Conventional biodiesel production uses a homogeneous catalyst for the conversion of
vegetable and animal oils. There is still a need for active, selective, and stable …

Fine chemicals are produced in small annual volume batch processes (often< 10,000
tonnes per year), with a high associated price (usually> USD 10/kg). As a result of their …

Isomorphic substitution of zeolite and zeotype materials plays a dominant role in tuning the
performance of the materials in adsorption and catalysis. Here, aluminophosphate AlPO 4-5 …

In this paper, we first propose a method to produce methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate (HBM),
which is an essential chemical in semiconductor manufacturing processes, through …

In this work, a series of metal-exchanged phosphotungstate salts, Fe-TPA, Ni-TPA, Cu-TPA,
and Cr-TPA, were tested for esterification of acetic acid to methyl acetate under UV …

The structures of the adsorbed water molecules in AlPO 4–5, their structural evolutions and
changes of Al-OP angles between tetrahedra upon water adsorption were investigated by …

In recent years, membrane technologies have emerged as a promising solution for water
treatment, particularly ultrafiltration. However, fouling remains a significant challenge in …

The surface or interface facets design is a versatile strategy to improve essential catalytic
features to enhance efficiency. Herein, a systematic study was conducted to explore the …
