Biodiesel is a promising alternative to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. However,
biodiesel's cost is still higher than its petroleum counterpart, hence its production process …

A series of materials based on the immobilization of the 12-tungstophosphoric
heteropolyacid over zirconia supports have been prepared and applied as heterogeneous …

The judicious utilization of waste cooking oil (WCO) could be a viable option to curtail the
production cost of biodiesel and mitigate the environmental issues related to waste disposal …

Biodiesel is a fuel safe, renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable and much less contaminant for
the environment than conventional diesel. Moreover, it represents a strategic source of …

Solids that possess acidic properties on their surfaces function as catalysts just like liquid
acids, such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. By using solid acid catalysts, chemical …

Biodiesel is now recognized as a “green fuel” that has several advantages over
conventional diesel. In the present review we discuss the catalytic esterification and …

12-Tungstophosphoric acid anchored to SBA-15 was synthesized and characterized by
various physico-chemical techniques such as TGA, FT-IR, DRS, XRD, N2 adsorption …

The esterification of palmitic acid with methanol was studied over mesoporous sulfated
zirconia (SZ) solid acid catalyst, prepared by using CTAB cationic surfactant as a template …

Acid catalysis, one of the most important industrial processes, suffers from the toxicity,
corrosion and recyclability problems of conventional homogeneous acid catalysts. Thus, the …
