Decarboxylation of biomass-derived fatty acids provides an important method for the
production of value-added alkane fuels and chemicals. Here, selective decarboxylative C–C …

The effects of water on the carboxylic acid ketonization reaction over solid Lewis-acid
catalysts were examined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, diffuse …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, originating from both natural and anthropogenic
sources, are ubiquitous in the environment. Growing evidence shows that TiO2 can …

Ketonization of propionic acid has been investigated on Lewis acidic TS-1 and Ti-Beta
zeolites to understand the reaction mechanism and effects of pore topology and …

High-melting hydrocarbon waxes (melting point:> 80 C), consisting of saturated alkanes with
carbon numbers greater than 40, exhibit unique features including high melting points, high …

Recently, interest in converting bio‐derived fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) into added‐
value products has significantly increased. The selectivity of ketonization reaction in the …

Exploring reactions on well-defined surfaces may contribute to a better understanding of
structure–activity relationships for metal oxide-mediated reactions. Herein, anatase TiO2 …

Fatty acids (FA) are the main constituents of lipids and oil crop waste, considered to be a
promising 2G biomass that can be converted into ketenes via catalytic pyrolysis. Ketenes are …

This study explores the selective ketonization of acetic acid on TiO 2, ZrO 2, and HfO 2
catalysts, focusing on the vapour phase conversion of acetic acid and its subsequent …

A series of CeO 2 catalysts with varying Na content were tested for vapor-phase ketonization
of propionic acid at 350° C. Na+ diffuses into the CeO 2 lattice and excess NaO x …
