The Brønsted acidity of proton-exchanged zeolites has historically led to the most impactful
applications of these materials in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly in the fields of …

The ever increasing industrial production of commodity and specialty chemicals inexorably
depletes the finite primary fossil resources available on Earth. The forecast of population …

Biomass has attracted great attention as a carbon source for the production of valuable
chemicals and fuels. Selective ring-opening hydrogenation of cyclic oxygenates derived …

A biorefinery that supplements its manufacture of low value biofuels with high value
biobased chemicals can enable efforts to reduce nonrenewable fuel consumption while …

Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel, soap and fatty acid manufacturing plants, which are
now facing sustainability threats and a reduction in prices in the market due to its oversupply …

This Review describes recent advances in the design, synthesis, reactivity, selectivity,
structural, and electronic properties of the catalysts for reforming of a variety of oxygenates …

We have prepared a series of well-characterized acid catalysts, including Zr–P, SiO2–
Al2O3, WOX/ZrO2, γ-Al2O3, and HY zeolite and tested them for aqueous-phase dehydration …

Catalytic dehydration of glycerol to acrolein has the potential to valorise the glut of crude
glycerol issuing from biodiesel production. This reaction requires catalysts with appropriate …

Catalytic dehydration is one of the possible reactions to valorize the large amounts of
glycerol yielding from the transesterification process. Thus, since the biodiesel boom in 2004 …

Supported molybdenum oxide (MoO x) and tungsten oxide (WO x) materials are a vital class
of solid acid catalysts for the chemical industry because of their nontoxic nature, strong …
