This article reviews the recent advances in the development of zeolite catalysts for biomass
valorization processes to produce both biofuels and/or bio-based chemicals, which is an …

Levulinic acid is considered as a versatile building block because it can be used for the
synthesis of several organic chemicals. In particular, its esterification with ethanol produces …

Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel obtained from biomass, accounting for 10% of the
biodiesel production. In the context of a green economy, aiming for a reduction of the …

The projected growth of biodiesel world production has led to an increasing interest in
