Biodiesel production is commonly carried out through the process of transesterification
reaction. The reaction is expedited with a suitable catalyst either homogeneous or …

Biodiesel is produced through the process of transesterification of different edible and non-
edible oils and animal fats. The process takes place either in the presence of a …

Carbon plays a dual role as a catalyst or a catalyst support for chemical and enzymatic
biomass transformation reactions due to its large specific surface area, high porosity …

Heteroatom do** of carbon materials may become the “Next Big Thing” in materials
science further enhancing research concerning carbon nanostructures. In particular, the S …

In the last few years, biodiesel has emerged as one of the most potential renewable energy
to replace current petrol-derived diesel. It is a renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel …

Most of biobased polyols for polyurethanes are synthesized from vegetable oils. In the first
part, the present review goes into details of these different synthetic routes to obtain polyols …

This review deals with the general discussion on green chemistry and catalysis; and solid
acid catalysts. Various Lewis and Brønsted solid acid catalysts reported in the last few years …

Reusable, solid acid carbon supported catalysts were generated from biomass by pyrolysis
(400–500° C) to generate a soft to hard carbon backbone (ie, biochar) for addition of acidic …

Novel biomass‐derived porous carbons are attractive candidates for the preparation of
carbon‐supported catalysts with a wide range of catalytic applications. Such carbonaceous …

Homogeneous Brønsted acid catalysts such as H2SO4 and HCl are used for the production
of industrially important chemicals. However, their use requires significant energy costs for …
