Article Synopsis
- - Ultrasonic pretreatment of gel compositions followed by hydrothermal synthesis produced nanocrystallite zeolite beta (ZB) with varying crystal sizes (10.3 nm for ZB-1, 22.6 nm for ZB-2, and 9.1 nm for ZB-3), influencing their physical and catalytic properties.
- - The specific surface area and mesopore volume varied among the ZB types, with ZB-1 having the highest surface area (438 m²/g), impacting their catalytic activity over time, particularly in the conversion of anisole.
- - ZB-2 exhibited sustained catalytic activity due to its smaller size and lower mesopore volume, whereas ZB-1
Biomass feedstocks offer very promising sustainable production of fuels and chemicals as fossil fuels generate greenhouse gases and are going to become scarce. Nevertheless, establishing value addition to biomass waste to produce commodity chemicals by combining economic and environmental performances is complex. In this context, hydrogenation of biomass based levulinic acid at normal atmospheric reaction conditions using robust cobalt supported on porous heterogeneous catalyst has been studied at 200 °C in a continuous process.
