Abstract
The legal obligation to swiftly adopt renewable energies has been increased because of the continuous usage of fossil fuels. In this perspective, biomass serves as a pillar to improve the current conditions over different heterogeneous catalysts due to their known advantages. This work is focused on the synthesis of a novel catalyst comprising mono lacunary phosphotungstate and zeolite HY. The catalyst was characterized by number of physicochemical techniques and evaluation of the activity of catalyst for the esterification of most promising bio platforms, levulinic acid and succinic acid to produce fuel additives. After a detailed optimization of both reactions, remarkable conversions of levulinic acid (77%) and succinic acid (96%) with turnover numbers of 2749 and 3427 respectively, were obtained. The order of the reaction and activation energy for the said reactions were calculated in the kinetic study. The sustainable nature of the catalyst was confirmed via regeneration and viability towards other bio-based molecules which enhances its industrial importance.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
