Heterogeneous acid catalysts for biodiesel production: current status and future challenges

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a wide overview on the possibility of heterogeneous acid catalysts for biodiesel production replacing the homogeneous conventional process, which is usually prepared from crude and refined triglyceride containing raw materials, such as vegetable oils, animal fats and wastes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct syntheses of ordered SBA-15 mesoporous materials containing arenesulfonic acid groups

TL;DR: SBA-15 mesoporous silica has been functionalized with arenesulfonic acid groups by means of a one-step simple synthesis approach involving co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl)ethyltrimethoxylynylane (CSPTMS) under acid silica-based catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and Meso- and Macroscopic Properties of Hierarchical Nanocrystalline ZSM-5 Zeolite Prepared by Seed Silanization

TL;DR: In this article, surface-passivating silanization of protozeolitic units has been shown to be an effective strategy for the preparation of ZSM-5 nanocrystals, showing a controlled aggregation degree and a hierarchical porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiesel production from crude palm oil using sulfonic acid-modified mesostructured catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of SBA-15-modified mesostructured materials was investigated for biodiesel production from crude palm oil containing high percentage of free fatty acids over conventional ion-exchange sulfonic resins (Amberlyst-36 and SAC-13) in the simultaneous esterification and transesterification of triglycerides with methanol.
