• Ternary Hydrotalcites in the Multicomponent Synthesis of 4H-Pyrans 

  Nope, Eliana; Sathicq, Ángel; Martínez, José J.; Rojas, Hugo; Luque, Rafael; Romanelli, Gustavo P. (MDPI, 2020)

  Lamellar double hydroxides (LDH) with double divalent cations were synthesized by the co-precipitation method and studied in the multicomponent synthesis of 4H-pyrans. The solids obtained were characterized by X-ray ...

• Acetone Prospect as an Additive to Allow the Use of Castor and Sunflower Oils as Drop-In Biofuels in Diesel/Acetone/Vegetable Oil Triple Blends for Application in Diesel Engines 

  Aguado-Deblas, Laura; Hidalgo-Carrillo, J.; Bautista, Felipa M.; Luna, Diego; Luna, Carlos; Calero, Juan; Posadillo, Alejandro; Romero, Antonio A.; Estévez, R. (MDPI, 2020)

  The present paper investigates the feasibility of using acetone (ACE) in triple blends with fossil diesel (D) and straight vegetable oils (SVOs) as alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this respect, ACE is selected as ...

• Performance and Emission Quality Assessment in a Diesel Engine of Straight Castor and Sunflower Vegetable Oils, in Diesel/Gasoline/Oil Triple Blends 

  Estévez, R.; Aguado-Deblas, Laura; Posadillo, Alejandro; Hurtado, Beatriz; Bautista, Felipa M.; Hidalgo, José M.; Luna, Carlos; Calero, Juan; Romero, Antonio A.; Luna, Diego (MDPI, 2019)

  This research evaluates the possibility of using straight oils such as castor oil, which is not suitable for food use, and sunflower oil, used as a standard reference for waste cooking oils, in blends with gasoline as ...

• Development of ’Lignin-First’ Approaches for the Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass 

  Korányi, Tamás I.; Fridrich, Bálint; Pineda, A.; Barta, Katalin (MDPI, 2020)

  Currently, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass almost exclusively focuses on the production of pulp, paper, and bioethanol from its holocellulose constituent, while the remaining lignin part that comprises the highest ...

• Olive Leaves as Biotemplates for Enhanced Solar-Light Harvesting by a Titania-Based Solid 

  Hidalgo-Carrillo, J.; Martín-Gómez, Juan; Herrera-Beurnio, M. Carmen; Estévez, R.; Urbano Navarro, Francisco José; Marinas, Alberto (MDPI, 2020)

  Olive leaves (by-product from olive oil production in olive mills) were used as biotemplates to synthesize a titania-based artificial olive leaf (AOL). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of AOL showed the successful ...
