MPV Reduction of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol on Mg, Zr, Ti, Zr–Ti, and Mg–Ti Solids: Influence of Acid–Base Properties
(MDPI, 2018)
The Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reaction is an environmentally-friendly process consisting of the reduction of a carbonyl compound through hydrogen transfer from a secondary alcohol. This work deals with MPV reduction ...
Influence of Boron, Tungsten and Molybdenum Modifiers on Zirconia Based Pt Catalyst for Glycerol Valorization
(MDPI, 2019)
The influence of boron, tungsten and molybdenum modifiers on zirconia-based Pt catalyst was studied for glycerol valorization. Zirconia modified supports were prepared by impregnation of ZrO2 with either boric, silicontungstic ...
Microemulsion and Sol-Gel Synthesized ZrO2-MgO Catalysts for the Liquid-Phase Dehydration of Xylose to Furfural
(MDPI, 2017)
Two series of catalysts were prepared by sol-gel and microemulsion synthetic procedure
(SG and ME, respectively). Each series includes both pure Mg and Zr solids as well as Mg-Zr mixed
solids with 25%, 50% and 75% nominal ...
Aldol Condensation of Furfural with Acetone Over Mg/Al Mixed Oxides. Influence of Water and Synthesis Method
(MDPI, 2019)
Aldol condensation of furfural and acetone (an important initial step to obtain diesel from biomass) was studied over MgAl mixed oxides. The influence of the utilization of microwaves and/or a surfactant (Pluronic 123) ...
Olive Leaves as Biotemplates for Enhanced Solar-Light Harvesting by a Titania-Based Solid
(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 ...
Hydrogen Production through Glycerol Photoreforming on TiO2/Mesoporous Carbon: Influence of the Synthetic Method
(MDPI, 2020)
This article explores the effect of the synthetic method of titanium dioxide (TiO2)/C composites (physical mixture and the water-assisted/unassisted sol-gel method) on their photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production ...
Hydrogen Photo-Production from Glycerol Using Nickel-Doped TiO2 Catalysts: Effect of Catalyst Pre-Treatment
(MDPI, 2019)
In the present piece of research, hydrogen production via the photo-reforming of glycerol (a byproduct from biodiesel generation) is studied. Catalysts consisted of titania modified by Ni (0.5% by weight) obtained through ...
Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para la virtualización de laboratorios de ciencias
(UCOPress, 2018)
Desde la inclusión de España en la Declaración de Bolonia, cuyo objetivo es reformar el sistema universitario a través del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), el alumno adquiere un papel de liderazgo en el proceso ...
Glyceraldehyde production by photocatalytic oxidation of glycerol on WO3-based materials
(Elsevier, 2021)
Valorization of glycerol into high added-value products by photocatalysis can not only create good economic benefits, but also cater to the global low-carbon and energy-saving environmental protection needs. In this study ...
Biochars from olive stones as Carbonaceous support in Pt/TiO2-Carbon Photocatalysts and application in hydrogen production from aqueous glycerol photoreforming
(MDPI, 2023)
Several biochars were synthesized from olive stones and used as supports for TiO2, as an active semiconductor, and Pt as a co-catalyst (Pt/TiO2-PyCF and Pt/TiO2-AC). A third carbon-supported photocatalyst was prepared from ...
