Levulinic acid (LA) is a valuable renewable resource that can serve as a versatile biomassderived building block for the synthesis of organic chemicals, providing a sustainable alternative to depleting fossil fuel resources. Catalytic esterification of LA with alcohol yields levulinate esters, which find numerous applications including perfumes and fuel additives. In this study, the performance […]

Using hydrothermal synthesis process a series of Mobil Five (MFI) zeolites were synthesized with silica to alumina ratio (SAR) of 50, 100 and 200. The synthesized MFI zeolites were used to exchange with 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% Ca(NO3)2 solutions for modification of MFI zeolites to Ca-MFI zeolite. The formation of MFI zeolite phases was identified […]
