I am a new master student, I need a proposal for synthesis catalyst for biodiesel. My problem is I need to work on zirconia based solid acid catalyst for biodiesel production( supported on silica or activated carbon and my supervisor ask me to have new method or new source. kindly help me
its good but I am master student and they did not give me proposal
pleas if you can help me
thank you Giuseppe Trunfio
we have all the chemical and all the device just i need to suggest any catalyst to work on it
It depends on how experimental you want to be. Most catalytic cracking systems use high strength acids situated in small pore sizes to effect catalytic activity. If you are developing a new catalyst then you need to consider the structural impact of your system. Zeolites are common catalysts as is the use of alumina as an adjuvant, but in terms of novel research you could look into other porous materials in the nanotechnology field; 3D graphene is quite topical. You could also look into the use of short length carbon nanotubes or naturally occuring high porousity minerals such as pumice or scoria, crushed into a powder then treated with strong acids to create extra vacancy sites. Rare earth metals have also been used as adjuvant treatments.
thank you mr.Eric B. J. Harris can you help me to write a LITERATURE REVIEW and METHODOLOGY in zirconia supported on graphene (or carbon nanotubes or 3D graphene) catalyst for biodiesel or if you have Article or papers
Hi
I think solid acid support is needed, Alumina is a common porous solid acid support and it is characterised by its Lewis acidity and high surface area (around 400 m2/g) along with high pore volume (0.5 cm3/g), please find the attached paper that discuss the effect of precursor type, calcination temperature on the preparation of mesoporous nano- eta alumina
Have a good day
