Commercially available solid acid catalyst, H-USY zeolite was modified by treating with aqueous solution of H3PO4 and H2SO4 (10–30 wt %). Modified H-USY was completely characterized by XRD, NH3-TPD, energy dispersive analysis X-ray (EDAX), FT-IR, pyridine-IR, and NMR. Its catalytic performance was evaluated for the fructose conversion to 5-HMF in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK)–water system. Modified H-USY zeolite was identified to have potential in enhancement of 5-HMF yield up to 65% from 32% (parent H-USY) with minimum formation of furfural (8%). H-USY modified with 10 wt % H3PO4 (10P–Y) was found to be the best compared to other studied catalysts, namely, H-USY modified with 20 and 30 wt % H3PO4 (20 and 30P–Y) or 10–30 wt % H2SO4 (10- to 30S–Y). Best performance of 10P–Y is associated with the optimum combination of moderate acidity (both weak as well as strong), moderate dealumination of Al from extra-framework sites as well as from framework sites of H-USY, formation of new Al–O–P bonds between framework Al and elemental monomeric phosphorus, presence of Brønsted as well as Lewis acidity, and creation of mesopores. This gives new insight on a potential heterogeneous acid catalyst for the synthesis of 5-HMF.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not Available</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heda, Jidnyasa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Niphadkar, Prashant</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bokade, Vijay</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Efficient synergetic combination of H-USY and SnO2 for direct conversion of glucose into ethyl levulinate (Biofuel Additive)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy &amp; Fuels</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2319-2327</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Ethyl levulinate (EL), a biofuel additive for petroleum and biodiesel can also be used as a 100% fuel to replace petroleum diesel with the existing diesel engine. The major problem to make the EL process economical is the lack of a proper conversion technology to convert C-6 sugars such as glucose with higher yield of EL as well as process which can tolerate higher glucose concentration to increase productivity. The present study highlighted the catalytic synthesis of EL from glucose over synergetic combination of zeolite H-USY and Lewis acidic catalysts such as Sn-beta, TiO2, ZrO2, and SnO2. Because of the strong Lewis acidic nature and the subsequent enhancement in the isomerization rate from glucosides to fructosides, the synergetic combination of H-USY with SnO2 showed higher EL yield than the combination with other Lewis acidic catalysts. So far, the highest EL yield of 81% from glucose (50 g/L) at 180 degrees C in 3 h was achieved over the optimal combination of 95% H-USY and 5% SnO2 having strong/weak acidity and B/L ratios of 1.30 and 0.75, respectively. The study was further extended for establishing the proposed reaction mechanism without the formation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, levulinic acid, and formic acid which makes the overall process clean and green.&lt;/p&gt;

Thus, it will be advantageous if this rice husk waste can be used for preparation of valuable products. One of the application is its use as silica source in the synthesis of zeolites like ZSM-5, which are silico-aluminates. Rice husk waste is available in wide range of particle sizes in agricultural farms. There is no study available in open literature on use of these wide particle ranges for its direct application. This paper is an attempt to use wide particle size rice husk, its effect on ZSM-5 synthesis and its physico-chemical properties. Further these prepared ZSM-5 catalyst was evaluated for benzylation of mesitylene reaction. The study found that, rice husk of 600 mu m particle size is optimum as far as ZSM-5 synthesis, its physicochemical properties and further its application in mesitylene benzylation reaction.&lt;/p&gt;

	Hierarchical TS-1 materials were synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis and a post modification technique through desilication. They were evaluated for hydroxylation of anisole to produce industrially important chemicals, o-methoxyphenol (OMP) and p-methoxyphenol (PMP). The detailed characterization of the prepared catalysts, such as morphology, structure, nature of Ti and surface area were obtained by SEM, HR-TEM, XRD, UV-VIS spectroscopy and the BET technique. The effects of various operational parameters such as substrate/H2O2 molar ratio, reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and solvent effect on the hydroxylation of anisole have been studied in detail. The microporous TS-1 catalyst showed 32% anisole conversion with 34% selectivity to PMP, while the micro/mesoporous DTS-1 catalyst showed enhanced activity for anisole hydroxylation, i.e. 54% conversion with 55% selectivity towards PMP. The increased framework Ti and improved accessibility of the active sites located in the channels of DTS-1, which permit the mass transfer of reactants, transition states and products from the mesopores of DTS-1, were responsible for the enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity towards p-methoxyphenol.&lt;/p&gt;

	Application of non-edible Karanja (Millettia pinnata) oil which is abundantly available in India is not explored so far. The present study is an attempt to convert fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) obtained from Karanja oil to methyl epoxioleate over hierarchical titanosilicate (TS-1) catalyst. Methyl epoxioleate, a biodiesel additive can blend up to 20% with biodiesels to improve oxidative stability and cold flow properties of biodiesel. A series of hierarchical TS-1 were prepared by desilication of parent TS-1 with 0.1 N NaOH at 80 degrees C for 1, 3, 5, and 7 h, respectively. Samples were characterized by powder XRD, low temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption, and TEM. Eighty percent FAME conversion with 70% yield of methyl epoxioleate was obtained over 5H-TS-1 catalyst. The enhanced catalytic activity of a 5H-TS-1 compared to parent TS-1 mainly attributed to the high mesoporosity coupled with well-preserved crystallinity. 5H-TS-1 catalyst was found to be completely reusable after calcination at 500 degrees C for 12 h. Hierarchical 5H-TS-1 catalyst for effective conversion of non-edible Karanja oil methyl ester to methyl epoxioleate probably not reported so far.&lt;/p&gt;

	Cold flow properties of biodiesel can be improved by addition of additives especially ethyl levulinate (EL up to 20%). There are very limited information on synthesis of EL from actual raw biomass like wheat straw over heterogeneous catalyst. The present article elaborated on optimization of Acidity to Mesoporosity ratio in H-USY, which is crucial for its application in conversion of raw wheat straw to selective formation of EL in one-step. The acidity and mesoporosity is monitor by systematic post treatment of desilication and dealumination. Optimum acidity/mesoporosity ratio of 3.6 in HUSY resulted in to maximum EL yield of 24.5%, which is probably the highest so far.&lt;/p&gt;

	The synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons from lignocellulosic biomass has been achieved with notable success. However, these technologies often require multistep approaches and are energy intensive. Thus, there is a considerable economic and environmental benefit of process intensification by the synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons in a one-pot process. For the first time, we report direct conversion of raw poplar into liquid alkanes and aromatics (carbon yield of 15.6 +/- 0.6 wt %) with high selectivity toward C-7-C15 cycloalkanes (7.8 +/- 0.1 wt %) and low level of oxygenated compounds (&amp;lt;2.0 wt %) at 270 degrees C and 3 MPa initial H(2 )pressure for 6 h using 10% Ni/H-beta zeolite as a catalyst and cyclohexane as a solvent. The effect of temperature (250-270 degrees C), Ni loading (0-10%), and type of zeolite support (H-beta, ZSM-5, and USY) on process performance was also investigated. In addition, the 10% Ni/H-beta catalyst showed recyclability over two reactions, with a 17.6% decrease in liquid hydrocarbon yield after the first reaction. This approach has the potential to simplify the synthesis of liquid fuels from lignocellulosic biomass.&lt;/p&gt;

	Direct conversion of methane to value-added products is a long-standing challenge. This report presents the one-step conversion of methane to oxygenates using H2O2 as an oxidant over an Au and Fe supported on NaZSM-5 (0.1Au0.1FeNZ) catalyst, which produces 4264 mu mol of oxygenates with 89% selectivity toward formic acid at 10 bar and 60 degrees C within 30 min in a batch process. The catalyst also produces 26.5 mu mol of oxygenates with 70% selectivity for formic acid at atmospheric pressure and 80 degrees C in a continuous flow process over 9 h of reaction time, making it the first report of such a process. The synergistic interaction of Au and Fe, with the crucial role of Na ions in the zeolite framework in driving the reaction, is revealed through various characterization tools like TEM, XPS, and XAS. Theoretical studies elucidate the active sites responsible for lowering the activation barrier for the crucial C-H activation step. Thus, the catalyst enables the conversion of methane into formic acid with high activity and selectivity, offering new possibilities for harnessing this potent greenhouse gas under process-friendly conditions that were previously unexplored.&lt;/p&gt;
