      Application of zeolites for the production of biofuels and furans from hexose sugars in ethanol 

      Torres Olea, Benjamín; Pérez Merchán, Antonio Manuel; Díaz Maizkurrena, Paula; Requies Martínez, Jesús María ORCID; Moreno Tost, Ramón; Cecilia, Juan Antonio; García Sancho, Cristina; Maireles Torres, Pedro Jesús (Elsevier, 2024-02)
      The use of zeolites as catalysts in the transformation of glucose and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) was evaluated. The behaviour of the catalysts could be explained by their morphology, ...

      Evaluation of ZrO2/Al2O3 system as catalysts in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to obtain furfuryl alcohol 

      García Sancho, Cristina; Jiménez Gómez, Carmen Pilar; Viar Antuñano, Nerea ORCID; Cecilia, Juan Antonio; Moreno Tost, Ramón; Mérida Robles, María Josefa; Requies Martínez, Jesús María ORCID; Maireles Torres, Pedro Jesús (Elsevier, 2021-10-26)
      ZrO2, Al2O3 and ZrO2/Al2O3 with different Zr/Al molar ratio, have been synthesized by coprecipitation and subsequent calcination. The resulting catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron ...

      Influence of Lewis acidity and CaCl2 on the direct transformation of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural 

      Torres Olea, Benjamín; García Sancho, Cristina; Cecilia, Juan Antonio; Oregui Bengoechea, Mikel; Arias Ergueta, Pedro Luis; Moreno Tost, Ramón; Maireles Torres, Pedro Jesús (Elsevier, 2021-06-11)
      [EN] Nb-Zr oxides were evaluated for glucose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. A linear relationship was found between the amount of acid sites and niobium content. Pure Nb2O5 showed the highest acid concentration ...

      Influence of morphology of zirconium-doped mesoporous silicas on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production from mono-, di- and polysaccharides 

      Mérida Morales, Sandra; García Sancho, Cristina; Oregui Bengoechea, Mikel; Ginés Molina, María José; Cecilia, Juan Antonio; Arias Ergueta, Pedro Luis; Moreno Tost, Ramón; Maireles Torres, Pedro Jesús (Elsevier, 2020-02-21)
      [EN] Different zirconium-doped mesoporous silicas (Zr-KIT-6, Zr-SBA-15, Zr-MCM-41 and Zr-HMS) were synthesized and evaluated in the glucose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). A Si/Zr molar ratio of 5 was chosen ...
