Abstract:Utilizing surplus glycerol from biodiesel production for dioxolane synthesis, a significant fuel enhancer, is pivotal. We developed mesoporous spherical KIT-6 supported WO3 using sodium silicate derived from bamboo leaf ash (BLA) and ammonium tungstate hydrate. Characterization via XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, TEM, NH3-TPD, and XPS confirmed KIT-6's phase purity. WO3 impregnation on BLA-KIT-6 notably improved glycerol conversion and dioxolane selectivity compared to amorphous KIT-6 from tetraethyl ortho… Show more
