Highly basic solid catalysts obtained by spray drying of a NaAlO₂ and boehmite suspension for the upgrading of glycerol to acetins

Abstract

In here, we present the low-cost spray drying production of NaAlO2–Al2O3 catalysts, which exhibit high activity in the transesterification of methyl acetate with glycerol to obtain acetins.

A Synthetic Approach to Synthesize Furan‐2‐Carboxylate Derivatives by Using a Magnetic Sodium Aluminate Catalyst

“…Sodium aluminate (NaAlO 2 ), a super base solid catalyst, has been frequently used for many base‐catalyzed organic transformations and industrial applications [6] . However, sodium aluminate is highly corrosive and hygroscopic, making it difficult to use for industrial and laboratory purposes [7] . Supporting NaAlO 2 on a suitable carrier not only increases the available surface area but also reduces the corrosive and hygroscopic properties as well as improves catalytic performance.…”
