“…Thinking of a practical application for reaction (1), catalyst should be prepared in supported form, which improves dispersion, prevents aggregation and facilitates it use in successive cycles. Most papers report the use of metal oxides such as SiO2, TiO2, CeO2, SnO2, ZrO2, etc and other ceramics as catalyst support [7,14,17,19]. However, if CHC is thought to be employed for heating purposes, silicon carbide should be considered as a support of election due to its high mechanical strength, chemical inertness and high thermal conductivity to prevent the formation of hot spots [20].…”
