Abstract:ZnAl2O4 is a cubic close‐packed oxide with tetrahedral and octahedral sites in the lattice structure. The catalytic activity of ZnAl2O4 is strongly connected with the surface properties caused by the partially inverse spinel ZnAl2O4 structure. In this research, ZnAl2O4 catalysts are prepared for the glycerolysis of urea via the polymeric citrate complex method using polymeric templates made of citric acid with a different polyol precursor. Depending on the polyol precursor, the partial inversion parameters rep… Show more
