Zeolite catalysts from rice husk silica for biomass valorisation via aldol condensation

Project dates: 01/01/2024 - 20/12/2024

This project aims to explore the synthesis, characterisation, and application of zeolite catalysts from rice husk ash.

The main objective is to optimise the catalyst properties for application in the aldol condensation of levulinic acid and furfural, aiming to create higher value chemical compounds from biomass-based feedstocks.
