Balance between Catalyst Acidity and Hydrophilicity in Biofuel Production from Fatty Acid Esterification over Al-SBA-15

A collection of Al-SBA-15 mesoporous catalysts (Si/Al = 13–174) was investigated to overcome typical accessibility constraints of microporous solids. <sup>27</sup>Al MAS NMR confirmed the existence of tetrahedrally coordinated Al in the catalyst’s framework, and the fraction of such spec...
