Zeolite-β based molecular sieves: A potential catalyst for esterification of biomass derived model compound levulinic acid

A series of hetero ions (iron, boron, gallium, titanium, and zinc [Fe3+, B3+, Ga3+, Ti4+, and Zn2+, respectively) incorporated zeolite-β is prepared via a simple hydrothermal method within 48 h at 170 °C. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy analysis and powder X-ray diffraction (FT-IR and XRD, r...
