Use of new technologies for catalysts preparation: microwaves and ultrasounds:
Synthesis of smectites (hectorites, saponites)
Preparation of hydrotalcites, hydrocalumites
Modification of zeolites (desalumination, ionic exchange)
Modification of ordered mesoporous materials (sulfonation), among others
Environmental and Industrial Catalytic Applications:
Revalorization of glycerine (surplus in the biodiesel production) by its transformation in high-added value products
Etherification of glycerine with t-butanol or isobutene to obtain di-and tri-ethers of glycerol (h-GTBE) to be used as fuel additives
Hydrogenolysis of glycerine to obtain 1,2-propanediol, which can be used in antifreeze mixtures, in the production of polymers and in cosmetics
Etherification of glycerine to obtain di- and tri-glycerols to be applied in farmaceutical and cosmetic industries
Isomerization of linoleic acid to obtain several conjugated linoleic acids with antitumorgenic and nutritional properties
Hydrogenation of styrene oxide to obtain 2-phenylethanol (main component of rose oils)
Preparation of metal oxide and metal nanoparticles to be applied in photonic and optical devices
