Concurrent production of a diesel valeric biofuel and a fuel additive in a one-pot process over SiO2-Al2O3-supported catalysts: Influence of the Si/Al ratio

The coproduction of pentyl valerate biofuel and the diesel additive di-n-pentyl ether from γ-valerolactone, pentanol and H 2 in one-pot process is reported for the first time in spite of the...
