Bamboo Leaf Ash As A Green And Sustainable Source Of Amorphous Silica For The Synthesis Of Zeolite Catalyst Materials For Cyanoethylation Of Alcohols

The aim of this project was to study the potential use of bamboo leaf ash (BLA) for the synthesis of LTA- and X-type zeolites which were the catalysts for the cyanoethylation of alcohols reaction. The amorphous BLA with high silica content (99.37% SiO2) was first prepared via acid treatment prior to...
