Activated bentonite nanocomposite for the synthesis of solketal from glycerol in the liquid phase

Activated bentonites are low-cost acid catalysts used in several reactions. However, their application at an industrial scale is affected by the formation of colloidal suspensions when these bentonites are in aqueous solutions. In order to overcome these limitations, this work proposes obtaining a c...
