PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CAESIUM BASED CLAY CATALYST FOR GLYCEROL CONVERSION

Caesium based clay catalyst was successfully prepared and well characterized using Xray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Surface area and pore analyser (SAP) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. XRD de...
