RUDN University Chemist Suggested Increasing the Biofuel Production Efficiency with silica-supported heteropolyacids

Caption

A chemist from RUDN University developed a silica-supported heteropolyacid system to produce ethers from waste products of the wood and paper industry and agriculture. Ethers can be used as biofuels, and the new method increases the efficiency of their production 4 to 10 times, thus reducing energy consumption and making the manufacturing of biofuels cheaper.
