Synthesis and catalytic application of macroscopic zeolite beads
with hierarchical porosity

The thesis has been focused on synthesis and catalytic application of macroscopic and hierarchical zeolite beads using hard templating techniques. The hierarchical porosity containing larger meso- and macropores are useful to decrease the diffusion limitation which is a drawback of inherently microporous zeolites. These structured zeolites were used as heterogeneous catalysts in several reactions such as acylation, acetalization, biobased up-grading and epoxidation reactions.
