Porto Santo clays as environmentally friendly catalysts for the conversion of renewable terpene feedstocks. Limonene to p-cymene, an example

A bentonite collected at Serra de Dentro, Porto Santo Island, Portugal was selected as the starting material for the preparation of ion-exchanged clay catalysts. The pristine clay was characterized in terms of chemical composition (XRF), structure (XRD an FTIR spectroscopy), textural properties (nit...
