Abstract

The mineral feldspar is a potential raw material in zeolite synthesis because of the high content of SiO2 and Al2O3. Characterization of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) on Mesawa feldspar minerals showed high crystallinity and aluminosilicate composition. The synthesis process uses the hydrothermal method with various times and concentrations of NaOH. The sample was mixed with NaOH, stirred until homogeneous at 300 rpm for 1 hour, and transferred to an autoclave. The autoclave was tightly closed and heated in an oven at 170 °C for 72 hours. XRD and XRF analysis revealed that the feldspar mineral had changed to sodalite with a purity of 90.89% and 90.06%; with a yield of 80.89% and 87.36%. FTIR characteristics show a specific peak for sodalite at 422-460 cm-1 related to Si-O bond vibrations, and absorption bands at 698 and 719 cm-1 related to Al-OH vibrations. The SEM results confirmed the morphology of the sodalite resembling balls like raspberries". This research proves that the Mesawa feldspar mineral sample contains type 6 secondary building units, the same blocks as zeolite analcime and cancrinite, so it has the potential as an adsorbent for heavy metals and as a catalyst alternative

Abstract

Polyoxometalates (POMs) have emerged as exceptionally versatile catalysts for green chemical reactions, demonstrating significant potential in the sustainable valorization of biomass. Their tunable Brønsted/Lewis acidity and redox properties enable a broad range of chemical transformations, offering remarkable flexibility in process design. This mini review provides a summary of recent advances in the thermocatalytic conversion of biomass using POMs, addressing their utilization as both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Key reaction pathways, including solvolysis, oxidation, esterification, and condensation, are highlighted as fundamental processes in biomass valorization. A central focus is placed on the crucial challenge of catalyst regenerability and stability, examining strategies to ensure the long-term viability and economic feasibility of these systems while facing the apparent low-temperature stability challenge of POMs. Finally, this review synthesizes current regeneration methods and presents a forward-looking perspective on the future challenges and opportunities in the field of biomass conversion catalyzed by polyoxometalates.
