Abstract Isosorbide is a multi-purpose chemical that can be produced from renewable resources. Specifically, it has been
investigated as a replacement for toxic bisphenol A (BPA) in the production of polycarbonate (PC). In this study,
the synthesis of isosorbide by sorbitol dehydration using a cerium-based catalyst derived from calcined
cerium (IV) sulfate (300°C, 400°C, 450°C, 500°C, and 650°C) was investigated. The reaction occurred in a
high-pressure reactor containing nitrogen gas. Advanced instrumental techniques were applied to analyze the
characteristics of the calcined catalyst. The results showed that the calcined catalysts demonstrated different
crystalline structures and sulfate More >
