Abstract

Abstract Heterogeneous acid catalysis by heteropoly acids ( HPAs ) has the potential for substantial economic and green benefits. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the perspectives of acid catalysis by solid HPAs, focusing in particular on several approaches that could help to achieve sustainable catalyst performance. These approaches include developing novel HPA catalysts possessing high thermal stability, modification of HPA catalysts to enhance coke combustion, inhibition of coke formation on HPA catalysts during operation and reactions in supercritical fluids and cascade reactions using multifunctional HPA catalysis.
