Abstract
The Rice husk (RH) was carbonized and post-synthetically ultrasonicated with sulfuric acid to yield the solid acid catalyst (RBs). The presence of acidic groups was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). In the present work, the prepared catalyst was tested against hydration of phenylacetylene (PA) in aqueous media, allowing the facile separation of catalyst for recycling. The biochar-based acid catalyst assisted in the lowering of activation energy needed for the synthesis of the Markovnikov addition product.
