Nopol Epoxidation over V- and Sn-Exchanged Hydrotalcites

Thermal treatments and reactions conditions are key factors to enhance the activity of Sn(or V)-hydrotalcites for nopol epoxidation. Tin is a desirable metal concerning to environmental issues, and lower loadings were suitable. The product is a source of high value compounds. The proposed processes aim to replace conventional stoichiometric processes.
