MoO3 and Ni-Zn ferrites catalyst and their applications: a scientific and technological vision

Abstract

The objective of this work was to carry out a literature review of scientific articles published recently on the use of MoO3 and Ni-Zn ferrites as catalysts for biodiesel production, aiming to highlight whether there are studies in the literature reporting the use of MoO3 catalysts supported on Ni ferrite -Zn for biodiesel catalysis applications. The literature review was conducted using the Start software, with a time frame from 2018 to 2023, using the indexed platforms: ScienceDirect, Web of Science and Scopus. As a result, this work showed a wide and consolidated use of ceramic compounds of MoO3 and Ni-Zn ferrites as catalysts in reactions for biodiesel production. The present study also showed a scientific gap in the science of heterogeneous catalysts, since no studies were found that report the use of magnetic catalysts (MoO3/Ni-Zn ferrite), with emphasis on biofuel production.
