Conversion of D-Fructose into Ethyl Lactate Over a Supported SnO<sub>2</sub>–ZnO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Catalyst

The study is directed to the search of a simple effective catalyst for ethyl lactate obtained from fructose as renewable raw material. A series of SnO<sub>2</sub>-containing oxides prepared by impregnation of alumina were characterized by several techniques in order to determine their te...
