Abstract

A heteropoly acid (HPA) is made up of a particular combination of hydrogen and oxygen with certain metals and non-metals. In past years, Heteropoly acids have been extensively studied as acid catalysts for many reactions and found industrial applications on large scale. HPAs have several advantages over mineral acid catalysts, including non-corrosive and environmentally benign in nature. Use of heteropoly acids (HPAs) in heterogeneous acid catalysis has the significance of substantial economic and green benefits.
