Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop a cheap and green chemical process and this paper describes the catalytic commotion of locally collected sand in Friedel–Craft’s Acylation of aromatic compounds like benzene, anisole, aniline, naphthalene and phenol etc. The sand consists of silica and alumina as analyzed by means of EDAX and acts as a green Lewis acid. The catalyst was also characterized by using BET, SEM, and XRD techniques.
