The catalyst potassium iron zirconium phosphate [PIZP] was prepared by sol–gel method. The as-synthesized material was characterized by crystal size, elemental analysis, BET surface area, pore volume, average pore diameter, XRD, FTIR and DSC techniques. The catalytic activity was tested for the benz...
