Phosphate catalysts are of major importance in both industry and in research, especially those based on metal.[1] Hence, for this reason, our main reaserch focus was the chemical synthesis of a set of catalysts with a good catalysis activity and a high selectivity in conjuction with the physicochemical study of those materials.

The authenticity of our work lays in the fact that we have eleborated a new serie of copper and zinc based phosphate catalysts.[2] In this novel serie a set of differentes phosphate catalysts (Cu,Zn-P), each one with a different pourcentages of copper and zinc metals were chemically prepared and elaborated. After this, our products were charachterized using various physico chemical technics such as : X ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Infra-red spectroscopy (IR). RAMAN spectroscopy.
Finally, we will use this novel serie in the catalysis of various chemical reactions , such as : isomeristaion, alkylation, hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis with the aim that we utilize this set in the field of green chemistry and the environnment protection
