In this work, the role played by the hydrophobic/ hydrophilic balance of the catalyst surface is investigated. A series of Ga-silicate catalysts with different degrees of methylation were synthesized via the aerosol process and tested in the acetalization of glycerol with acetone to produce solketal.
