A clinker-based catalyst (CBC) was synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation with potassium hydroxide (10 wt%), then calcined at 700 ◦C. XRD and EDX analyses revealed that CaO (66.61 wt%) and Ca (34.63 wt%) are the primary constituents of the CBC, with the main crystalline phases identified as C...
