abstract = {Problem statement: Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA-15) is significant mesoporous silica
with exclusive and important properties of highly ordered mesopores, hydrothermally stable and thick
wall, profusely large surface area and huge pore volume which render it as promising catalyst for wide
applications. However, the purely siliceous SBA-15 which lacks of acidity characteristic hinders its
ideal capabilities as catalyst. Moreover, functionalization and modification of SBA-15 could enhance
and optimize its catalytic activity. Conclusion/Recommendations: Thus, in this review, the various
types and different synthesis of modifying SBA-15 are discussed in detail towards its application in
biorefinery production. The catalytic activities in various operating conditions and reactions are also
reviewed for future reference and scope of studies.},
