Levulinic acid (LA) is a valuable renewable resource that can serve as a versatile biomass-derived building block for the synthesis of organic chemicals, providing a sustainable alternative to depleting fossil fuel resources. Catalytic esterification of LA with alcohol yields levulinate esters, which find numerous applications including perfumes and fuel additives. In this study, the performance […]
In this work, an efficient method for the construction of N-amino-2-pyridone analogs was performed using the condensation of aldehyde, malononitrile and cyanoacetohydrazide through Fe3O4@aminopropyltriethoxysilane-terephthaldehyde-melamine (Fe3O4@APTES-TA-MA) as an efficient recyclable magnetic covalent organic framework nanocatalyst in ethanol at reflux conditions. Fe3O4@APTES-TA-MA was characterized via FT-IR, EDS, SEM, TEM, VSM, and TGA methods. The average size of […]
One of the industries that uses huge volumes of water is the textile sector, which generates a lot of wastewaters. Electrocoagulation (EC), an environmentally friendly method, has been utilized to remediate textile dyeing effluent. The goal of this work is to compare the catalytic activity of Ti with Al using two sets of experiments (Al-Ti, […]
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using the co-deposition method. They were coated with a silica layer through a sol-gel process and treated with dodecyl sulfate (DS) and dodecanol (DO). XRD, SEM, VSM, TGA, BET, and FTIR analysis were employed to analyze these materials. SEM showed that the particles are spherical with good monodispersity. TGA- DTG […]
In the past decade, numerous longitudinal studies have explored green chemistry and its applications in nanoparticle synthesis due to the toxicity associated with traditional methods. Among the various techniques for nanoparticle synthesis, the use of plant extracts in green synthesis has recently gained significant popularity. Green methods are particularly suitable for large-scale nanoparticle synthesis, offering […]
In this paper, Ag/ZnO/HZSM-5ternary nanocomposites with different Ag loadings were prepared by the photo precipitation method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM and TEM. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO/HZSM-5 for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) degradation was increased by silver doping. Effects of various parameters such as the initial concentration of 4-NP, pH and Ag […]
A novel and cost-effective catalyst for synthesis of 2,3′-dihydroquinazolin-4-(1H)-ones was developed utilizing a combined nanocomposite obtained from bonding TiCl3 to hydroxyl groups of nanofibrillated cellulose as a green and inexpensive support.The structure of the catalyst was investigated using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques […]
Pyridinium based ionic liquids derived from β-picoline and n-alkylbromides were synthesized by a simple procedure at ambient temperature and then characterized. These neutral ionic liquids were investigated for their dual role as the solvent and promoter for the selective synthesis of a series of N-monomethylanilines using dimethylcarbonate as the methylating agent. A solvent free green […]

The interaction in the system of SnO2 and h-MoO3 prepared by their joint mechanical activation in a roller-ring vibratory mill was investigated. A series of catalysts was prepared with SnO2: h-MoO3 molar ratio 1:1; 1:2.3; 2.3:1 and 5.7:1. The catalysts were characterized by various techniques including X-ray phase, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and synchronous thermal analysis, […]
