Optimizing the vacuum gas oil hydrocracking process temperature in the presence of Ni-Mo/γ-Al2O3-SiO2 catalyst

A suitable model for predicting the product quality of vacuum gas oil (VGO) catalytic hydrocracking is developed. Data were obtained using an experimental catalytic hydrocracking reactor loaded with the Ni-Mo/Al2O3-SiO2 catalyst. A set of experimental runs was conducted under various operating temperatures from 380 to 450 ℃. Three distribution models were used to develop the […]

Non-oxidative conversion of methane to aromatics over modified zeolite catalysts by transitional metals

The activity of different transitional metals over modified H-ZSM-5 catalysts for methane conversion to aromatics was compared. The first group of catalysts was Mo-impregnated H-ZSM-5 zeolites with 1, 3 and 6 wt% of Mo. The second group was M(3 wt%)- impregnated H-ZSM-5 (M: Ag, Cd, Cr, Mo, Zn and Mn). The catalytic activity of the […]

Nano-peanut shell-OSO3H: Green and natural-based renewable nanocatalyst for one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrano[3,2-b]chromenedione derivatives

Nano-peanut shell‑OSO3H nanoparticles were simply prepared and characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and thermal analysis techniques (TGA/DTG). The catalytic activity of nano-peanut shell‑OSO3H was studied in the synthesis of biologically important 4H-pyran derivatives. The reaction involves the use of Kojic […]

Synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives catalyzed by Fe (III)@graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite via one-pot multi-component reaction

Fe (III) supported graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite was synthesized by impregnation of FeCl3 with g- C3N4 (Fe (III)@g-C3N4). Then, the synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives was carried out in the presence of Fe (III) @ graphitic carbon nitride nanocompositevia the multi-component reaction of malononitrile, isatins, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in green media (ethanol/water (1:1)) under reflux conditions […]

Acacia concinna pod catalyzed synthesis of 2-arylbenzothia/(oxa)zole derivatives

The expeditious synthesis of 2-aryl-benzothia/(oxa)zoles was carried out by the condensation of 2-aminothiophenol/2-aminophenol and diverse aryl aldehydes in presence of Acacia concinna as a biocatalyst under microwave irradiation. The catalytic process is associated with excellent yields, greener reaction conditions and the environmentally friendly microwave technique which are the striking features of the present protocol.

Nano-SiO2/hexamethylenetetramine promoted synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c] pyrazoles under solvent-free conditions

In this study, the nano-SiO2/hexamethylenetetramine as a new basic heterogeneous nanocatalyst was prepared and used for the synthesis of pyranopyrazole via the four-component reaction. Various aldehydes, hydrazine hydrate, ethyl acetoacetate and malononitrile were reacted at room temperature under solvent-free and grinding conditions. The morphology and structure of nano-catalyst were investigated by techniques such as FT-IR […]
