Using of modified sugarcane bagasse as a green and inexpensive catalyst for the synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-8-one derivatives

Chemical grafting of 3-aminipropyl triethoxysilane to carbonized bagasse and acidification of amino groups leads us to introduce a new, efficient and green solid acid catalyst. We used the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), elemental-mapping and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) for the characterization of […]

Steam reforming of propane over Ni-K/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst in fluidized- and fixed-bed reactors under low steam to propane ratio

Fluidized bed was employed to investigate propane steam reforming over Ni-K/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TG/DTA, and N2 adsorption-desorption tests. Effects of promoters, space velocity, temperature, and steam/propane (S/C) ratio on propane conversion, H2 yield, H2/CO ratio, and stability were studied and discussed. The experiments were carried out under conditions which […]

Sol-gel synthesis of nanoporous γ-alumina using TX-100 or gelatin/TX-100 mixture as effective catalysts for dehydration of alcohols

In this study, the nanoporous γ-alumina catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method using hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide in the presence of TX-100 or gelatin/TX-100 mixture. Catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, BET-BJH and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. To investigate reactivity and selectivity of the synthesized catalysts, dehydration reaction of 2-octanol was carried out in […]

The Study of Photocatalytic Degradation Mechanism under Visible Light Irradiation on BiOBr/Ag Nanocomposite

Due to the pollution of dyeing and textile industry wastewaters in different colors and the need to remove these pollutants from the wastewaters, it is necessary to study and develop effective and efficient technology solutions required. To remove dye from aqueous solutions, photodegradation is employed as an effectively simple way. Thus, the BiOBr photocatalyst was […]

Magnesium-iron bimetal oxides as an effective magnetized solid-base catalyst for the synthesis of substituted 2-aminthiophenes

< p>Mg-Fe bi-metal oxide was prepared and utilized as a magnetized renewable solid base catalyst for formation of 2-aminothiophenes by means of Gewald’s reaction. The prepared heterogeneous basic solid catalyst can be separated by a magnet and reused without considerable wastage in this activity. The structure of the aforementioned magnetized basic nano-catalyst was studied by […]

n-Octyl-3-methylpipyridinium bromide ([OMePPy]+Br-): novel ionic liquid to promote green synthesis of polycyclic fused acridines

In this research, various polycyclic fused acridines were synthesized via the highly efficient and green one-step four-component reaction between isatins, dimedone, various amines, and dimethylacetylenedicarboxylates (DMAD/DEAD) in the presence of n-octyl-3-methylpipyridinium bromide ([OMePPy]+Br–) as a newly prepared ionic liquid, in absolute green situations at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The ionic liquid characterized by 1H […]

Meticulous Review on Potential Nano–Sized Catalysts for Air and Water Purifiers

This review focuses on the usage of nano–sized catalysts in eco–remedial for polluted air and water. The metal nanomaterials, metal oxide-based nano-photocatalysts, and non-metallic nanomaterials have the proficiency for inactivating viruses and purifying air. These nano catalysts have more active sites at their surface in comparison with normal materials and hence more effective catalysts. In […]

Magnetic Pomegranate Peel Extracts Modified Iron Oxide Nanocatalyst for Green and Selective Oxidation of Benzyl alcohols

The preparation and application of novel nanocatalysts for oxidation reaction via a simple, effective, green method remains a challenge; thus, in this study, a facile and eco-friendly approach is suggested to fabricate pomegranate peel extract (PPE) functionalized on silicate-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-PPE). The physicochemical characteristics of the magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2-PPE nanocomposite were evaluated using Fourier-transform infrared […]
