Applying Taguchi method to optimize the synthesis conditions of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposite for high-performance photodegradation of Congo red

In this work, ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO ternary nanocomposites were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The Taguchi method with the L9 orthogonal array was utilized to optimize the experimental conditions for the preparation of nanocomposites. The design has four factors, and each factor has three levels. The design factors of this study were calcination temperature, the aging time, […]

Nano-[SiO2@R-Im-SO3H][CF3COO]: an effectual catalyst for the production of bis-coumarins and N,N′-alkylidene bisamides

A novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterial namely nano-[SiO2@R-Im-SO3H][CF3COO] (NSRISC) was synthesized, and characterized using FT-IR, EDS, FE-SEM, TGA and XRD analyses. Thereafter, the solvent-free production of bis-coumarins (from aryl aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin) and N,N′-alkylidene bisamides (from aryl aldehydes and benzamide) was catalyzed by NSRISC. Bis-coumarins were produced in 86-97% at 100 ºC, and bisamides were obtained […]
