Fluidized bed photoreactor for the removal of acetaminophen and pyridine using Al-doped TiO2 supported on alumina

In this investigation, a fluidized bed photocatalytic reaction system was designed to eliminate emerging contaminants: acetaminophen and pyridine in water. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) doped with aluminum (Al3+) using the photo-deposition technique was used as a catalyst and supported on alumina beads (Al2O3). The catalyst´s doping was carried out by photo deposition with aluminum particles. The […]

CO Hydrogenation over functionalized AlMCM-41 materials and ZSM-11/5 zeolites as catalysts

We studied the reaction in which carbon monoxide is converted to hydrocarbons, and investigated the behaviors and the combination system of catalysts exchanged with platinum and ammonium ions. Experiments were conducted at 1.2 MPa, 523K, and CO/H2=1 ratio. The structure and the texture of the catalysts, assessed by XRD, BET/BJH, and SEM, exhibited a microporosity […]

A glassy carbon electrode modified with boron-doped graphene oxide/ polyaspartic acid for electrochemical determination of oxazepam

In this study, the electrochemical determination of oxazepam in plasma samples was studied. The composite of graphene oxide/boron (B-RGO) was synthesized via the hydrothermal method and it was cast on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The polyaspartic acid (poly(ASP)) was deposited on the B-RGO by electropolymerization to prepare the modified electrode named B-RGO/ poly(ASP)|GCE. The […]

One-pot, Three Component, and Green Synthesis of 2-(Aryl)-3-((2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethyl)amino)imidazolidin-4-one Derivatives using Graphene Oxide Nanosheets under Microwave Irradiation: A Comparison Study Between One-pot and Step by Step Synthesis

In this study, two different methods were described for the synthesis of 2-(aryl)-3-((2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethyl)amino)imidazolidin-4-one derivatives under microwave irradiation. The first method was step by step method. In step by step method, 3-(2-hydrazinylacetyl)-2H-chromen-2-one and aromatic aldehydes in 1 mL of absolute ethanol were irradiated with appropriate power within 3-10 min to obtain imine products. Then, the imine […]
