The current research work was mainly focused on the antibacterial performance of Mn/Mg co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles in presence of Gemini surfactant (GS). Mn, Mg co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method and calcined at 450 0C. The characterization results reveal that among all the co-doped TiO2 and surfactant encapsulated TiO2 nanoparticles, the MMT5-GS2 Nano […]
ZnO nano particles and Cu modified ZnO nano composites have been prepared by simple, facile hydrothermal approach. The novelty of this work was the use of aqueous methanolic solution (50:50 ratio) as the solvent of reaction, while zinc chloride was used as the precursor of ZnO NPs and Cu- modified ZnO nano composites. XRD results […]
Densely functionalized 3,4-dihydropyridones were synthesized by a four-component reaction of Meldrumʼs acid, ethyl acetoacetate, ammonium acetate, and proper aromatic aldehydes in the presence of novel organic-inorganic cobalt incorporated magnetic nanocatalyst (γ-Fe2O3@HAp/Co(II)) using ethanol as a green solvent at reflux condition. This new synthetic method provided the target compounds in a high yield (70-95%) and lower […]
In this study, the preparation of layered double hydroxide-metal oxide (ZnAl-ZnO, MgAl-ZnO, and NiAl-ZnO) was successful. The characterization of the catalyst used XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis. The catalyst shows high oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene. The percentage conversion of dibenzothiophene on ZnAl-ZnO, MgAl-ZnO, and NiAl-ZnO was 99.38%, 99.34%, and 99.90%, respectively. The acidities of ZnAl-ZnO, […]
Both metal oxides, ceria (CeO2) and stania (SnO2) are prepared by precipitation technique using ammonia solution (1:1) and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption (for the specific surface area determination, SBET) and used in the photodegradation of Tenoxicam (TEN) antibiotics by using ultraviolet irradiation in presence […]
Synthesis of Ni/SiPILC (Silica Pillared Clay) catalyst based on light fraction clay for hydrocracking of High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastics into liquid fuels has been carried out. The SiPILC was synthesized using CTAB and TEOS by varying the TEOS/clay mole ratio. The Ni metal was impregnated on the SiPILC with a variation of 2, 4, 6, […]
The development of high-performance hydrotreating catalysts has been a challenging pursuit within the catalyst research field. In this study, activated carbon was synthesized chemically, utilizing oxygen gas as the activator and Merbau wood as the precursor. Subsequently, the activated carbon was impregnated with both mono (Ni, Pt, Pd) and bimetallic (NiPt) species. Physical activation employing […]
Synthesis of organic compounds using some natural compounds as catalysts has gained more attention in recent decades. With respect to the importance of these procedures, the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]chromene and pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives using vitamin B12 by a one-pot reaction of malononitrile, benzaldehydes and 4-hydroxycumarine or 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid is reported.
The selective oxidation of olefins is a key academic and industrial research challenge. Herein, silver was supported on mesoporous silica through a facile synthesis procedure, and characterized using various technics such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM, BET, and EDX. This efficient separable agent alongside aqueous H2O2 was applied to the oxidation of various olefines (1-octen, 1-hexene, […]
The 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and methylene blue (MB) are commonly used in many industries and remain in the industrial effluent. They have an adverse effect on the environment if not treated properly. Therefore, it is essential to develop a convenient method to remove such toxic chemicals from wastewater. Here, Ag/Ag2O nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from AgNO3 […]
