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 […]
In this research, a novel approach for the epoxidation of alkene derivatives was constructed. Based on this fact, the appropriate ligand was provided from the reaction of hydrazine hydrate and 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol. Then, after preparation of the intermediate compound, the treatment of the pointed compound and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde in the presence of a few drops of glacial […]
Fe is an important element, used in soft magnetic materials (cores) in electrical and electronic devices and its concentration in e-waste is high. Thus, this study is aimed to recover Fe from the soft magnetic FeSiAl cores of spent printed circuit boards (PCBs). Here, the Fe-rich FeSiAl cores were identified, separated manually, and subjected to […]
A magnetic organic-inorganic hybrid of Fe3O4@SiO2-functionalized propylpiperazine-1,4-diium tungstate (A) nanoparticles with a spherical structure was prepared and completely characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA-DTA, and FT-IR spectral techniques. The magnetic hybrid was used in the oxidation of symmetrical sulfides to symmetrical sulfoxides under ambient conditions. The excellent yields of sulfoxides, easy operation, and recovery, magnetic properties […]
