Synthesis of SO4/ZrO2 Catalyst and its Application in the Conversion of Ethanol to Diethyl Ether

SO4/ZrO2 heterogeneous acid catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation method from ZrO2 precursor involved variations in H2SO4 concentration (0.5; 1.0; 1.5 M) and calcination temperature (400, 500, 600 ℃) to yield catalyst with the highest acidity value. The catalysts produced were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive […]

Effect of surfactant on structural and optical properties of V2O5 nanocrystals as a potential catalyst for photodegradation

An anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactant-assisted wet chemical method was used to synthesize vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanocrystals. XRD, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, UV-Vis, and PL techniques were used to characterize the V2O5 nanocrystals. The formation of V2O5 nanocrystals is confirmed by the experimental results. The addition of surfactants had a significant effect on the morphology, crystallinity, […]

Preparation and Characterization of WO3 Nanosheets and Au/WO3 Nanocomposite for Rabid Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye

The sol-gel technique is employed for the synthesis of tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanosheets. The Au/WO3 nanocomposite is prepared using laser ablation employing an Nd-YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1064 nm and utilizing gold metal. The SEM images demonstrate that WO3 was formed as nanosheets with a thickness between 36nm and 80nm.  X-ray diffraction […]

Doping TiO2 by Cr from tannery wastewater for improving its activity under visible light in the dye degradation

This paper deals with the comparison of the Cr (III) dopant from tannery wastewater to the Cr (III) from the pure salt solution on the character and activity of TiO2. The doping was conducted by hydrothermal method, and the Cr-doped TiO2 prepared was characterized by UV specular reflectance (SRUV), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence […]

Magnetically recoverable nano-crystalline NiFe2O4 catalyzed green and sustainable synthesis of functionalized pyrano-pyrazol, pyrano-coumarin, and 4H-chromene derivatives

Synthesis of pyrano-pyrazol, pyrano-coumarin, and 4H-chromene derivatives has been achieved by the multicomponent reaction of substituted 1,3-diketo compounds, dialkyl acetylene dicarboxylates and alkyl nitrile derivatives in presence of nano-NiFe2O4. The nano-NiFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticle was prepared by a simple and effective method and characterized by using XRD, HRTEM images, IR, and VSM studies. The green, convenient, […]

Synthesis of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol derivatives in water catalyzed by silver ions immobilized on the magnetic cross-linked chitosan

In this work, chitosan biopolymer was cross-linked by starch oxide through the covalent bond formation between amine groups of chitosan and aldehyde functional of oxidized starch. A magnetic bio-support was obtained due to the treatment of the produced hybrid biopolymer with iron oxide nanoparticles. As a result of exposing of silver nitrate salt to magnetic […]

Mild Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of some Polythioester Polymers Catalyzed by Cetrimide Ionic Liquid as a Green and Eco-Friendly Phase-Transfer Catalyst

In this research, we develop and prepare some of the polymers based on polythioesters using cetrimide as an ionic liquid and phase transfer catalyst. All of the polymers were prepared through the reaction of 5,5′-methylenebis (1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol) with five types of diacyl chloride derivatives in the presence of cetrimide as phase transfer catalyst in the mixture […]

La2O3 as a very effective double‌-functional catalyst for the production of 2-amino-4-aryl-4H-pyrans and Pyrazolopyranopyrimidines

Lanthanum (III) oxide (La2O3) was applied as an efficient bifunctional catalyst to develop a new methodology in the production of 2-amino-4-aryl-4H-pyrans and pyrazolopyranopyrimidines in the absence of solvent. In both synthetic protocol, due to the dual functionality of lanthanum­ (III) oxide (i.e. having basic and acidic Lewis sites), it was very useful and general, and […]
