Optimization of main parameters affecting activity and octane number produced from catalytic isomerization of n-heptane using response surface methodology

In this work, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was investigated by applying the Design of the Experiment in normal heptane isomerization. The design was guided to three surface responses on the dependency of normal heptane conversion, isomerization selectivity, and research octane number on the reaction temperature (200 – 350 °C), the weight percentage of protonated […]

Synthesis and Catalytic Performance of Ni/Silica Pillared Clay on HDPE Plastic Hydrocracking to Produce Liquid Hydrocarbons as Fuel

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, […]

Fe3O4 Nanoparticles from FeSiAl Alloy of Spent Printed Circuit Boards and its Application in Dye Degradation

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 […]

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 […]

Manganese porphyrin supported on activated carbon as a new catalyst for epoxidation of alkenes with hydrogen peroxide

The Manganese complex of meso-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin was immobilized onto the surface of functionalized activated carbon and used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of different alkenes. The heterogenized catalyst has been fully characterized using Ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and atomic absorption spectroscopies as well as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and […]

The use of recyclable magnetic nanocatalyst Fe3O4@SiO2-(CH2)3-Pyridine-2-(1H)-tetrazole-Cu(II) in the synthesis of bis-coumarin derivatives under green conditions

In the present work, first, magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) were synthesized, and a layer of silica was placed on the magnetite nanoparticles through the reaction with TEOS. Next, the pyridine-2-(1H)-tetrazole ligand was fixed on the core-shell magnetite nanoparticles, and finally, the nanocatalyst copper complex was synthesized. The synthesized copper (II) complex of magnetic nanocatalyst was identified […]

Fabrication of a novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanocatalyst and its application for the synthesis of bis(pyrazolyl)methanes

A novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterial was fabricated by anchoring an organic constituent possessing a 4,4′-bipyridine framework to nano-silica (as an inorganic constituent). The nanomaterial, namely 1-(Si-pr)-[4,4′-bipyridine]-1,1ʹ-diium dihydrogen phosphate anchored to nano-silica (SPBDS), was characterized by EDS, elemental mapping, FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and TG analyses. Thereafter, bis(pyrazolyl)methanes were successfully constructed through the solvent-free reaction of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one […]

MgO support mediated enhancement of La2BMnO6 (B = Co, Ni) perovskite oxide in catalytic combustion of propane

Perovskite oxides possessing high stability and composition adjustability are effective in many applications. The La2BMnO6 (B=Co, Ni) double perovskite oxides were synthesized using the sol-gel method and deposited on MgO support (loading = 10, 20, and 30 wt. %) using a mechanical mixing method by an ultrasonic device. The elaborated samples were investigated for application […]
