this paper reports results of a study regarding the activities of nano structure mn/γ-al2o3 and γ-al2o3 catalysts for oxidation of 2-propanol (as a model of volatile organic compound). nanostructure of catalysts was revealed using xrd, sem and tem techniques. catalytic studies were carried out in u-shaped packed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and at the reaction temperature of 150- 500°...

the catalytic oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid in the liquid phase has been studied in an un-stirred tank reactor. low concentration of acetic acid was added in order to increase the solubility of the catalyst in toluene. the dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of toluene catalyst and oxygen pressure was studied. it has been suggested that liquid phase oxidation of tolue...

Ag-based catalysts with different supports (TiO2, Al2O3 and CeO2) were prepared by impregnation method and subsequently tested for the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) at low temperature. The Ag/TiO2 catalyst showed the distinctive catalytic performance, achieving the complete HCHO conversion at around 95 °C. In contrast, the Ag/Al2O3 and Ag/CeO2 catalysts displayed much lower activit...

This study introduces new methods of screening for and tuning chiral space and in so doing identifies a promising set of chiral ligands for asymmetric synthesis. The carbafructopyranosyl-1,2-diamine(s) and salens constructed therefrom are particularly compelling. It is shown that by removing the native anomeric effect in this ligand family, one can tune chiral ligand shape and improve chiral bi...

The Povarov reaction of p-anisidine, cinnamaldehyde and methacrolein dimethylhydrazone afforded a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivative bearing 2-styryl, 4-methyl 4-dimethylhydrazono substituents in fully diastereoselective fashion. This is the first example combination type I aza-vinylogous II vinylogous same process.

a highly sensitive differential pulse polarographic (dpp) method has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of osmium, based on the catalytic effect of osmium (viii) on the oxidation of pyrogallol red (pgr) by sodium bromate at ph 7.00 and 25.0 0.1 ? c. the reaction rate was monitored by measuring the differential pulse cathodic current of the oxidation product of pgr and bromate...

a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determinationof vanadium (iv). the method is based on the catalytic effect of v (iv) on the oxidation of alkali blue bypotassium bromate at ph 4. the rate of decrease in the absorbance of alkali blue (at 572 nm) wasproportional to the concentration of v (iv) in the range of 100-6000 ng ml-1. the detection limit wa...
