the commercial profile of the amoco cd mgcl2 supported polypropylene catalyst is presented. the development, the unique method of preparation/production, with emphasis on particle morphology, and the parameters affecting particle size (ps), particle size distribution (psd), and particle shape are discussed in detail. the outstanding performance of the catalyst, tailoredmade for the amoco-chisso...

Two late transition metal catalysts based on 2,6-bis(imino)pyridine iron(II) were synthesized by introducing methyl substitution (catalyst A) and t-Butyl substitution (catalyst B) at the ortho position of the aryl rings of the ligand. Comparative ethylene polymerizations using the catalysts showed quiet different behaviors. The activity of catalyst A was higher than that of catalyst B in all of...

In this study, TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method using highly concentrated NaOH solutions varying from 6 to 12 M at 180 °C for 48 h. The effects of the NaOH concentration and the TNT crystal structure on the performance for methanol oxidation were investigated to determine the best catalyst support for Pt-based catalysts. The results showed that TNTs produced with...

Synthesize carbon-based metal-free catalysts and • carbon-composite catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Optimize catalytic active reaction sites as a function • of carbon support, surface oxygen groups, nitrogen content, surface modifiers, pyrolysis temperature, porosity, and the concentration of the non-metallic additive “X” in the catalyst matrix. Evaluate catalyst stability under ...

An alternative approach to catalyst development, which led to a Pd catalyst based on two biarylphosphine ligands for C-N cross-coupling reactions, is reported. By effectively being able to take the form of multiple catalysts this system manifests the best properties that catalysts based on either of the two ligands exhibit separately and displays the highest reactivity and substrate scope of an...

poly (n-bromosuccinimide) (pnbs) as a mild, efficient, non-acidic, polymeric and heterogeneous catalyst was applied for simple conversion of epoxides into thiiranes by treatment with kscn or (nh2)2cs at room temperature. aliphatic and aromatic epoxides converted into their corresponding thiiranes under mild conditions. all reactions proceeded in short reaction times and afforded the correspondi...

The chemical looping reforming (CLR) process, which utilizes a transition metal oxide based redox catalyst to partially oxidize methane to syngas, represents a potentially efficient approach for methane valorization. The CLR process inherently avoids costly cryogenic air separation by replacing gaseous oxygen with regenerable ionic oxygen (O(2-)) from the catalyst lattice. Our recent studies sh...

Abstract A novel basic ionic liquid based on imidazolium cation is designed, synthesized and successfully used as a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 4-Oxo-6-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives. The remarkable features of this new catalyst are its ethyleneoxy bridge which participates in dissolving organic compound in the ionic liquid and its strong base co...
