A Simple and environmentally friendly  procedure for the one-pot multi-component synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives has been developed by one pot three component reaction of various aldehydes, β-dicarbonyl, and urea in the presence of catalytic amount of tris (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium) gadolinium hexachloride [P6,6,6,14]3 [GdCl6] as a solid acid catalyst without any ad...

Huge efforts have been carried out in recent years in order to develop an alternative fuel from renewable resources, such as biodiesel fuel. Therefore, the use of cooking oil as raw material is a very interesting alternative for the production of biodiesel. In this work, waste frying oil was used as raw material for enzymatic biodiesel production. Moreover, this study analyzes the influence of ...

Nitrogen modified cobalt catalysts supported on carbon were prepared by pyrolysis of the mixture generated from cobalt(II) acetate in aqueous solution of melamine or waste melamine resins, which are widely used as industrial polymers. The obtained nanostructured materials catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes with formic acid in the absence of base. The optimal Co/Melamine2@C-70...

The world's oil reserves are running low, which makes the government also implement a mandatory B30 policy starting in early 2020. With this policy, it is necessary to develop energy by utilizing renewable such as vegetable that can be converted into biodiesel. Waste cooking one of oils has potential processed biodiesel because use waste Indonesia still not developed. In study, we report yield ...

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines consisting of the alkyl monoesters of fatty acids from vegetable oils or animal fats. Most of the biodiesel that is currently made uses soybean oil, methanol, and an alkaline catalyst. The high value of soybean oil as a food product makes production of a cost–effective fuel very challenging. However, there are large amounts of low–cost oils an...

This study proposes an innovative biodiesel technology based on heat-integrated reactive absorption. Rigorous simulations embedding experimental results were performed in AspenTech AspenONE engineering suite to design this novel process and evaluate the technical and economical feasibility. The main results are given for a plant producing 10 ktpy biodiesel from waste vegetable oil with high fre...

This article summarizes and reviews recent progress in the development of catalysts for the ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides. The copolymerization is an interesting method to add value to carbon dioxide, including from waste sources, and to reduce pollution associated with commodity polymer manufacture. The selection of the catalyst is of critical importance to contr...
