A simple and convenient one-pot synthetic route to directly prepare a self-reductive mesoporous copper-iron-silicate (CuO(x)-Fe-silicate)-based catalyst has been developed. The resultant catalyst is highly active and stable in methanol reforming without needing a pre-reduction procedure.

Using click chemistry for linkage, a ruthenium-based metathesis catalyst was efficiently immobilized on nanoporous silica. The heterogenized catalyst exhibited good activity and recyclability for various substrates. An interesting application was demonstrated for a continuous process using a circulating flow reactor.

This article deal with the parallel synthesis of a 96 product-sized library using a polymer-based copper catalyst that we developed which can be easily separated from the products by simple filtration. This gave us the opportunity to use this catalyst in an automated chemical synthesis station (Chemspeed ASW-2000). Studies and results about the preparation of the catalyst, its use in different ...

Biomass is a possible renewable alternative to fossil carbon sources. Today, many bio-resources can be converted to direct substitutes or suitable alternatives to fossil-based fuels and chemicals. However, catalyst deactivation under the harsh, often liquid-phase reaction conditions required for biomass treatment is a major obstacle to developing processes that can compete with the petrochemica...

A novel catalyst based on g-C3N4/activated carbon was prepared by adding CuCl2. The catalytic performance of the as-prepared catalyst was investigated in the acetylene hydrochlorination reaction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption, low temperature N2 adsorption/desorption (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller), and thermal gravity analysis showed that Cu-g-C3N4/AC significant...

In a fixed bed of porous catalyst pellets, there are developed two composition and temperature fields, one in the fluid phase and the other one at the level of solid pellets. The objective of this work is to evaluate, by numerical simulation, the unsteady state behavior of a catalyst pellet in typical operating conditions for methanol synthesis reactors. The process kinetics was described by th...

The present XANES study aims at elucidating the roles of carbon deposits and metal sulfides in the catalyst deactivation in steam reforming reactions with the presence of sulfur. CeO(2)-Al(2)O(3)-supported Ni and Rh-based catalysts were tested in steam reforming of liquid hydrocarbon fuel containing 350 ppm sulfur for H(2) production at 800 degrees C. The Rh catalyst demonstrated much better su...

The challenge in DNA-based asymmetric catalysis is to perform a reaction in the vicinity of the helix by incorporating a small-molecule catalyst anchored to the DNA in a covalent, dative, or non-covalent yet stable fashion in order to ensure high levels of enantio-discrimination. Here, we report the first generation of a DNA-based catalyst bound to a cellulose matrix. The chiral biomaterial is ...

in the present work, a titanium-based ziegler-natta catalyst was employed to synthesize ultra molecular weight polyethylene in a slurry medium. the effect of different parameters such as ethylene pressure, temperature, catalyst composition, and hydrogen pressure was studied. as the results indicate, increasing either [al]/[ti] ratio or temperature causes polymerization rate to go through a maxi...

A zinc-based hydroxyapatite catalyst in conjunction with a Lewis base proved to be efficient for the coupling of CO2 and epoxide in the absence of additional organic solvents under an atmospheric CO2 pressure; the work-up procedure is straightforward and the catalyst could be reused without loss of catalytic activity and selectivity.
