Hydrogen spillover over macroscopic distances was demonstrated and exploited in the design of two novel catalytic reactors for 1-butene isomerization. A dual-bed reactor containing separate zones of noble metal and bimetallic catalysts yielded activities up to 2.7 times greater than that of the noble metal alone. The noble metal catalyst contained palladium supported on graphitic carbon. The bi...

Artificial photosynthesis is a very attractive and a desirable way to solve the rising energy demand. In order to harvest energy directly from sunlight catalyst for oxygen reduction and evolution reaction are at the core of key renewable-energy technologies including fuel cells and water splitting. Herein, tungsten oxide-reduced graphene oxide (WO3-rGO), cobalt oxidereduced graphene oxide (Co3O...

The selective hydrogenation of benzofurans in the presence a heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst is reported. developed optimal catalytic material consists cobalt-cobalt oxide core–shell nanoparticles supported on silica, which has been prepared by immobilization and pyrolysis cobalt-DABCO-citric acid complex silica under argon at 800 °C. This novel allows for simple functionalized to 2,3-di...

Abstract In this present study, a novel method to fabricate bimetallic Fe-Co catalyst supported on waste silica was investigated for the photo-Fenton-like (PFL) degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye. The uniqueness work is preparation via fluidized-bed crystallization (FBC) process. Under optimum conditions initial pH 3.0, 3.0 mM H 2 O , and 1.0 g L -1 FBC-derived Fe-Co/SiO (fFCS), maximum res...

The commercial application of cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) suffers from catalyst deactivation. One the main deactivation mechanisms under industrial conditions is sintering. In this work, we explored role manganese oxide as a structural promoter against sintering in carbon nanofiber supported cobalt model catalyst. We employed situ Mössbauer emission spectroscopy to study gas fu...

A new cobalt catalyst is presented for the domino hydroformylation-reductive amination reaction of olefins. The optimal Co-tert-BuPy-Xantphos shows good to excellent linear-to-branched (n/iso) regioselectivity reactions aliphatic alkenes with aromatic amines under mild conditions. This system far more selective than traditional cobalt(I) catalysts and even better most known rhodium catalysts.

Transition metal-catalyzed C–C cross-coupling reactions are among the most powerful transformations known to organic chemists, and have received considerable attention over the last decades. For this reason, the development of mild chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective syntheses for the formation of carbon–carbon bonds catalyzed by metal complexes is of great interest. These methods have had a pr...

This highlight discusses developments in transition metal-catalysed alkene and alkyne hydroacylation reactions over the past three years. The discussion summarizes the development of new catalyst systems for alkene and alkyne hydroacylation and applications to the synthesis of important ketone building blocks. The highlight captures transition metal-catalysed alkene and alkyne hydroacylation at...

In a novel dual bed reactor Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was studied by using two diffrent cobalt catalysts. An alkali-promoted cobalt catalyst was used in the first bed of a fixed-bed reactor followed by a Rutenuim promoted cobalt catalyst in the second bed. The activity, product selectivity and accelerated deactivation of the system were assessed and compared with a conventional single bed r...

Among the studied (Pd), Co-, Ce-, Zr-oxide catalysts including catalysts deposited on structured cordierite support, the catalyst prepared by co-deposition of ceria and cobalt oxide is characterized by higher activity in reaction of reduction of nitrogen(I), (II) oxides (CO + NO, N2O + NO + CO) compared with samples prepared by successive deposition. This may be caused by an increase in both mo...
