Platinum extraction from different secondary sources has been experimentally tested by many researchers. In this article, dissolution of platinum in aqua-regia solution from two types of spent catalysts (reforming and nitric acid production) was kinetically studied. A variety of kinetic models for heterogeneous solid-liquid reactions, including homogeneous diffusion model, shrinking core model,...

The synthesis of magnetically separable quasi-homogeneous base catalyst and heterogeneous base catalyst is described. The quasi-homogeneous catalyst is achieved by supporting silane monomers functionalized with different amine groups directly on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles. The heterogeneous catalyst is prepared via a sol-gel process in which silane monomers containing different amin...

Acid-base solid catalysts synthesized with structurally controlled uniform active sites can lead to unique catalysis. In this study, a CePO4 catalyst was synthesized using a hydrothermal method and found to exhibit high catalytic performance for the chemoselective acetalization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with alcohols, in sharp contrast to other homogeneous and heterogeneous acid and/or base ca...

The meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinate of manganese(III) chloride [Mn-(TDCPPS)Cl] biomimetic catalyst immobilized on spacer-functionalized kaolinite clay mineral was employed in the oxidative coupling reaction of a dissolved humic acid (HA) suprastructure with either chemical (H2O2) or UV-light oxidation. The changes in molecular size of humic matter subjected to catalyzed o...

in the present work, highly efficient oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by moo2(acac)2 supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes, mwcnts, modified with 1,2-diaminobenzene (dab) and 2-aminophenol (ap), at room temperature are reported. the effects of various parameters such as reaction time, solvent, catalyst amount, oxidant, etc, were studied. these heterogenized catalysts showed high activity in ...
