Dehydration of glycerol was performed over heteropoly acids (HPA), viz., silicotungstic acid (H-SiW), phosphotungstic acid (H-PW), and phosphomolybdic acid (H-PMo), supported high surface area γ-alumina (HSAI-S25) catalysts. Various physico-chemical studies of these supported catalysts indicate high dispersion of the active (HPA) species on the support surface. It was observed that the catalyst...

  In this study changes in fatty acids profile during frozen storage at -18°C of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum), caught from the Persian Gulf (Bandar Abbas) were studied. Changes in saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), EPA+DHA/C16, n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA (n-3/n-6) and polyunsaturated fatty acids /saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) were i...

The present study investigates modified Mo/V/W mixed oxides as a possible alternative for state of the art heteropoly acid catalysts (HPA) in partial oxidation methacrolein (MAC) to methacrylic (MAA). Even though HPAs show an excellent activity and MAA selectivity, their long-term stability is unsatisfying, rendering catalyst inoperable after runtimes roughly 6 months. consisting M1 hexagonal (...
