The CO2 (dry) reforming of hydrocarbons offers an opportunity to convert greenhouse gases into synthesis gas, which can further transform various valued products. Here we explore the influence Rh particle size and support on propane methane. To that end, nanoparticles with controlled sizes varying from 1.6-8.0 nm were synthesized following a polyol reduction method then dispersed three differen...

This paper reviews various types of heterogeneous acid-base catalysts for fragrances preparation. Catalytic activities of the various types of heterogeneous acid and base catalysts in fragrances preparation, i.e. nonzeolitic, zeolitic, and mesoporous molecular sieves, have been reported. Generally, heterogeneous acid catalysts are more commonly used in fragrance synthesis as compared to heterog...

Co-processing of n-hexadecane with lignin derived isoeugenol as a model compound was investigated in this work using low-cost mono- and bimetallic iron nickel supported on H-Y-5.1 zeolite. Different Fe-Ni metal ratios the catalyst led to different reaction rates processes product distribution. The presence just 0.26 wt% mixture made hydroisomerization-hydrocracking latter two-fold less active. ...

Sud, please find attached a draft writing on the subject (Word 5.1 format). I guess the next process is to: reflect your comments on the draft, run through a quick editing, and prepare a final copy in the form of a letter from me to you??! Hee

Catalysts for the oxidation of H2O are an integral component of solar energy to fuel conversion technologies. Although catalysts based on scarce and precious metals have been recognized as efficient catalysts for H2O oxidation, catalysts composed of inexpensive and earth-abundant element(s) are essential for realizing economically viable energy conversion technologies. This Perspective summariz...

The epoxidation reaction using heterogeneous solid catalysts with H2O2 as oxidants are environmentally friendly routes to produce extensively useful epoxides which are traditionally obtained from capital-intensive or environmentally polluted processes. In this paper, various types of solid catalysts for the epoxidation of olefins with H2O2 as oxidants are reviewed. The efficient catalysts repor...

Mesoporous and conventional Fe-containing ZSM-5 catalysts (0.5–8 wt% Fe) were prepared using a simple impregnation method and tested in NO selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with NH3. It was found that mesoporous Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts exhibit higher SCR activities than comparable conventional catalysts. Furthermore, conventional Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts have maximum activity at ~ 2.5 wt% Fe while for t...

Chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) bimetallic catalysts are prepared by the introduction of vanadium into the Phillips catalyst which is one of the most significant industrial ethylene polymerization catalysts for tuning the Phillips catalyst performances and improving polyethylene properties. In the present work, titanium species were introduced into the fluorine-modified chromium-vanadium bimetallic ca...
