A high-density sulfonic acid polymer, grafted onto a carrier surface, was synthesized from the acid form of vinylsulfonic acid monomer, and its catalytic activity as a new class of heterogeneous acid catalyst demonstrated in esterification reactions.

Nanosize metallic particles have long been recognized as important heterogeneous catalytic materials. Recent studies show that the atomic characteristics of metallic nanoparticles, including particle size, shape and surface composition, are critical to catalytic activity and selectivity. It has been proven that the catalytic activities of noble metals are highly dependent on their surface struc...

This work reports supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) of organic pollutants in industrial wastewater the absence and presence catalysts. To increase efficiency process, SCWO compounds was performed various iron- manganese-containing heterogeneous catalysts (Fe-Ac, Fe-OH, Mn-Al). The catalytic non-catalytic from PJSC “Nizhnekamskneftekhim”, generated epoxidation propylene with ethylbenzene hydr...

A porous homochiral MOF was constructed from a serine derivate ligand bridged and chelated copper atom subunit, which can expand one chiral center into multitopic homochiral centers to systematically tune the heterogeneous catalytic properties.

Chiral catalysis is of great industrial interest for the production of enantiomerically pure compounds. Although many homogeneous chiral catalysts have been developed, the difficulty of the product purification and catalyst recycle is one of the obstacles of the practical applications. The design and synthesis of efficient and recyclable heterogeneous chiral catalysts remain the challenges and ...

A sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES)/polyethersulfone (PES) blend catalytic membrane was prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the esterification of the acidified oil (acid value 153 mg KOH/g) with methanol for producing biodiesel. The results showed that the free fatty acids conversion reached 97.6% using SPES/PES catalytic membrane under the optimal esterification conditions. Meanw...

[reaction: see text] A highly selective catalytic reductive isomerization reaction is described. The extremely mild and neutral reaction conditions (10% Pd/C, H2, and MeOH at 0 degrees C) tolerate a wide range of functional groups and generally result in excellent yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction does not proceed via a stepwise reduction/elimination sequence or a pi-allylp...

The "exploding" flask demonstration presents a well-known illustration of heterogeneous catalyzed methanol oxidation. We find that for the same vapor pressure, the demonstration also works for all primary and secondary alcohols up to butanol but not for a tertiary alcohol. Also, we show that the demonstration works for a large range of transition metal catalysts. Hence, this demonstration, whic...

Heterogeneous catalysis and their application in industrial-scale organic synthesis of fine chemicals are greatly facilitated by catalysis and further on by catalyst recovery and recycles to fits most “principles of green chemistry. In acid media, terpenoids generally undergoes various transformations. The terpenoid transformations include various liquid Bronsted and Lewis Acids, Acid clays, He...

Supported gold nanoparticles have recently been shown to possess intriguing catalytic activity for hydrogenation reactions, particularly for selective hydrogenation reactions. However, fundamental studies that can provide insight into the reaction mechanisms responsible for this activity have been largely lacking. In this tutorial review, we highlight several recent model experiments and theore...
