Palm oil solid wastes consist of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. In this study, a single stage of acid hydrolysis process of palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB) for production of fermentable sugar was carried out under moderate temperature (45°C) and ambient pressure. The effect of four different process variables such as solid size, HCl concentration, solid percentage and temperature were in...

Solid goat’s milk soap is organic and beneficial for the health appearance of skin. One components in green tea known to display antibacterial activities epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC). In this study, effects solid containing 1%, 2%, 4% extract on growth Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, epidermidis were examined. The was characterized its organoleptic, pH, free fatty acid, alkal...

an efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes from the aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) in the presence of boric acid [bo3h3 or b(oh)3] as an inexpensive and reusable catalyst is described. the salient features of this methodology are: the elimination of corrosive liquid acids, high yields, simple methodology, short reacti...

silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (sbpdsa) was found as an efficient solid acid for the synthesis of coumarins. coumarin derivatives were obtained via the pechmann condensation reaction of phenols and β-keto-esters at 80 oc under solvent-free conditions. also, biscoumarins were obtained via the condensation of aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin in water at reflux conditions. t...

sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl]ester (saspspe) is employed as a recyclable catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. a good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of saspspe at room temperature with short rea...

The solid–solid reactions of electron-donor compounds, such as: barbituric acid (1a), thiobarbituric acid (1b), 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid (1c), phenol (1d) and resorcinol (1e) with diazotized o-nitroaniline (3), m-nitroaniline (4) and p-nitroaniline (5) catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (2) afford azo dyes by grinding in good yields. This new method totally avoids the use of inorganic acid...

a simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines c=n bond. deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚c. the salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...

the esterification of free fatty acids (ffa) with methanol is studied using sulfonated porous carbon (spc) as catalyst. in compare to the amorphous sugar catalyst and protonated nafion, the proposed catalyst shows stability and high efficient performance in biodiesel production. the highest initial rate of oleic acid conversion is obtained at catalyst loading of 1 mmol h+ and mole ratio of meoh...

Solid acid catalysts of MgO–Al2O3 mixed oxides containing B4O72−, HPO42−, Mo7O246−, MoO42−, WO42−, and SO42− were synthesized by anion exchange with Cl− located in the space between anionic layers hydrotalcite, followed heat treatment at 773 K. The distance hydroxide was expanded intercalation oxyanions larger than Cl−. interlayer confirmed IR spectroscopy. Acid sites generated on obtained elec...
