Rhodamine B (RhB) is a water-soluble fluorescent dye that is often used to determine flux and flow direction in biotechnological and environmental applications. In the current research, RhB in soluble (termed free) and virus-bound (termed nano-bound) forms was used as an efficiency indicator for three environmental processes. The degradation of free and nano-bound RhB by (i) direct UV photolysi...

this research evaluates the efficiency of nanosized zno in the catalytic ozonation of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol and determines the effect of ph on heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. the combined use of ozone and zno catalyst leads to conversion of 98% 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol during 5 min. in addition, it was found that in zno catalytic ozonation, the degradation efficiency of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol...

Pearlman's catalyst, nominally Pd(OH)2/C, is widely used as for hydrogenation reactions and C-C coupling reactions. Contrary to the accepted view, we show that Pearlman's catalyst as prepared and after drying consists of carbon supported (mostly) nano-particulate hydrous palladium oxide capped with a monolayer of hydroxyls hydrogen-bonded to a few layers of water: a core-shell structure of C/Pd...

In this work, palladium (II) chloride-supported-N-(dipyridine-2-ylmethyl)-3-(silica-magnetite)propan-1-amine (nano-Fe3O4@SiO2@dipy@PdCl2) as a new nanostructured catalyst was prepared and its structure completely studied by different techniques and then successfully tested on Heck and Suzuki reactions.

dehydration method by modifies the commercial MgO. The prepared MgO had been investigated as a heterogeneous base catalyst for transesterification process for biodiesel production using palm oil. TGA, FT-IR and XRD results obtained from this study lie each other and proved in the formation of nano MgO from decomposition of Mg(OH) 2. This study proved that the prepared nano MgO was a better base...

 In this work, Fe/TiO2 nanostructured catalyst was prepared using sol-gel method developed by Yoldas and tested in degradation of phenol in water under UV radiation.  The synthesized catalyst was characterized by XRF, XRD, specific surface area and porosimetry, and SEM methods. The porosimetry revealed the mesopore structure of the catalyst. Results of SEM confirmed the nano dispersion of  iron...

A simple and efficient synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 3-substituted-2H-1,4-benzothiazines by using a novel sulfonic acid functionalized nano-γ-Al2O3 catalyst, devoid of corrosive acidic, and basic reagents. The developed method has the advantages of good to excellent yields, short reaction times, operational simplicity, and a recyclable catalyst. The catalyst can be ...

The growth of monoclinic Ga2O3 nanowires, nano-ribbons and nano-sheets has been investigated. Results indicate that high quality single crystal nanowires can be grown at 900°C using an Au catalyst, while single crystal nano-ribbons and nano-sheets require no metal catalyst for growth. Since bulk Ga2O3 is a promising material for high temperature sensing, Ga2O3 nanowires and nano-ribbons may pro...

3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-phenyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydroacridine-1,8-(2h,5h)-dione derivatives are synthesized by nano titanium dioxide as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous nano catalyst in a one pot multi component reaction. easy preparation and separation of catalyst, simply workup procedure, clean reaction and reusability of the catalyst up to 7 times without appreciable loss of its catalyt...

a simple, green and efficient method for synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles is described via three-component cyclocondensation of benzil or benzoin, aldehyde and ammonium acetate by using the nano sio2-supported ferric hydrogen sulfate (fhs/sio2), as a catalyst, under solvent-free conditions. the nano sio2 support and catalyst were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmissio...
