Heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. Prepared composite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR and ICP technique. In this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. The liquid phase bromination of phenol was Performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel...

Vitreous samples from bovine, ovine, human, canine, and lapine unfrozen eyes were found to contain fine fibrils which displayed no clearly discernible banding pattern when negatively stained with either phosphotungstic acid (pH 8.9) or silicotungstic acid (pH 7.0). The fibrils from the different species were found to be of similar width (10.5 to 12.5 nm) with the exception of the lapine samples...

Core-shell-type catalysts, which are synthesized by encapsulating the Cu-ZnO-Alumina type methanol synthesis catalyst (CZA) silicotungstic acid (STA)-incorporated mesoporous alumina, were prepared following a hydrothermal route and tested in DME from syngas CO2. Activity tests, performed pressure range of 30–50 bar, temperature 200–300 °C, with different feed compositions (CO2/CO/H2: 50/-/50, 4...

In recent years, functionalized metal oxides have been gaining popularity for biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals due the global energy crisis. This study reports a novel catalyst based on noble immobilization zirconia that has successfully used in production of biofuel alkyl levulinates (ALs) from lignocellulosic biomass-derived levulinic acid (LA) under vapor-phase. The wet impregnation...
