Structure-activity relationship has been one of the main topics of research on catalysts all the time. Component and structure are the two moieties governing the performance of solid materials as catalysts. Multicomponent bismuth molybdates are well known catalysts for propene oxidation but pure crystalline phases of bismuth molybdate are inactive for the reaction. We have designed mesostructur...

in this study, preparation of nano-sized gamma alumina with high specific surface area and high yield by thereaction between aluminum nitrate and sodium carbonate, without using any surfactant is reported. bohemite (aluminum oxyhydroxide) was prepared as a precursor by strict control of ph and reaction temperature. the gel produced was purified by washing followed by centrifugation. the specifi...

pyrano [2,3-d] pyrimidinone derivatives have received considerable interest from the pharmaceutical industry due to their wide range of interesting biological and therapeutic properties. nano al2o3 was found to be a highly efficient solid acid catalyst for the preparation of pyrano [2,3-d] pyrimidinone derivatives from the reaction of barbituric acid, aryl aldehyde and malononitrile. al2o3 nano...

this review paper provides researcherwith a comprehensive information about the carbon nano tubes and the catalyst parameters that influences theproduction and morphology of the of carbon nano tubes.carbon nanotubes, referred to as cnts, are one of the most important materials used in electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical and textile industries. since discovery of cnts in 1991, many scienti...

nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  this nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. the prepared sulfated titania s...

Silver nano-particles have been used for antibacterial purpose and it is also believed to have removal of odorous compounds, oxidation capacity as a metal catalyst. In this study, silver nano-particles in nano sizes (5-30 nm) were prepared on the surface of NaHCO3, the supporting material, using a sputtering method that provided high silver content and minimized conglomerating problems observed...

A detailed study of the valence state and distribution of the AuCl3/AC catalyst during the acetylene hydrochlorination deactivation process is described and discussed. Temperature-programmed reduction and X-ray photoelectron spectral analysis indicate that the active Au(3+) reduction to metallic Au(0) is one reason for the deactivation of AuCl3/AC catalyst. Transmission electron microscopy char...

The objective of this study was to develop a supported tri-metallic catalyst (nano-Ni-La-Fe/γ-Al2O3) for tar removal in biomass steam gasification, to significantly enhance the quality of the produced gas. For this purpose, the supported tri-metallic catalysts were prepared by a deposition-precipitation (DP) method. Different analytical approaches were used to characterize the synthesized catal...

Nano-MgO was successfully deposited on titania using deposition-precipitation method. The catalyst produced was characterised using FTIR, XRD, BET and XRF and its activity was tested on the transesterification reaction of soybean oil to biodiesel. The catalyst activity improved when the reaction temperature was increasedfrom 150 and 225 C. It was also observed that increasing the reaction time ...
