In this paper we report on the magnetic properties of singleand multiwalled carbon nanotubes synthesized using different chemical vapour deposition methods and with variety of catalyst materials (ferromagnetic Fe, FeCo and diamagnetic Re). Different methods yield carbon nanotubes with different morphologies and different quantity of residual catalyst material. Catalyst particles are usually enc...

The new magnetic amine-functionalized graphene oxide (Fe3O4-GO-NH2) nanocatalyst was prepared through the reaction of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) with magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4-GO). It was characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, FT-IR and EDX techniques. The intrinsic carboxylic acids on the edges of Fe3O4-GO alo...

The conversion of diverse non-petroleum carbon elements, such as coal, biomass, natural/shale gas, and even CO2, into cleaner hydrocarbon fuels useful chemicals relies heavily on syngas, which is a combination CO H2. Syngas conversions, have been around for almost century, will probably become more important in the production energy due to rising need liquid chemical components derived from sou...

the stereospecific polymerization of conjugated dienes began in 1954 with the first catalysts obtained by combining ticl4 or ticl3 with aluminum-alkyls, i.e. the catalytic systems previously employed for ethylene and propylene polymerizations. subsequently, many other catalytic systems were obtained and examined by a combination of transition metal or lanthanide compounds with appropriate alkyl...

Fenton oxidation technology is the general strategy for the treatment of organic compounds-contained wastewater. However, a considerable amount of ferric sludge was produced during the Fenton process as secondary wastes, which were needed to be further removed from the effluent and treated. In this study, heterogeneous catalysts based on ferrite oxide (Cu-Fe-Ce-O) were synthesized and character...

Solvent-free copolymerization of epoxides derived from fatty esters of waste cooking oil with phthalic anhydride using (salen)CrIIICl as catalyst and n-Bu₄NCl/DMAP (tetrabutylammonium chloride/4-(dimethylamino)pyridine) as co-catalysts was carried out for the first time under microwave irradiation, where reaction time was reduced from a number of hours to minutes. The polyesters were obtained w...

We present a successive microfluidic approach to create and characterize hierarchical catalyst structures consisting of metal-decorated nanoparticles that are assembled into porous microparticles ("supraball" catalysts). First, using a silicon microreactor, platinum nanoparticles with a very narrow size distribution are grown and immobilized uniformly onto iron oxide/silica core-shell nanospher...

In order to screen one suitable catalyst for magnetically stabilized fluidized bed (MSFB) reactor in the process of oxidative carbonylation of phenol to diphenyl carbonate (DPC), Pd/MFe2O4 catalysts were chosen, then prepared and characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, XPS and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Compared to the other metal ion doped spinel ferrite catalysts, the catalytic activity of Pd...
