We present a one-pot microwave synthesis of Pd modified titanium dioxide nanocrystals for macroscopic aerogel monoliths, which are efficient visible-light photocatalysts methanol oxidation in heated gas flow reactor.

Rhapontigenin was produced from rhapontin isolated from a methanol extract of Rheum undulatum roots by enzymatic transformation. Rhapontin and rhapontigenin exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells, but the inhibitory activity of rhapontigenin was greater than that of rhapontin. Thus the bioconversion of rhapontin enhanced its abi...

Cu-Exchanged zeolites are known as active materials for methane oxidation to methanol. However, understanding of the formation of Cu active species during synthesis, dehydration and activation is fragmented and rudimentary. We show here how a synthesis protocol guided by insight in the ion exchange elementary steps leads to highly uniform Cu species in mordenite (MOR).

High-performance Cu/ZnO/(Al(2)O(3)) methanol synthesis catalysts are conventionally prepared by co-precipitation from nitrate solutions and subsequent thermal treatment. A new synthesis route is presented, which is based on similar preparation steps and leads to active catalysts, but avoids nitrate contaminated waste water.

Introduction Recently, computational chemistry made great impacts on the catalyst design and development. However, the computational chemistry is mainly employed to clarify the atomistic mechanism of the well-known catalytic reactions and to obtain the electronic information on the catalysts of which property and reactivity are well known experimentally. We suggested that such traditional compu...

the aim of this paper is to study the kinetic study carbonylation of methanol using of the homogeneous rhodium catalyst and ch3i as the promoter in acid media based on monsanto process. the reaction was carried out in liquid media in the constant pressures 20,28 and 40 atm. and temperatures 170 to185oc, espect to the  initial  reactant concentrations and co pressure.  it was identified that the...
