In this work, kinetics and thermodynamics of esterification reaction were studied. This research investigated the esterification reaction between methanol and acidified oil catalyzed by sulfonated cation exchange resin and proposed a new rate equation for consideration of kinetics of this reaction according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. Thermodynamics and kinetics parameters were calcu...

Quantum chemical calculations are used to investigate the detailed reaction mechanism of 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic-acid (SEPHCHC) synthase (also known as MenD), a thiamin diphosphate-dependent decarboxylase that catalyzes formation SEPHCHC from 2-ketoglutarate and isochorismate. This enzyme is involved in menaquinone biosynthesis pathway M. tuberculosis thoug...

the cycloalkylation of diethyl malonate and ethyl cyanoacetate with alkyl dihalide was investigated by using comminuted potassium carbonate as a base and toluene as a solvent in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (htmab) as a phase-transfer catalyst, which provided a conventional procedure with the advantage of short reaction period and high product yield. the factors influencin...

Acetic acid has been applied as an efficient catalyst and a green solvent for the two–component condensation reaction consisting of benzaldehyde, 2-amino-benzamide. The advantages of this protocol was excellent yield, short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, higher availability, low costs, more environmentally friendly, lack of need for column chromatography and simple work-up procedure. ...

The high silica Mn-substituted MFI metallosilicate catalyst with Si/Al molar ratio of 220 and Si/Mn molar ratio of 50 was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The catalyst sample was appropriately characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX and BET techniques. The Mn-substituted MFI metallosilicate has not been reported as the potential catalyst for the methanol to propylene (MTP) reaction. T...

The aim of this research is preparation of SnO2 nanowires by means of Thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (TCRVTD) method from SnO powders. The morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), EDS, and XRD. The XRD diffraction patterns reveal that the SnO2 nanowires have...
