The sorption of thorium and uranium ions by functionalized SBA–15 mesoporous silica materials with Schiff base ligating groups N–propylsalicylaldimine (SBA/SA) and ethylenediaminepropylesalicylaldimine (SBA/EnSA) from aqueous solution was investigated in fixed-bed column method. The TEMPeffect of pH, sample solution volume, and the column design parameters such as sample and eluent flow rat...

The formation of radical species in solution can be triggered through thermal or photochemical activation a suitable precursor. This EPR study aimed to establish if these two modes were as effective mesoporous silicas solution. First, calibration system was devised and validated reliably quantify the formation. Alkoxyamines selected generate stable nitroxyl radicals upon heating irradiation. Th...

1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) under solvent-free conditions. excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and easy work-up procedures are advantages of this green method.

Knoevenagel condensation between barbituric acid and aldehyde was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) and resulted in the formation of arylidene and bis-arylidene barbiturates. Excellent yields and short reaction times are related to the high efficiency of SBA-Pr-SO3H that the reactions take place easily in its nano-pores. SBA-Pr-SO3H as ...
