The application of imidazolinium and amidinium salts as soft Lewis acid organocatalysts is described. These salts were suitable catalysts for the activation of unsaturated thioesters in a Diels-Alder reaction and in the ring opening of thiiranes and epoxides. The products were isolated in good yields. The mild catalysts did not cause desulfurization of the products containing a thiol or thiocar...

Short phosphorothioate oligonucleotides have been prepared by refluxing an equimolar mixture of thymidine and triethylammonium phosphite in toluene in the presence of elemental sulfur. Desulfurization and subsequent digestion of the products by P1 nuclease revealed that nearly 80% of the internucleosidic linkages thus formed were of the canonical 3´,5´-type.

An unusual ceria dispersion was achieved by using the confined space between template and silica walls in as-prepared mesoporous silica, for the first time. The new adsorbents exhibit high adsorptive desulfurization activity and, more importantly, excellent stability and reusability, which is impossible to realize with conventional adsorbents.

A core-in-shell sorbent is described herein. The core is reactive to the compounds of interest, and is preferably calcium-based, such as limestone for hot gas desulfurization. The shell is a porous protective layer, preferably inert, which allows the reactive core to remove the desired compounds while maintaining the desired physical characteristics to withstand the conditions of use.

NiMo catalysts supported on mesoporous MCM-41 type materials shaped with binder were tested for activity in the hydrodesulfurization of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) and diesel fuel fraction (0.92 wt% sulfur). The aim investigation was to evaluate effect ion exchange protons Al- or Ti-substituted supports. subjected catalytic systems NiMo/HAlMCM-41 NiMo/HTiMCM-41, comparison purposes...

The desulfurization in metallurgical process is electrochemical reaction nature. Desulfurization using the method was proposed with CaO-MgO-Al2O3 molten slag covering steel. Effect of an applied external DC voltage, which varied from 0 to 8V, discussed. results indicated that sulfur steel could be removed effectively voltage. According mechanism analyses under kinetics formulae were developed, ...

The present study focuses on effects of initial pH on dibenzothiophene (DBT) desulfurization via 4S pathway by growing cells of Ralstonia eutropha. For so doing, temporal changes of biomass concentration, glucose as a sole carbon source, pH value, and 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) formation have been monitored during the bioprocess. The biomass concentration has been modeled by the logistic equatio...
