A convenient approach for oxidation of structurally diverse alcohols has been developed using KMnO4 as oxidant agent in the presence of a catalytic amount of Al2O3 in aqueous acetonitrile. In this method various alcohols generally afforded the corresponding carbonyl compounds directly in good to high yield under ultrasound irradiation conditions. It shows that this kind of catalysis system is v...

Reaction behaviors and kinetics of catalytic oxidation of toluene with different feed flows over Pt/Zr(x)-HMS catalysts with Si/Zr ratio equal to 5, 10, 20 and 35 were investigated over a wide temperature range (200 – 500 oC). Results show that Pt/Zr(x)-HMS performs more easily toluene oxidation. The kinetic data were fitted by the Power-law and Mars–van Krevelen kinetic models. The fitting res...

this paper reports results of a study regarding the activities of nano structure mn/γ-al2o3 and γ-al2o3 catalysts for oxidation of 2-propanol (as a model of volatile organic compound). nanostructure of catalysts was revealed using xrd, sem and tem techniques. catalytic studies were carried out in u-shaped packed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and at the reaction temperature of 150- 500°...

a catalytic spectrophotometric method for determination of ultra-trace quantities of manganese(ii) id described. the method is based on the catalytic effect of manganese(ii) on the oxidation reaction of ferroin by potassium periodate in acidic media. the reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically at 510 nm by a slope method and mn(ii) is determinable in the range of 1-1000ngml-1. the limit of...

The vanadium-based catalyst, acts as a homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of sulfides with 30% aqueous H2O2. Vanadium-based catalyst was successfully used as the oxygen source for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides for the first time. The sulfoxides were obtained in a good way to high yields without any detectable over-oxidation to sulfones under normal condi...

Zeolite (NaX, NaX-CeO2) and mixed oxide (Co4MnAl, NiMgMn) catalysts were tested in catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The different kinds of catalysts proved remarkable activity in catalytic oxidation of ethanol and isopropanol respectively. The deepen comparison revealed that basic zeolite NaX-CeO2 is more suitable for oxidation of isopropanol while oxidation of ethanol ...

Effects of water on the catalytic performances of MoVTeNbO catalyst in the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid have been investigated at different reaction temperatures and different steam contents. Obtained results show that both catalytic performances and catalyst structure are very sensitive to the presence of water vapor in the reaction feed. Presence of water induces some structural modif...

CO2 reforming of methane (CRM) over unpromoted and potassium promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts was studied. The catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption (BET), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The obtained results showed that addition of K2...

In this work, NdFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized through a simple co-precipitation method. The formation of NdFeO3 particles was verified by X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. Polyaniline and chitosan were employed as proper support for production of metal nanoparticles. Novel Pt...
