a green, efficient and selective approach for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones with uhp at room temperature is reported. the reaction is performed in the presence of vanadia catalyst supported on mesocellular silica foam (mcf) with a v content ranging from 2% to 10% as heterogeneous and reusable catalyst. the structural and textural characterization of this catalyst were don...

Increase surface area of the 3M-patented, nanostructured, thin-film catalyst support system consistent with high-volume manufacturing process. Develop anode catalyst compositions and structures with higher reformate tolerance and/or a non-precious metal replacement for Ru by using a catalyst deposition process that easily generates new compositions and structures. Investigate catalyst compositi...

Halogenating enzymes have evolved in considerable mechanistic diversity. The apparent need for secondary metabolism coincides with the current to introduce halogens synthetic products. potential of halogenating and, especially, vanadate-dependent haloperoxidases has been insufficiently exploited purposes. In this work, we identified halogenase sequences by screening algal, fungal, and protobact...

For the development of highly active and robust catalysts for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene (EBDH) to produce styrene; an important monomer for polystyrene production, perovskite-type oxides were applied to the reaction. Controlling the mobility of lattice oxygen by changing the structure of Ba1 - x SrxFe y Mn1 - y O3 - δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0.2 ≤ y ≤ 0.8), perovskite catalyst showed higher activity ...

Biodiesel production is worthy of continued study and optimization of production procedures due to its environmentally beneficial attributes and its renewable nature. Heterogeneous transesterification is considered to be a green process. The process requires neither catalyst recovery nor aqueous treatment steps and very high yields of methyl esters can be obtained, close to the theoretical valu...

bis-(l-tyrosinato)copper(ii) was reacted with 3-(chloropropyl)-trimethoxysilane functionalized silica that has infused magnetite to yield a magnetically separable catalyst in which the copper carboxylate is covalently linked to the silica matrix through the silane linkage. the immobilized catalyst has been characterized by spectroscopic studies (such as ft-ir, epr, magnetic measurement, sem) an...

In this study, a graphene-vanadium carbonitride (G-V(C, N)) hybrid is reported as a novel support for the Pt catalyst in methanol oxidation. The catalytic activity of the Pt/G-V(C, N) hybrid for methanol oxidation is greatly enhanced compared with that of a commercial Pt/C catalyst with carbon black as the catalyst support. The outstanding catalytic activity of the Pt/G-V(C, N) catalyst suggest...

Flower-like MgO is a highly effective catalyst for the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate through the transesterification method, and coating the catalyst with mesoporous silica significantly enhances the stability of the MgO catalyst.
