in the present study, a heterogeneous and homogeneous gas flow dispersion model for simulation and optimization of a large-scale catalytic slurry reactor for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (dme) from synthesis gas (syngas) and co2, using a churn-turbulent regime was developed. in the heterogeneous flow model, the gas phase was distributed into two bubble phases including small and large...

TiCl4/nano-cellulose as a biodegradable and eco-friendly Lewis acid catalyst was synthesized via reaction of nano-cellulose and TiCl4. This catalyst was characterized and used for synthesis of asymmetric highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines via a five-component condensation reaction of p-substituted anilines, aldehydes and ethyl acetoacetate under solvent-free condition. Simple methodology...

Asymmetric catalysis in flow has been attracting much attention very recently because of the potential advantages over its batchwise counterpart, such as highthroughput screening and synthesis, easy automation with the integration of on-demand reaction analysis, little or no reaction workup, and potential long-term use of the catalysts in the case of heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous asymmet...

in this paper, 4,4ʹ-bipyridinium dichloride  supported sba-15 (sba@bipy2+ 2cl-) was used for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones. the synthesized catalyst was characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga). this nanocomposite was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthes...

This paper describes a computational study of the partial oxidation of ethane to ethylene in a shortcontact-time reactor (SCTR), using a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model with full heat and mass transport. Detailed heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical kinetic mechanisms are employed to describe the chemistry. Emphasis is placed on simulating recent experiments in which the pl...

The SiO2 supported cobalt-iron nano catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method. This research investigated the effects of (Co/Fe) wt.%, different Co/Fe ratio at different temperature and loading of KCl wt.% for Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The results were showed that the catalyst containing 50 wt.% (Co/Fe)/SiO2 (Co/Fe ratio is 70/30) which promoted with 0.6 wt.% KCl is an optimal nano ca...

The photocatalytic degradation of Diamond green B, a triarylmethane dye, has been investigated in aqueous heterogeneous solutions containing TiO2 nano- particles as photocatalysts. The factors effective on the degradation of Diamond green B, such as the amount of catalyst, the original concentration of dye, the effect of pH and illumination time were investigated under 400 W high pressure mercu...

A proper, atom-economical, straightforward one-pot multicomponent synthetic route for the synthesis of benzopyranophenazines has been presented by the reaction of hydroxynaphthoquinone, o-phenylenediamine, benzaldehydes, and malononitrile with crosslinked sulfonated polyacrylamide (Cross-PAA-SO3H) attached to nano-Fe3O4as an efficient heterogeneous soli...

the selective reduction of oximes with sodium borohydride (nabh4) in the presence of nano cu and charcoal was investigated. cu nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts; efficacious catalyst: copper and copper alloy nanometer feature high efficacy and selectivity, and can be used as catalyst in some reactions. we have shown that nabh4 in the presence of charcoal is an efficient protocol for th...

In2O3/nano TiO2 and In2O3/TiO2 (P-25) photocatalysts with different In2O3 loadings have been prepared by solid state dispersion method. These catalysts are characterized by XRD, surface area, TEM, UV-vis DRS and XPS techniques. XRD analysis shows the fine dispersion of In2O3 on the surface of TiO2. The photocombinates of In2O3 prepared using the lab-made TiO2 are nano sized with an average size...
