Bimetallic platinum–rhenium catalysts supported on activated carbon were tested for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of isoeugenol at 250 °C and 30 bar H2 in a batch reactor. The characterized by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-IES), N2 physisorption, electron microscopy (high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission (HAADF-STEM), (TEM)), temperature-programmed re...

Termites are one of the most challenging pests that agriculture and urban environments faced with. They bring substantial losses in annual perennial crops damage wood components at construction sites. The development natural products with biological activity for termite control is an ecological alternative search to replace conventional products. Hence, aim this research was predict termiticida...

Two aluminum–boron oxide catalysts were produced via a sol–gel method at pH 3 and 4 during the solution mixing step of synthesis, these materials employed in thermocatalytic degradation coniferyl aldehyde (CA), which was used as probe molecule lignin polymeric is comprised repetitive monomers coniferyl, sinapyl, paracoumaryl. The two synthesized mostly amorphous mesoporous, aiding permeability ...

The residual lignin content of unbleached maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) Kraft pulps was assessed by analytical pyrolysis (Py-lignin) and the results were compared to Klason kappa number. Thirty samples, each from an individual tree, delignified under identical conditions. varied widely as Py-lignin (5.9%–9.2%), (8.2–15.1), number (59–112). Despite a systematic difference between Klason, ...
