silica supported phosphorus pentoxide (p2o5·sio2) is an efficient catalyst for synthesis of 1,3,5-substituted pyrazoles via the condensation of 1,3-diketones and hydrazines. simplicity of procedure, mild condition, being solvent-free, high yields, and easy workup are some advantages of this protocol.

SiO2/V2O5/TiO2 catalysts were synthesized for removing elemental mercury (Hg0) from simulated coal-combustion flue gas. Experiments were carried out in fixed-bed reactors using both pellet and powder catalysts. In contrast to the SiO2-TiO2 composites developed in previous studies, the V2O5 based catalysts do not need ultraviolet light activation and have higher Hg0 oxidation efficiencies. For H...

A new efficient method for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones and spiroquinazolinones via a condensation reaction of aldehydes and ketones with anthranilamide in the presence of nano Fe3O4@SiO2-SO3H as catalyst in ethanol has been described. The reactions are completed in short times, and the corresponding dihydroquinazolinones are produced with high yields. The present procedure...

The literature of olefin metathesis by heterogeneous supported catalysts, both industrial-type supported metal oxides (ReOx/Al2O3, ReOx/(SiO2−Al2O3), MoOx/SiO2, MoOx/Al2O3, MoOx/(SiO2−Al2O3), WOx/SiO2, and WOx/ (SiO2−Al2O3)) and supported organometallic complexes, is comprehensively reviewed. The focus of this Review is supported metal oxide catalysts, but the well-defined supported organometal...

Hollow mesoporous-SiO2 nanocapsules have been synthesized at room temperature using unmodified cowpea Mosaic Virus (CPMV) as a template, and without using any catalyst or surfactant during the synthesis. The average size of the capsules synthesized was ∼200-250 nm with a 60-100 nm hollow core. The resulting nanocapsules were characterized using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (...

Rapid atomic layer deposition (RALD) has been applied to prepare various nanolaminates with repeated multilayer structures. The possible reaction pathways for RALD of the Al2O3/SiO2 nanolaminate using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and tris(tert-butoxy)silanol (TBS) are investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The introduction of a Lewis-acid catalyst, TMA, can result in the...

Fast catalytic pyrolysis of wild reed was carried out at 500 ̋C. Waste fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst disposed from a petroleum refinery process was activated through acetone-washing and calcination and used as catalyst for pyrolysis. In order to evaluate the catalytic activity of waste FCC catalyst, commercial HY zeolite catalyst with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 5.1 was also used. The b...

A new type of magnetically-recoverable catalyst was synthesized by the immobilization of H3PW12O40 on the surface of silica-encapsulated -Fe2O3 nanoparticles. A series of novel 1,3,5-triaryl pyrazoline derivatives has been synthesized by the reaction of chalcone and phenylhydrazine in the presence of the -Fe2O3@SiO2-PW12nanoparticles,  in high yields. The structures of compounds obtained were...

We designed a ceria-vanadia/silica (Ce-V/SiO2) heterogeneous catalyst and used it for the green and efficient synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-pyran derivatives. The green reaction was a multicomponent one-pot condensation of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, aromatic aldehyde, and malononitrile in an eco-compatible solvent (ethanol). The catalyst was synthesized and fully characterized by powd...
