Introduction Aerobic catalytic oxidation is much more environmentally friendly than oxidation using stoichiometric oxidants. The Pd(OAc)2/pyridine system is active for the catalytic oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, which are valuable for fine chemicals synthesis. Pyridine stabilizes the monomeric Pd complex and promotes its aerobic reoxidation to Pd prior to...

In this study, 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB), an important precursor of PCDDs and PCDFs, was chosen as a suitable model compound for the catalyzed deep oxidation of dioxin. The recently developed mesoporous materials from zeolites (MMZ) were used for the first time as a support for an oxidation catalyst. The catalytic oxidation of 1,2-dichlorobenzene over Pt/MMZ was carried out, and the catalytic a...

 Background: Sulfur compounds must be removed from petroleum because they contribute to environmental pollution. A strong alkaline solution such as caustic soda is used to remove these compounds. This spent caustic has high values for chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration, pH and total sulfur. In this study, the regeneration and treatment methodology of sulfidic spent caustic was inve...

A simple strategy for determination of hydroxylamine based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles function­nalized by [2-(4-((3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylthio)methyl)1-H1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetic­acid] (FNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) modified screen-printed electrode (SPE), denoted as (Fe3O4 FNPs/GO/SPE), is reported. The electrochemical behavior was investigated at Fe3O4FNPs/GO/SPE cyclic voltammetry (CV), differe...

Pd(OAc)(2) in DMSO is an effective catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols and numerous other organic substrates. Kinetic studies of the catalytic oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohol substrates provide fundamental insights into the catalytic mechanism. In contrast to the conclusion reached in our earlier study (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 766-767), we find that Pd(II)-me...

A cellular automaton model is used to describe the dynamics of the catalytic oxidation of CO on a Pt(100) surface. The cellular automaton rules account for the structural phase transformations of the Pt substrate, the reaction kinetics of the adsorbed phase and diffusion of adsorbed species. The model is used to explore the spatial structure that underlies the global oscillations observed in so...
