A highly-integrated experimental system for plasma decomposition of fuels was built. Experiments were conducted and confirmed that macromolecular chain hydrocarbons were cracked by large-gap dielectric barrier discharge under the excitation of a microsecond-pulse power supply. Alkanes and olefins with a C atom number smaller than 10 as well as hydrogen were found in the cracked products of n-de...

Marine trypanocidal natural products are, most often, reported with trypanocidal activity and selectivity against human cell lines. The triaging of hits requires a consideration of chemical tractability for drug development. We utilized a combined Lipinski's rule-of-five, chemical clustering and ChemGPS-NP principle analysis to analyze a set of 40 antitrypanosomal natural products for their dru...

A biomimetic synthetic strategy has resulted in a two-step total synthesis of (±)-ulodione and the prediction two potential natural products, (±)-ulodiones C D. This work was guided by computational investigations into selectivity proposed biosynthetic Diels–Alder dimerization, which then utilized chemical synthesis. highlights how considerations can both guide design efficient strategies lead ...

The selectivity between high value C–C coupled (C 2 ) products (ethylene and ethanol against acetate) in the electrochemical CO (2) reduction reaction on Cu catalysts is governed by potential, local pH, roughness.

Decarboxylation of fatty acids over non-noble metal catalysts without added hydrogen was studied. Ni/C catalysts were prepared and exhibited excellent activity and maintenance for decarboxylation. Thereafter, the effects of nickel loading, catalyst loading, temperature, and carbon number on the decarboxylation of fatty acids were investigated. The results indicate that the products of cracking ...

Statistical mechanical modeling is developed to describe a catalytic conversion reaction A→B^{c} or B^{t} with concentration-dependent selectivity of the products, B^{c} or B^{t}, where reaction occurs inside catalytic particles traversed by narrow linear nanopores. The associated restricted diffusive transport, which in the extreme case is described by single-file diffusion, naturally induces ...

the catalyst pt-ta supported on 7-alumina was prepared by impregnation with solution containing compoundsof ii21k1.0. and ta205 the pt concentration was kept constant at 0.2 vet% while the concentration of thetantalum was 0,4 wt%. the activity and selectivity of catalyst were determined under conditions at 450-500 °cand 15-30 atm.. with molar ratio h2/c[h,e5 and wh=1.5ml/h for converted n-hepta...

Abstract The conversion of methane to ethylene has been investigated in a micro-DBD reactor with electrodes containing charge injector parts and excited negatively nano-second pulse voltage superimposed on positive dc voltage. effect changing the characteristics pulsed such as rise time (5–7 ns), total width (12–14 fall ns) generation rate products selectivity plasma studied. kinetic model incl...

nitration of phenol and various 4-substituted phenols with cu(no3)2.3h2o, cu(no3)2.3h2o/sio2, 9h2o and cr(no3)2. 9h2o in different anhydrous organic solvents are investigated. high selectivity ratio of para vs ortho isomers has been observed. mono- and dinitro compounds from phenol and 4-substituted phenols by choosing the proper solvents and reaction conditions, are also obtained with high sel...
