Mesoporous silica pillared clay (SPC) incorporated with tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) has been synthesized via in situ introducing P and W source in the acidic suspension of the clay interlayer template during the formation of the silica pillared clay. The samples were characterized by XRD, XRF, FT-IR, TG-DTA, N(2) adsorption-desorption, and SEM techniques. The results showed that the HPW formed...

BACKGROUND Water and High Purity Water (HPW) distribution systems can be contaminated with human pathogenic microorganisms. This biocontamination may pose a risk to human health as HPW is commonly used in the industrial, pharmaceutical and clinical sectors. Currently, routine microbiological testing of HPW is performed using slow and labour intensive traditional microbiological based techniques...

In this study, three solid acid catalysts, namely mesoporous aluminophosphate-supported 12-tungstophosphoric heteropoly (HPW/MAP), aluminosilicate-supported (HPW/MAS), and gamma alumina-supported (HPW/?-Al2O3) were prepared characterized. Mesoporous aluminophosphate (MAP) aluminosilicate (MAS) synthesized via sol-gel hydrothermal methods, respectively, 25 wt.% of (HPW) was immobilized on the su...

core-shell 12-tungstophosphoric acid/tio2 (hpw/tio2) nanoparticles at 10 and 20% of hpw have been synthesized by simple in-situ sol- gel method. characterization of the samples was carried out by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ftir). the x-ray diffraction patterns of as prepared solid samples, indicated characteristic peaks of titania wi...

Grafted tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40/ HPW) is applied as a catalyst in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR). The HPW/CeO2 has been found to be effective SCR reaction compared HPW/SiO2. cobalt-exchanged improved conversion, which reached 98% over wide operating temperature window (280–500 °C). better performance CoPW/CeO2 mainly due higher dispersion tungsten on CeO2 ...

Solid-state 13C NMR experiments and quantum chemical Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of acetone adsorption were used to study the location of protons in anhydrous 12-tungstophosphoric acid (HPW), the mobility of the isolated and hydrated acidic protons, and the acid strength heterogeneity of the anhydrous hydroxyl groups. This study presents the first direct NMR experimental eviden...

Catalyst is the key for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derivatives to produce alkyl aromatics and cycloalkanes, components 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Mono bi-functional catalysts nickel (Ni) heterophosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on SBA-15 carbons were prepared, characterized evaluated HDO derived trans-anethole. The structure was intact but its surface area pore volume decr...

In this work, a sustainable and green process to prepare nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from bleached hardwood pulp was demonstrated. Rod-like nanocrystalline cellulose with the size of 15-40 nm in width and hundreds of nanometers in length was obtained through H3PW12O40 (HPW)-catalyzed hydrolysis of bleached pulp fibers under the mild reaction conditions. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed t...

Both menopause and hypertension are associated with endothelial dysfunction and are risk factors for coronary heart disease. We evaluated forearm resistance artery endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women (HPW, n=57) and compared it with endothelial function in normotensive postmenopausal women (NPW, n=67). In addition, we evaluated the effects of long-term estrogen replacement...
