The variation of the supports on the Cu/SiO2 catalyst plays an important role in the catalytic performance for hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate. The loss of silica in the form of tetramethoxysilane from the support under the reaction conditions is responsible for the deactivation of the Cu/SiO2 catalyst.

Geopolymers have not been extensively employed as catalytic materials despite of their zeolite-resembling Si–Al structure. Geopolymerization offers a novel way for preparation catalysts and possibility to use waste or industrial side-stream derived raw material resource catalyst manufacturing. This work concentrates on metakaolin-based geopolymer that were prepared, characterized tested alterna...

In this paper, we reported a new simple and effective method, osmotic membrane-assisted self-assembly, for fabricating massive interconnected macroporous silica monolith as catalyst supports. Using the method, we can prepare massive interconnected macroporous silica monolith with homogeneous structures beyond millimeter scale one time. Typically, silica/polystyrene and polystyrene/poly 4-vinyl ...

An organosuperbase (N,N-dimethylbiguanide) immobilized on mesoporous and magnetically separable silica supports, was found for the first time, to act as a highly-stable, scalable and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the Henry reaction under mild and neutral condition. Several factors such as catalyst amount, solvent and reaction time concerning the reactivity were also discussed. The proced...

fischer-tropsch synthesis is a promising route for production of light olefins via co hydrogenation over transition metals. co is one of the most active metals for fischer-tropsch synthesis. some different variables such as preparation parameters and operational factors can strongly affect the selectivity of fischer-tropsch synthesis toward the special products. in the case of preparation varia...
