Biodiesel production is worthy of continued study and optimization of production procedures due to its environmentally beneficial attributes and its renewable nature. Heterogeneous transesterification is considered to be a green process. The process requires neither catalyst recovery nor aqueous treatment steps and very high yields of methyl esters can be obtained, close to the theoretical valu...
In this study, two cobalt based catalyst samples were prepared on titania and titania nanotubes supports using the deposition precipitation method. Their structural configurations were characterized and compared using BET, and TRP analyses. The BET analysis showed that the surface area of TiO2 is much higher than that of TNT which was due to their structural differences. Analyses of the results...

Preparation of 2-Chlorobenzonitrile, and benzonitrile are reported here from the corresponding 2-Chlorobenzaldehyde and benzaldehyde by the reaction of ammonium hydroxide/VPO titania, VPO bulk (...
bis(2-r-ind)zrcl2 (r: h or phenyl) was supported on different types of silica by in situ impregnation method and used for ethylene polymerization. in this method, the step of catalyst loading on support was eliminated and common alkyl aluminum (triisobutylaluminum, tiba) cocatalyst was used instead of expensive methyl aluminiumoxane (mao) cocatalyst in the polymerization. the effect of surface ...

The long-term efficiency of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is largely restricted by the instability of catalyst nanoparticles during fuel cell operation. Due to their large surface area-tovolume ratio, Pt and Pt-alloy nanoparticles have a strong tendency to grow in size over short time scales, which lead to a reduction in their electrochemically-active surface area, and consequentl...
Easily prepared nanoZnO was found to be as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of 1,4-DHPs via four-component reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyls, aldehydes and ammonium carbonate in water at 60 °C. The prepared nanoZnO was characterized by XRD and FT-IR analysis, while the determined specific surface area of nano catalyst by BET method was 33 m2/g.

A series of MnOx-CeO₂ and MnOx-TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method and their catalytic activities for the NO oxidation in the absence or presence of SO₂ were evaluated. Results show that the optimal molar ratio of Mn/Ce and Mn/Ti are 0.7 and 0.5, respectively. The MnOx-CeO₂ catalyst exhibits higher catalytic activity and better resistance to SO₂ poisoning than the...
The bifunctional nature of Cu-ALOx-on-carbon catalysts, used in the direct catalytic conversion of ethanol to ethyl acetate, prompted an examination of the dispersion of Cu on the composite catalyst. For this, the NzO-method of Osinga et al. for estimation of bare metallic copper surface on composite copper catalysts has been adapted for use on a gravimetric adsorption unit and Ohen applied to ...
