This work aims at the reutilization of a Cr-loaded NaY zeolite obtained by biorecovery of chromium from water as catalyst in the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Cr-NaY catalysts were obtained after biosorption of Cr(VI) using a bacterium, Arthrobacter viscosus, supported on the zeolite. The biosorption experiments were conducted at different pH values in the range 1-4. The cataly...

A molecular H2-evolving catalyst, [Fe2(cbdt)(CO)6] ([FeFe], cbdt = 3-carboxybenzene-1,2-dithiolate), has been attached covalently to an amino-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) through an amide bond. Chemical reduction experiments reveal that the MOF channels can be clogged by ion pairs that are formed between the oxidized reductant and the reduced catalyst. This effect is lessened in MIL-101-NH-[FeFe]...

the electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (orr) on carbon supportedpt-v (1:1) catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (pefc) was investigated. atan oxygen pressure of one atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of pt-v/ccompared with pt/c is revealed. these results indicate the occurrence of adifferent electrocatalytic mechanism for the orr on pt/c and pt-v/c. anincrease of mas...

Physical adsorption and photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) in magnetic separable beads were investigated. In order to elucidate the kinetics of photocatalytic process, operating parameters such as catalyst dosage and the initial concentration were examined in detail. It was observed that the reduction rate of Cr(VI) increased with an increase in the catalyst loading, as this translated into an ...

A series of constrained geometry O-functionalized cyclopentadienylchromium complexes (1-6) and a S-functionalized cyclopentadienylchromium complex (7) were first synthesized, characterized, and tested as catalyst precursors for the olefin polymerization. In the presence of MAO, the complexes exhibited high catalytic activity for the polymerization of ethylene. It is shown that ligand variations...

Yeast biomass was methylated in a 0.1 M HCl methyl alcohol solution at room temperature and the methylated yeast (MeYE) was applied to the adsorptive separation of Cr(VI) and As(V) anions from aqueous solutions. At near-neutral pH, while Cr(VI) and As(V) anions were scarcely adsorbed onto unmethylated yeast biomass, the amounts adsorbed increased with increasing methylation degree. The amount o...

A graphG = (V,E) is called a chordal ring and denoted by CR(N, d), if V = {0, 1, · · · , N− 1} and E = {(u, v) | [v − u]N = 1 or [v − u]N = d, 2 ≦ d ≦ N/2)}, where [v − u]N denotes v − u modulo N . A graph G = (V,E) is called an extended chordal ring and denoted by CR(N, d1, d2), if V = {0, 1, · · · , N − 1} and E = {(u, v) | [v − u]N = 1 or [v − u]N = di, 1 ≦ i ≦ 2, 2 ≦ di ≦ N/2)}. CR(N, d1, N...

(Received: May 18, 2012; Accepted in Revised Form: February 4, 2013) Abstract: Direct oxidation of benzene to phenol in liquid phase in the medium of methanol, acetone, acetic acid and acetonitrile as a solvent over chromium catalyst supported on highly ordered nanoporous silica (Cr-LUS-1) by H O were examined. The best results obtained from methanol solvent with 20% yield and selectivity of 90...
