Hydrotalcite nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation of aqueous Mg(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O and Al(NO(3))(3)·9H(2)O in the presence of urea and subsequent microwave-hydrothermal treatment. The nanoparticles were activated with saturated aqueous Ca(OH)(2), and used to hydrolyze cellulose. A maximum hydrolysis yield of 47.4% with high glucose selectivity (85.8%) was achieved at 423 K. The nano...

Dye sewage is dangerous problem in our environmental aquatics that cause generation of harmful effects for living organism. In this work, because of simplicity, easy operation, high efficiency and no creating secondary pollutants, ultra sound radiation applied for degradation of a synthetic dye, methyl orange using zinc sulfide nano particles decorated on carbon nanotubes as nanocatalyst. ZnS/C...

Research posted today on ES&T’s Research ASAP website (10.1021/es0509836) describes how, in one elegant step, selected bacteria can recover precious metals from industrial waste solutions and deposit them as nanocrystal catalysts on their cell surfaces. By using the metal-covered biomass to clean up toxic chromium wastes, the researchers demonstrated the approach’s potential as a sustainable te...

A bulky organocobalt sandwich-supported Rh nanoparticle is an efficient, stable and recyclable nanocatalyst for hydrolysis of both ammonia borane tetrahydroxydiboron to H 2 .

sulfated titania nanoparticles (so42-/tio2 nps) were synthesized using titanium tetraisopropoxide (ttip) by the sol-gel method. the structure and morphology of the prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and brunauer–emmett–teller (bet) methods as well as fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectr...

this work described a simple and efficient synthesis of dialkyl 3-(alkylamino)-1-aryl-1h-pyrazole-4,5-dicarboxylates via a three component reaction between arylhydrazine, alkylisocyanid and dialkylacetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of phenylisocyanate and α-fe2o3 nanoparticles. eco friendly, solvent-free conditions, excellent yields, and short reaction times, inexpensive and readily availa...

The excellent catalytic activity of newly magnetic nanocatalyst FeAl 2 O 4 @PTMS-sulfaguanidine-SA in a one pot multicomponent Mannich-type reaction was used to obtain 2-piperazinyl quinoxaline derivatives with highly selective anti-proliferation efficacy.

nanoporous graphene which is used as nanosorbent was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method via porous zinc oxide nanocatalyst. the reaction was carried out using methane as the carbon source and hydrogen as the carrier gas in a ratio of 4:1 at the temperature ranging 900-1050°c for 2-50 min. the product was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscop...

The befitting capping capabilities of AsO4(3-) provide a stable Cu2O nanocatalyst from a galvanic reaction between a Cu(II) precursor salt and As(0) nanoparticles. This stable Cu2O hydrosol appears to be a suitable catalyst for the one-electron transfer reversible redox reaction between Eosin Y and NaBH4. The progress of the reaction relates to three different kinetic stages. In the presence of...
