Nano-dispersed Fe and Fe3O4 on reduced graphene oxide (Fe /Fe3O4-RGO) was prepared and characterized. The prepared Fe/Fe3O4-RGO was used as a magnetically separable Fenton-like catalyst and showed superior catalytic activity compared to Fe3O4-RGO and Fe3O4 as well as other Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of phenol. The Fe/Fe3O4-RGO achieved 100% removal efficiency for phenol within 30 min...

Several ppm level gold-catalyzed reactions enabled by the ligand HandaPhos can be performed at room temperature in aqueous nanoreactors composed of the surfactant Nok. Variously substituted allenes undergo cycloisomerization leading to heterocyclic products in good yields. Likewise, cyclodehydration is also illustrated under similar conditions, as is an intermolecular variant, hydration of term...

A two-stage pyrolysis−catalytic steam reforming process was used with mesoporous MCM-41 supported iron and nickel bimetallic catalysts for hydrogen-rich syngas production from a simulated mixture of waste plastics. Different Fe/Ni weight ratios (00:20, 05:15, 10:10, 05:15, and 20:00) have been investigated to determine the influence on hydrogen production. The results showed that the presence o...

Asymmetric hydrogenation uses inexpensive, clean hydrogen gas and a very small amount of a chiral molecular catalyst, providing the most powerful way to produce a wide array of enantio-enriched compounds in a large quantity without forming any waste. The recent revolutionary advances in this field have entirely changed the synthetic approach to producing performance chemicals that require a hig...

Application of aromatic compounds has dramatically increased as raw materials in various industries and different factories have been established to produce aromatic compounds. The current research aims at characterizing industrial waste generation in aromatics production process in petrochemical industries and determining the best feasible alternative for waste disposal. For this purpose, the ...

This experiment is an investigation of used cooking oil as a sustainable and renewable resource for methyl ester production. with more than 95.5% production yield, thermally activated hydrated cement has been carefully discussed as a catalyst in the transesterification of used cooking oil into methyl ester to use waste cement as a heterogeneous catalyst for methyl ester production through elect...

Herein, we report on the development of a waste minimization/valorization methodology applied to representative benchmark Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction performed in continuous-flow reactor, featuring downstream membrane organic/aqueous separator recover medium and products with minimal waste. The protocol is based use biomass waste-derived heterogeneous Pd-based catalyst, which obtained f...
