Biomass derived P-containing activated carbon as a novel green catalyst/support for methanol conversion to dimethyl ether alternative fuel

Multi-element co-doped biomass porous carbon with uniform cellular pores as a supercapacitor electrode material to realise high value-added utilisation of agricultural waste

“…The absorption peaks at 1600 cm −1 and 2400 cm −1 can be attributed to OCO and asymmetric conjugated CN, respectively. In addition, the samples showed absorption peaks at 720 cm −1 and 853 cm −1 associated with the P–C and P–O groups of phosphate, respectively, 36 whereas the peaks near 1060 cm −1 were associated with B–C stretching vibrations. 37 Infrared tests showed the presence of major carbon-containing groups in the sample as well as groups containing elements related to B, N, and P, which can effectively increase the hydrophilicity and chemical stability of the material in electrolyte solutions.…”

Highly Selective Conversion of Isopropanol to Propene Over CeFeO3/Spherical Silica Nanocomposite

“…The current composite catalysts' catalytic performance was examined for the Vapor phase dehydration of isopropanol employing chromatographic analysis by FID with a Unicam Pro GC2000 [12,22,47]. In a typical experiment 300 mg using of catalyst, in the temperature range120-250 o C, air atmosphere as a carrier gas, and the total flow rate was 50 ml min -1 , 2.7 % isopropanol (IPA) in the gas feed and space-time (GHSV 10,000mlg -1 h -1 ).…”

“…Steam thermal cracking of naphtha, catalytic cracking of C4 alkenes [6], catalytic propene dehydrogenation [7], and catalytic dehydration of IPA [8,9] are the processes used in the industrial manufacture of propene. For catalytic dehydration of IPA to propene, solid acid catalysts for instanceWO3/ZrO2 [10], Al2O3-TiO2 [11], WO3/ACP [12], phosphate zeolite [13] and Fe2O3/Al2O3 [14] have been employed as catalyst. Significant thermal mechanical chemical properties, the surface characteristics, and morphology of SiO2 materials [15] succeed in the utilization of silica as catalyst support Therefore, Numerous heterogeneous catalysis methods have recently been investigated as prospective support catalysts for petrochemical, as well as petrochemical processes [16-18] and gas-liquid-phase oxidation processes [19].…”

A pronounce approach on the catalytic performance of mesoporous natural silica toward esterification of acetic acid with iso‐amyl, benzyl, and cinnamyl alcohols

“…The acidity of natural silica catalysts was examined adopting a dehydration of IPA and the chemisorption of basic probes such as PY and 2,6-DMPY. The detailed procedures are formerly defined by Said et al [31][32][33][34][35][36]…”
