Abstract:The catalytic transformation of ortho-(o-NP), meta-(m-NP) and para-nitrophenols (p-NP) by Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) stabilised on zeolite A4 (ZA4) is presented for the first time. The catalysts are prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis (Ag/ZA4-MW) or ion exchange (Ag/ZA4-IE). The results indicate that the nitrophenol reduction rate depends on the molecule structure and the presence of low-coordinated metallic Ag-NPs (~2 nm and sub nanometric species). Meanwhile, the reactivity tendency depends on the synthe… Show more
