Coordination-driven innovations in low-energy catalytic processes: Advancing sustainability in chemical production

Sustainable syngas generation from methane: enhanced catalysis with metal-promoted nickel on silica–alumina composites

“…Aer measuring the rate constant at various temperatures, a straight line is obtained by plotting ln(k) versus 1/T. As is shown in eqn (14), the slope represents −E a /R, and the intercept stands for the ln of the pre-exponential factor (A). R is the universal gas constant (R = 8.314 J mol −1 ).…”

“…In addition, it is crucial to develop catalysts that can remain active and stable at lower operating temperatures (approximately 650–750 °C). 14 The catalysts that are to be developed must also be resistant to deactivation mechanisms such as sintering and coke formation, which can reduce their efficiency significantly over time. 15,16 …”

Novel Approach to Photocatalytic Removal of Linezolid by Advanced Nano-Biochar/Bismuth Oxychloride Hybrid

“…Traditional treatment technologies, such as activated sludge, precipitation, and membrane filtration, have proven ineffective against such contaminants due to their high operational costs and suboptimal removal efficiencies. − Consequently, the exploration of cost-effective and efficient alternatives has led to the adoption of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including photocatalysis, as promising solutions . Despite their potential, conventional AOPs like ozonation and electrochemical oxidation are hampered by issues such as sludge production, toxic byproducts, and prohibitive costs. , Further, the electrochemical oxidation process has some shortcomings, such as the high cost of electrodes and the generation of sludge .…”
