Selective Oxidation of Cyclohexene over the Mesoporous H-Beta Zeolite on Copper/Nickel Bimetal Catalyst in Continuous Reactor.

The copper/nickel-metal on commercial H-Beta zeolite supports was synthesized with different wt % (Ni) of 5, 10, 15, and 20, and was used in the cyclohexene epoxidation process. The synthesized catalyst has been used in a continuous reactor for the cyclohexene epoxidation process, with mild conditions and HO as an oxidant. The catalytic performance was ascertained by adjusting parameters such as the temperature, pressure, WHSV, reaction time, and solvents.

Sustainable biofuel synthesis from non-edible oils: a mesoporous ZSM-5/Ni/Pt catalyst approach.

This work examines the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity of non-edible oils using a high surface area catalyst. The HDO activity was thoroughly examined and contrasted using the high surface area catalyst Ni/Pt-ZSM-5 as well as other supports like MCM-48 and H-beta. Ni/Pt bimetals supported on mesoporous ZSM-5 were created reverse order impregnation to facilitate HDO of non-edible oils.

Ni-Fe bimetallic catalysts with high dispersion supported by SBA-15 evaluated for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde.

A wetness impregnation method was used to impregnate the substrate with a substantial quantity of oleic acid together with a metal precursor, leading to significantly dispersed Ni-Fe bimetallic catalysts based on mesoporous SBA-15. Using a wide variety of characterization methods, such as XRD, BET, and TEM Analysis, the physiochemical properties of the catalyst were determined. The addition of the metal does not have any effect on the structural characteristics of the SBA-15 catalyst, as validated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which shows that the prepared SBA-15 supported catalyst has a hexagonal mesoporous structure.

Comparative risk assessment studies estimating the hazard posed by long-term consumption of PPCPs in river water.

This study assesses the risk due to Emerging Contaminants (ECs), present in Indian rivers - Ganga (650 million inhabitants), Yamuna (57 million inhabitants), and Musi (7,500,000 inhabitants), 13 ECs in total, have been used for risk assessment studies. Their concentrations (e.g.

Isomerization of C and C through Ionic Liquids Supported by a Fe/SBA-15 Catalyst.

Isomerization is extensively utilized in the petroleum industry, and this study demonstrates an energy-efficient process utilizing an ionic liquid catalyst. 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate [Emim][TFO] as an ionic liquid was immobilized on solid support Fe/SBA-15. Variants of the catalyst were developed with the Fe constant at 5% and different ratios of ionic liquid.

Long-term impacts of climate change on coastal and transitional eco-systems in India: an overview of its current status, future projections, solutions, and policies.

Urbanization and industrial development are increasing rapidly. These are accompanied by problems of population explosion, encroachment of agricultural, and construction lands, increased waste generation, effluent release, and escalated concentrations of several greenhouse gases (GHGs) and pollutants in the atmosphere. This has led to wide-scale adverse impacts.

Cytotoxic, Antidiabetic, and Antioxidant Study of Biogenically Improvised and Chitosan-Assisted Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles.

In the present study, we have improvised a biogenic method to fabricate zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using chitosan and an aqueous extract of the leaves of . Characterization of the fabricated products was carried out with the help of ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray analyses. The size of the improvised ZnO NP measured between 20 and 70 nm and had a spherical and hexagonal shape.

Recent advances in the synthesis and applications of mordenite zeolite - review.

Among the many industrially important zeolites, mordenite is found to be interesting because of its unique and exceptional physical and chemical properties. Mordenite (high silica zeolite) is generally prepared by the hydrothermal method using TEA cations. TEA cations are the best templating agent, though they can create a number of issues, for instance, generating poison and high manufacturing cost, wastewater contamination, and environmental pollution.

Combustion and emission analysis of hydrogenated waste polypropylene pyrolysis oil blended with diesel.

Petroleum-based plastic pyrolysis oil contains unsaturated compounds, and the presence of these compounds makes the produced fuel unsuitable for combustion in diesel engines. Hydrogenation of pyrolysis oil is performed to convert unsaturated compounds to saturated compounds. Past studies have shown that hydrogenation of petroleum-based plastic pyrolysis oil is viable; however, its combustion and emissions analysis in diesel engines has not yet been reported.
