Hydrodeoxygenation of Isoeugenol-Derived Model Compound over Carbon-Supported Pt and Pt-SnS Catalysts for the Production of Sustainable Jet Fuel.

This study focuses on the sustainable production of bio-jet fuel through the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of isoeugenol (IE). Sucrose-based activated carbon supported bimetallic Platinum-Tin metal sulphides (PtO-SnS/AC) catalyst was prepared for HDO process. Physicochemical properties of catalysts with different spraying synthesis methods (in situ and ex situ metal doping) and Pt loading (0.

Adsorption of metal porphyrins using chitosan/zeolite-X composite as an efficient demetallization agent for crude oil: Isotherm, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies.

Chitosan/zeolite-X (CHS/ZX) was synthesized to serve as an effective adsorbent for metal porphyrins through adsorption processes as an alternative to traditional separation methods from crude oil. The adsorption-desorption mechanisms of vanadyl and nickel tetraphenyl porphyrin (VO-TPP and Ni-TPP) were conducted on the model solution. Compared to individual components CHS and ZX, the CHS/ZX composite exhibited a doubled capacity for metal porphyrin removal.

Synthesis of mesoporous zeolite Y using extract as natural organic surfactant for deoxygenation of oil to biofuel.

Saponin is a plant-derived chemical with an amphiphilic glycoconjugate structure extracted from sapindaceae plants like . This study investigated saponin extract of as a natural template for formation of mesoporous zeolite Y. Surface area and mesoporosity of zeolite Y were improved with optimization of extract (SRE) concentration (Y-Ln; = 2, 5, 10 or 15 mL), reaching 216.

Direct synthesis of Fe-aluminosilicates from red mud for catalytic deoxygenation of waste cooking oil.

Conversion of red mud (RM) that contains a high level of silica, alumina and iron minerals into heterogenous catalysts, offers a route for the utilization of abundant toxic by-products of bauxite refining. In this study, the conversion of red mud into mesoporous Fe-aluminosilicate produced selective catalysts for the deoxygenation of waste cooking oil to green diesel hydrocarbons. Direct conversion of red mud in the presence cetyltrimethylammonium bromide into Fe-aluminosilicate (RM-CTA) produced a highly mesoporous structure with oligomeric FeO clusters within the pores.

Palladium Nanoparticles on Chitosan-Coated Superparamagnetic Manganese Ferrite: A Biocompatible Heterogeneous Catalyst for Nitroarene Reduction and Allyl Carbamate Deprotection.

Although metallic nanocatalysts such as palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) are known to possess higher catalytic activity due to their large surface-to-volume ratio, however, in nanosize greatly reducing their activity due to aggregation. To overcome this challenge, superparamagnetic chitosan-coated manganese ferrite was successfully prepared and used as a support for the immobilization of palladium nanoparticles to overcome the above-mentioned challenge. The Pd-Chit@MnFeO catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitroaniline reductions, with respective turnover frequencies of 357.
