Published: February 2002

Microwave-assisted preparation of dialkylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminates, [CnMIM][AlCl4] and their application as recyclable catalysts for the efficient and eco-friendly protection of alcohols as tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers are described. The same catalyst can also be utilized for the deprotection of THP ethers.

Impact of climate change that stems from gaseous emissions require sustainable materials to eliminate sulfur.  This study involves the modification of humic acid with magnetite nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄ NPs) by a microwave-assisted synthesis of an absorbent with reasonable pore volume and diameter for elimination of thiophenic compounds from fuel. The magnetic nano adsorbent designated Fe3O4@HA was characterized using advanced spectroscopic techniques, while their structure and morphology were analyzed through DLS, XPS, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, FESEM-EDX, VSM, and BET-N2 techniques.

Water-dispersible core/shell CuInZnSe/ZnS (CIZSe/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) were efficiently synthesized under microwave irradiation using -acetylcysteine (NAC) and sodium citrate as capping agents. The photoluminescence (PL) emission of CIZSe/ZnS QDs can be tuned from 593 to 733 nm with varying the Zn : Cu molar ratio in the CIZSe core. CIZSe/ZnS QDs prepared with a Zn : Cu ratio of 0.

Herein, a straightforward, productive protocol was adopted for the synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) by a simple microwave-assisted technique from (1 → 4), (1 → 6)-α-D-glucan polysaccharide (DAPS). The isolation and structural characterization of (1 → 4), (1 → 6)-α-D-glucan from the aqueous extracting of the Diascorea Alata was described here. The photo-physical and morphological studies of the prepared high quantum yield (27.

The characteristics and prospective applications of North Pacific krill chitin and chitosan are currently unexplored, and their conventional isolation method is time- and energy-consuming. In this study, chitin and chitosan were extracted from North Pacific krill using conventional and microwave-assisted methods, followed by comprehensive characterisation and evaluation of chitosan film potential. The extracted chitin was identified as an α-polymorph, and chitosan exhibited a remarkable degree of deacetylation (90 %) in both methods.

Cinnamon essential oil has gained widespread attention in the food industry as a safe and effective preservative. However, its low water solubility and high volatility limit its application in food, making the use of natural emulsifiers for its emulsification an increasingly popular focus of research. This study focuses on the extraction of galactomannan-rich aqueous extracts from Gleditsia sinensis seeds using a low-energy, low-pollution microwave-assisted method.
