Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was sulfonated at different temperature (OMC-SO3H-X, X = 125, 150, 175, 200, and 225 degrees C) in order to provide acid sites to OMC. Palladium catalysts were then supported on OMC-SO3H-X by an incipient wetness impregnation method for use in the catalytic decomposition of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran to monocyclic compounds. 2,3-Dihydrobenzofuran was used as a lignin model compound for representing β-5 linkage of lignin. In the catalytic decomposition of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran over Pd/OMC-SO3H-X, ethylcyclohexane and 2-ethlyphenol were mainly produced. Conversion of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran and total yield for main products (ethylcyclohexane and 2-ethylphenol) were closely related to the acidity of the catalysts. Conversion of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran and total. yield for main products increased with increasing acidity of Pd/OMC-SO3H-X catalysts. Among the catalysts tested, Pd/OMC-SO3H-150 with the largest acidity showed the highest conversion of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran and the highest total yield for main products.

In a previous study, we developed an integrated reaction system combining NH decomposition and CO methanation within a membrane reactor, significantly enhancing reactor performance through efficient H separation. Ru/Ba/γ-AlO and Ru/ZrO were employed as catalysts for each reaction. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of our results, they were validated through 1D models using FlexPDE Professional Version 7.

To enhance the energy release of Al powder in solid propellant, ploy (difluoroaminomethyl-3-methylethoxybutane) (PDF), which has difluoroamino (NF), was utilized to improve energy and promote combustion efficiency. In this study, Al with three distinct powder sizes (29 μm, 13 μm, and 1~3 μm) was coated with PDF using the solvent/non-solvent method, leading to the formation of Al/PDF composites. The morphology and characteristics of Al/PDF were then characterized.

We are facing a world-wide shortage of clean drinking water which will only be further exacerbated by climate change. The development of reliable and affordable methods for water remediation is thus of utmost importance. Chlorine (which forms active hypochlorites in solution) is the most commonly used disinfectant due to its reliability and low cost.

In this work, a novel V-g-CN/BiVO (V-CN/BVO) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was formed by introducing nitrogen vacancies (V) and constructing heterojunction, which is able to efficiently degrade the representative contaminant rhodamine B (RhB) upon exposure to visible-light, resulting in an outstanding degradation rate of 98.91% of RhB within 30 min. This photocatalyst exhibits catalytic universality and allows the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 97.

2-O-α-Glucosylglycerol (GG) is a natural heteroside synthesized by many cyanobacteria and a few heterotrophic bacteria under salt stress conditions. Bacteria produce GG in response to stimuli and degrade it once the stimulus diminishes. Heterotrophic bacteria utilize GG phosphorylase (GGP), a member of the GH13_18 family, via a two-step process consisting of phosphorolysis and hydrolysis for GG catabolism.
