This study highlights that Fe additives offer better catalytic properties than carbon, Fe-C (iron carbide/carbon composites), and Fe-Mg (Mg FeH ) additives for the low-temperature dehydrogenation of magnesium hydride. The in situ X-ray diffraction measurements prove the formation of a Mg FeH phase in iron additive loaded MgH . Nonetheless, differential scanning calorimetry data suggest that this Mg FeH phase does not have any influence on dehydrogenation properties of MgH . On the other hand, the composite system Mg FeH /MgH shows significantly improved dehydrogenation properties even in absence of further additives. It is suggested that the improved system performance of Fe loaded MgH is attributed to restrictions on crystal growth of MgH and the catalytic behavior of Fe nanoparticles, rather than any intrinsic catalytic properties offered by the formed mixed metal phase Mg FeH .

The significance of the nonoxidative dehydrogenation of middle-chain alkanes into corresponding alkenes is increasing in the context of the world's declining demands on transportation fuels and the growing demand for chemicals and materials. The middle-chain alkenes derived from the dehydrogenation reaction can be transformed into value-added chemicals in downstream processes. Due to the presence of multiple potential reaction sites, the reaction mechanism of the dehydrogenation of middle-chain alkanes is more complicated than that in the dehydrogenation of light alkanes, and there are few prior studies on elucidating their detailed structure-reactivity relationship.

Direct conversion of point-source CO into fine chemicals over cooperative and bifunctional materials (BFMs) - composed of adsorbents and catalysts - has emerged as a promising approach to improve the energy efficiency of the carbon capture and conversion processes. In this study, a bifunctional material consisting of CrO/ZSM-5 catalyst and CaO adsorbent was developed and tested in the CO-oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (CO-ODHP) for reactive capture of CO in a fixed bed reactor. First, CaO was prepared using two distinct methods: solid-state and citrate sol-gel.

In this study, a novel cellulose-derived support of amino-functionalized cellulose beads (ACBs) for laccase immobilization was successfully developed using cellulose beads (CBs) and polyethyleneimine by glutaraldehyde crosslinking reaction. The covalent immobilization of laccase on ACBs was achieved via a Schiff base reaction. The obtained enzyme catalysts (Lac-ACBs) were applied for simultaneous adsorption and enzymatic conversion of tetracycline (TC) from water.
