Abstract

The cyclocondensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine and acetone in the presence of treated natural zeolite catalyst (TNZ) under solvent-free condition has been done. The research consisted of three steps. The first step was treatment of natural zeolite by mixing this material in hydrochloric acid solution at 50 °C for 1 hour to be followed by soaking the zeolite in ammonium chloride solution for 5 days. The second step was solvent-free condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine and acetone using TNZ at 50 °C for 2 hours with weight ratio variation of catalyst, i.e. 15, 30, 45, and 60% (wt/wt). The third step was to study catalyst reusability for the condensation reaction. Based on TLC, FTIR, and 1H NMR analyses, the condensation afforded 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine as the product in 73% yield with the optimum of catalyst loading at 30% (wt/wt). The reusability test showed that the catalyst can be reused for the cyclocondensation for four times.

Abstract

Large amounts of residual 1-methylnaphthalene are generated when 2-methylnaphthalene is extracted from alkyl naphthalene. In order to transform waste into assets, this study proposes a feasible process for preparing 2-methylnaphthalene from 1-methylnaphthalene through isomerization and crystallization. The 1-methylnaphthalene isomerization was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor over mixed acids-treated HBEA zeolite. The results showed that acidic properties of catalysts and reaction temperature were associated with the 2-methylnaphthalene selectivity, yield and catalytic stability. At a high reaction temperature of 623 K, the 2-methylnaphthalene yield was 65.84 %, and the deactivation rate was much lower. The separation of reaction products was then investigated by two consecutive crystallization processes. Under optimal conditions, the 2-methylnaphthalene purity attained 96.67 % in the product, while the yield was 87.48 % in the refining process.

Abstract

In this work, dynamic simulation at particle scale is carried out to predict the kinetics of solid catalyzed esterification reaction between acetic acid and methanol to produce methyl acetate and water. The reaction kinetic data utilized for modeling and validation is with solid catalyst as Indion 180. It was observed that the reaction rate and kinetics inside the pores of the catalyst is of higher magnitude as compared to bulk liquid. Each solid catalyst particle is surrounded by reactant solution of equal volume. A dynamic simulation is carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics which has solver for diffusion-reaction equation for both in liquid phase and inside porous catalyst particle. The intrinsic reaction rate constants for bulk liquid phase and inside the particle are obtained by solving the full diffusion-reaction equation and optimization method. Three different models (model 1,2,3) were proposed for evaluating the rate constants from the experimental kinetic data. The three models differ in the way the boundary condition of acetic acid concentration is defined at the interface of a catalyst particle and its immediate surrounding liquid. The different models originated based on the possibility of numerical solution to partial differential equations pertaining to particle scale catalytic reactions as distributed parameter models by various software such as MATLAB and COMSOL multiphysics. They also differ in the way the initial kinetics is utilized in evaluating the rate constants for outside and inside the catalyst particle. One of the proposed models (model 3) has shown good agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract

The catalytic efficiency of silver nanoparticles supported on chitosan as a green, robust, and efficient nanocatalyst for the direct synthesis of biologically active compounds, such as: imidazole derivatives as well as pyrazine scaffolds through multi-component reactions strategy, have been demonstrated. In this work, imidazole derivatives were achieved via pseudo four-component reactions by utilization of benzaldehydes, benzils, anilines, and ammonium acetate under solvent-free conditions. Moreover, pyrazine scaffolds were synthesized through a three-component reaction of phenylenediamine derivatives, isocyanides and various ketones in water. The main advantages of this protocol are the  reusability of the catalyst, operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and high-yielding.

Abstract

The metal complex catalysis with participation of unsaturated hydrocarbons gains great interest because of ecological aspect and a possibility of re-using of the catalyst. It has a number of advantages in comparison with a heterogeneous catalysis, such as high activity and selectivity, low temperatures of reaction and pressure. A palladium-polyvinylpyrrolidone complex was synthesized and characterized by potentiometry, conductometry, mass-, and IR-spectroscopy. The complex was tested for catalytic activity in reaction of octene-1 oxidation by inorganic oxidizers (KIO4, NaBrO3, Na2S2O8, K2S2O8) in dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide under mild conditions. The reaction product was octanone-2, obtained in good yield (80-98 %) and characterized by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The catalysts can be easily recycled five consecutive runs without significant loss of catalytic efficiency. The use of different surface analysis techniques, such as: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), led to a better understanding of the polymer promoting effect.

Abstract

The new kinetics equation has been proposed and applied to the sorption of Cd(II) and Zn(II) onto green sorbent horse dung humic acid (HD-HA). This work aims to study the new kinetics equation and to compare its parameters with Lagergren and Ho kinetics equation in the same system. HD-HA was extracted and purified by Stevenson’s methods and then characterized by detection of its functional group, UV-Vis spectra, and total acidity. The sorption study of this work was investigated by batch experiment in pH optimum 5. Langmuir’s monolayer sorption capacity (b) of Cd(II) and Zn(II) onto HD-HA was 1.329×10-3 and 1.070×10-3 mole.g-1, respectively. Langmuir equilibrium constant (KL) of Cd(II) and Zn(II) sorption was 5,651 and 6,399 (mole/L)-1, respectively. The kinetics parameters were determined by Lagergren, Ho, and the new kinetics equation. The best linearity (R2) and the most fitted sorbed metal ion in equilibrium (xe) with the experimental data was the Ho kinetics equation. However, the correct value of sorption rate constant (ka) was not really known, because the ka resulted from Ho and Lagergren kinetics equation can not be compared with another parameter and there is no scale to measure the correctness of this value of ka. In this work, the correctness value of ka of the new kinetics equation can be measured by ka/kd equal to K, and this K should be equal to KL. The values of K of Cd(II) (3,452 (mole/L)-1) and and Zn(II) (10,898 (mole/L)-1) were quite similar with KL. Additionally, the value of intercept from linear regression of this new kinetics equation (Cd(II) = 6.8517; Zn(II) = 6.0408) was highly similar with the manually calculation of       -ln(xe/ab) (Cd(II) = 7.0638; Zn(II) = 6.9838). These new kinetics equations also reveal that Lagergren sorption rate constant (kLag) is the complex function of ka(ab-xe2)/xe).

Abstract

The present research focuses on elucidating of the impact of Lewis acids including AlCl3 and FeCl2 addition on catalytic behaviors during ethylene polymerization and ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization over the TiCl4/MgCl2/THF catalyst (Cat. A). In this study, the Cat. A with the absence and presence of Lewis acids was synthesized via the chemical route. Then, all catalyst samples were characterized and tested in the slurry polymerization. For ethylene polymerization, using the Cat. A with the presence of AlCl3 apparently gave the highest activity among other catalysts. In addition, the activity of catalysts tended to increase with the presence of the Lewis acids. This can be attributed to an enhancement of active center distribution by the addition of Lewis acids leading to larger amounts of the isolated Ti species. Moreover, with the presence of Lewis acids, the effect of hydrogen on the decreased activity was also less pronounced. Considering ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization, it revealed that the catalyst with the presence of mixed Lewis acids (AlCl3 + FeCl2) exhibited the highest activity. It is suggested that the presence of mixed Lewis acids possibly caused a change in acidity of active sites, which is suitable for copolymerization. However, activities of all catalysts in ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization were lower than those in ethylene polymerization. The effect of hydrogen on the decreased activity for both polymerization and copolymerization system was found to be similar with the presence of Lewis acids. Based on this study, it is quite promising to enhance the catalytic activity by addition of proper Lewis acids, especially when the pressure of hydrogen increases. The characteristics of polymers obtained upon the presence of Lewis acids will be discussed further in more detail.

Abstract

N-doped carbon materials (NCMs) are generally used as electrode materials, and seldom used as catalysts in chemical reaction. In this work, NCMs were prepared by high-temperature pyrolysis using monosodium glutamate as sources of both carbon and nitrogen, magnesium acetate as a porogen, and nickel hydroxide as a graphitization catalyst. The catalytic performance of NCMs was investigated in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) with potassium borohydride at 30 ºC. As metal-free catalysts, all of the NCMs can catalyze the reaction. The graphitization degree and N-doped amount of NCM have a great influence on the catalytic activity. The NCM annealed at 800 ºC has higher activity and stability. The reaction rate constant can reach 0.57 min-1, and the activation energy was about 36.4 kJ/mol.

Abstract

In the present work, several parameters affecting on the catalytic behavior were studied in the process of partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde, such as: Mo/Fe ratio in unsupported catalysts, weight percent of the metallic phase in the supported catalysts, the effect of different supports, the method of Mo-Fe deposition on the supports, and the stability of the prepared catalysts against coke. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, and Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS) methods. The best results (the methanol conversion = 97 % and formaldehyde selectivity = 96 %) were obtained for Mo-Fe/g-Al2O3 prepared by co-precipitation method with Mo/Fe = 1.7, 50 wt.% of Fe-Mo phase, 2 mL/h methanol flow rate, and 120 mL/min air flow rate at 350 oC.

Abstract

A new calcium(II) complex was synthesized by one-pot synthesis method from disodium 4-formylbenzene-1,3-disulfonate, isonicotinic acid hydrazide and Ca(ClO4)2•2H2O. The structure of calcium(II) complex was determined by elemental analysis, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results show that the Ca(II) complex molecules form 3D network structure by the interactions of π-π stacking and hydrogen bonds. The Ca(II) complex catalyst could efficiently catalyse oxidation of benzylic alcohol with good conversion of benzyl alcohol (78 %) and excellent selectivity of benzaldehyde (98 %).
