In this work, a novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquid namely triethylaminium-N-sulfonic acid trifluoroacetate {[TEASA][TFA]} has been synthesized by the reaction of NEt3 with ClSO3H, and then with CF3CO2H. The ionic liquid has been characterized by studying its spectroscopic data (1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR, and mass spectra). Afterward, it has been utilized as a highly effective and general catalyst to promote the following organic reactions in solvent-free conditions: (i) the production of 1-thioamidoalkyl-2-naphthols from arylaldehydes, 2-naphthol and thioacetamide, and (ii) the preparation of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes from arylaldehydes and 2-naphthol. It is noteworthy that [TEASA][TFA] has catalyzed the reactions under milder conditions relative to most of the reported methods. Moreover, it afforded the both products in higher yields with respect to most of the previous works. Copyright © 2018 BCREC Group.

The oxidative methanol reforming reaction was carried out using Cu/ZnO/Al2O3/Cr2O3/CeO2 (15/15/2.5/1.25/1.25 mol%), with washcoat by EC sol on microchannel reactor. The experimental conditions were used various sol for washcoat of catalyst, various method for calcinations of catalyst, steam to methanol mole ratio, the mole ratio of oxygen to methanol, weight hourly space velocity, reaction temperature. The experiment result shows that methanol conversion achieved 98.8 % and carbon    monoxide concentration equal to 1204 ppm when using Cu/ZnO/Al2O3/Cr2O3/CeO2 (15/15/2.5/1.25/1.25 mol%) catalyst mixed with EC sol at the reaction temperature of 200 oC.

Bio-Jet could be produced by the synthesis of vegetable oil through the hydrodeoxygenation, decarboxylation, decarbonization, and catalytic cracking process. Physical characteristics, activities, and selectivity of the catalyst used will determine the rate, conversion, and yield of the reaction that being carried out. This study aims to compare and obtain the best characteristics of NiMoP/γ-Al2O3 catalysts synthesized using two types of preparation, impregnation and microwave polyol methods, which will be used for bio-jet production. The impregnation method takes more than 24 hours for catalyst preparation, while microwave polyols that use microwaves can synthesize catalysts faster. Both catalysts have almost the same loading on the weight of the catalyst, which in the microwave polyol method has a more dispersed promotor and active site, although the crystallinity level is deficient and tends to be amorphous compared to the impregnation method with high crystallinity. In bio-jet synthesis reaction with operating conditions of 5% catalyst loading by comparison to Coconut Oil, 400°C, and 15 bar, the conversion, yield, and selectivity of catalyst impregnation were 91.705%, 47.639%, and 84.511%, while microwave polyol catalysts were 90.296%, 42.752%, and 82.517%, respectively. In conclusion, microwave polyol provides a more effective and efficient preparation method.

Slaughterhouse waste is considered to be an emerging issue because of its disposal cost. As an alternative, it would be a great prospect for the bioeconomy society to explore new usages of these leftover materials. As per food safety rules mentioned by EU legislation, all bone waste generated by slaughterhouses ought to be disposed of by rendering. The huge quantity of worldwide bone waste generation (130 billion kilograms per annum) is an environmental burden if not properly managed. The waste animal bones can be efficiently employed as a heterogeneous catalyst to produce biodiesel. This mini review summarized the recent literature reported for biodiesel generation using waste animal bones derived heterogeneous catalyst. It discusses the sources of bone waste, catalyst preparation methods, particularly calcination and its effects, and important characteristics of bones derived catalyst. It suggests that catalysts extracted from waste animal bones have suitable catalytic activity in transesterification of different oil sources to generate a good quality biodiesel.

In the last two decades, scientific methodologies for the prediction of the design, performance and classification of fragrance mixtures have been developed at the Laboratory of Separation and Reaction Engineering. This review intends to give an overview of such developments. It all started with the question: what do we smell? The Perfumery Ternary Diagram enables us to determine the dominant odor for each perfume composition. Evaporation and 1D diffusion model is analyzed based on vapor-liquid equilibrium and Fick’s law for diffusion giving access to perfume performance parameters. The effect of matrix and skin is addressed and the trail of perfumes analyzed. Classification of perfumes with the perfumery radar is discussed. The methodology is extended to flavor and taste engineering. Finally, future research directions are suggested.
