Promoted Cu/ZnO catalyst was synthesized on Al2O3-ZrO2 support. Effects of calcination conditions on the catalytic performance in a CO2 hydrogenation reaction were studied systematically using the response surface methodology (RSM). The application of RSM with rotatable central composite design (RCCD) for optimization on the influence of catalyst’s calcination variables on the CO2 conversion and methanol selectivity is presented. The calcination variables studied include temperature, A (181–518 °C), ramping rate, B (1–30 °C/min), and duration, C (1–7 h). From the RSM-generated model, the optimum calcination condition for this catalyst was 350 °C with 17.5 °C/min ramping rate for a 4 h duration. At the optimum calcination condition, the catalyst exhibited a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 147 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.31 cm3/g, and a pore diameter of 8.1 nm.

Porous activated carbon was prepared from orange wastes using zinc chloride as an activating agent by one-step carbonization method. Effects of impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature and heat preservation time on pore characteristics of activated carbon were studied. The porous structures of the orange wastes activated carbon were investigated by BET, D-R equations, BJH equations and Kelvin theory. The morphology was observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mesoporous activated carbon is gained when the impregnation ratio is 3:1; the carbonization temperature is 550°Cand heat preservation time is 1.0 h. The activated carbon has total pore volume 2.098 cm3/g, mesoporous pore volume 1.438 cm3/g, with a high BET surface area 1476m2/g. The pore distribution of the mesoporous activated carbon is very concentrative, with average pore diameter of 3.88nm. While, the high specific surface area activated carbon is gained when the impregnation ratio is 2:1; the carbonization temperature is 550°Cand heat preservation time is 1.0 h. The activated carbon has high BET surface area 1909 m2/g, while the total pore volume is only 1.448cm3/g and microporous pore volume is 0.889cm3/g, with average pore diameter of 2.29 nm.

Mesostructured nickel phosphate was synthesized with urea as alkali by sol-gel method. The obtained material nominated as NiPO-3 was characterized by means of XRD, ICP, FT-IR, TEM, and N2 adsorption. In contrast to mesoporous nickel phosphate NiPO-1 and NiPO-2 we reported before, NiPO-3 exhibits relatively longer nanotubes reached up to 400~600 nm. N2 adsorption shows that NiPO-3 possesses high BET surface area (345.8 m2g-1) and pore volume (0.46 cm3g-1). The catalytic performance of NiPO-3 showed that the total selectivity of epoxycyclohexane and hexadienol was as high as 83.38%.

Nickel phyllosilicates have attracted much attention owing to their potential applications in various fields. Herein, Ni3Si4O10(OH)2 porous microspheres (NiSi-PMs) with a diameter of 1.2 to 3.2 μm were successfully fabricated via a urea-assisted hydrothermal method, and subsequently used to prepare supported Pd catalyst. Characterizations of the NiSi-PMs and the obtained catalyst, combined with the catalytic performance for the hydrogenation reaction, are presented and discussed. The BET surface area and pore volume of the NiSi-PMs were 196.2 m2 g−1 and 0.70 cm3 g−1, respectively. The Pd/NiSi-PMs catalyst exhibited remarkable catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of styrene under mild conditions, with a turnover frequency of 5234 h−1, and the catalyst was recovered and recycled for six consecutive cycles without any discernible loss of activity. H2-TPR and H2-TPD revealed that the activity of the catalysts was closely related to the adsorption property for hydrogen. The present Ni3Si4O10(OH)2 supported Pd catalyst afforded a promising and competitive candidate for heterogeneous catalysis.

Changes of the morphology and pore structure of old corrugated container (OCC) fibers during an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) sizing process were studied. The resulting samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, and BET surface area analysis. The length of fibers had obvious influence on the AKD sizing effect, and the length of fibers ranged from 100 to 200 meshes showed the best sizing performance. The surface roughness of 0.3% AKD sizing OCC fibers decreased from 27.949 nm to 12.811 nm. Compared with the control sample, the pore volume of fibers sized with 0.1% AKD decreased 4.3% when the average pore diameter was fixed at 2.4~3.0 nm. And when the usage of AKD increased to 0.3% and 0.5%, the pore volume decreased 1.4% and 6.3% accordingly. The decrease in the pore volume of AKD-sized fiber indicated the penetration and deposition of dispersed particles of AKD in the fiber lumens.

Mitigation of Anthropogenic CO2 emissions possess a major global challenge for modern societies. Herein catalytic solutions are meant to play a key role. Among the different catalysts for CO2 conversion Cu supported on molybdenum carbide is receiving increasing attention. Hence, in the present communication we show the activity, selectivity and stability of fresh-prepared -Mo2C catalysts and compare the results with those of Cu/Mo2C, Cs/Mo2C and Cu/Cs/Mo2C in CO2 hydrogenation reactions. The results showed that all the catalysts were active and the main reaction product was methanol. The results showed that copper-cesium and molybdenum effectively interact and that cesium promoted the formation of metallic Mo. While, the incorporation of copper is positive to improve the activity and selectivity to methanol, the presence of Mo0 phase was detrimental for the conversion and selectivity. Moreover, the catalysts promoted by cesium underwent redox surface transformations during the reaction that diminished their catalytic performance. The molybdenum phase in Cu/Mo2C changes during reaction leading to metallic molybdenum and tuning the catalytic activity.

A group of silica-ionic liquid supported Ru-based catalysts was synthesized and further utilized for CO2 hydrogenation reaction. All the materials were properly analyzed in terms of their physicochemical properties. The physiochemical impacts of different functionalized and non-functionalized ionic liquid over the synthesis, size, and stability of Ru NPs along with their effect on the rate of hydrogenation reaction were investigated. The Ru-[DAMI][NTf2] (1:10)@SiO2 furnished the best catalytic performance in CO2 conversion to formic acid under high-pressure reaction condition. The results confirmed the impact of ionic liquids as a repellent to avoid agglomeration and oxidation of the Ru nanoparticles followed by space resistance and electrostatic protection. Hence, such influence positively begins the rate of reaction as well as the selectivity of the process. Good physiochemical stability of catalyst in terms of 7-time catalyst recycling and easy product/catalyst isolation make this protocol near to the principal of sustainable chemistry.

This study investigates the effect of enzyme formulations (Zympex-014, Kemzyme dry-plus and Natuzyme) on recovery of phenolics from Peganum hermala (harmal) leaves, under optimized conditions using response surface methodology. As compared to the other enzyme complexes, the yield (34 g/100g) obtained through Zympex-014-assisted extraction was higher under optimized conditions such as time (75 min), temperature (70°C), pH (6.5) and enzyme concentration (5 g/100 g) using central composite design (CCD). Effectiveness of Zympex-014 towards hydrolysis of P. hermala leaves cell wall was examined by analyzing the control and enzyme-treated leave residues using scanning electron microscope (SEM). GC/MS characterization authenticated the presence of quercetin (1.44), gallic acid (0.23), caffeic acid (0.04), cinnamic acid (0.05), m-coumaric acid (0.23) and p-coumaric acid (0.37 μg/g) as the potent phenolics in Zympex-014 based extract. It can be concluded from the findings of the current work that pre-treatment of P. hermala leaves with Zympex-014 significantly enhanced the recovery of phenolics that supports its potential uses in the nutra-pharamaceutical industry.

Desulfurisation of atmospheric distillation gasoline and gas oil was performed by adsorption process on Fe/ bentonite. The adsorbent was characterized by determining the adsorption isotherms, specific surface area, pore volume and average pore diameter. Adsorption experiments of atmospheric distillation gasoline and gas oil were performed in continuous system at 280�320oC, 5 atm and volume hourly space velocities of 1�2 h-1. The efficiency of adsorption on Fe / bentonite was better at desulphurisation of gasoline versus gas oil.
