The pod-shaped TiO 2 nano burst tubes (TiO 2 NBTs) were prepared by the combination of electrospinning and impregnation calcination with oxalic acid (H 2 C 2 O 4 ), polystyrene (PS) and tetrabutyl titanate. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were loaded onto the surface of TiO 2 NBTs by ultraviolet light reduction method to prepare pod-shaped Ag@TiO 2 NBTs. In this work, we analysed the effect of the amount of oxalic acid on the cracking degree of TiO 2 NBTs; the effect of the concentration of AgNO 3 solution on the particle size and loading of AgNPs on the surface of TiO 2 NBTs. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy investigated the surface morphology of samples. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterized the structure and composition of samples. Rhodamine B (RhB) solution was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of pod-shaped TiO 2 NBTs and Ag@TiO 2 NBTs. The results showed that TiO 2 NBTs degraded 91.0% of RhB under ultraviolet light, Ag@TiO 2 NBTs degraded 95.5% under visible light for 75 and 60 min, respectively. The degradation process of both samples was consistent with the Langmuir–Hinshelwood first-order kinetic equation. Therefore, the catalytic performance of the sample is: Ag@TiO 2 NBTs > TiO 2 NBTs > TiO 2 nanotubes.

AbstractInfluence of dealumination of zeolite ZSM-22 (Si/Al ratio of 45) by treating it with oxalic acid on its catalytic performance in n-hexadecane hydroisomerization reaction was studied. This reaction is an attempt in the direction of green and sustainable source of diesel via improving the cold-flow properties of deoxygenated vegetable oils. Pt (0.5 wt%) on ZSM-22 treated with 1 M oxalic acid afforded highest yields of the mono-branched paraffins. This improved is attributed to selective removal of active sites on external surface of zeolite crystals (responsible for undesired cracking reactions) using the bulkier dealuminating agent, oxalic acid. Thus, pore-mouth key-lock mechanism was brought to play the role to cause high selectivity to mono-branched isomers. Preferential external site deactivation was inferred from mesitylene cracking results. Effects of operating parameters such as temperature, and space velocity on product distribution also were studied. Also, kinetics of the reactions involved too has been in brief reported.

AbstractLayered zeolites and their delaminated structures are novel materials that enhance the catalytic performance of catalysts by addressing diffusion limitations of the reactant molecules. n-Hexane catalytic cracking was observed over MCM-22 layered zeolite and its derivative structures over the temperature range of 450–650 °C for the production of olefins. MCM-22, H-MCM-22, and ITQ-2 zeolites were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Oxalic acid was used as a dealuminating reagent to obtain H-MCM-22 with various Si/Al ratios ranging from 09–65. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, and BET. The cracking of n-hexane was carried out by Pyro/GC–MS. It was observed that the selectivity for olefins was improved by increasing the Si/Al ratio. H-MCM-22–10% produced the highest relative olefinic concentration of 68% as compared to other dealuminated structures. Moreover, the product distribution showed that higher reaction temperature is favorable to produce more olefins. Furthermore, a comparison between ITQ-2 and MCM-22 derived structures showed that ITQ-2 is more favorable for olefins production at high temperatures. The concentration of relative olefins was increased up to 80% over ITQ-2 at 650 °C.

The first transition metal series TM–PP monolayer catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance during the process of electroreduction of CO2. The products have 2e− CO (Sc, Mn and Ni), HCOOH (Cr, Fe, Co, Cu and Zn), 8e− CH4 (Ti and V), and the overpotential of the reaction can be as low as 0.127 V.

Cu ions occupy the octahedral sites of the ferrite sub-lattice and present a synergistic effect due to the formation of Cu–Co and Cu–Fe ion pairs which triggers the catalytic performance of CoCu0.2Fe1.8O4 ferrite nanoparticles.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of clinoptilolite dealumination on the total oxidation of toluene was reported for the first time. To avoid excess decrease of catalyst crystallinity, chemical modification of zeolite was carried out using a mild acid like oxalic acid. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, BET and TPD analyses. It was found that dealumination resulted in a significant enhancement of toluene conversion when 0.050 M acid oxalic was used for a treatment period of 2 h. Dealumination substantially changed the distribution of the concentration of acid sites of different strength and increased the surface area and porosity, so that the temperature corresponding to the maximum conversion shifts around 50 °C towards lower temperatures (in case of CLP 050). The effect of dealumination on the activity of the zeolite samples and the total oxidation of toluene was discussed in terms of Si/Al ratio, crystallinity, distribution of acid site strength and textural characteristics of the samples.

Schumacher and Halbsguth first demonstrated ectodesmata as pores or channels in the epidermal cell walls in haustoria of Cuscuta odorata L. by light microscopy in tissues fixed in a sublimate fixative (30% ethyl alcohol, 30 ml:glacial acetic acid, 10 ml: 65% nitric acid, 1 ml: 40% formaldehyde, 5 ml: oxalic acid, 2 g: mecuric chloride to saturation 2-3 g). Other workers have published electron micrographs of structures transversing the outer epidermal cell in thin sections of plant leaves that have been interpreted as ectodesmata. Such structures are evident following treatment with Hg++ or Ag+ salts and are only rarely observed by electron microscopy. If ectodesmata exist without such treatment, and are not artefacts, they would afford natural pathways of entry for applied foliar solutions and plant viruses.
