Abstract A series of active and selective MCM-41 supported catalysts have been successfully prepared and used for bioderived glycerol esterification with acetic acid to produce fuel additives. In the synthesis of MCM-41, an acidic hydrothermal synthesis route was used, and silicotungstic acid (STA) and zirconia (ZrO2) were added to the catalyst structure by wet impregnation. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption methods, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis were used for characterizations of the catalysts. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy analyses of pyridine-adsorbed catalysts owns Lewis and Brønsted acidity hosting in one, which promotes the esterification reaction of glycerol into glycerol esters with high selectivity. Esterification of glycerol reactions were performed at temperature intervals of 105°C–200°C, with an amount of catalyst equal to 0.5 g, and glycerol/acetic acid molar ratio of 1:6 in a stirred autoclave reactor operated batchwise. STA and ZrO2-impregnated MCM-41 catalysts showed better performance with a complete glycerol conversion and high selectivity to triacetin.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology is extensively used in the global planarization of highly value-added and large components in the aerospace industry. A nanopowder of SiO2was prepared by the sol-gel method and was compounded into polishing slurry for the CMP of steel substrate. The size of the SiO2abrasives was controlled by varying the sol-gel reaction conditions. The polishing efficacy of nano-SiO2was studied, and the CMP mechanism with nanosized abrasives was further investigated. The proposed methods can produce SiO2abrasives whose size can be controlled by varying the sol-gel reaction conditions. The size of the SiO2abrasives was controlled in the range from 58 to 684 nm. The roughness of the steel substrate strongly depends on the size of the abrasive, and the surface roughness decreases as the abrasive size declines. A super-smooth surface with a roughness of 8.4 nm is obtained with nanosized SiO2. Ideal CMP slurry can be used to produce material surfaces with low roughness, excellent global planarization, high selectivity, an excellent finish, and a low-defected rate.

Value-added utilization of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce useful derivatives is of great interest. In this work, extremely radiation resistant Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12 was explored for the first time as a new robust biocatalyst for selective oxidation of HMF to 5-hydroxymethylfuroic acid (HMFCA). Its resting cells exhibited excellent catalytic performance in a broad range of pH and temperature values, and extremely high tolerance to HMF and the HMFCA product. An excellent yield of HMFCA (up to 90%) was achieved when the substrate concentration was set to 300 mM under the optimized reaction conditions. In addition, 511 mM of product was obtained within 20 h by employing a fed-batch strategy, affording a productivity of 44 g/L per day. Of significant synthetic interest was the finding that the D. wulumuqiensis R12 cells were able to catalyze the selective oxidation of other structurally diverse aldehydes to their corresponding acids with good yield and high selectivity, indicating broad substrate scope and potential widespread applications in biotechnology and organic chemistry.

Au, Pt, and Pd supported on ZSM-11 microporous zeolite were investigated as catalysts for glycerol (GLY) oxidation towards higher value added products. ZSM-11 was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment. Subsequently, ion exchange with NH4Cl was performed to recover acidic sites and then, Au, Pt, and Pd were incorporated onto this material by wet impregnation procedure. After thermal treatment of desorption and calcination, the corresponding Au, Pt, and Pd-ZSM-11 catalysts were obtained. These materials were characterized by different techniques, such as XRD, ICP, TEM- XEDS, and XPS, and were evaluated in the glycerol oxidation reaction by using alkaline medium and molecular oxygen as oxidizing agent. The higher conversion of GLY (66.5 mol.%) was reached for the Pt–ZSM-11 catalyst with moderate selectivity towards lactic acid (LA), while the bimetallic Au-Pt-ZSM-11 catalyst offered high selectivity to LA at moderate GLY conversion. Optimization of the main reaction parameters (i.e., temperature, reaction time and NaOH/GLY ratio) was carried out to maximize the selectivity towards the LA desired product. Thus, LA selectivity values close to 55% at GLY conversion >65% can be reached by using Pt-ZSM-11 as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions.
