Iron oxide supported on HY zeolite was prepared and exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the acylation of m-xylene with benzoyl chloride. It was characterized by XRD, BET, XPS, NH3-TPD and Py-IR. The catalytic activity of Fe2O3/HY is enhanced with the increase of Lewis acidic sites. Furthermore, the reaction parameters were optimized. Finally, the catalyst was easily separated reused for five runs without appreciable loss of catalytic activity.

The side-chain alkylation of toluene with methanol was investigated over some Fe-modified Cs ion-exchanged X zeolite (CsX) catalysts prepared via the impregnation method using different iron sources. The absorption/activation behaviors of the reactants on the surface of the catalysts were studied by in situ Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) mass measurements. Modification of CsX with a small amount of FeCl3 could result in a considerable decrease in catalytic activity, due mainly to the remarkable decrease in the density of acidic and basic sites of the catalysts. Interestingly, the Fe(NO3)3-modified CsX with an optimum Fe loading of 0.15 wt.% shows improved catalytic activity and high yield compared to the side-chain alkylation products. Modification of CsX with Fe(NO3)3 could also result in a decrease in basic sites of the catalyst. However, such a change does not bring an obvious negative effect on the adsorption/activation of toluene, while it could effectively inhibit the generation of the undesired bidentate formate. Furthermore, the introduced FeOx species (derived from the decomposition of Fe(NO3)3) may also act as new Lewis acidic sites to participate in the activation of methanol and to stabilize the formed active intermediates (i.e., unidentate formate). Therefore, modification of CsX with a suitable amount of Fe(NO3)3 may adjust its adsorption/activation ability for reagents by changing the acid–base properties of the catalyst, which can finally enhance the catalytic performance for the side-chain alkylation of toluene with methanol.

Small palladium nanoparticles stabilized with phosphine-functionalized PIP displayed high catalytic activity for nitroarenes hydrogenation. Nano-size Pd particles, electron-donation effect of phosphine ligand, and surface wettability account for its excellent catalytic performance.

Nanocrystalline Fe/Al2O3and Fe-Ce/Al2O3catalysts doped with various amounts of cerium were prepared using the one-step flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) technique. The characterization of the catalysts was measured by several methods such as X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption and hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) techniques. The results revealed that the FSP-made catalyst exhibited the characteristic pattern of FeAl2O4phase without any phases of aluminum or iron oxide. In addition, cerium (Ce) dopant did not alter crystal structure at low content. However, 7 wt% content of cerium dopant resulted in the formation of ceria (CeO) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) phase. The catalytic performance of the FSP-made catalyst was tested in carbon dioxide hydrogenation for selective production of long chain hydrocarbon, and was compared to conventional impregnation-made catalysts. In the comparison, the FSP-made catalyst exhibited lower catalytic activity but possessed a higher long chain hydrocarbon selectivity. After doping with Ce, the catalytic activity was improved while the hydrocarbon selectivity was decreased and shifted to the short chain hydrocarbon product. In the case of conventional-made catalysts, the activity remained unchanged but the hydrocarbon selectivity was decreased. Among all catalysts, the FSP-made Fe-Ce/Al2O3catalyst with 3% Ce-promoted catalyst exhibited the best performance in terms of selectivity to long chain hydrocarbon.

A series of Magnesium hydrogen phosphate (MgHP) catalysts with different magnesium to phosphorous (Mg/P) mole ratios at varying calcination temperatures has been synthesised, bearing in mind the effectiveness as well as the stability of MgHP to catalyse acrylic acid (AA) production from biorenewable lactic acid (LA), a synthetic process applicable to biomass conversion. The physicochemical properties of the MgHP catalysts have been thoroughly characterised and the formation of Mg(NH4)PO4, MgHPO4 and Mg2P2O7 with different structural and acidic properties have been reported. The high catalytic performance of MgHP catalysts with high AA yields (100% conversion and 85% selectivity) at high space velocities (WHSVLA = 3.13 h−1) have been achieved at 360 °C. NH3-Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and pyridine FTIR have shown that the effectiveness of a catalyst is accounted for not primarily by the actual strength of acidic sites, but is due to the presence of Lewis acidic sites compared to Bronsted sites.
