In the present work we have explored a new catalyst prepared with Algerian clay and a new method to synthesise polystyrene and poly(1,3-dioxolane). This technique consists of using Algerian modified clay (Kaolinite-H+) as a green catalyst. Kaolinite-H+ is a proton exchanged clay which is prepared through a simple exchange process. Synthesis experiments are performed in bulk. The polymerization of styrene in bulk leads to the yield of 83 % at room temperature with the reaction time of 3 h. Molecular weight of the obtained polystyrene is calculated by 1H NMR and is about 2196 g/mol. Polymerization of (1,3-dioxolane) is carried out at room temperature with the reaction time of 3 h and polymerization yield of 91 %. The calculated molecular weight of the obtained poly(1,3-dioxolane) is about 573 g/mol. The structure of the obtained polymers is confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR. The modified clay (Kaolinite-H+) is characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM analysis.

In this paper we have explored a novel and green method to synthesis and polymerize ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM). This technique consists on using Maghnite (Algerian clay) as a green catalyst to replace toxic catalysts. The Algerian clay has been modified using two ion exchange process to obtain Maghnite-H+ (proton exchanged process) and Maghnite-Na+ (sodium exchanged process). Synthesis experiments of EGDM and Poly (EGDM) are performed in bulk respecting the principles of green chemistry. The structure of the obtained monomer and the obtained polymer was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, where the methacrylate end groups are clearly visible. The presence of unsaturated end group in the structure of monomer was confirmed by UV-Visible analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to study the thermal stability of these obtained products. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group. All rights reserved

The copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) with styrene (St) catalyzed by Maghnite-H+ (Mag-H+) was investigated. Mag-H+, a nontoxic catalyst for cationic polymerization of vinylic and heterocyclic monomers, is a montmorillonite silicate sheet clay. This catalyst was prepared through a straight forward proton exchange process. It was found that Mag-H+ initiates the copolymerization in bulk at room temperature. Various techniques, including H1NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and Ubbelohde viscometer, were used to elucidate the resulting copolymers' structural characteristics. The effects of the amount of Mag-H+ and propylene oxide were studied. The yield of copolymerization depends on the amount of Mag-H+ used and the reaction time.

A new green polymerization technique to synthesis polylimonene (PLM) is carried out in this work. This technique consists of using Maghnite-H+ as eco-catalyst to replace Friedel-Crafts catalysts which are toxics. Maghnite-H+ is a montmorillonite silicate sheet clay which is prepared through a simple exchange process. Polymerization experiments are performed in bulk and in solution using CH2Cl2 as solvent. Effect of reaction time, temperature and amount of catalyst is studied, in order to find the optimal reaction conditions. The polymerization in solution leads to the best yield (48.5%) at -5°C for a reaction time of 6 h but the bulk polymerization, that is performed at 25°C, remains preferred even if the yield is lower (40.3%) in order to respect the principles of a green chemistry which recommend syntheses under mild conditions, without solvents and at room temperature. The structure of the obtained polymer (PLM) is confirmed by FT-IR and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of proton (1H-NMR). The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polylimonene is defined using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and is between 113°C and 116°C. The molecular weight of the obtained polymer is determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) analysis and is about 1360 g/mol. Copyright © 2019 BCREC Group.

The microcrystalline cellulose grafting polymethylmethacrylate (MCC-g-PMMA) copolymer was successfully synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using ethanediamine as ligand in Ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl). The MCC-g-PMMA was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, SEM and GPC spectroscopies. The results confirmed that the PMMA had been covalently bonded to cellulose backbone. The molecular weight of graft copolymers linearly increased during the polymerization and presented a low polydispersity.

MnO2 nanoparticles were prepared by one-step redox under room temperature. The sample was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and FT-IR. The results indicated that the MnO2 nanoparticles was amorphous δ-MnO2 with the uniform size of 10-20nm in particle diameter, which can be seen by XRD patterns. The four peaks appear at 2θ = 23.24°,36.1°,45.42°and 64.38°, respectively. FT-IR results showed the 519 cm-1 as Mn-O features manganese dioxide absorption. The effect of the pH, nanoMnO2 dosage, reaction time, reaction temperature and initial concentration were studied on the removal of reactive brilliant blue. It was found that the removal ability of reactive brilliant blue was the best under the selected conditions: pH was 3.0, dosage of nanoMnO2 was 0.05g, KN-R solution concentration was 5mg / L, reaction time was 2h, temperature was 25°C.

A kind of 4A zeolite, which was modified by magnesium chloride and aluminum chloride, was used to treatment phosphorus wastewater. The effect of several parameters on phosphorus removal was also investigated, including zeolite dosage, pH, phosphorus concentration and the adsorption time. The results showed that, under the conditions of pH 7, the amount of modified 4A zeolite 0.05g, reaction time 15min, room temperature, the removal efficiency of phosphorus with initial concentration 2mg/L reached 98%. The SEM analysis explained that crystalline structure of 4A zeolite has changed after modification, thus resulted in the improvement of adsorption capacity. What’s more, the phosphorus removal mechanism was also discussed.

Two Covalent Organic Frameworks (COF), named TFP-BZ and TFP-DMBZ, were synthesized using the imine condensation between 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (TFP) with benzidine (BZ) or 3,3-dimethylbenzidine (DMBZ). These materials were deposited, such as films over interdigitated electrodes (IDE), by chemical bath deposition, giving rise to TFP-BZ-IDE and TFP-DMBZ-IDE systems. The synthesized COFs powders were characterized by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ssNMR), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy, while the films were characterized by SEM and Raman. Ammonia and low molecular weight amine sensing were developed with the COF film systems using the impedance electrochemical spectroscopy (EIS). Results showed that the systems TFP-BZ-IDE and TFP-DMBZ-IDE detect low molecular weight amines selectively by impedimetric analysis. Remarkably, with no significant interference by other atmospheric gas compounds such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. Additionally, both COF films presented a range of sensitivity at low amine concentrations below two ppm at room temperature.

A new method to synthesise polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDM) with various molecular weights (1000, 3000, 6000 and 8000 g/mol) of polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been developed. This technique consists in using Maghnite-H+ as eco-catalyst to replace еriethylamine, which is toxic. Maghnite-H+ is a proton exchanged montmorillonite clay which is prepared through a simple exchange process. Synthesis experiments are performed in solution using dichloromethane as solvent in the presence of methacrylic anhydride. The effect of reaction time, temperature, amount of catalyst and amount of methacrylic anhydride is studied in order to find the optimal reaction conditions. The synthesis in solution leads to the best yield (98 %) at room temperature for the reaction time of 5 h. The structure of the obtained macromonomers (PEGDM) is confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, where the methacrylate end groups are clearly visible. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is used to study the thermal stability of these obtained macromonomers. The presence of unsaturated end group was confirmed by UV-Visible analysis.

In present work, a series of novel [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline derivatives (HP-101-110) have been synthesized using multi-component reaction at room temperature in the presence of ammonium chloride as mild, cost effective green catalyst along with water as eco-friendly green solvent. The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]quinolines (HP-101-110) was achieved by two step process. In first step, diversified Hantzsch pyridine reaction of an appropriate aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, dimedone and benz hydrazide using ethanol as a solvent gives N-(2-amino-3-cyano-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-4-phenyl-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-quinolin-1(4H)-yl)-4-hydroxybenzamide derivatives. In the second step, synthesis of the final product 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-8,8-dimethyl-6-oxo-5-phenyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5- a]-quinoline-4-carbonitriles was achieved by the intramolecular cyclization of step 1 product.The structure of all the synthesized compounds (HP101-110) has been elucidated by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR, mass spectral data and elemental analyses.
