The present work investigates the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol via a promoted Cu/ZnO/SBA-15 catalyst. In order to understand the effect of Mn, Zr and Pb promoters on the catalytic activity of Cu/Zn/SBA-15 catalysts, the hydrogenation of CO2 was performed in a stirred high-pressure reactor at 483K, 22.5bar, and a H2/CO2 ration of 3. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were studied using N2 physical adsorption, TEM and H2-TPR. The characteristics of catalysts depended on the type of promoter and it influenced their catalytic performance. The Mn and Zr promoters resulted in a larger surface area of the catalyst and improved catalytic activity and methanol selectivity. However, an opposite effect was found for the Pb promoter. A 10% improvement on the CO2 conversion and 20% on the methanol selectivity was achieved due to the double promotion effect of Mn and Zr on Cu/ZnO-SBA-15 catalyst.

Catalysts based on zirconia- and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (15 wt % W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 wt % Pt) were selected to study the influence of the reduction temperature and the nature of the support on the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. The reduction temperature has a major influence on metal dispersion, which impacts the catalytic activity. In addition, alumina and zirconia supports show different catalytic properties (mainly acid site strength and surface area), which play an important role in the conversion. The NH3-TPD profiles indicate that the acidity in alumina-based catalysts is clearly higher than that in their zirconia counterparts; this acidity can be attributed to a stronger interaction of the WOx species with alumina. The PtW/Al catalyst was found to exhibit the best catalytic performance for the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane based on its higher acidity, which was ascribed to its larger surface area relative to that of its zirconia counterparts. The selectivity for different hydrocarbons (C7–10, C11 and i-C12) was very similar for all the catalysts studied, with branched C12 hydrocarbons being the main products obtained (~80%). The temperature of 350 °C was clearly the best reduction temperature for all the catalysts studied in a trickled-bed-mode reactor.

The hydrogenation of CO2 to CH4 can realize the utilization of CO2, which has an important implications to both the energy and environment. As a result of the low catalytic activity of the supported Ni/SiO2 catalyst, the ZrO2 is added to improve its catalytic performance by the impregnation method. The experimental results show that ZrO2 is an effective promoter to enhance the low-temperature catalytic activity of Ni/SiO2 catalyst.

Nanoparticles play a significant role in various fields ranging from electronics to composite materials development. Among them, metal nanoparticles have attracted much attention in recent decades due to their high surface area, selectivity, tunable morphologies, and remarkable catalytic activity. In this review, we discuss various possibilities for the synthesis of different metal nanoparticles; specifically, we address some of the green synthesis approaches. In the second part of the paper, we review the catalytic performance of the most commonly used metal nanoparticles and we explore a few roadblocks to the commercialization of the developed metal nanoparticles as efficient catalysts.

Porous high entropy alloy CrMnFeCoNi exhibited remarkable catalytic activity and stability toward p-nitrophenol hydrogenation. The enhanced catalytic performance not only resulted from the high surface area, but also from exposed high-index facets with terraces.

The catalytic removal of SO2 from combustion gases has been studied on the grain plane of a hard coal, being competitive with classical desulphurization processes. The method proposed for the removal of SO2 from combustion gases described in this paper is quite different from wet classical desulphurization methods. Studies of the influence of molybdenum concentration on the catalytic activity of a number of DESONOX catalysts are reported. The influence of the total surface area and other physicochemical properties of the catalyst on its behaviour have been studied.

A series of sulphate-vanadia impregnated fumed silica oxidative catalysts were synthesized via impregnation method. The samples were prepared by impregnation of 1 wt% of vanadium and 0.2 M of sulphuric acid onto fumed silica as support. Surface area of the silica supported samples were similar of 118 m2/g. UV-Vis DRS results showed existence of o supported V species and the charge transfer bands associated with O2- to V5+ in tetrahedral environments. Catalytic performance were evaluated via epoxidation of 1-octene to 1,2-epoxyoctane using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. It had been demonstrated that sulphate-vanadia impregnated fumed silica had high catalytic activity of 626 ± 0.2 mmol epoxide was produced after 24 h reaction. This may indicate that more oxidative sites were generated after the impregnation of V and sulphate onto the SiO2 matrixes.

Aim: In the present work, the preparation and catalytic activity of spinel ferrite [MFe2O4; M = Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, Ni] nanoparticles to synthesize 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) have been discussed. Background: Ferrites possess unique physicochemical properties, including excellent magnetic characteristics, high specific surface area, active surface sites, high chemical stability, tunable shape and size, and easy functionalization. These properties make them essential heterogeneous catalysts in many organic reactions. Objective: This study aims to synthesize a series of transition metal ferrite nanoparticles and use them in the dehydration of carbohydrates for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) synthesis. Method: The ferrite nanoparticles were prepared via the co-precipitation method, and PXRD confirmed their phase stability. The surface area and the crystallite size of the nanoparticles were calculated using BET and PXRD, respectively. Result: The easily prepared heterogeneous nanocatalyst showed a significant catalytic performance, and among all spinel ferrites, CuFe2O4 revealed maximum catalytic ability. Conclusion: Being a heterogeneous catalyst and magnetic in nature, ferrite nanoparticles were easily recovered by using an external magnet and reused up to several runs without substantial loss in catalytic activity. Others: HMF was synthesized from fructose in a good yield of 71%.

Abstract A series of 5% MoV0.3Te0.25 supported on different silicates (i.e. SiO2, HMS, MCM-41, and MCM-48) have been prepared, characterized, and tested as catalysts in the partial oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein. Characterization results showed that the supports almost kept intact structures after supporting 5 wt.% MoV0.3Te0.25 and the supported catalysts had large specific surface areas. Catalytic tests showed that the specific surface area played a key role in the catalytic activity for the supported catalysts.
