A novel geopolymer supported nanobimetallic catalyst for isopropanol dehydrogenation was prepared by modified wet impregnation and reduction method. XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM analysis confirmed formation of amorphous geopolymer from the polymerization of metakaolin and deposition of nanometals over the geopolymer support. The bimetallic catalyst containing 5wt. % Cu and 10wt. % Ni loading over geopolymer shows an excellent performance with 23.18% conversion of isopropanol and 88.24% selectivity to acetone under reaction conditions of 90 °C, 3 hours, and catalyst amount of 0.15g/5.0g of isopropanol. Moreover, the catalyst maintains its catalytic stability without noticeable loss of activity after five cycles.

Palladium-copper bimetallic catalysts supported over different supporters were prepared by chemical reduction method, and their catalytic performance was investigated with the hydrogenation of nitrate ions in drinking water under mild conditions. The results show that Pd-Cu/ZSM-5 bimetallic catalyst has the highest catalytic activity among all used catalysts. In addition, nitrate conversion influenced by metal content, metal molar ratio (Pd:Cu) and the addition of CO2 are also discussed. It is well established that the addition of CO2 has changed the reduction path of the intermediate nitrite, but is no influence on the steps of nitrate-to-nitrite reduction. In the end, the mechanism of catalytic nitrate reduction was discussed on the basis the literature results.

Platinum - tin bimetallic catalysts have been primarily utilized in the chemical industry in the catalytic reforming of petroleum fractions. In this process the naphtha feedstock is converted to hydrocarbons with higher octane numbers and high anti-knock qualities. Most of these catalysts contain small metal particles or crystallites supported on high surface area insulating oxide supports. The determination of the structure and composition of these particles is crucial to the understanding of the catalytic behavior. In a bimetallic catalyst it is important to know how the two metals are distributed within the particle size range and in what way the addition of a second metal affects the size, structure and composition of the metal particles. An added complication in the Pt-Sn system is the possibility of alloy formation between the two elements for all atomic ratios.

To isolate recombinant chitinase quickly and boost its anti-fungi activities in vitro, functional magnetic nanometer carrier was used to immobilize recombinant chitinase from the crude enzyme solution and immobilized recombinant chitinase was applied to test whether it would inhibit the growth of gray mold from fruits. In this study, the carboxyl magnetic carrier was produced by solvent thermal reduction method and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). Then, the carboxyl magnetic carrier activated by EDC/NHS was applied to immobilize recombinant chitinase and the immobilization efficiency was investigated by quantitative analysis. To obtain the highest immobilization efficiency, reaction conditions were optimized through combining different pH, temperature and reaction period. The results show that the surface of magnetic carrier was successfully carboxyl and the average diameter was 200nm. The immobilization efdiciency could reach the peak 64.43% after 7h reaction at the condition of pH 6 and 25°C. It also shows that immobilized recombinant chitinase can significantly inhibit the growth of gray mold isolated from table grape compared with the enzyme without immobilization with magnetic nanometer carrier.

Pd–Ni bimetallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) supported on ZrO2 were prepared by an impregnation–reduction method. The BMNPs showed excellent catalytic performance in Suzuki carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions and almost quantitative conversion of the substrates was obtained under mild conditions in the absence of ligand. The excellent catalytic performance of the bimetallic catalyst could be a result of the synergistic effect between the two metal components. The catalyst showed outstanding recyclability during the reaction process; no obvious decrease in catalytic performance was observed after five cycles.

HPW/C catalysts were prepared using impregnation method. The physical chemistry properties of the catalysts were characterized employing XRD and NH3-TPD.The effects of HPW loading, catalyst amount and reaction time on the catalyst performances were investigated. The results more acid content and active center contribute to the reaction performance. Under the optimal reaction conditions of 0.8g 29%(w) HPW/C as the catalyst, n(adipic acid): n(ethanol):n(toluene)=1:6:1,5h,the etherification rate was 97.3%.

Two transition metals were loaded on H-ZSM-5 zeolite to produce bimetallic zeolite supported catalysts for catalytic pyrolysis reaction. Ni and Co metal were loaded on H-ZSM-5 via wet impregnation method. The loading sequence was applied using one-step and two-step loading method. The different loading sequence affect surface properties of catalyst and catalytic activity in pyrolysis reaction. The bimetallic catalysts were prepared at Ni+Co metal loading content of 10+10 wt% (Ni:Co=1:1) to 10+20 wt% (Ni:Co=1:2 or 2:1). All bimetallic catalysts supported on H-ZSM-5 were calcined and characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Surface area analysis (BET) and Temperature Programmed Desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). The XRD patterns of bimetallic zeolite supported catalysts revealed that loading of two metals at high content affect crystalline structural of ZSM-5 support. All XRD patterns illustrated peaks characteristic of ZSM-5, cobalt oxide and nickel oxide. The NH3-TPD results showed number of acid sites of the catalyst which revealed that the acid sites of ZSM-5 support was weakened with transition metal added. The two-step loading of 10+20 wt% metals on ZSM-5 reduced the peak intensities of NH3 desorption due to the metal particles aggregate on acid sites of ZSM-5. The two-step 10+20 wt% bimetallic catalysts has the lowest surface acidity, followed by the one-step 10+20 wt%, the two-step 10+10 wt% and the one-step 10+10 wt% bimetallic catalysts, respectively. Jatropha residue was used for catalytic pyrolysis study. Jatropha residue and bimetallic catalyst was pyrolyzed at 500 °C in a pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The product vapor was analyzed by GC/MS for the different groups of organic products such as fatty acid, aldehydes, ketones, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrogen compounds. The product from catalytic pyrolysis of jatropha residue with bimetallic zeolite supported catalysts enhance deoxygenation reaction that resulted in high aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons product. The one-step loading at ratio Ni:Co = 1:1 (10+10 wt%) gave the highest hydrocarbons product yield at 57.81%.

The present study has undertaken the Friedel-Crafts benzylation of aromatics over the V2O5/ZrO2 catalysts systems. Catalysts with different V2O5 content (0-15wt %) was prepared by wet impregnation method and characterized by XRD, BET surface area, FTIR and 5’V NMR techniques. The surface acidic properties were determined by temperature programmed desorption of NH3, cumene cracking and perylene adsorption. Under the optimized reaction conditions, these catalysts are found to be very effective and considerably more selective than the conventional homogeneous Lewis acid catalysts. The investigation of vanadia systems-catalyzed benzylation of o-xylene with benzyl chloride revealed that the catalytic activity and product selectivity are sensitive to the precise reaction parameters and can be related to the Lewis acidity of the systems. The reaction is found to be very clean and produces the desired monoalkylated product with high yield.
