Expeditious Base-free Solid-State Reaction between Phenyl Boronates and Hydrogen Peroxide on Silica Gel

The conversion of phenyl boronates to phenol by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) usually requires the base as the chemical assistant. In this work, we reported a base-free reaction between the phenyl...

Copper-based MOF, Cu3(SDBA)2(HSDBA), as catalyst for efficient reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride

Herein, we report the synthesis of the copper-based MOF, Cu3(SDBA)2(HSDBA), using solvothermal method. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared sample were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray...

Chemical effects induced by gas–liquid jet flow

The gas-liquid jet flow was proved to be capable of inducing chemical consequences which can lead to the decomposition of methylene blue (MB). The reaction process follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics....

High flowrate microreactors integrating in situ grown ZnO nanowires for photocatalytic degradation

A high-volume, low-pressure microfluidic photocatalytic microreactor was created and demonstrated here. This high-flowrate microreactor, based on an innovative design developed by the start-up Eden Tech, was produced by a simple...

Insights into Cascade and Sequential one pot pathways for reductive amination of aldehydes paired with bio-derived levulinic acid to N-substituted pyrrolidones using molecular hydrogen

This work aims to explore cascade and sequential one pot syntheses pathways for N-substituted pyrrolidones from aryl aldehydes and bio-derived levulinic acid (LA) using molecular hydrogen and ammonia. This process...

Advanced photochemical processes for the manufacture of nanopowders: an evaluation of long-term pilot plant operation

Based on our long term experience with the operation of a photochemical pilot plant, we propose an UV light-based technology for syntheses of nano-dimensional metal oxides (case study for ZnO,...
