Abstract Cobalt-based complexes are widely used in industry and organic synthesis as catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons.

Over the past decade, heterogeneous photocatalysis have gained lots of interest and attention among the organic chemistry community due to its applicability as an alternative to its homogeneous counterpart. Heterogeneous catalysis offers the advantages of easy separation and reusability of the catalyst.

Like traditional PHIP, SABRE is of interest because it is cost-effective, potentially continuous, scalable, and rapid (achieving polarization enhancement in seconds). However unlike traditional PHIP, SABRE does not require permanent alteration of the substrate to hyperpolarize it. In addition to achieving 1H polarizations of

AgÃncia Nacional do PetrÃleo<br>O objetivo desta dissertaÃÃo foi estudar a aplicaÃÃo da sÃlica mesoporosa SBA-15 modificada com lantÃnio como catalisador heterogÃneo nas reaÃÃes de transesterificaÃÃo e esterificaÃÃo visando à produÃÃo de biodiesel. Para isso sintetizou-se o catalisador La-SBA-15 variando a razÃo molar Si/La em 25, 50 e 75. O catalisador heterogÃneo La-SBA-15 apresenta caracterÃsticas Ãcidas o qual pode ser mais tolerante a Ãgua e aos Ãcidos graxos livres presentes nos Ãleos e podem catalisar simultaneamente as reaÃÃes de transesterificaÃÃo e esterificaÃÃo. O catalisador foi ca

Abstract:
A sustainable approach focused on the practice of green chemistry was used to develop a method which improved the performances of a catalyst system based on a natural and non-toxic substance. A benchmark Michael addition reaction was performed employing 9-amino(9-deoxy)epi quinine, adsorbed on alginic acid gels by hydrogen bonds, as catalyst. Compared to conventional heterogeneization of this organic catalyst, the present approach is more straightforward and employs as support a renewable biomaterial instead of oil-derived polymers. The optimization of the adsorption protocol was carried out t

Abstract:
The effectiveness of a modified PAN catalyst and hydrogen peroxide system in the treatment of textile effluent and a modified ion exchange PAN mesh in the remediation of non-coal mine drainage was investigated. The results show a tremendous potential in the treatment of such wastewaters. The treatment process for textile effluent was optimized in batch mode of operation. The influence of pH and catalyst was more pronounced compared to that of H2O2. At optimum conditions, 99.5 % decolourization and 91.9 % loss of aromaticity and 70 % mineralization were achieved in 100 minutes. The sorption of

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Chemical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology.<br>While biodiesel has the potential to resolve the energy crisis, its production is hampered by both feedstock and catalyst availability. The aim of this current study is to investigate the production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil (WVO) as feedstock under heterogeneous catalysis, mediated by calcined eggshell ash. WVO, characterised by 9% free fatty acid (FFA) and 0.17wt% water content, was employed as feedstock in the biodiesel production via transesterification reaction. The composition of WVO was determ
