With the decline of oil reserves and production, gas-to-liquids (GTL) part Fischer–Tropsch (F-T) synthesis technology has become increasing important. Synthesis gas (H2 + CO) with a stoichiometric ratio (H2/CO) at 2 or ranging from 1 to is generally used in major synthesis-gas-based chemicals production. There are growing interests development an alternative technology, other than expensive natural-gas-based catalytic process, for cost-effective production flexible hydrogen/carbon monoxide...

Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and cellulose propionate (CAP) were prepared homogeneously in a 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl) ionic liquid system from sugarcane bagasse (SB). The reaction temperature, time, molar ratio of butyric (propionic) anhydride/anhydroglucose units the affect butyryl (B) or propionyl (P) content CAB CAP samples. (13)C NMR data revealed distribution substituents CAP. thermal stability sugar cane was found by thermogravimetric analysis to have decreased...

Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) with butyryl content of 6–47 wt % was homogeneously synthesized in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl) a single step without using any catalysts. The effects different acylating agents (acetic anhydride and butyric anhydride) addition methods reaction conditions on the acyl CABs were investigated. Synthesized characterized by FTIR, NMR, solubility, thermal analysis. method influences content, substituent distribution within anhydroglucose units...

Abstract The preparation of self‐healing polyurethane elastomers (PUEs) incorporating dynamic bonds is considerable practical significance. However, developing a PUE with outstanding mechanical properties and high efficiency poses significant challenge. Herein, this work has successfully developed series PUEs various through rational molecular design. These incorporate m‐xylylene diisocyanate reversible dimethylglyoxime as hard segment, along polytetramethylene ether glycol soft segment. A...

The selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to aromatic amines is great significance in green chemistry and chemical engineering, but mild efficient remains a challenge. Here we reported novel catalyst consisting palladium single atoms (PdSA) clusters (PdC) supported on defective TiO2 (TiO2‐OV) for highly efficient nitrobenzene aniline. 0.20% PdSA+C/TiO2‐OV achieved turnover frequency (TOF) 21154 h‐1 under 25 °C 0.15 MPa, which outperformed most the noble metal‐based catalysts. In situ...

Abstract CO 2 hydrogenation is the most efficient way to achieve goal of “Carbon Neutral,” and transition metals (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu)‐embedded faveolate ZnFe O 4 were fabricated then evaluated with a test. The systematic investigation effect introduced on catalytic performance revealed that activity was influenced by surface structure, especially Fe−C percentages. introduction Zn could increase adsorption, thus promoting reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, which considered first step during...

The methoxycarbonylation of amines into carbamates via the construction a C–N bond is an important reaction in pharmaceutical and fine chemical syntheses. However, with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) without metal-based catalysts or other base has rarely been studied, mechanisms remain underexplored. Herein, efficient biobased pentanediamine (PDA) DMC promoted by water proposed. addition as catalyst resulted 4-fold increase yield. conducted kinetic studies showed that proton transfer from PDA to...
