Valorization of biomass derivatives through the conversion of phenol over silica-supported Mo-Re oxide catalysts

Liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation of phenol over silica-supported MoOx-ReOx catalysts was investigated at 300 degrees C and 5 MPa of H-2. Mixed-oxides catalysts with similar surface metal density (2.3 atoms of metal per nm(2) of SiO2) but different relative ...

Mitigation of impact of a major benzene spill into a river through flow control and in-situ activated carbon absorption

David Andrew Barry, Yue Yang

Benzene is a toxic contaminant and can harm many aquatic species and cause serious damages to the river eco-system, if released to rivers. In 2012, a major spill accident occurred on the Huaihe River in Eastern China with 3 tons of benzene released to the ...

Chlorination of Phenols Revisited: Unexpected Formation of α,β-Unsaturated C4-Dicarbonyl Ring Cleavage Products

Urs von Gunten

Despite decades of research on the fate of phenolic compounds when water is disinfected with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the formation mechanisms and identity of ring cleavage products, especially at higher c ...

Hydrogen sieving from intrinsic defects of benzene-derived single-layer graphene

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Jing Zhao, Mina Moradi, Majharul Haque Khan

Single-layer graphene films, crystallized by chemical vapor deposition, host a low density of vacancy defects that are attractive for the size-sieving of molecules. The size and the density of such defects are a function of the growth temperature and the c ...

Mechanochemistry-assisted hydrolysis of softwood over stable sulfonated carbon catalysts in a semi-batch process

Frédéric Vogel

The hydrolysis of lignocellulose is the first step in saccharide based bio-refining. The recovery of homogeneous acid catalysts imposes great challenges to the feasibility of conventional hydrolysis processes. Herein, we report a strategy to overcome these ...
