Preparation of alkaline polymer catalyst by radiation induced grafting for transesterification of triacetin under neural network optimized conditions

A simple and flexible method was used to develop new alkaline polymer catalyst through radiation induced grafting of glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) onto polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) nonwoven sheet followed by amination reaction and alkalisation. The chemical structure and morphology of catalyst was evaluated by Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA). The catalyst was examined for the transesterification of triacetin/methanol mixtures in a batch mode and the obtained methyl ester was detected by GC-MS. In order to optimize the reaction parameters towards getting the higher yield, an artificial neural network (ANN) was used to develop a non-linear model correlating the four independent reaction parameters including catalyst dosage, triacetin/methanol molar ratio, reaction time and temperature. The maximum conversion obtained via the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm was 86.2% at the optimal conditions of 5.01 wt% catalyst dosage, triacetin/methanol 1:12 molar ratio, 8 h reaction time and 62.8°C temperature. Upon using these optimal conditions in the experimental reaction, the conversion of as high as 85% was achieved. These results suggest that the simply modified low cost PE/PP fibrous sheet has a potential to catalyze biodiesel production. Moreover, the combined ANN-SA modelling method is highly effective in predicting the conversion of transesterification reaction and optimizing its parameters.     

Optimization of biodiesel production via transesterification of soybean oil using α-MoO3 catalyst obtained by the combustion method

A catalyst based on MoO₃ was synthesized by a simple and fast pilot-scale combustion reaction method and applied to the conversion of soybean oil to biodiesel via transesterification. For that, the statistical analysis of the catalyst amount and temperature, factors that influence the process, was evaluated by means of central composite design 2². MoO₃ was characterized in terms of structure by X-ray diffraction (XRD), textural characterization Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), density by helium pycnometry (DE), particle size analysis (DG) and acidity tests by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH₃-TPD), chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence (EDX), morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and catalytic properties. The transesterification products were characterized by gas chromatography (GC), acidity index (AI) and kinematic viscosity (KV). The results indicate the catalyst formation with a surface area of 1.36 m²g^?1, and density of 4.5 g/cm³ which consists of a single crystalline phase of orthorhombic configuration, with total NH₃ acidity of 33.61 μ.mol/g. Morphological characterization revealed that the catalyst is formed by irregular plates of various sizes and shapes, with a wide sizes range of agglomerated particles. In the soybean oil transesterification reactions, the catalyst was active showing 96.9% conversion to ethyl esters. The experimental design was meaningful and predictive, with a reliability level of 95%. The statistical analysis identified temperature as a significant variable for the adopted planning. To conclude, a new single-phase catalyst (α-MoO₃) has been developed and successfully applied to the biodiesel Synthesis from soybean oil. These results have a positive and promising impact for biodiesel production by transesterification of soybean oil against ethanol.     

Biodiesel Production via the Transesterification of Soybean Oil Using Waste Starfish (Asterina pectinifera)

Calcined waste starfish was used as a base catalyst for the production of biodiesel from soybean oil for the first time. A batch reactor was used for the transesterification reaction. The thermal characteristics and crystal structures of the waste starfish were investigated by thermo-gravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. The biodiesel yield was determined by measuring the content of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The calcination temperature appeared to be a very important parameter affecting the catalytic activity. The starfish-derived catalyst calcined at 750 °C or higher exhibited high activity for the transesterification reaction. The FAME content increased with increasing catalyst dose and methanol-over-oil ratio.     

A novel transesterification system to rapidly synthesize cellulose aliphatic esters

Cellulose aliphatic esters (CEs) are important cellulose derivatives that have been widely used in many fields such as plastics, textiles, membranes, etc. However, in traditional methods, long pretreatment and reaction times limit the manufacture of CEs and their widespread application. Herein, a very efficient method for the preparation of CEs in a heterogeneous system was developed. This method involved the transesterification of cellulose with vinyl esters (from C4 to C14) in dimethylsulfoxide under the catalysis of aqueous NaOH. For better understanding of this new reaction system, factors such as the water content, amount of catalyst, reaction temperature and molar ratio of vinyl acetate to the anhydroglucose unit were explored. Results obtained from FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies confirmed that CEs could be synthesized at 100 °C within 5 min. High water content or excessive amounts of NaOH were detrimental to the synthesis of CEs. Results from small-angle X-ray diffraction showed that the interplanar spacings of these CEs showed an increasing trend with the length of the aliphatic chain. Thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis showed that CEs had higher thermal stability than cellulose. This work provides a new and highly efficient method to synthesize various CEs.     

Enhanced stability of symmetrical polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell single cells based on novel hierarchical microporous-mesoporous carbon supports

Fuel cell electrodes were prepared from Pt nanocluster activated hierarchical microporous-mesoporous carbon powders. The carbon supports were synthesized from molybdenum carbide applying the high-temperature chlorination method. Six different synthesis temperatures within the range from 600 to 1000 °C were used for preparation of carbon supports. Thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, low-temperature nitrogen sorption, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy methods were used to characterize the structure of the electrode materials and symmetrical membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). The MEAs prepared were used to conduct the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)single-cell measurements. The polarization and power density curves for single cells were calculated to evaluate the activity of the catalyst materials synthesized. The electrochemically active surface area (from 2.4 to 11.9 m² g^?1) was obtained in order to estimate the contact surface areas of platinum and Nafion® electrolyte. The values of the electrolyte resistance, polarization resistance, and cell degradation rate were calculated from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data. The carbon materials synthesized within temperature range from 600 to 850 °C were found to be the most suitable supports for PEMFCs, having higher maximum power density values and better stability (cell potential degradation 240 μV h^?1) than commercial carbon-based (Vulcan XC72; 670 μV h^?1) single cells.

Transesterification of canola oil over Li/Ca-La mixed oxide catalyst: Kinetics and calcination temperature investigations

In this research, a solid 1%Li/Ca-La mixed oxide catalyst was prepared using co-precipitation method followed by wet impregnation. The prepared catalyst was used in the transesterification reaction of canola oil and methanol for biodiesel synthesis. The effects of calcination and reaction temperatures were investigated on the activity of the catalyst. In addition, rate of the reaction was studied through a kinetic model for which parameters were determined. Surface properties and structure of the catalyst were characterized through the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. All these emphasized that the performance of the catalyst corresponded to the generation of the active sites and their thermal activation.     

Nanocrystalline tungstic carbide/graphitic carbon composite: synthesis,characterization, and its application as an effective Pt catalyst support for methanol oxidation

Tungsten carbide and graphitic carbon (WC/GC) composite has been synthesized by a simple solid-state pyrolysis method from an in situ route. The results indicate that the synthesized sample has a large specific surface area (S _BET) of 198 m² g^?1, and the WC nanoparticles (NPs) with a narrow particle size are well dispersed on the graphitic carbon. After loading Pt nanoparticles, the prepared Pt/WC/GC catalyst exhibits a mass activity of 416.1 mA mg^?1 Pt toward methanol electrooxidation, which is much higher than that of commercial Pt/C (JM) (231.2 mA mg^?1 Pt). Moreover, the onset potential is 100 mV more negative than that on Pt/C (JM) electrocatalyst. In addition, the Pt/WC/GC catalyst has stronger resistance to CO poisoning than the commercial Pt/C (JM). Its superior electrochemical performance could be attributed not only to the synergistic effect between Pt and WC NPs but also to the excellent electrical conductivity of GC and proper porous structure for desirable mass transportation in a porous electrode.     

Determination of Sotalol in Tablets and Serum by CZE

A validated capillary zone electrophoretic method for analysis of sotalol is described. Analysis was performed in a fused-silica capillary with 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 4.20) containing 10% (v/v) acetonitrile as background electrolyte.

The method was validated over the concentration range 1.98 × 10⁻⁵ to 9.90 × 10⁻⁵ M; repeatability was good and there was no interference. Highly satisfactory results were obtained from analysis of tablets and serum, indicating the method is specific, accurate, and precise, and suitable for routine analysis of sotalol in pharmaceutical tablets and in pharmacokinetic studies.

     

Thermal analysis of cyclic carbonation behavior of CaO derived from carbide slag at high temperature

In this work, CaO derived from the carbide slag (CaO?Ccarbide slag) as a kind of typical industrial waste was used to capture CO₂ during the calcination/carbonation cycles. The carbonation kinetics and cyclic carbonation behavior of CaO?Ccarbide slag were investigated in a thermogravimetric analyzer. The chemical reaction activation energy and the product layer diffusion activation energy for carbonation of CaO?Ccarbide slag are 12.46 and 36.83?kJ?mol^?1, respectively, which are significantly less than those for carbonation of CaO derived from the limestone (CaO?Climestone). CaO?Ccarbide slag shows higher carbonation conversion than CaO?Climestone after enough reaction time and at the same number of cycles. Moreover, the calcination temperature and CO₂ concentration in the carbonation atmosphere have important effect on the carbonation behavior of CaO?Ccarbide slag. The BET surface area of CaO?Ccarbide slag is 1.6 times as large as that of CaO?Climestone after 1 cycle and the average pore size of CaO?Ccarbide slag is much smaller. In addition, the carbide slag contains much more Al₂O₃ than most of the limestones. These are reasons why carbide slag as a precursor can retain greater carbonation conversion than limestone in calcination/carbonation cycles.     

An efficient and easily retrievable dip catalyst based on silver nanoparticles/chitosan-coated cellulose filter paper

Re-use of a catalyst is an important task, which is usually achieved by loading it on easily separable supports such as magnetic substrates. However, we demonstrate here the process of easy and fast catalyst separation from a reaction medium by loading it onto an economically feasible and microscopically high surface substrate of filter paper (FP) made up of cellulose microfibers as catalyst support. To achieve the goal, we coated chitosan (CH) on filter paper (CH-FP) to impart a high affinity of the substrate for metal ion absorption. AgNO₃ dissolved in water with a 0.1 M concentration was used as the Ag ion carrier solution, and CH-FP strips with known rectangular dimensions were submerged into it for the metal ion absorption. The metal ion-laden CH-FP strips were dip treated with sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) aqueous solution to prepare Ag-nanoparticle loaded CH-FP (Ag/CH-FP). X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the formation of the Ag/CH-FP hybrid. Ag/CH-FP morphology was examined through scanning electron microscopy analysis, which showed the presence of Ag nanoparticles attached to the cellulose microfibers. The prepared Ag/CH-FP was employed as a dip catalyst for the degradation of nitroarene compounds of 2-nitophenol (2-NP) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by NaBH₄. Remarkably, the rate constants for 4-NP and 2-NP were 3.9 × 10^?3 and 1.7 × 10^?3 s^?1, respectively. In addition, we discussed the ease of the catalyst retrievability from the reaction mixture and its re-usability.

On-line mass spectrometry of the electro-oxidation of methanol in acidic media on tungsten carbide

The electro-oxidation of methanol at supported tungsten carbide (WC) nanoparticles in sulfuric acid solution was studied using cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic measurements, and differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS). The catalyst was prepared by a sonochemical method and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Over the WC catalyst, the oxidation of methanol (1 M in a sulfuric acid electrolyte) begins at a potential below 0.5 V/RHE during the anodic sweep. During potentiostatic measurements, a maximum current of 0.8 mA mg⁻¹ was obtained at 0.4 V. Measurements of DEMS showed that the methanol oxidation reaction over tungsten carbide produces CO₂ (m/z = 44); no methylformate (m/z = 60) was detected. These results are discussed in the context of the continued search for alternative materials for the anode catalyst of direct methanol fuel cells. In memoriam

Montmorillonite-supported KF/CaO: a new solid base catalyst for biodiesel production

Biodiesel is an alternative to petroleum-derived diesel fuel; development of a high-efficiency base catalyst to be used in heterogeneous biodiesel production is still a challenge. In this paper, a novel solid base catalyst, KF- and CaO-supported montmorillonite (KCa/MMT) was successfully synthesized by a facile impregnation method, and used for producing biodiesel in transesterification of commercial soybean oil with methanol. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, carbon dioxide temperature-programmed desorption and scanning electron microscopy. Effects of the parameters, such as the loading amount of KF, the amount of KCa/MMT, and the methanol to oil molar ratios, on the yield of biodiesel were investigated. A maximum biodiesel yield of 98 % was obtained under the optimal reaction conditions. The separated catalyst can be directly used in the next round of reactions and gave a satisfactory yield. Furthermore, analysis of the catalyst's tolerance to oil-containing water or free fatty acids, and a kinetic study were also carried out. Koros–Nowak tests were designed and conducted, and it was proven that the heat and mass transfer were not limited by the reaction rate.
