HYDROTHERMAL LIQUEFACTION OF MICROALGAE IN THE PRESENCE OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSTS
2015
The continuous raise in the prices of fossil fuels and the awareness of the society challenges related to their use has recently driven a strong growth of interest on the investigation of different biochemical or thermochemical processes for the production of liquid biofuels .
Halloysite Nanotubes: Smart Nanomaterials in Catalysis
2022
The use of clay minerals as catalyst is renowned since ancient times. Among the different clays used for catalytic purposes, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) represent valuable resources for industrial applications. This special tubular clay possesses high stability and biocompatibility, resistance against organic solvents, and most importantly be available in large amounts at a low cost. Therefore, HNTs can be efficiently used as catalysts themselves or supports for metal nanoparticles in several catalytic processes. This review reports a comprehensive overview of the relevant advances in the use of halloysite in catalysis, focusing the attention on the last five years.
Iron Porphyrins as Models of Cytochromec Oxidase
2001
A series of iron porphyrins has been synthesized as models of cytochrome c oxidase; their activity as 4 e− catalysts in the reduction of dioxygen has been studied at pH 7. These compounds have been obtained by grafting very different residues onto the same iron complex, namely tripodal tetraamines, pickets, and straps, in order to change the environment of the metal center. In the case of porphyrins bearing a tripodal cap, the secondary amines have been alkylated with different substituents so as to modify the electronic environment of the distal pocket. Surprisingly, when the iron porphyrin is functionalized with four identical acrylamido pickets, the resulting complex exhibits biomimetic …
POSS-based 3D functional networks as catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide
2023
Oggi lo sviluppo di processi sostenibili è al centro dell'attenzione a causa delle emergenze climatiche. La Chimica Verde, con i suoi dodici principi sviluppati da Paul Anastas, si concentra sullo sviluppo di processi alternativi e più rispettosi dell'ambiente. Questa branca della chimica mostra come concetti quali la prevenzione dei rifiuti, l'uso di materie prime rinnovabili e la catalisi siano di grande importanza per rendere un processo più sostenibile. In questo contesto, l'anidride carbonica (CO2) rappresenta una delle materie prime più abbondanti, non tossiche e rinnovabili. La possibilità di riutilizzare la CO2 e di trasformare questa molecola in prodotti a valore aggiunto come i ca…
New Hybrid Organic-inorganic Multifunctional Materials Based on Polydopamine-like Chemistry
2021
Taking inspiration from the chemistry of dopamine, a simple and economic synthetic approach toward the synthesis of a series of silica-based polydopamine-like materials has been developed. Mild conditions and easy manipulation are the strongest aspects of this methodology. Such hybrid materials were successfully used as recyclable catalysts for Knoevenagel reactions.
Enhanced Heterogeneously Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction over SiliaCat Pd(0)
2013
Abstract The SiliaCat Pd(0) solid catalyst can be efficiently employed in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of an ample variety of haloarenes, including economically viable chloroarenes. The catalyst can be extensively recycled without loss of activity and with low leaching of valued palladium, opening the route to widespread utilization of the method to afford high yields of biaryls devoid of contaminating by-products.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis for selective partial oxidation reactions in aqueous suspension
Income and expenses of Jan Karol Chodkiewicz (1686–1712), starost of Veliuona, Zabłudów, Baisogala and Daugeliskis, relating to his schooling in Wars…

Postać Jana Karola Chodkiewicza (1686–1712) z linii supraskiej nie doczekała się do tej pory swojego opracowania choćby w postaci noty biograficznej. Artykuł niniejszy przybliża więc wybrany fragment z życiorysu wyżej wymienionego bohatera, który w latach 1700–1705 przebywał na naukach w szkole jezuickiej w Warszawie. Okres nauk stanowił ważne wydarzenie w życiu młodych magnatów, którzy w ich ramach przygotowywali się do służby państwowej i funkcjonowania w społeczeństwie szlacheckim. Nie inaczej było w przypadku Jana Karola, dziedzica ogromnej fortuny chodkiewiczowskiej, który resztę swojego krótkiego życia spędził później na sporach o dobra ojczyste. Młody starosta pobierał nauki w trudny…
Construction and commissioning of the S-Band high gradient RF laboratory at IFIC
2018
An S-band High-Gradient (HG) Radio Frequency (RF) laboratory is under construction and commissioning at IFIC. The purpose of the laboratory is to perform investigations of high-gradient phenomena and to develop normal-conducting RF technology, with special focus on RF systems for hadron-therapy. The layout of the facility is derived from the scheme of the Xbox-3 test facility at CERN [1] and uses medium peak-power (7.5 MW) and high repetition rate (400 Hz) klystrons, whose RF output is combined to drive two testing slots to the required power. The design and construction of the various components of the system started in 2016 and has been completed. The installation and commissioning of the…
Pd nanoparticles formation inside porous polymeric scaffolds followed by in situ XANES/SAXS
2015
International audience; Simultaneous time-resolved SAXS and XANES techniques were employed to follow in situ the formation of Pd nanoparticles from palladium acetate precursor in two porous polymeric supports: polystyrene (PS) and poly(4-vinyl-pyridine) (P4VP). In this study we have investigated the effect of the use of different reducing agents (H-2 and CO) from the gas phase. These results, in conjunction with data obtained by diffuse reflectance IR (DRIFT) spectroscopy and TEM measurements, allowed us to unravel the different roles played by gaseous H-2 and CO in the formation of the Pd nanoparticles for both PS and P4VP hosting scaffolds
