Increasing the efficiency of thermal recovery methods is an important and relevant task. This study is devoted to reducing heavy components (resins and asphaltenes) and quality improvement of heavy oil by catalytic hydrothermal treatment. The object...

The paper is focused on the Fe for Co substitution effect on the redox and catalytic properties in the perovskite structure of GdFeO3. The solid oxides with the composition GdFe1−xCoxO3 (x = 0; 0.2; 0.5; 0.8; 1) were obtained by the sol-gel method an...

Phytoene desaturase (CrtI, E.C. 1.3.99.31) shows variable desaturation activity, thereby introducing different numbers of conjugated double bonds (CDB) into the substrate phytoene. In particular, Rhodobacter sphaeroides CrtI is known to introduce add...

Nucleophilic dearomatization of azaarenium salts is a powerful strategy to access 3D scaffolds of interest from easily accessible planar aromatic azaarene compounds. Moreover, this approach yields complex dihydroazaarenes by allowing the functionaliz...

In the current study, a facile and rapid synthesis approach for a SSZ-13 catalyst using choline chloride (CC) as a template was proposed, and the catalytic performance for the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction was examined. With a proper amount of C...

A series of mixed oxides of CuO, CeO2, and SiO2 were prepared by gel combustion and employed for the first time as efficient solid catalysts in a solvent-less liquid-phase cross-dehydrogenative coupling. The facile one-pot catalyst synthesis resulted...

Apiose is a branched pentose naturally occurring either as a component of the plant cell wall polysaccharides or as a sugar moiety present in numerous plant secondary metabolites such as flavonoid and phenylethanoid glycosides, substrates in plant de...

The presence of CO2 in gaseous fuel and feedstock stream of chemical reaction was always considered undesirable. High CO2 content will decrease quality and heating value of gaseous fuel, such as biohydrogen, which needs a practical approach to remove...

Modern civilization is moving from fossil sources of raw materials and, consequently, energy to renewable resources: plant raw materials and solar and wind energy [...]

An alternative method for the preparation of PEMFC electrodes is presented in this work based on the direct deposition of Pt particles onto the gas diffusion layer (Pt@GDL) by hydrothermal reduction of the H2PtCl6 precursor from formic acid, ethylene...
