A mesoporous silica support was synthesized using the sol–gel method from trichlorosilane. There is a tendency for the specific surface area and the proportion of silica particles mesopores to increase during all stages of sol–gel synthes...
Ionic liquids (ILs) are increasingly used in elastomer technology due to unique physico-chemical properties, which are stable at the temperature of preparation and during processing of rubber compounds. The latest IL application concept is supported...
Functionalized siloxanes are one of the most important classes of organosilicon compounds, thus the enhancement of current methods of its synthesis is an important issue. Herein, we present the selective and highly effective reaction between 1,1,3,3-...
For PEM fuel cell operation, high-purity hydrogen gas containing only trace amounts of carbon monoxide is a prerequisite. The water–gas shift reaction (WGSR) is an industrially applied mature operation mode to convert CO with H2O into CO2 (maki...
The CO2 adsorption capacity and the CO2/N2 selectivity of a series of Supported Ionic Liquid-Phase adsorbents (SILPs), including the novel inversely structured SILP “Inverse SILPs”, are thoroughly investigated. ZIF-8, ZIF-69 and ZIF-70 we...
Monitoring hydrogen consumption has allowed studying the progress of the liquid phase hydrogenation of cyclohexene in toluene with Rh SILP (supported ionic liquid phase) catalysts prepared by the immobilization of the [{RhCl(cod)}2] complex on differ...
A systematic study of the kinetics of supported-ionic-liquid-phase (SILP) Au catalysis (Au-IL/AC) has been established in the continuous gas-phase hydrochlorination of acetylene. We reveal that the effect of ionic liquid (IL) film on substrate diffus...
Noble metal catalysts currently dominate the landscape of chemical synthesis, but cheaper and less toxic derivatives are recently emerging as more sustainable solutions. Iron is among the possible alternative metals due to its biocompatibility and ex...
Recent data indicate the link between the number and function of T regulatory cells (Treg) in the gut immune tissue and initiation and development of autoimmunity associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Since type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) in the...
This study presents a highly efficient method of a synthesis of n-butyl acrylate via esterification of acrylic acid and n-butanol in the presence of supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) biocatalyst consisting of the lipase B from Candida antarctica (C...
The oxidation of ethylbenzene using dioxygen was carried out applying a new catalytic system—heterogeneous N-hydroxyphthalimide (PS-NHPI) coated with an ionic liquid containing CoCl2. The catalytic system represents a combination of solid catal...
An important process of chemical engineering is the removal of moisture from natural gas and process gases by fixed-bed adsorption. Experiments were conducted to design (ad)sorption columns, predict breakthrough behavior, and determine the velocity o...
A matheuristic approach based on a reduced two-stage Stochastic Integer Linear Programming (SILP) model is presented. The proposed approach is suitable for obtaining a policy constructed dynamically on the go during the rollout algorithm. The rollout...
Heterogeneous catalysis, although known for over a century, is constantly improved and plays a key role in solving the present problems in chemical technology. Thanks to the development of modern materials engineering, solid supports for catalytic ph...
We present an ARXPS study on the surface composition and interfacial behavior of commercial [Rh(COD)2][TfO] in [C2C1Im][TfO], [C4C1Im][TfO], [C8C1Im][TfO], and [C2C1Im][EtOSO3]. The complex was found to be non-intact in a solution of these ILs throug...
The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by bacteria is a strategic route for sustainable nanobiotechnology; however, the genomic and biochemical mechanisms that make it possible remain poorly defined. In this study, bacteria native to sil...
The subject of the research, which is the Polish managed part of Białowieża Forest together with Białowieża National Park, a remnant of primeval forests, is one of the most valuable forest areas in Europe. This article presents the history of the use...
Differing levels of humidity, sunlight exposure or temperature in different areas of mountain ranges are fundamental to the existence of particular vegetation types. A better understanding of even local variability of trees may bring significant bene...
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a major commensal bacterium in the small intestine, are well known beneficial bacteria which promote establishment of gut-centric immunity, such as anti-inflammation and anti-infection. In this report, we show that a LAB s...
