To develop biodiesel production, cost-effective feedstocks such as agricultural waste, food waste, and non-edible/waste cooking oil were utilized. A heterogeneous solid base catalyst was synthesized by calcining a mixture of waste golden apple snail shell (<em>Pomacea canaliculata</em>) and cultivated (<em>Musa sapientum</em>) banana peel. In transesterification process, potassium oxide (K₂O) derived from banana peel is used as a cocatalyst to improve the catalytic activity of calcium oxide (CaO) catalyst derived from waste shell. The innovative CaO-K₂O catalyst was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) technique. The morphology and elemental composition of calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and oxygen (O) in the catalyst were validated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The CaO catalyst exhibited a BET surface area of 10.88 m²/g, which was enhanced to 14.62 m²/g upon combination with K₂O. The Hammett indicator of CaO catalyst fell between 7.2 &lt; H_&lt; 9.8. However, the CaO-K₂O catalyst exhibited a higher value of 15.0 &lt; H_&lt; 18.4, which could be attributed to the phase transition from CaO to CaO-K₂O. To investigate the effects of catalyst concentration, ethanol/oil molar ratio, and transesterification time on the yield of fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE). The optimal conditions for FAEE synthesis were determined using a central composite design (CCD) approach with response surface methodology (RSM). The regression equation obtained for the CCD model has a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.9921, indicating that this model is well-fitted. At 3.69 wt% catalyst concentration, 19.48:1 ethanol/oil molar ratio, and 1.80 h transesterification time, the highest FAEE yield from <em>Jatropha Curcas</em> oil (JCO) of 97.06 % was obtained. The novel catalyst has a strong yield and can be utilized for up to 6 cycles. It was found that the corresponding yield was 90 % when employing the same process parameters, demonstrating the high reusability of this catalyst. The biodiesel produced from non-edible JCO meets the criteria for standard biodiesel (ASTM D-6751 and EN 14214). The CaO-K₂O catalyst is inexpensive, easy to make, biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly because it is derived from a biological residue. Because of these characteristics, it may be an appropriate candidate for the role of “green catalyst” in sustainable energy production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Saudi Chemical Society","volume":"28 3","pages":"Article 101836"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1319610324000310/pdfft?md5=e0fac0f2c1e60ade854c2dbcc815cd8c&pid=1-s2.0-S1319610324000310-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140113791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This composite has been characterized using various material characterization techniques and was found to have a heterojunction amongst Yb₂Zn-TiO₆ and g-C₃N₄, leading to higher light absorption and poorer charge carrier recombination rates. Furthermore, the evaluation of the charge carrier density revealed that the incorporation of small sized ZnO (40 nm) into Yb₂Zn-TiO₆@g-C₃N₄ led to heightened disintegration of the photoinduced charge carriers. This observation implies that the presence of said metal oxide enhances the photocatalytic performance by greatly promoting the effective separation of charge carriers for various applications. When tested with bromothymol blue, the 20 wt% ZnO/Yb₂Zn-TiO₆@g-C₃N₄ composite showed a photodegradation rate several times greater (98 %) than individual ZnO, C₃N₄ and Yb₂Zn-TiO₆, respectively. The degradation efficiency of the ZnO/Yb₂Zn-TiO₆@g-C₃N₄ nanostructure in the absence of light was 24 %. The increased photoactivity of the composite material is due to the efficient separation of charge carriers and also due to the high redox capabilities resulting from the heterojunction. The composite also demonstrated stable photocatalytic performance over five cyclic runs and was effective in treating real printed ink wastewater.

The physicochemical properties of synthesized zeolites were evaluated and compared by XRD, EDX-dot-mapping, NH3-TPD, BET, FT-IR, and TGA analyses. The catalytic assessment of synthesized zeolites in the HTO (n-hexane to olefins) process in a fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and Weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) equal to 4 h⁻¹ at 550 °C was evaluated. Various parameters such as selectivity towards light olefins, propylene to ethylene (P/E ratio), production of light alkanes, and aromatic compounds (BTX) were investigated. The results show that using metals led to the improvement and adjustment of the acid sites of zeolite, and the highest amount of light olefin and the lowest amount of coke were obtained. The result of the n-hexane to olefin process showed that the yield of light olefins was significantly improved in all modified catalysts compared to parent zeolite MTW.

This synthesis involves a quaternary composition denoted as P(OT)/MES/CS/ZnF NCs, achieved through chemical polymerization techniques. The resulting NCs were characterized and applied for the removal of Brilliant Green (B.GR) and Acid Red (A.RE). Four distinct compositions, namely pure P(OT), binary P(OT)/MES, ternary P(OT)/MES/CS, and quaternary P(OT)/MES/CS/ZnF NCs, were synthesized. The outcomes revealed that the quaternary P(OT)/MES/CS/ZnF NCs exhibited the highest adsorption capacities for B.GR and A.RE at)27.03 and 142.8 mg⁻¹(, respectively. The findings revealed that the most favorable parameters for the removal of A.RE were attained at a pH of 2, using 15 mg of P(OT)/MES/CS/ZnF NCs at a concentration of 25 mg/L for a duration of 120 min.

The greatest real wastewater removal efficiencies for A.RE dye and B.GR dye, respectively, were found to be 99.5% and 97.6% under these operating circumstances. These optimal quaternary NCs demonstrated the ability to be regenerated four times without significantly compromising their adsorption properties and exhibited a remarkable capacity to remove 96–98% of dyes from real polluted water. Through the use of regression data and a pseudo-second-order model, the adsorption kinetics were explained, with R² values of 0.994 for A.RE and 0.993 for B.GR, respectively.

Moreover, the antimicrobial result showed that compounds iminopyridazine (<strong>7</strong>c) followed by iminopyridazine (<strong>7</strong>a) followed by iminopyridazine (<strong>7</strong>b) exhibited excellent antimicrobial properties toward all utilized strains, usually greater than that of common reference drugs, with MIC values ranging from 13 to 21 ppm, from 9 to 14 ppm, and from 8 to 19 ppm whereas, the remaining substances appeared to be promising effective. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) revealed that pyridazine scaffolds containing NH group, as well as substituted electron withdrawal group (Cl) in <em>para</em>-position for benzene ring attributed to thiazole moiety have the best activity. The current study successfully illustrated the possible application of heterocyclic derivatives with pyridazie nucleus including thiazole ring as the main compound in the development of dual antiviral (COVID-19) and antibacterial pharmaceuticals in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Saudi Chemical Society","volume":"28 2","pages":"Article 101830"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1319610324000255/pdfft?md5=43f3bd6dad057b184c4e9e552f95f70b&pid=1-s2.0-S1319610324000255-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140030730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
