They are sustainable and safe, and their specificity is another characteristic that improves the performance in the process. Among enzymes, lipase is relevant due to the ability to play different roles in the industry and the possibility of collecting them from microbial sources that are found in industrial residues. This can reduce the costs of enzyme production. In relation to that, lipase immobilization is an interesting process that allows the enzymes to be reused and improves enzyme robustness. Among them, the cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) methodology is attractive due to its simplicity, low cost (given the absence of support), and greater interaction with the substrate. Thus, in this review, we discussed the potential of lipase. We reviewed the traditional and new sources of obtaining lipases, along with the ways of improving production, activity, and application in the industry.","PeriodicalId":178524,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Research","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132725540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Micro-and mesopore surface areas and volumes of the hierarchical MFI (Mobil Five zeolites) were assessed following several methods: (i) N2 adsorption at 77 K using classical and corrected t-plot analyses methods, (ii) pre-adsorption of n-nonane was followed by the study of the N2 adsorption at 77 K, and (iii) non-local-density functional theory (NLDFT) analysis using either the N2 adsorption method at 77 K or the Ar adsorption method at 87 K. In order to assess the viability of each method, a set of hierarchical MFI-type zeolites was prepared by different approaches: alkaline treatment (desilication), synthesis in clear solution (nanocrystals), synthesis in the presence of bifunctional organic surfactant (nanosheets), and micelle-templating assisted alkaline treatment. NLDFT methods could not be used to accurately determine the micro-and mesopore surface areas, as larger surface areas compared to those obtained using the BET equation were obtained. This overestimation is even more pronounced with Ar at 87 K. Results from the classical t-plot analysis performed under conditions of N2 adsorption at 77 K for mechanical mixtures of MFI and MCM-41 revealed the underestimation of the micropore volumes and the overestimation of the mesopore surface areas. Corrections were provided for t-plot analysis. The results obtained using the corrected t-plot method were in good agreement with the results obtained using the NLDFT method in the presence of Ar at 87 K during the calculation of the micro-and mesopore volumes of hierarchical MFI-type zeolites. Micropore and mesopore surface areas calculated by the corrected t-plot method were in good agreement with those calculated using the n-nonane pre-adsorption method for the hierarchical MFI-type zeolites characterized by the presence of large zeolite domains. The NLDFT method, in the presence of Ar, can be used to assess the micro-and mesopore volumes of the hierarchical zeolites at 87 K. However, it cannot be used to determine the surface areas. The corrected t-plot method can be used to efficiently calculate both the volumes and surface areas.","PeriodicalId":178524,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130081330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A commercial activated carbon fiber (ACF10) was selected as the support, and a TiO2 coating was synthesized using Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Experiments were carried out using a photocatalytic reactor irradiated with monochromatic LEDs (365nm). Two different processes have been studied: adsorption/photolysis and adsorption/photocatalysis. The objective was to completely remove the CIP and to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment by following the formation/elimination of aromatic transformation products (ATPs), aliphatic acids, fluoride, and the TOC in the liquid phase. The adsorption kinetic of the CIP by ACF10 was rather slow (71% of CIP adsorbed by 24 h and total adsorption by 20 days). A good fit between the external diffusion limitation model and the experimental curve (kext = 0.0056 h-1) showed an external transfer limitation due to a tight weave of fibers. For the adsorption/photolysis process, a significant decrease of the concentration was achieved (95% after 6 h of irradiation), but ten different ATPs were detected in the liquid phase. To eliminate CIP, 24 h of adsorption and 6 h of irradiation were then necessary, but most of the ATPs remained in solution (total treatment duration: 72 h). With ACF10-TiO2, the same ATPs were present in solution and were eliminated after the 6 h irradiation step (total treatment duration: 30 h). At the end of the treatment, several non-toxic aliphatic acids were found to be present, showing the higher efficiency of this sequential process. The presence of a significant amount of fluorine in the liquid phase suggests some surface photochemical reactions of the adsorbed molecules (CIP and transformation products) and a partial regeneration of the composite material.","PeriodicalId":178524,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130283172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The polyaromatic compounds feed is a combined simulated model feed, which is similar to light cycle oil (LCO) in composition. The feed is processed in a fixed bed reactor over a catalyst mixture: in the first step, selective hydrogenation of di and tri-aromatic compounds occurs in the presence of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, followed by conversion of selective hydrocracking of partial hydrogenated polyaromatic hydrocarbons into BTX-rich stream over Y zeolite. The structural properties and Pt dispersion of Pt/Al2O3 were studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The acidity of Y zeolite with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios (SAR) was studied by temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD). In addition, the textural properties of catalysts were determined using the N2 adsorption and desorption method. Different parameters such as the effect of temperature, effect of weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), different SAR of Y zeolite, Pt/Al2O3, and Y zeolite wt% ratios, and paraffin concentration were investigated. The maximum BTX yield of ~28 wt.% was obtained at 450°C, WHSV-0.7 h-1, H2 pressure 60 bar, Pt/Al2O3, and Y zeolite ratios of 1:2 (wt%) at Y zeolite SAR of 80. These results suggest that the yield of BTX strongly depends on the hydrogenation function (Pt/Al2O3) and acidity function of Y zeolite. Furthermore, the concentration of paraffin plays a key role in the conversion of diaromatics and triaromatics and desired products of BTX formation.","PeriodicalId":178524,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Research","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130772923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nitrile and amide groups are key structures in natural products and biologically active molecules. The direct conversion of biomass platform compounds into nitriles and amides will undoubtedly be an important guide for biomass utilization. In this paper, a facile and efficient triphosgene-assisted one-pot conversion for aldehydes and ketones into nitrile and amides is presented. Triphosgene is a phosgene alternative that contains both ester linkage and chloromethyl units and easily reacts with oximes for the preparation of nitriles and amides. However, due to the hydrolysis of oximes to aldehydes or ketones, the reaction of oximes with triphosgene cannot fully convert the corresponding nitriles and amides. The protocol tandem ensures a smooth process without the use of organic bases or metal catalysts. Using biomass-derived platform compounds, various functionalized aromatic, aliphatic, and allylic aldehydes and ketones were successfully converted to nitriles and amides in excellent yields. In comparison to step-by-step reactions, this tandem strategy features multi-step reactions in one pot, mild reaction conditions, and fewer by-products.","PeriodicalId":178524,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122438921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
