The formation of the CoPO phase was confirmed by XRD analysis, revealing a crystallite size of 27  nm. The optimal synthesis temperature was found to be 800 °C based on thermal analysis. The modified synthesis method allows for obtaining a homogeneous distribution of spherical grains with surface area of 3.78 m² g⁻¹. The catalytic activity is attributed to hydroxyl radicals (HO·) generated through the activation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The degradation rate decreased to 10% after 300 min in the presence of 500 mM tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), a well-known HO· scavenger. Several reaction parameters influencing the Fenton-like process were investigated and the highest BY-28 degradation yield was achieved under neutral pH with a CoPO dose of 1.25 g/L and H₂O₂ concentration of 50 mM. The catalyst was successfully reused five times, maintaining a removal efficiency of 80% after 60 min with a good crystallinity revealed by XRD analysis. Moreover, other organic dyes commonly found in the textile wastewater were also degraded. The kinetic study revealed that the degradation reaction of BY-28 follows the Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbery (BMG) model, while the thermodynamic analysis indicated that the process is non-spontaneous and endothermic. This study offers valuable insights into the performance, kinetics, and thermodynamics of cobalt phosphate-based Fenton-like catalysts for the degradation of organic dyes, highlighting their potential as effective candidates for such applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":509,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Surveys from Asia","volume":"29 3","pages":"284 - 296"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the Co_0.6Cu_0.25Zn_0.15Fe₂O₄ nanoparticles are mixed from the very beginning with the titanium precursor solution.

Finally, the limitations, the challenges, and future developments of ZIFs-based hybrid catalysts are also proposed, hoping that this timely review can be useful for researchers in promoting sustainable biodiesel generation and other relevant biorefineries using ZIFs-based catalysts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":509,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Surveys from Asia","volume":"29 3","pages":"195 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the effectiveness of hydrothermal sulfonation was studied on various lignin-carbons prepared at different thermal conditions of 400–600 °C for 1 and 2 h. The sulfonated lignin-carbon catalysts produced were characterized and evaluated for their catalytic performance in levulinic acid (LA) esterification under selected reaction conditions to synthesize ethyl levulinate (EL). The catalyst with the highest EL yield and LA conversion was selected for extended reaction time (1–6 h) to study the time-dependent performance in LA esterification. The influence of catalyst acidity and the surface area of the prepared catalysts on the reaction behavior was assessed and further analyzed through an extensive comparative study with related literature. The results indicated that all lignin-carbon catalysts exhibited enhanced porous structures and surface areas of 193–368 m²/g, along with amorphous characteristics. Additionally, a reduction in catalyst acidity was observed, decreasing from 1.3 to 0.5 mmol/g as the thermal conditions of lignin-carbon preparation increased. The catalytic activity was found to decrease for lignin-carbon prepared at higher thermal conditions. The catalyst performance achieved 75.9 mol% EL yield (TOF of 0.02 s⁻¹) with 76.5% LA conversion, and the EL yield increased to 81.1 mol% when the reaction time was extended to 5 h. The carbon catalyst can be reused over five reaction cycles with a decrease in EL yield from 81.1 mol% to 62.2 mol%. In comparative study, catalyst acidity plays an important role in catalyzing the esterification reaction of levulinic acid to ethyl levulinate, serving as a key design indicator for carbon-based catalysts.
