Cyclohexanol is mainly used for the production of adipic acid, which is an intermediate for the production of nylon-6,6. The production of cyclohexanol through the hydration of cyclohexene with an zcidic cataly, e.g., ...

Lipases have increasingly been used transformation of water insoluble substrates such as hydrolysis of triglycerides to glycerol and fatt acids, and esterification reactions. This catalytic process is heterogeneous and can ...

The clouding phenomenon of a nonionic surfactant solution occurs when the solution is heated above the cloud point temperature. Above the cloud point, the turbid solution separates into two phases, viz. micellar-rich or ...

Heterogeneous "aluminoxane-free" catalysts for ethylene polymerization based on in-situ generation of weakly coordinating metallocenium salts were developed through functionalizing silica support with tris (pentafluorophenyl) ...

The aromatization of n-hexane was investigated on 1% Pt-containing L-zeolite catalysts under clean, sulfur-, and water-containing feeds whereas the aromatization of n-octane was studied only under clean feed on different ...

The cloud point extraction (CPE) of aromatic contaminants (benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene) from wastewater was studied as batch experiments in laboratory scale and continuous operation in a pilot scale, differential ...

The adsorption kinetics of metal ions on a strong-acid cation resin (Dowex50-x8) from mixed-ion solutions of Ca2+/Mg2+/H+ were investigate in both batch and fixed-bed operations. From batch adsorption experiments, the ...

Ternary blends of PA 6/LDPE/Surlyn 9020 inonomer were prepared by melt mixing in a twin-screw extruder. Dynamic mechanical properties and thermal behavior of these blends were studied. The addition of Surlyn 9020 inonomer ...

Photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) was studied using TiO2, Pt/TiO2 prepared by the sol-gel methods and commercial TiO2 (Degussa P25) as photocatalysts. The influence of dissolved oxygen on the reaction ...

The preparation of water-soluble low molecular weight chitosan (LMCS) by acid hydrolysis is reported. The change in appearance from flake to powder and the reduction in molecular weight related to the hydrolysis time are ...
