  • Under pseudo-first order conditions, the monomeric species of Cr(VI) was found to be kinetically active in the absence of phenanthroline (phen) whereas in the phen-promoted path, the Cr(VI)-phen complex undergoes a nucleophilic attack by etane-1,2-diol to form a ternary complex which subsequently experience a redox decomposition leading to hydroxy ethanal and Cr(III)-phen complex. The effect of the cationic surfactant (CPC), anionic surfactant (SDS) and neutral surfactant (TX-100) on the unpromoted and phen-promoted path have been studied. Micellar effects have been explained by considering the preferential partitioning of reactants between the micellar and aqueous phase. Combination of TX-100 and phenanthroline will be the ideal for chromic acid oxidation of ethane-1,2-diol in aqueous media.

  • Because hydrotreating (HDT) of FCC gasoline is one of the important processes used to prepare such gasoline for blending, the development of a catalyst for this process is of great interest. Currently, the industrial HDT of FCC gasoline consists of two stages and the creation of a new catalyst for one-stage HDT will make this process more efficient. Recently, our group has developed the CoMo/Al2O3-ASA catalyst and studied the influence of Si/Al ratio on the target reactions of HDT process. Despite the high selectivity and activity, the catalyst with ASA is not applicable in industry because of its low strength. The present work moves forward to study the influence of the ASA content in the catalyst support and clarify the possibility to develop the catalyst that combines high activity and selectivity in HDT reactions with successful performance. Here we show that the CoMo catalyst with ASA/Al2O3 molar ratio 1/1 in the support is the best combination for FCC gasoline hydrotreatment due to exceptional properties of the catalyst composition.

  • A novel strontium titanate/binary metal sulfide ($SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4$) heterostructure was synthesized by a simple two-step hydrothermal method. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance of $SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4$ composites was evaluated in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of $SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4-5%$ is much higher than that of pure $SrTiO_3$, $SnCoS_4$, $SrTiO_3/SnS_2$ and $SrTiO_3/CoS_2$. The $SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4$ composite material with 5 wt.% of $SnCoS_4$ showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency for MO degradation, and the degradation rate could reach 95% after 140 min irradiation time. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was ascribed to not only the improvement of visible light absorption efficiency, but also the construction of a heterostructure which make it possible to effectively separate photoexcited electrons and holes in the two-phase interface.
