Ni/KIT-6 catalysts were synthesized using ordered mesoporous silica-based KIT-6 molecular sieves as a support in conjunction with an impregnation method. These catalysts were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N 2 -Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction. The results showed good dispersion of metallic nickel (Ni) on the surface of the KIT-6 and strong interactions between the metal and carrier. The surface areas of the catalysts were in the range of 387–788 m 2 /g and the average pore diameters were in the range of 5.5–8.6 nm. Following H 2 reduction, these materials were applied to the catalytic cracking of a waste cooking oil model compound to produce hydrogen and carbon nanotubes in a laboratory-scale fixed bed reactor. A catalyst with a Ni loading of 10 wt% showed optimal catalytic activity. Reaction trials using an oil flow rate of 0.04 mL/min at 750 °C provided an instantaneous H 2 volume-based proportion of 44.2% with a maximum H 2 concentration in the gaseous products of 59.0% after 25 min. Analyses by thermogravimetry and Raman spectroscopy indicated that carbon nanotubes deposited on the spent catalyst had good oxidative stability and a high degree of graphitization.

In this paper, the foam-like multi-stage porous 3wt%Al-KIT-6-4T(WI) catalyst was prepared and employed for efficient catalyzing biomass-derived GVL to butene. It is found that the prepared 3wt%Al-KIT-6-4T(WI) catalyst possess abundant mesoporous and presented the foam-like microstructure. Due to this, the 3wt%Al-KIT-6-4T(WI) catalyst has large specific surface area (517.09 m 2 ·g −1 ) and adequate amount of surface acid sites (both Brønsted and Lewis acid site). The special microstructure further improves the mass transfer efficiency of reactants and products. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the butene yield over the 3wt%Al-KIT-6-4T(WI) catalyst can up to 93.78% at 300 °C, after reacting 240 min. Moreover, the 3wt%Al-KIT-6-4T(WI) catalyst still showed excellent regeneration stability, and above 72% butene yield can be maintained after 7th cycle tests. Graphical Abstract

BACKGROUND A series of mesoporous Pt@KIT−6/SAPO−11 catalysts with SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratios of 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 and Pt loadings of 0.4, 0.8, or 1.2 wt% were prepared via an in situ encapsulation process using a PEO − PPO − PEO triblock copolymer (EO 20 PO 70 EO 20 , P123) as the mes. China 750001 oporous template and KIT−6 molecular sieves as the silicon source. RESULTS These catalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface area analysis, and pyridine–infrared spectroscopy (Py − IR). The results showed that Pt nanoparticles with particle sizes of 3–7 nm were uniformly dispersed on the supports. These materials also exhibited good mesoporous structures with specific surface areas of 138–197 m 2 /g and average pore sizes of 7.1–9.9 nm. The specimens having a SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of 0.4 also showed an orderly strip−shaped pore structure. The Py − IR results indicated that the catalysts had both Brønsted acid and Lewis acid sites, with total acid contents in the range of 77.8–131.1 μmol/g. CONCLUSION The decarboxylation of oleic acid using these materials under CO 2 was examined. The catalyst with a SiO 2 :Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of 0.4 and a Pt loading of 0.8 exhibited the best catalytic performance and a C8 − C17 alkanes yield as high as 85.1% at 340 °C by using a catalyst−to−oil mass ratio of 1:10 and a reaction time of 5 h. This performance was attributed to the ordered mesoporous structure of this catalyst along with its high surface area (173 m 2 /g), good crystallinity (92.8%), suitable acid content (98.6 μmol/g), and abundant Pt metal active sites. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Objective The aroma of the aromatic class of traditional Chinese medicines can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms by which volatile oil from Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride (VOCRPV) alleviates slow-transit constipation (STC).Methods The main active ingredients in VOCRPV were determined by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Due to poor stability, an olive oil solution was prepared to enhance the volatile oil’s stability. A mouse model of STC was induced using loperamide hydrochloride. The mice’s body weight was monitored weekly. The number of fecal pellets, fecal water content, and small intestinal propulsion rate were detected. The colon tissues were analyzed using HE staining. The serum content of gastrointestinal hormones was measured using the corresponding ELISA kit. The protein expressions of stem cell factor (SCF) and c-Kit in colon tissues were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry methods. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to detect the intestinal flora.Results The contents of p-isopropyl toluene, γ-Terpinene, and d-Limonene were determined by HPLC. VOCRPV and its olive oil solution significantly enhanced body weight, increased the number of fecal pellets, improved fecal water content, and boosted small intestinal propulsion rate in mice with loperamide-induced STC, while also repairing colon mucosa damage. They also increased gastrin (Gas) and motilin (MTL) levels in treated mice, upregulated the expression of SCF and c-Kit proteins, and restored intestinal flora balance in STC mice.Conclusion VOCRPV could effectively alleviate STC, and olive oil enhances its therapeutic effect. VOCRPV alleviates STC by elevating Gas and MTL levels, activating the SCF/c-Kit signaling pathway, and modulating intestinal flora.

The development of feasible ecofriendly processes for biodiesel production is highly desirable to meet the requirement of green chemistry and sustainable development. To reach this goal, the molybdenum and zirconium oxides were incorporated into commercial available KIT-6, mesoporous silica nanoparticle , by a solvothermal method, to form MoO 3 /ZrO 2 /KIT-6 catalyst. The targeted solid composite catalysts were structurally characterized using XRD , TEM, SEM, XPS , EDS, TG, and nitrogen porosimetry measurement. The characterization results showed that the ordered porous structure of the support was well persevered with high surface area, and the molybdenum and zirconium oxides could be highly dispersed on the mesoporous support. The acidic nature of the solid catalyst was evaluated in detail by means of NH 3 -TPD and infrared spectra of adsorbed pyridine techniques. It was indicated that the acidities of the solid catalysts, with both Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, could greatly affected their catalytic activity . This catalyst displayed high activities to the transesterification of triglycerides and esterification of free fatty acids (FFAs) simultaneously owing to the synergistic effect of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, thus achieving one-pot heterogeneous production of biodiesel as the low-quality oil was used as feedstocks . The influence of reaction parameters and the catalyst reusability were also investigated, and the best oil conversion of 92.7% was obtained under the optimized reaction conditions. The targeted catalyst exhibited a better FFAs and water tolerant for the reaction, advantageously with no noticeable decline in the catalytic performance even after five reaction cycles.

In this study we sought to elucidate the therapeutic effects of fenchone on constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and the underlying mechanisms. An IBS-C model was established in rats by administration of ice water by gavage for 14 days. Fenchone increased the reduced body weight, number of fecal pellets, fecal moisture, and intestinal transit rate, and decreased the enhanced visceral hypersensitivity in the rat model of IBS-C. In addition, fenchone increased the serum content of excitatory neurotransmitters and decreased the serum content of inhibitory neurotransmitters in the IBS-C rat model. Meanwhile, western blot and immunofluorescence experiments indicated that fenchone increased the expressions of SCF and c-Kit. Furthermore, compared with the IBS-C model group, fenchone increased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus , Blautia , Allobaculum , Subdoligranulum , and Ruminococcaceae_UCG-008 , and reduced the relative abundance of Bacteroides , Enterococcus , Alistipes , and Escherichia-Shigella on the genus level. Overall, fenchone ameliorates IBS-C via modulation of the SCF/c-Kit pathway and gut microbiota, and could therefore serve as a novel drug candidate against IBS-C.

Nowadays, heterogeneous catalytic esterification for synthetic esters production is believed more compatible with the postulates of green chemistry and sustainability goals. In this work, we developed hydrophobic stannous oxide supported on mesoporous silica KIT-6 materials (SnO/KIT-6) via a feasible synthesis and post-grafting modification approach, which served as solid heterogeneous catalysts and then tested in the synthesis of complex polyolester (CPE). The catalytic behaviour of as-prepared catalysts was also systematically investigated and the highest carboxyl conversion ( ca. 95.6%) could be achieved under the optimal preparation conditions within the studied range. The obtained results revealed that Lewis acidity of the tin-based catalysts played a crucial role in esterification conversion efficiency, which varied depending upon the dispersion of different SnO loading. Furthermore, the reusability of the catalyst was evaluated and demonstrated relatively stable catalytic activity for up to five consecutive cycles. Additionally, the possible esterification reaction mechanism of CPE over the modified S-SnO/KIT-6 was also elucidated. The resultant catalysts leveraged full advantage of the unique textural properties and adequate surface hydrophobicity, intensively facilitating the diffusion of large polar molecules and resisting to deactivation from generated water. Collectively, the findings of present study may provide some valuable insights for adopting productive and environmentally benign catalytic processes to synthesize ester-based lubricants in the future.

During steam reforming, the performance of a catalyst and amount/property of coke are closely related to reaction intermediates reaching surface of a catalyst. Herein, modification of reaction intermediates by placing Mg-Al-hydrotalcite above Ni/KIT-6 catalyst in steam reforming of glycerol was conducted at 300 to 600 °C. The results revealed that the catalytic activity of Ni/KIT-6 in the lower bed was enhanced with either Mg 1 -Al 5 -hydrotalcite (containing more acidic sites) or Mg 5 -Al 1 -hydrotalcite (containing more alkaline sites) as upper-layer catalyst. The in situ infrared characterization of steam reforming demonstrated that Mg-Al-hydrotalcite catalyzed the deoxygenation of glycerol, facilitating the reforming of the partially deoxygenated intermediates over Ni/KIT-6. Mg-Al-hydrotalcite as protective catalyst, however, did not protect the Ni/KIT-6 from formation of more coke. Nonetheless, this did not lead to further deactivation of Ni/KIT-6 while Mg 5 -Al 1 -hydrotalcite even substantially enhanced the catalytic stability, even though the coke was much more significant than that in the use of single Ni/KIT-6 (52.7% vs. 28.6%). The reason beneath this was change of the property of coke from more aliphatic to more aromatic. Mg 5 -Al 1 -hydrotalcite catalyzed dehydration of glycerol, producing dominantly reaction intermediates bearing C=C, which formed the catalytic coke of with carbon nanotube as the main form with smooth outer walls as well as higher aromaticity, C/H ratio, crystallinity, crystal carbon size, thermal stability, and resistivity toward oxidation on Ni/KIT-6 in the lower bed. In comparison, the abundance of acidic sites on Mg 1 -Al 5 -hydrotalcite catalyzed the formation of more oxygen-containing species, leading to the formation of carbon nanotubes of rough surface on Ni/KIT-6.

Gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors, as the most common mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, are adjuvantly treated with multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as imatinib and sunitinib, but there are problems of drug resistance and complex methods of monitoring therapeutic agents. The pathogenesis of this disease is related to mutations in tyrosine kinase (KIT) or platelet-derived growth factor receptor α, an important target for drug therapy. In recent years, the screening of relevant tyrosine kinase inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicine has become a hotspot in antitumor drug research. In the current study, the KIT-SNAP-tag cell membrane chromatography (KIT-SNAP-tag/CMC) column was prepared with satisfying specificity, selectivity, and reproducibility by chemically bonding high KIT expression cell membranes to the silica gel surface using the SNAP-tag technology. The KIT-SNAP-tag/CMC-HPLC-MS two-dimensional coupling system was investigated using the positive drug imatinib, and the results showed that the system was a reliable model for screening potential antitumor compounds from complex systems. This system screened and identified three potential active compounds of evodiamine (EVO), rutaecarpin (RUT), and dehydroevodiamine (DEVO), which possibly target the KIT receptor, from the alcoholic extract of the traditional Chinese medicine Evodia rutaecarpa . Then, the K D values of the interaction of EVO, RUT, and DEVO with KIT receptors measured using nonlinear chromatography were 7.75 (±4.93) × 10 −6 , 1.42 (±0.71) × 10 −6 , and 2.34 (±1.86) × 10 −6 mol/L, respectively. In addition, the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay validated the active effects of EVO and RUT in inhibiting the proliferation of high KIT-expressing cells in the ranges of 0.1–10 µmol/L and 0.1–50 µmol/L, respectively. In conclusion, the KIT-SNAP-tag/CMC could be a reliable model for screening antitumor components from complex systems. Graphical Abstract

Catalytic transformation of carbohydrates to bio-chemicals such as 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has become a hot research topic, but development of cost-effective/efficient catalysts and processes remains a challenge for industrial application. In this study, efficient bifunctional Sn/KIT-1/C catalysts with controllable acid sites were synthesized and applied for glucose-to-HMF conversion. Strong Lewis acid sites were introduced into the framework of disordered mesoporous silica by liquid-phase grafting of tin chloride, and Bronsted acid sites were generated by inserting carbon into the mesopores, followed by controlled oxidation of the carbon. Characterizations revealed that optimizing the amount of carbon source, and carbonization and oxidation temperature provided a proper amount and strength of acidity that could significantly catalyze glucose dehydration reaction to HMF with suppressed byproducts formation. The best catalyst Sn/KIT-1/C(75–400-300) demonstrated superior catalytic performance at 175 °C for 2 h under THF/H 2 O biphasic system, obtaining 78.4 ± 2.1% and 82.9 ± 2.4% HMF yield and selectivity, respectively. The high activity may be attributed to catalyst high surface area/porosity, and the presence of well-balanced amounts and strength of Lewis/Bronsted acid sites. The catalyst could maintain its excellent catalytic activity for five consecutive runs, suggesting the high physical–chemical stability of the catalyst. The results obtained in this work demonstrated that bifunctional metal-supported silica–carbon composites can be a promising catalyst for simple/complex carbohydrates conversion to HMF/bio-based chemicals.

Three-dimensional mesoporous silica is a distinctive nanomaterial celebrated for its unique structure, substantial specific surface area, enhanced utilization of active surfaces, and improved adsorption and catalytic reaction capabilities. Nevertheless, its limited surface functional groups often impede its effective ion adsorption capacity. Here, inspired by the mussel-adhesive phenomenon, in this study, we introduced a straightforward layer-by-layer assembly approach to fabricate a new series of KIT-6@x-catechol/polyethyleneimine composites, the catechol/polyethyleneimine is the shell and KIT-6 is the core. Importantly, catechol(CA) and polyethyleneimine(PEI) polymers as selective layers with dense structures and abundant cation exchange groups, resulting in outstanding adsorption performance for our material. At a pH of 3.0, Ga(III) exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 88.65 mg g −1 on the adsorbent. Furthermore, the adsorbent demonstrated selective adsorption capabilities for Ga(III) over Ge(IV), Al(III), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Co(II). The primary adsorption mechanism of KIT-6@x-CA/PEI is chelation that occurs through coordination between the O atom on the phenolic hydroxyl group of CA and Ga 3+ , Ga(OH) 2+ , Ga(OH) 2 + under pH 3.0 conditions. In summary, the synthesized KIT-6@x-CA/PEI exhibits significant potential for water treatment containing Ga(III) through adsorption processes.
