This research focused on the novel, low-cost and green NaAlO 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 heterogeneous nanocatalyst, which exhibited the excellent performance in catalyzing transesterification of palm oil with methanol for the biodiesel production. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by different methods of the X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 adsorption–desorption, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Hammett indicators, field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (FESEM-EDS) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The transesterification parameters, such as the methanol to oil molar ratio, catalyst content and reaction temperature, were optimized using the central composite design (CCD) based the response surface methodology (RSM), where the maximum biodiesel yield of 97.65% was achieved at the methanol to oil molar ratio of 20.79:1, catalyst content of 10.89 wt% and reaction temperature of 64.72 °C. The biodiesel yield was dropped to 52.16% for the third reused cycle due to the leaching of the active sites into the liquid phase. However, the spent catalyst could be effectively regenerated with a small number of active sites and the regenerated catalyst maintained the biodiesel yield of 93.29% for the sixth reused cycle. The properties of the produced biodiesel were in accordance with the ASTM D 6751 standard. Also, the biodiesel production process was environmental friendly based on the green chemistry metrics.

Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass-derived oxy-compounds to advanced hydrocarbon fuels usually requires bifunctional catalysts containing metals and acidic sites. The appropriate tuning of metal and/or acidic active sites at interfaces of bifunctional catalysts can significantly improve catalyst activity and product selectivity. Here, 4-trifuoromethyl salicylic acid (TFMSA), as a hydrothermal stable organic acid, was employed to tailor the bifunctional interface of Ru/γ-Al 2 O 3 to enhance the catalytic performance on converting lignin-derived phenols to jet fuel range cycloalkanes. More than 80% phenol was converted into cyclohexane at 230 °C for 1 h over Ru/γ-Al 2 O 3 modified by TFMSA, which was about three times higher than that over unmodified Ru/γ-Al 2 O 3 . X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), H 2 chemisorption, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping results indicated that Ru nanoparticles and TFMSA were well distributed on γ-Al 2 O 3 , and a nanoscale intimacy between Ru and TFMSA was reached. Meanwhile, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy after pyridine adsorption (Py-FT-IR) analysis proved that Brønsted acidic sites on the catalytic interfaces of TFMSA modified Ru/γ-Al 2 O 3 had been improved. Moreover, the kinetic and density functional theory (DFT) results suggested that the synergistic effects of adjacent Ru nanoparticles and acidic sites were crutial for promoting the rate-limiting conversion step of phenol HDO to cyclohexane.

In this study, we report a simple strategy to enhance the low-temperature catalytic performance of γ-Al 2 O 3 for carbonyl sulfide (COS) hydrolysis by regulating the dissociation of H 2 O. Specifically, tetrabutylphosphonium chloride (TBuPC), an ionic liquid, was introduced onto γ-Al 2 O 3 via ultrasonic impregnation. There was a strong interaction between Cl in TBuPC and Al sites in tetrahedral interstices of γ-Al 2 O 3 , and Al sites in octahedral interstices were acted as main adsorption sites of H 2 O. Additionally, the hydrogen bond Cl···H-O lowered the dissociation energy of H 2 O on Al sites in octahedral interstices of γ-Al 2 O 3 , leading to the generation of abundant basic –OH groups, which served as active sites for COS adsorption and hydrolysis. Consequently, 3TBuPC/γ-Al 2 O 3 achieved 100 % COS conversion at 60 °C, which was 2.05 times higher than that of γ-Al 2 O 3 . The catalytic mechanism of COS hydrolysis over 3TBuPC/γ-Al 2 O 3 involved the following steps: (1) H 2 O was adsorbed on the γ-Al 2 O 3 surface and dissociated, generating H* and basic –OH groups; (2) COS was adsorbed on the –OH sites, forming the intermediate HSCO 2 - ; (3) HSCO 2 - reacted with H* to release CO 2 and H 2 S. This significant enhancement provides a new insight for the design and development of low-temperature hydrolysis catalysts.

In this work, soot oxidation was conducted over a series of Mn-X/γ-Al2O3(M = Ce, Co and Cu) binary catalysts in a dielectric barrier discharge reactor. The soot conversion in the plasma–catalytic system was in the order of Mn/γ-Al2O3(57.7%) > Mn-Co/γ-Al2O3(53.9%) > Mn-Ce/γ-Al2O3(51.6%) > Mn-Cu/γ-Al2O3(47.7%) during the 30 min soot oxidation process at 14 W and 150 °C. Meanwhile, the doping of Ce, Co and Cu slightly improved the CO2selectivity of the process by 4.7% to 10.3% compared to soot oxidation over Mn/γ-Al2O3.It is worth to note that the order of CO2selectivity was in the opposite order with soot oxidation rate. The effects of discharge power, oxygen content in the carrier gas and reaction temperature on plasma–catalytic soot oxidation was systematically analyzed. The catalyst characterizations, including N2adsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction by H2and temperature-programmed desorption of O2,were conducted to illustrate the reaction mechanisms of plasma–catalytic soot oxidation and reaction pathways.Keywords:plasma–catalysis;soot oxidation;manganese-based oxides;transition metal;binary catalyst

A novel method for synthesizing ZnO/γ-Al2O3 nanofibers by electrospinning and subsequent calcination is reported. The prepared nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The ZnO/γ-Al2O3 nanofibers exhibited excellent capacity for adsorbing organics with a negative zeta potential such as methyl orange (95.8%) and heavy metal ions such as Cr(VI) in aqueous solution. The mechanism of adsorption was investigated, and the adsorption results were fitted using the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Once silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were decorated on the surface of the nanofibers by photoreduction, the Ag/ZnO/γ-Al2O3 nanofibers manifested efficient photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under UV-light illumination. Results confirmed that our Ag/ZnO/γ-Al2O3 nanofibers are a promising adsorbent for the removal of methyl orange and Cr(VI) ions and the adsorbent can be sustainably reused.

Three morphologically uniform γ-Al 2 O 3 crystallites [Al 2 O 3 hexagonal plates (Al 2 O 3 -HP), stacked hexagonal plates (Al 2 O 3 -SHP) and rods (Al 2 O 3 -R)] were controllably synthesized. The Co-Mo oxide precursor was loaded on these γ-Al 2 O 3 substrates via aqueous incipient wetness impregnation and transformed to the sulfides under 10% H 2 S/H 2 (v/v) atmosphere. The mainly exposed facet of Al 2 O 3 -HP and Al 2 O 3 -SHP was identified to be the (1 1 0) and (1 0 0)/(1 1 1), respectively; whereas a polycrystalline structure was observed over Al 2 O 3 -R. The original structural feature of oxide precursors, i.e., 2D polymeric/monomeric as well as 3D polymeric/MoO 3 species substantially varied over Al 2 O 3 -HP, Al 2 O 3 -SHP, and Al 2 O 3 -R, which in turn determines the effectiveness in sulfidation of surface oxide precursors. The richness of MoS 2 /Co 9 S 8 /Co-Mo-S species, and less fraction of partially sulphurated CoMoO x S 2 as well as CoO x /SO x 2− entities were recognized over Al 2 O 3 -HP. Based on the areal activity at 250 °C, the sulfides-Al 2 O 3 (1 1 0) interface is approximately 6–13.8 times more active than the poly-crystalline or commercial γ-Al 2 O 3 supported sulfides for water gas shift (WGS) in a hydrogen-rich stream. The sulfides-Al 2 O 3 (1 1 0) interface also notably outperformed the sulfides-Al 2 O 3 (1 0 0)/(1 1 1) interfaces for the reaction.

Freon refrigerants, whose leakage will cause serious safety and environmental issues, have an urgent need of developing leakage detection technologies. Conventional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors exhibit limited efficacy in detecting halogenated Freons due to their chemical inertness and weak charge-transfer interactions. While recent innovations employing mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 overlayers have enabled Freon detection via catalytic decomposition sensing mechanism, the achieved sensing performance remains suboptimal. In this work, this issue is addressed by engineering a Pd-doped mesoporous γ-Al 2 O 3 /SnO 2 (Pd-γ-Al 2 O 3 /SnO 2 ) gas sensor. The doped Pd atoms not only accelerate the decomposition of Freon molecules on the catalytic layer but also induce the Schottky-barrier effect in the SnO 2 sensing layer. Benefiting from the synergistic effect, the Pd-γ-Al 2 O 3 /SnO 2 gas sensor shows outstanding response, good stability, repeatability, selectivity, and rarely-reported universality in sensing different Freon gases. Notably, a valuable solution is demonstrated in the leakage detection of next-generation refrigerants, Freon R1234yf. The sensing mechanism is deduced by exhaust gas components identification. These results highlight the promising potential for addressing the real-world needs of Freon refrigerant leakage detection technology.

A series of cost-effective (X) K 2 CO 3 /γAl 2 O 3 catalysts for efficient conversion of vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMOS) to vinyltris(β-methoxyethoxy)silane (VTMOEOS) were synthesized. The microstructure and active site of the synthesized catalysts were analyzed by BET, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and CO 2 -TPD. The results showed that the synthesized catalysts formed K–O–Al strong basic sites while maintaining the original structure, which greatly improved the basic strength of the catalysts. It was found that the 60%K 2 CO 3 /γAl 2 O 3 possessed the highest the catalytic activity under the activation temperature of 600 °C by optimizing the preparation conditions of K 2 CO 3 /γAl 2 O 3 . Moreover, the optimal reaction process conditions were also determined by optimizing the experimental reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst dosage, and reactant molar ratio under (60%, 600 °C) K 2 CO 3 /γAl 2 O 3 catalysis. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the conversion of VTMOS was 92.5% and the yield of VTMOEOS was 65%. Meanwhile, the 60%K 2 CO 3 /γAl 2 O 3 catalyst was satisfactorily reusable and maintained a high catalytic activity after four cycles of catalytic reactions.

Low degradation efficiency and significant transition metal leaching are two challenges in persulfate activation systems based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for organic pollutant degradation. Here, the challenges were solved by designing and synthesizing a micron-sized core-shell material, γ-Al 2 O 3 -C-MIL-100(Fe) (γACM), by coating the γ-Al 2 O 3 core with carbon (γ-Al 2 O 3 -C) and futher modifying with MIL-100(Fe). Testing γACM with sulfamethazine (SMZ) demonstrated its outstanding peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation, achieving 92.5 % SMZ removal within 20 min at a low oxidant/pollutant ratio. Fe leaching from γACM was effectively inhibited, with only 3.59 % Fe lost after three recycles. The system showed adaptability across a wide pH range, and usability in sewage effluent, indicating promise for practical application. The hydrophobicity of γ-Al 2 O 3 -C, the coordinatively unsaturated sites in MIL-100(Fe), and the strong bounding of MIL-100(Fe) on γ-Al 2 O 3 -C ensured the effective SMZ gather, PDS activation, and Fe stability respectively, which led to the excellent performances of γACM.

The Fe 2 O 3 -CeO 2 -Bi 2 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, a novel environmental-friendly material, was used to investigate the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of cationic red GTL under mild operating conditions in a batch reactor. The catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation, and characterized by special surface area (BET measurement), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Fe 2 O 3 -CeO 2 -Bi 2 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst exhibited good catalytic activity and stability in the CWAO under atmosphere pressure. The effect of the reaction conditions (catalyst loading, degradation temperature, solution concentration and initial solution pH value) was studied. The result showed that the decolorization efficiency of cationic red GTL was improved with increasing the initial solution pH value and the degradation temperature. The apparent activation energy for the reaction was 79 kJ·mol –1 . Hydroperoxy radicals (HO 2 ·) and superoxide radicals (O 2 – ·) appeared as the main reactive species upon the CWAO of cationic red GTL.

Reaching high activity over Ni-based catalysts for CO 2 methanation at lower temperature remains a critical challenge. Herein, a surface hydroxylation strategy was developed to enhance the catalytic performance of Ni catalysts under mild conditions. By treating γ-Al 2 O 3 with H 2 O 2 solutions of varying concentrations, the surface hydroxyl (–OH) group density was effectively tuned. Catalytic evaluations revealed that hydroxylation of the support significantly enhances CO 2 methanation performance. Among the series, Ni/A-OH-6 exhibited the highest activity, achieving a turnover frequency (TOF) of 2.129 h −1 at 240 °C, approximately eight times higher than that of the unmodified Ni/A catalyst (0.266 h −1 ), thereby demonstrating a remarkable enhancement in intrinsic activity. Comprehensive characterizations demonstrated that surface –OH significantly enhanced CO 2 adsorption via the formation of HCO 3 * species. In situ DRIFTS studies further confirmed that hydroxyl-induced HCO 3 * species convert more readily to HCOO*, facilitating the hydrogenation pathway and thus contributing to the improved low-temperature activity. This work highlights surface hydroxyl engineering as a simple yet effective approach to boost catalytic efficiency, delivering guidance for the rational development of high-efficiency CO 2 utilization catalysts.
