Article Abstract
A family of silica-supported, magnetite nanoparticle catalysts was synthesised and investigated for continuous-flow acetic acid ketonisation as a model pyrolysis bio-oil upgrading reaction. The physico-chemical properties of FeO/SiO catalysts were characterised by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and porosimetry. The acid site densities were inversely proportional to the FeO particle size, although the acid strength and Lewis character were size-invariant, and correlated with the specific activity for the vapour-phase acetic ketonisation to acetone. A constant activation energy (∼110 kJ mol), turnover frequency (∼13 h) and selectivity to acetone of 60 % were observed for ketonisation across the catalyst series, which implies that FeO is the principal active component of Red Mud waste.

Advances in the direct conversion of CH and CO into acetic acid over bimetallic catalysts supported on H-ZSM-5.

This study developed heterogeneous catalysts composed of ZnO and CeO supported on H-ZSM-5 for the direct conversion of methane (CH) and carbon dioxide (CO) into acetic acid. The acid-base and electronic properties were modulated through oxide impregnation and reduction, aiming to create active sites capable of simultaneously activating both reactants. The samples were characterized by XRD, N physisorption, HRTEM/EDS, NH-TPD, CO-TPD, TPR, FTIR, XPS, CO-DRIFTS, and TGA, and tested in a batch reactor at 300 °C and 10 bar.

A triphenyl-imidazole end-capped donor-acceptor type potential molecular probe 3 has been designed and synthesized. Probe 3 upon interaction with different classes of metal ions/anions and NPPs displayed high selectivity with CN anion (LOD = 20.42 nM) through fluorescence "turn-Off" response and a naked-eye sensitive visible color change.

Several approaches for synthesizing [1-C]2-oxoglutaric acid were attempted, and the synthesis was successfully achieved in 4 steps from trimethylsilyl C-cyanide. The C-breath tests on rats were conducted by orally administering the newly synthesized [1-C]2-oxoglutaric acid, the previously prepared [1'-C]citric acid, and [1-C]acetic acid as a control drug, and the results were compared. The results indicate that [1-C]2-oxoglutaric acid and [1'-C]citric acid may serve as potential substrates for assessing the TCA cycle flux.

Epiphytic orchids have evolved specialized adaptive strategies, such as aerial roots with water-absorbing velamen tissues, to cope with water-scarce and nutrient-deficient habitats. Our previous study revealed that the aerial roots of the epiphytic orchid Phalaenopsis aphrodite lack a gravitropic response, raising the possibility that alternative tropic mechanisms may contribute to their adaptation. In this study, we examined the effects of light and moisture on aerial root growth in P.
