Lignin-derived bio-oil required upgrades to reduce its oxygen functionalities to produce high
quality liquid fuel that is comparable to those of petroleum source. Hydrodeoxygenation is a …

Nanocasting is a powerful method for creating materials that are more difficult to synthesize
by conventional processes. We summarize recent developments in the synthesis of various …

Steam reforming of methane is an extremely important process for the hydrogen and syngas
production. Nickel‐based catalysts have been extensively employed in the industrial …

The amine moiety is an important functionality for many applications such as enzyme
immobilization on porous solid supports. In this study, mesoporous SBA-15 was …

The health threat of arsenic is well-known, and the US EPA recommends the maximum
contaminant level to be 0.01 ppm or less for arsenic in drinking water. Therefore, advanced …

Mesoporous silicates (MPS) have an ordered pore structure with dimensions comparable to
many biological molecules. They have been extensively explored as supports for proteins …

In the present work, Cu–Ni supported catalysts were tested in ethanol steam reforming
reaction. Two commercial amorphous solids (SiO2 and γ-Al2O3) and three synthesized …

The steam pyrolysis-gasification of biomass, wood sawdust, was carried out with a Ni/MCM-
41 catalyst for hydrogen production in a two-stage fixed bed reaction system. The wood …

A novel adsorbent, aminated and protonated mesoporous alumina, was prepared and
employed for the removal of copper from aqueous solution at concentrations between 5 and …

Organic ligand containing the imidazole [N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-4, 5-dihydroimidazole],
precious metal-chelating functionality, was immobilized on the surface of ordered …
