The pivotal role played by ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) in the synthesis of chiral amines used as building blocks for drugs and pharmaceuticals is widely recognized. However, chiral bulky amines are challenging to produce. Herein, a ω-TA (TR8)... more
Due to the increasing interest and the use of immobilized biocatalysts in bioremediation studies, there is a need for the development of an assay for quick and reliable measurements of their overall enzymatic activity. Fluorescein... more
Thin films of nanocrystalline cubic AlN were synthesized by vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) route on Si and fused silica substrates at appropriate conditions. The formation of cubic AlN was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. We also... more
Methods of intensification of the process of liquid-phase cyclohexane oxidation in the presence of complex catalytic systems, catalytic solutions and individual catalysts have been considered in the article. Quantitative and qualitative... more
One-dimensional nickel titanate nanofibers (NiTiO3 NFs) were synthesized and loaded with acetic acid-treated exfoliated and sintered sheets of graphitic carbon nitride (AAs-gC3N4) to fabricate a unique heterogeneous structure. This novel... more
The influence of nickel introduction on the catalytic performance of cobalt micro- and mesoporous Beta zeolite catalysts in Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis was studied. Catalysts containing 3 wt% of nickel and 10 wt% of cobalt were prepared by... more
The preparation of tungsten oxide (WO3) thin film by direct current (DC) reactive sputtering magnetron method and its photoelectrocatalytic properties for water oxidation reaction are investigated using ultraviolet-visible radiation. The... more
Biodiesel fuel has shown great promise as an alternative to petro-diesel fuel. Biodiesel production is widely conducted through transesterification reaction, catalyzed by homogeneous catalysts or heterogeneous catalysts. The most notable... more
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a photocatalyst that has gained interest amongst researchers because of its non-toxicity, narrow band gap and superior charge transport. Due to its fast charge recombination, modification is vital to counteract... more
This article mainly concerns the performance and behavior and investigation of changes in activity and selectivity of Low Si/Al of ZSM-5 to find the best production distribution. The non-promoted catalyst to be compared with the promoted... more
This work demonstrates new evidence of the efficient destruction and mineralization of an emergent organic pollutant using UV-A and titanium nanosized catalysts. The target compound considered in this work is the primary metabolite of a... more
Self-assembled Si nanowires can be grown using chemical vapor deposition accelerated by metal catalyst nanoparticles. The diameter of the nanowires depends on the size of the nanoparticles, which in turn can be controlled by varying the... more

Biodiesel is a promising liquid fuel that is mainly derived from triglycerides and is utilized in diesel engines directly or after blending with conventional gasoline. Triglycerides comprise fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which are... more
Three-stage route was proposed to functionalize AC with reactive SO 3 Hgroups. Thermolysis of the functionalized ACs was examined with TPD-IR-TG/DTG and TPD-MS. Up to 1.1 mmol g À1 of the surface SO 3 H-groups are grafted on the AC... more
Issues a challenge to arts & design educators pull back, grasp the bigger picture, and take a more active hand in designing interventions and accommodations that benefit a greater diversity of learners, both in the art classroom and beyond.
Esterification of acetic acid with n-butanol catalyzed by supported heteropoly acid dodecatungstophosphoric acid, H3PW12O40 (DTP), on acid modified Montmorillonite clay (AT-Mont) matrix were carried out. Among different catalysts, 20% DTP... more
The continuously growing need for clean water has increased research looking for new and efficient ways to treat wastewater. Due to its magnetic properties, Bismuth ferrite, a photo-catalyst, has introduced a novel field of... more
The oxy-steam reforming of liquefied natural gas reaction (OSR-LNG) is promising process for syngas generation. In this paper, the catalytic properties of NiO/La2O3 systems prepared by wet impregnation and co-precipitation methods were... more
Methane, discovered in 1766 by Alessandro Volta, is an attractive energy source because of its high heat of combustion per mole of carbon dioxide. However, methane is the most abundant hydrocarbon in the atmosphere and is an important... more
This review concentrates on success stories from the synthesis of approved medicines and drug candidates using epoxide chemistry in the development of robust and efficient syntheses at large scale. The focus is on those parts of each... more
