Continuous-flow chemistry is a modern technology that encompasses the green chemistry principles for the multi-gram synthesis of various API and drugs. Herein, we have developed a highly efficient and environmentally benign metal-free alkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using secondary alcohols in the presence of inexpensive Amberlyst®-15 under continuous-flow. This method is broad substrate scope

Here we analyzed the photocatalytic degradation of toluene using composite systems consisting on a tungsten oxide component supported on a pure anatase phase. To scrutinize the photocatalytic process, here we presented a new method with combine spectroscopic and kinetic tools to render novel and quantitative information mostly obtained in situ under reaction conditions. First, it allows to extract

Hydropyrolysis is a vital step in IH2® technology for the production of fungible drop-in biofuels from biomass and waste feedstocks. Hydrogen at high pressures in fast hydropyrolysis aids in improving the H/C ratio of bio-oil through deoxygenation pathways such as dehydration, decarboxylation and decarbonylation. The main objectives of this study are to understand the composition of organics and the

Algae are becoming increasingly popular as feedstocks for various fine chemicals and fuel intermediates. Cultivation of algae can be environment-friendly as they can fix high amounts of carbondioxide from the environment, and also remove hazardous pollutants from wastewater. Moreover, algae cultivation presents high per hectare oil yield and faster growth rates than terrestrial biomasses. Owing to
