ABSTRACT Fischer–Tropsch (FT) process is a promising method for producing liquid fuels and other valuable chemicals through CO hydrogenation. The catalyst activity and product selectivity can be strongly affected by different parameters such as support and promoters. The physicochemical and textural properties of the support affect the metal–support interaction, crystallite size, metal dispersion, mass transfer of reactants/products, mechanical strength, and thermal stability of the catalyst. Promoters can also be used as structural, textural, electronic modifier, stabilizers, and catalyst-poison-resistant, which can improve the catalytic performance. According to the parameters mentioned above, this paper reviews the brief history of the FT process, the effect of different supports and promoters on the catalytic performance of cobalt-based catalysts. In addition to the catalyst properties, the reactor must also be designed appropriately to handle the heat of this highly exothermic reaction. The reactor types have also been reviewed and compared as a crucial part of the catalytic reactions. Graphical Abstract

ABSTRACT It is crucial to control NOx emission into the atmosphere because it can make several harmful health and environmental effects. Many techniques are available for NOx reduction, and among them, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is one of the most efficient techniques for NOx removal in flue gas cleaning process. The reduction of NOx by CO offers a simple and low-cost technology for reducing NOx emissions from mobile or stationary sources. In this review, NOx emission, different NOx control technologies, and the challenges for the SCR process are studied. This paper reviews various types of catalysts, including supported and unsupported metal oxide catalysts as efficient catalysts for NOx reduction by CO. The reported experimental researches are analyzed to make an overview of the NOx reduction through CO-SCR process. Moreover, catalytic performances in the presence of oxygen, water steam, and sulfur dioxide, which usually exist in exhaust gases produced in the combustion process, are discussed. Moreover, this paper reviews the possible reaction mechanisms for the CO–SCR.

ABSTRACT Partial oxidation of methane (POM) offers a promising option to produce syngas for downstream processes such as hydrogen production and Fischer-Tropsch processes. POM in fixed-bed reactors requires an oxygen separation plant with high operation cost and safety risks. On the contrary, membrane reactors can provide an improved process by integrating both oxygen separation and catalytic reaction processes. With many advantages including high purity and efficient oxygen separation from the air at the catalytic reaction conditions, mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes (MIEC) caught great attention in the scientific research field over the past two decades. In this review, POM using different catalysts in fixed-bed reactors was firstly summarized with emphasizing on perovskite-based catalysts, and then the material screening of MIEC membrane reactors was introduced and linked to the selection of conventional and perovskite catalysts. The catalytic activity, reaction mechanisms, and emerging challenges have been analyzed. Furthermore, future research directions have been outlined by highlighting the effect of electronic properties, continuous reduction-oxidation in the presence of oxygen flux, and chemical reaction mechanism on membrane/catalyst.

ABSTRACT Alkanediols with five and six carbon atoms (1,2- & 1,5-pentanediols and 1,2- & 1,6-hexanediols, respectively) are an important class of industrial chemicals having wide application. Their production from lignocellulosic biomass-derived furfural and its derivatives using solid catalysts is a sustainable and attractive approach. Several bifunctional catalysts with metal (for hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis) and acid/base (for ring opening) functionalities have been reported. Effective and selective conversion of furfurals to a desired diol is still a challenge. This review discusses the recent advances in catalyst development for pentane- and hexanediols. The reaction pathways, active sites, and possible reaction mechanisms over the solid catalysts are discussed. A comparative catalytic activity data of the known catalysts are reported.

ABSTRACT During the past decades, there have been enormous developments in catalysis in the form of great innovations such as precise structure characterization, surface functionalization, and effective utilization of active sites. In both academic and industrial sectors, the development of efficient nanosized catalysts has received considerable attention because it can improve the efficiency of the catalytic process and the selectivity of products, which can minimize the overall production cost and the amount of chemical wastes generated by improving the atomic efficiency. However, bulk-scale synthesis and utilization of nanocatalysts are hindered by the high synthetic cost, tedious synthesis procedure, and difficulty in the separation and recovery of the catalysts after the reactions. In this context, superparamagnetic nanoparticles have attracted much attention as a catalyst and as a support owing to their robust structure, low cost, environmental benignity, and easy separation under an external magnetic response. In this review, we focused on organic catalysis and photocatalysis using magnetically retrievable core–shell nanocatalysts with various functionalities. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the synthesis of magnetic core–shell nanocatalysts with suitable functionalities for catalysis, recent developments in organic and photocatalytic reactions using core–shell catalysts, and challenges to be addressed as part of future research activities. The first part summarizes the various synthetic methods of magnetic nanocores, and the second part overviews the detailed functionalization methods for the growth of shells on the surface of the magnetic nanocores, along with the merits and challenges to-date. In the last section, the efficiency, recoverability, and reusability of magnetic core–shell nanocatalysts are reviewed for a variety of organic and photocatalytic reactions.

ABSTRACT Inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reactions have gained comprehensive attraction in recent years. Accordingly, the synthetic approaches for one of the coupling partners, namely s-tetrazine, have been extensively investigated. Generally, the main synthetic method of s-tetrazine relied on the condensation of two nitriles to give the corresponding symmetric/asymmetric tetrazines with moderate to excellent yields. However, the practical synthesis route and commercial/synthetic availability of the feedstock nitriles are still elusive. It is therefore probably worth summarizing the existing methods and typical biological applications that have been demonstrated in recent years. In brief, this overview will be split into three parts. First, we will summarize the typical approaches toward the synthesis of s-tetrazines till now. Then, we will provide the representative bio-orthogonal reactions by the combination of s-tetrazines with unsaturated compounds under physiological conditions. Eventually, we will propose a direction for the practical and efficient synthesis of s-tetrazine.

ABSTRACT This article provides a comprehensive and critical review of the latest studies on catalytic glycerol dehydration-oxidation to acrylic acid. The two-bed catalytic system in one or two reactors involves glycerol dehydration to acrolein and subsequent oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid. Zeolites, metal oxides, heteropoly acids, and phosphates are effective in the dehydration of glycerol to acrolein. Mo–V–O catalysts appear active in the acrolein oxidation to acrylic acid. The glycerol can be completely converted to acrolein with 98% selectivity. In such a two-step process, the step of catalytic dehydration is thought to be critical. A few recent studies reveal that the conversion of glycerol to acrylic acid in two reactors can be also achieved via allyl alcohol as intermediate. For the one-bed catalytic glycerol oxydehydration to acrylic acid, a single catalyst must possess both active acid sites and active redox sites. Mo–V–O, W–V–O, Mo–V–W–O, W–V–Nb–O oxide catalysts, and heteropoly acid catalysts are particularly promising. Currently, a 60% yield of acrylic acid can be achieved over H0.1Cs2.5(VO)0.2(PMo12O40)0.25(PW12O40)0.75 at 340°C. However, all the catalysts rapidly deactivate due to coking. Coking usually occurs during the glycerol oxydehydration step. Optimizing reaction conditions such as increasing water and oxygen feeding, lowering reaction temperature, tuning the catalysts by finely doping, adjusting the surface acidity and enlarging pores of the solid catalysts can inhibit coking to some extent by slowing the deactivation of catalyst. Yet coking over catalysts is a major obstacle when conducting glycerol oxydehydration on a large scale. We suggest that future work should place an emphasis on revealing the essence of coking, further designing coking-resisting catalysts, and developing an efficient reaction and separation system.

ABSTRACT Pesticides and organic waste constitute a group of environmental pollutants that are widely distributed in our environment due to various human activities. Adsorptive removal and photocatalytic degradation of these pollutants from water have emerged as energy and cost-effective technologies. However, advanced oxidation technologies are gaining attention as an effective method for wastewater treatment capable of degrading a diverse spectrum of organic contaminants. Photocatalysis is a promising advanced oxidation technology to alleviate water pollution problems. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most popular photocatalyst due to its low cost, nontoxicity, high oxidizing abilities, and easy immobilization on various surfaces. The current review aims to highlight recent advancements in photocatalytic degradation of pesticides and major organic pollutants using TiO2-based photocatalysts. Indeed, most of the methods, which employed potent catalysts, showed and exhibited successful degradation of the pesticides under various conditions. We believe this topic of research is extremely vital and will continue to grow in recent years, reaching ultimate desirable results and find more applications in different fields of study.

ABSTRACT This review mainly focuses on purely Ag-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AgAAC) so called click reaction to synthesize 1,4-regioisomers of 1,2,3-triazoles. The most established catalyst Cu (I) developed by Fokin–Sharpless and Meldal group in 2002 for AAC reaction have been further extended to different other transition metal catalysts because of certain limitations of CuAAC methods. Among different transition metal catalyzed methods, AgAAC is the most studied one having same electronic configuration, d10 (AgI) with that of CuI and shows high catalytic performance.

ABSTRACT In recent years, the reactions of abundantly available, inexpensive, and structurally diverse alkenyl acids (-C=C-COOH) with C-X (X = halogen) or C-H coupling partner have emerged as vital strategies for the streamlined synthesis of functionalized alkenes with extrusion of innocuous CO2. Various alkenyl acids such as cinnamic acids can act as stable surrogates for the polymerization prone styrenes/olefins, which otherwise need special attention for their handling and storage. Furthermore, cinnamic acids can be easily prepared through various methodologies including Knoevenagel-Doebner (KD) condensation, Heck coupling reaction, etc. Recently, various one-pot tandem methodologies involving the decarboxylative coupling of KD/Heck sequence with C-H or C-X substrate have come into fore. The present review article edifies about the recent advances, scope and limitations for C-C bond formation via (i) direct decarboxylative functionalization of C-X or C-H substrate with alkenyl acids, (ii) tandem one-pot multicomponent decarboxylative approaches (involving in situ generated alkenyl acids) e.g. coupling of KD/Heck sequences with C-X or C-H substrate.

Various alkenyl acids such as cinnamic acids can act as stable surrogates for the polymerization prone styrenes/olefins, which otherwise need special attention for their handling and storage. Furthermore, cinnamic acids can be easily prepared through various methodologies including Knoevenagel-Doebner (KD) condensation, Heck coupling reaction, etc. Recently, various one-pot tandem methodologies involving the decarboxylative coupling of KD/Heck sequence with C-H or C-X substrate have come into fore. The present review article edifies about the recent advances, scope and limitations for C-C bond formation via (i) direct decarboxylative functionalization of C-X or C-H substrate with alkenyl acids, (ii) tandem one-pot multicomponent decarboxylative approaches (involving in situ generated alkenyl acids) e.g. coupling of KD/Heck sequences with C-X or C-H substrate.
