Author:Makgwane, Peter R; Ray, SSDate:2013The promotional effect of nanosized Ru, Fe, Au, and Mn particles on VOHPO(sub4) ·0.5H(sub2)O (VHP) catalytic properties was investigated in benzene hydroxylation reaction using hydrogen hydroperoxide (H(sub2)O(sub2) as oxidant. Catalytic ...Read more
Author:Makgwane, Peter R; Ray, SSDate:Feb 2015Nanostructured vanadium-tin oxide (V(sub2)O(sub5)/SnO(sub2)) catalysts with V(sub2)O(sub5) loading in a range of 5–20 wt% have been synthesized. The V(sub2)O(sub5)/SnO(sub2) nanostructures exhibited effective catalytic performance in the ...Read more
Author:Bambalaza, Sonwabo E; Langmi, HW; Mokaya, R; Musyoka, Nicholas M; Khotseng, LEDate:May 2020High-pressure (700 MPa or ∼100 000 psi) compaction of dehydroxylated and hydroxylated UiO-66 for H2 storage applications is reported. The dehydroxylation reaction was found to occur between 150 and 300 °C. The H2 uptake capacity of powdered ...Read more
Author:Makgwane, Peter R; Ray, SSDate:Mar 2015A highly active and magnetically recyclable nanostructured copper–iron oxide (CuFe) catalyst has been synthesized for hydroxylation of benzene to phenol under mild reaction conditions. The obtained catalytic results were correlated with the ...Read more
