Coconut agro-industrial waste in the production of catalyst containing palladium: The report of a mini-project for teaching of sustainable Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

Palladium nanoparticle biosynthesis via Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) extract: an efficient eco-friendly catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura reactions

“…The other aryl chlorides tested or reacted in the order of trace (entries 9-10) or did not promote the reaction (entry 11). In this study, the TON and TOF values were calculated and proved to be superior (see entry 1) to other catalytic systems that employ similar conditions (conventional heating and the same amount of catalyst) [24][25][26].…”

“…Thus, with the actual knowledge about the composition of PdISM, the catalytic activity of the solid obtained was tested in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of phenylboronic acid with 4-bromotoluene (Scheme1, Table 2). The catalytic systems employed were guided by previous work of our research group and excelled by the use of the eco-friendly reagents [24][25][26].…”

Sewage Sludge in Phenol and Methylene Blue Adsorption: A Miniproject for Teaching Sustainability

“…Table 1 shows that the learning outcomes presented in the course of the activity are compatible with miniprojects for teaching with a similar execution time. [6][7][8][9][10]23 In the first week, the presentation and leveling of the students in the basic concepts that will be worked on was performed. For this, a single meeting lasting 4 h is usually sufficient.…”

“…Engineering courses, due to their design, are excellent for promoting students’ reflection on the optimization of sustainable attitudes . Our research group has been producing and testing chemical miniprojects for applied teaching in engineering courses, − and we observe that this type of pedagogical proposal reflects positively on the teaching–learning process of the students. The use of sludge from a domestic effluent treatment plant (DETP) presents possibilities for our proposal to develop miniprojects for teaching sustainability.…”

Kinetics of Thermal‐Degradation of Betanins: A Teaching Mini‐Project for Undergraduates Employing the Red Beet

“…Although all related to the chemistry component of engineering courses, no reports of practical classes that encompass this triad are available: kinetics, thermodynamics, and food science. It is in this context that our group has been developing teaching mini‐projects focused on deepening relevant chemistry topics for the complete training of engineers (Dalmás et al., ; Oliveira et al., ; Schmitt et al., ; Vargas, Rosa, Rosa, & Rosa, ) through experimental classes, a pedagogical modality of vital importance, where the student puts into practice hypotheses and ideas learned in the classroom about natural or technological phenomena and that are present in their daily life (Carmo & Schimin, ).…”
