Low-cost diatomite supported binary transition metal sulfates: an efficient reusable solid catalyst for biodiesel synthesis

A diatomite-modified Fe2O3 (Fe2O3/Dia) catalyst was prepared to catalyze the ozonation degradation of sulfachloropyridazine sodium (SPDZ). The chemical oxygen demand (COD) was used as the index of pollutant degradation. The catalytic ozonation experiment showed that the COD removal rate of SPDZ was 87% under Fe2O3/Dia catalysis, which was much higher than that obtained when using Fe2O3 as the catalyst. The characteristics of the Fe2O3/Dia catalyst were investigated, and the successful synthesis of the Fe2O3/Dia composite catalyst was proved by XRD, XPS, SEM, FTIR, BET and other characterization methods. The catalytic mechanism of degradation by ozone with Fe2O3/Dia was analyzed. According to free-radical trapping experiments and an in situ electron paramagnetic spectrometer characterization analysis, the main oxidizing species in the catalytic Fe2O3/Dia ozone system is ·OH. The intermediates in the degradation process of SPDZ were detected and analyzed in detail by liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry. The degradation mechanism and three degradation paths of SPDZ were proposed.

Human efforts to overcome environmental problems from using fossil fuels continue, such as hydroconversion of biomass into bio-jet fuel. Research on producing a jet fuel range of bio-hydrocarbons from used palm cooking oil catalyzed by sulfated zirconia impregnated with nickel-molybdenum bimetal has been successfully conducted. The hydrothermal method synthesized the nano-catalyst material in the sulfation and impregnation processes. The hydroconversion process was carried out at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 300–600 °C for 2 h with a hydrogen gas flow rate of 20 mL/min and a catalyst-to-feed ratio of 1:100 (wt%). Compared with zirconia and sulfated zirconia, NiMo-impregnated sulfated zirconia showed the best activity and selectivity in bio-jet fuel production with liquid product and selectivity of 61.07% and 43.49%, respectively. This catalyst also performed well in three consecutive runs, with bio-jet fuel selectivity in the second and third runs of 51.68% and 30.86%, respectively.
