“…The morphology and size of the particles can be adjusted by the proper choice of the surfactant and a number of parameters, which include the concentration of water, surfactant, and nature of non-polar phase. Ganguly et al (2011) synthesized MgO nanoparticles by the micro-emulsion method. The results showed that monodisperse and uniform MgO nanoparticles 8-10 nm in size with a surface area ~ 108 m 2 /g were obtained.…”

-Bacterial pollution is a great risk for human health. Nanotechnology offers a way to develop new inorganic antibacterial agents. Nano-inorganic metal oxide has a potential to reduce bacterial contamination. MgO is an important inorganic oxide and has been widely used in many fields. Many studies have shown that MgO nanoparticles have good antibacterial activity. Therefore, in this paper, the main synthesis methods, antibacterial activity and antibacterial mechanisms of MgO nanoparticles are reviewed.

“…The longer d-spacing ranging from 0.753-1.230 nm may be related to Mg-species. The reported lattice fringes for Mg-species were 0.21 nm for MgO (200) (Ganguly et al 2011;Kim et al 2006;Su et al 2011 …”

“…In addition, the photocatalysts also showed impressive recyclability of up to five photocatalytic activity cycles (Feng et al 2013). The applications of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanomaterials are extremely wide extending from areas in catalysis (Carabineiro et al 2011;Ganguly et al 2011;Heidari et al 2009), to superconductivity (Yuan et al 1996). This is due to its unique physical and chemical properties.…”

“…Furthermore, the introduction of mesosized pores in the material allows reactant molecules to diffuse through, thereby increasing the conversion and/or selectivity towards the desired product. The cetyltetramethyl ammoniumbromide (CTAB) assisted synthesis of MgO nanoparticles prepared by Ganguly et al [25] have a high surface area and has applied this material as a catalyst in Claisen-Schmidt condensation for the synthesis of chalcone.…”

Transesterification of glycerol with dimethyl carbonate over nanocrystalline ordered mesoporous MgO–ZrO2 solid base catalyst

One-pot nanocrystalline mesoporous MgOZrO 2 solid solution was synthesised by a simple evaporation induced self assembly route with ZrO(NO 3 ) 2 Á8H 2 O and Mg(NO 3 ) 2 Á4H 2 O as precursors along with triblock copolymer of Pluronic P123 as structure directing agent. The prepared catalysts were characterised by X-ray diffraction studies (XRD), N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, TPD of CO 2 and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD results confirm the formation of nanocrystalline ordered mesoporous structure of MgO-ZrO 2 (MZx). Additionally the TEM and N 2 sorption study confirms the ordered mesoporous nature of MZx materials. The Mg 2? incorporation into zirconia lattice presumably stabilizes the tetragonal phase and avoids excessive growth of zirconia crystals. The activity of the prepared samples was tested for the transesterification of glycerol. Among all tested, the MZ2 catalyst (Mg:Zr ratio 1:2) proved to be efficient for the transesterification of glycerol by dimethyl carbonate (96 % conversion and 88 % yield). We attribute the high efficiency of MZ2 to its basic nature and highly dispersed MgO species.
