Benign-by-design preparation of iron oxides/humins catalytic nanocomposites
Filiciotto, Layla; Balu, Alina M.; Romero, Antonio A.; Rodríguez-Castellón, Enrique; Van der Waal, Jan Cornelis; Luque, Rafael (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)The current acid-catalyzed conversion of biomass feedstocks yields substantial quantities of undesired by-products called humins, for which applications are yet to be found. This work aims to provide a starting point for ... -
Continuous flow conversion of biomass-derived methyl levulinate into gamma valerolactone using functional metal organic frameworks
Ouyang, Weiyi; Zhao, Deyang; Wang, Yantao; Balu, Alina M.; Len, Christophe; Luque, Rafael (2019)Zirconium based metal organic framework, UiO-66 (Zr), was successfully synthesized via solvothermal method, followed by various characterization including XRD, thermal analysis, N2 physisorption and TEM. As-synthesized ... -
Efficient and environmentally friendly microwave-assisted synthesis of catalytically active magnetic metallic Ni nanoparticle
Zuliani, Alessio; Balu, Alina M.; Luque, Rafael (ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 2017)Pure magnetic metallic nickel was synthesized by a simple and fast microwave-assisted method using a monomode microwave reactor. Nickel chloride was employed as metal precursor, while an environmental-friendly mixture of ... -
Facile mechanochemical modification of g-C3N4 for selective photo-oxidation of benzyl alcohol
Cerdana, Kenneth; Ouyang, Weiyi; Colmenares, Juan C.; Muñoz-Batista, Mario J.; Luque, Rafael; Balu, Alina M. (2019)Graphitic carbon nitride enriched with ZnO or Fe2O3 were synthesized using a simple one-pot mechanochemical method. By using this method, composite samples were synthetized without the production of any potentially hazardous ... -
Mechanochemical Synthesis of TiO2 Nanocomposites as Photocatalysts for Benzyl Alcohol Photo-Oxidation
Ouyang, Weiyi; Kuna, Ewelina; Yepes, Alfonso; Balu, Alina M.; Romero, Antonio A.; Colmenares, Juan C.; Luque, Rafael (MDPI, 2016)TiO2 (anatase phase) has excellent photocatalytic performance and different methods have been reported to overcome its main limitation of high band gap energy. In this work, TiO2-magnetically-separable nanocomposites ... -
Reconstruction of humins formation mechanism from decomposition products: A GC-MS study based on catalytic continuous flow depolymerizations
Filiciotto, Layla; Balu, Alina M.; Romero, Antonio A.; Angelici, Carlo; Van der Waal, Jan Cornelis; Luque, Rafael (Elsevier, 2019)Humins, a by-product of biomass chemical conversion technologies, still present controversies in their structural and mechanistic identification. Traditional studies of the structure and mechanism have focused so far on ... -
Wheat bran valorisation: Towards photocatalytic nanomaterials for benzyl alcohol photo-oxidation
Balu, Alina M.; Ouyang, Weiyi; Reina, Jose M.; Kuna, Ewelina; Yépez, Alfonso; Romero, Antonio A.; Colmenares, Juan C.; Luque, Rafael (Elsevier, 2017)In this work, we have successfully synthesized a set of titania photocatalytic nanocomposites by the incorporation of different TiO2 content on wheat bran residues. The obtained catalysts were characterized by different ...
