Abstract. High-energy ball milling has been employed to convert a microcrystalline, stoichiometric (S/Mo = 2), catalytically completely inactive MoS2 (prepared by high-temperature decomposition of ammonium tetrathiomolybdate, ATM) into an active catalyst, the activity profile of which was studied with test reactions (ethylene hydrogenation, H2/D2 scrambling, cis–trans isomerization of cis…
A conversion of 99.05% sunflower oil into biofuel using a combined catalysis between tin oxide supported in mesoporous material (MM) and sodium hydroxide, without adding an step to separate the catalyst in the biofuel formation, was performed in our laboratory.1 The use of combined catalysis brought an improvement in conversion with respect to the alkaline catalysis.
