Photocatalytic TiO2-Based Nanostructures as a Promising Material for Diverse Environmental Applications: A Review
Μaria-Anna Gatou, Athanasia Syrrakou, Nefeli Lаgopati et al. · 1 Feb 2024
Contemporary technological and industrial advancements have led to increased reliance on chemicals for product innovation, leading to heightened contamination of water sources by traditional pollutants (organic dyes, heavy metals) and disease-causing microorganisms. Wastewater treatment processes now reveal “emerging pollutants”, including pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, and agricultural chemicals. While some are benign, certain emerging pollutants can harm…
Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Pyrazole Derivatives: A Review
Issam Ameziane El Hassani, Khouloud Rouzi, Hamza Assila et al. · 5 Sep 2023
Pyrazole, characterized by a five-membered heterocyclic structure featuring two neighboring nitrogen atoms, serves as a core element. Pyrazoles hold a privileged status as versatile frameworks in various sectors of the chemical industry, including medicine and agriculture. Previous reviews have extensively highlighted the significance of pyrazoles and their diverse biological activities, encompassing roles such as antituberculosis,…
Carbon Nanotubes: A Review of Synthesis Methods and Applications

Bio-Oil: The Next-Generation Source of Chemicals
Henrique Machado, Ana F. Cristino, Sofia Orišková et al. · 28 Jan 2022
Bio-oil, although rich in chemical species, is primarily used as fuel oil, due to its greater calorific power when compared to the biomass from which it is made. The incomplete understanding of how to explore its chemical potential as a source of value-added chemicals and, therefore, a supply of intermediary chemical species is due to…
Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis for Light Olefins from Syngas: A Review of Catalyst Development
Arash Yahyazadeh, Ajay K. Dalai, Wenping Ma et al. · 21 Jul 2021
Light olefins as one the most important building blocks in chemical industry can be produced via Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) from syngas. FT synthesis conducted at high temperature would lead to light paraffins, carbon dioxide, methane, and C5+ longer chain hydrocarbons. The present work focuses on providing a critical review on the light olefin production using…
