Cascading g-C₃N₄ and Peroxygenases for Selective Oxyfunctionalization Reactions

Peroxygenases are very interesting catalysts for specific oxyfunctionalization chemistry. Instead of relying on complicated electron transport chains, they rely on simple hydrogen peroxide as the stoichiometric oxidant. Their poor robustness against H₂O₂ can be addressed via in situ generation of H₂O<sub>2<...

Modelling and design of a flat plate fixed film photoreactor for phenol degradation

This paper presents the mathematical modelling and design of a flat plate photoreactor with a fixed film photocatalyst to degrade phenol. Phenol was used as target pollutant as it is one of the most studied contaminants in photocatalysis and it is present in many of the wastewater streams containing pesticides, drugs, and dyes which cannot be...

Novel approaches for biocatalytic oxyfunctionalization reactions

Biocatalytic oxyfunctionalizations, especially of non - activated hydrocarbons, attract considerable attention for synthetic organic chemistry thanks to their high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity, which difficult to achieve by chemical means. Many enzymatic oxyfunctionalizations have been described. However, there are many hurdles towards...

Functionalized TUD-1: Synthesis, characterization and (photo-)catalytic performance

The new mesoporous material; TUD-1 is chosen of which the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization for (photo)-catalytic performance are extensively investigated in this study. The synthesis of the new catalytic materials M TUD-1 (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mo, Fe, Co and Cu) is carried out through an easy one-pot synthesis procedure, mainly...
