Fast Catalytic Oxidation Of Phenol Over Modified Zeolite L Nanocrystals, Eng-Poh Ng Dr. Jan 2013

Fast Catalytic Oxidation Of Phenol Over Modified Zeolite L Nanocrystals, Eng-Poh Ng Dr.

Eng-Poh Ng

Iron modified zeolite L nanocrystals (Fe/KL) were synthesized hydrothermally by the incorporation of Fe3+ in zeolite L lattice. XRD results showed an increase in the inter-planar spacing and lattice parameters. Transition characteristic of the tetrahedral Fe3+ species were observed in the UV–Vis spectrum. The oxidation of phenol in the presence of acetic acid over Fe/KL gave 93.40% conversion in 30 min with selective formation of 77.47% catechol and 22.53% hydroquinone. The catalytic activity was significantly enhanced by the addition of acetic acid. It was found that the acetic acid was oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to form peracetic acid, which served …

Sulfonic Acid Functionalized Mcm-41 As Solid Acid Catalyst For Tert-Butylation Of Hydroquinone Enhanced By Microwave Heating, Eng-Poh Ng Jan 2013

Sulfonic Acid Functionalized Mcm-41 As Solid Acid Catalyst For Tert-Butylation Of Hydroquinone Enhanced By Microwave Heating, Eng-Poh Ng

Eng-Poh Ng

Covalently linked sulfonic acid (-SO3H) modified MCM-41 mesoporous catalysts was prepared, characterized and its catalytic activity under microwave irradiation was evaluated. The NH2-MCM-41 was first prepared by anchoring (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) on Si-MCM-41 and further reacted with 1,4-butane-sultone to yield the desired acid catalyst. The mesophase and porosity of samples were determined by XRD, TEM and N2 sorption isotherm analyses. The presence of sulfonic acid moiety was confirmed by FT-IR, TG/DTA, sulfur elemental analysis and in situ IR study of pyridine and ammonia adsorptions. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity and high selectivity in tert-butylation of hydroquinone under microwave irradiation. No …

Zeolite Linde Type L As Micro-Solid Phase Extraction Sorbent For The High Performance Liquid Chromatography Determination Of Ochratoxin A In Coffee And Cereal, Eng-Poh Ng Dr. Jan 2012

Zeolite Linde Type L As Micro-Solid Phase Extraction Sorbent For The High Performance Liquid Chromatography Determination Of Ochratoxin A In Coffee And Cereal, Eng-Poh Ng Dr.

Eng-Poh Ng

Zeolite Linde Type L (LTL) crystals with different length, diameter and particle size (nanosized LTL, rod LTL, cylinder LTL and needle LTL) were synthesized, characterized and were used as sorbent in the micro-solid phase extraction of ochratoxin A (OTA) before the high performance liquid chromatography detection. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits of OTA for coffee and cereal were 0.09 ng g−1 and 0.03 ng g−1, respectively, while the quantification limits were 0.28 ng g−1 and 0.08 ng g−1, respectively. The recoveries of OTA of coffee and cereal spiked at 0.5, 10 and 25 ng g−1 ranged from 91.7 …

Nanosized Molecular Sieves Utilized As An Environmentally Friendly Alternative To Antioxidants For Lubricant Oils, Eng-Poh Ng Dr. Jan 2011

Nanosized Molecular Sieves Utilized As An Environmentally Friendly Alternative To Antioxidants For Lubricant Oils, Eng-Poh Ng Dr.

Eng-Poh Ng

Lubricants play a significant part in current environmental considerations since they are an integral and indispensable component of modern technology. The production, application and disposal of the lubricants have to follow increasingly strict requirements for protecting the environment and living organisms. In this respect, molecular sieve (LTL type zeolite) is investigated as a potential environmentally friendly alternative to traditional antioxidant additives for lubricant oils. Accelerated oxidation experiments using pure base oil and additivated base oil in the presence of the LTL molecular sieve are carried out in parallel, and the oxidation processes are monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, chromatography, total …
