Research status and prospect of purification technology of sulfur-containing odor gas

Catalytic purification of sulphur-containing malodorous gases has attracted wide attention because of its advantages of high purification efficiency, low energy consumption and lack of secondary pollution. The selection of efficient catalysts is the key to the problem, while the preparation and optimisation of catalysts depend on the analysis of experimental results and in-depth mechanistic analysis. By analysing the published literature, bibliometric analysis can identify existing research hotspots, the areas of interest and predict development trends, which can help to identify hot catalysts in the catalytic purification of sulphur-containing odours and to investigate their catalytic purification mechanisms. Therefore, this paper uses bibliometric analysis, based on Web Of Science and CNKI databases, CiteSpace and VOS viewer software to collate and analyse the literature on the purification of sulphur-containing odour pollutants, to identify the current research hotspots, to summarise the progress of research on the catalytic purification of different types of sulphur-containing odours, and to analyse their reaction mechanisms and kinetics. On this basis, the research progress of catalytic purification of different kinds of sulfur odour is summarized, and the reaction mechanism and dynamics are summarized.

Recent Advances in Catalysis Involving Bidentate N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

Since the discovery of persistent carbenes by the isolation of 1,3-di-l-adamantylimidazol-2-ylidene by Arduengo and coworkers, we witnessed a fast growth in the design and applications of this class of ligands and their metal complexes. Modular synthesis and ease of electronic and steric adjustability made this class of sigma donors highly popular among chemists. While the nature of the metal-carbon bond in transition metal complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) is predominantly considered to be neutral sigma or dative bonds, the strength of the bond is highly dependent on the energy match between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the NHC ligand and that of the metal ion. Because of their versatility, the coordination chemistry of NHC ligands with was explored with almost all transition metal ions. Other than the transition metals, NHCs are also capable of establishing a chemical bond with the main group elements. The advances in the catalytic applications of the NHC ligands linked with a second tether are discussed. For clarity, more frequently targeted catalytic reactions are considered first. Carbon-carbon coupling reactions, transfer hydrogenation of alkenes and carbonyl compounds, ketone hydrosilylation, and chiral catalysis are among highly popular reactions. Areas where the efficacy of the NHC based catalytic systems were explored to a lesser extent include CO2 reduction, C-H borylation, alkyl amination, and hydroamination reactions. Furthermore, the synthesis and applications of transition metal complexes are covered.

Porphyrin-based porous polyimide polymer/Pd nanoparticle composites as efficient catalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions

Two porphyrin-based porous polyimide polymer/Pd nanoparticle composites were synthesized, which exhibit high stability and excellent catalytic efficiency as Suzuki–Miyaura coupling catalysts.

Palladium stabilized on poly and mono sulfonamide ligands as novel, simple, effective, and recyclable nano catalysts for C–C cross-coupling reactions

Poly and mono sulfonamide ligands were successfully used for the stabilization of palladium nanoparticles. The prepared nano catalysts that appeared to be heterogeneous and novel were characterized with various analytical tools. To establish the catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts, they were used in the Suzuki–Miyaura and Sonogashira–Hagihara coupling reactions of aryl halides under low palladium loading conditions. The catalysts showed good stability and could be recovered and reused for seven reaction cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity.
