nitration reaction

Nitration of Aromatic Compounds

The nitration reaction is a chemical process in which one or more nitro (NO2) groups are introduced into an aromatic nucleus by replacing a hydrogen atom. It is an electrophilic substitution reaction commonly used to modify aromatic compounds by attaching nitro groups, which can significantly alter their properties and reactivity.

Friedel – Crafts acylation

Acylation of Aromatic Compounds

The Friedel-Crafts acylation involves the production of an aromatic ketone by the reaction between an aromatic compound and an acylating agent, which could be an acyl halide, an acid anhydride, an acid, or an ester. This reaction takes place in the presence of an acidic catalyst.

Friedel – Crafts alkylation of aromatic

Alkylation of Aromatic Compounds

The Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds involves an acid-catalyzed electrophilic substitution, wherein an alkyl group replaces an aromatic hydrogen. A diverse range of alkylating agents, such as olefins, alkyl halides, and alcohols, is commonly employed for this purpose.

Industrial Applications of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Solid Catalysts

Industrial Applications of Heterogeneous Catalysis

They are employed in the production of synthesis gas and hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, in the transformation of hydrocarbons (epoxidation of ethylene and propene, ammoxidation of hydrocarbons, and hydroprocessing reactions), as environmental catalysts for catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides from stationary sources, and in automotive exhaust catalysis.

Green Ammonia Production Process

Green Ammonia Production Process

Green ammonia is described as ammonia synthesized with essentially zero carbon ootprint. Green ammonia can be produced using conventional technology for the ammonia synthesis loop in combination with electrolysis-based hydrogen or using nonconventional technologies for ammonia synthesis.
