Alcohol deoxygenation in the presence of SiO2@FeSO4 nanocomposite

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: SiO 2 @FeSO 4 nanocomposite was studied as a nanocatalyst for deoxygenation of alcohols. Alcohols were converted to alkanes by removing oxygen in the presence of SiO 2 @FeSO 4 nanocatalyst. Of course, in this study, deoxygenation was performed by two methods: 1) in the presence of sodium borohydride and 2) under microwave radiation. The results showed that method of sodium borohydride/SiO 2 @FeSO 4 nano catalyst system is an efficient and selective procedure which allows selective deoxygenation of alcohols to alkanes. Analytical methods to identify the chemical structure of compounds are FTIR, 1 HNMR, and SEM spectroscopy.
