The process includes the steps of preparing a porous coherent structure based on refractory fibers; preparing a substrate including the porous coherent structure and nanocarbon supported by the porous coherent structure in the body thereof; and grafting to the substrate, by ? interaction, of at least one aromatic compound containing in its chemical formula, at least one aromatic ring, and at least one function chosen from acid catalytic functions, basic catalytic functions, metallic precursor functions, functions that can be converted in situ into metallic precursor functions, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for the synthesis of glycerol dithiocarbamates or bis-dithiocarbamates (GDTCs) in which a reaction medium comprising (1) a carbonate selected from diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate and ethylene or propylene carbonate associated with a glycerol type polyol in the presence of a basic catalyst or (2) a cyclic carbonate comprising five ring members, in a solvent medium, is supplemented with a primary or secondary amine in the presence of carbon disulphide, and the GDTC formed is recovered. In particular, a glycerol type polyol is brought into the presence of diethyl carbonate in the presence of a catalyst, then a primary or secondary amine is added to the reaction medium in the presence of carbon disulphide, and the GDTC formed is recovered. The invention can be used for one-step synthesis of glycerol dithiocarbamates directly from glycerol as the starting material and solvent.

Abstract: Process of depositing nanoparticles of a metal or of an alloy of said metal, said metal being chosen from the metals from columns VIIIB and IB of the Periodic Table, dispersed on a substrate by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), from one or more precursors, in which the deposition is carried out in the presence of a gas comprising more than 50 vol % of a reactive oxidizing gas. Substrate comprising at least one surface, dispersed on which are nanoparticles made of a metal or of an alloy of metals, for example made of silver or a silver alloy. Use of the substrate to catalyse a chemical reaction, for example an NOx elimination reaction.

Abstract: Preparation of a thiophene by the action of H.sub.2 S on an organic substance containing oxygen or sulphur.The substance which is used is an unsaturated carbonyl or thiocarbonyl compound, particularly an aldehyde, thioaldehyde, ketone or thioketone. The reaction preferably takes place between 250.degree. and 500.degree. C. on a catalyst of the alumina type containing an alkali or alkaline earth oxide.The process permits the unsubstituted or substituted thiophene to be obtained with high yields and high degrees of selectivity, exceeding 70%.
