  • Patent number: 12102982
    Abstract: A solid-supported Pd catalyst is suitable for C—C bond formation, e.g., via Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions, with a support that is reusable, cost-efficient, regioselective, and naturally available. Such catalysts may contain Pd nanoparticles on jute plant sticks (GS), i.e., Pd@GS, and may be formed by reducing, e.g., K2PdCl4 with NaBH4 in water, and then used this as a “dip catalyst.” The dip catalyst can catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross coupling-reactions in water. The catalysts may have a homogeneous distribution of Pd nanoparticles with average dimensions, e.g., within a range of 7 to 10 nm on the solid support. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions may achieve conversions of, e.g., 97% with TOFs around 4692 h?1, Mizoroki-Heck reactions with conversions of, e.g., a 98% and TOFs of 237 h?1, while the same catalyst sample may be used for 7 consecutive cycles, i.e., without addition of any fresh catalyst.

The molten salt system comprising the following components in percentage by weight: 40% of K3AlF6 or Na3AlF6, 40% of KBe2F5, and 20% of KAlF4. By adopting the three-component molten salt system of the present invention, recovery rates of rare earth elements extracted from NdFeB waste all can reach 98% or above. By adopting the three-component molten salt system, extraction temperature is 100-400° C. lower than that of all current similar halogenation methods, and extraction time is fold shorted to 1-3 h. The reduction of the extraction temperature and the shortening of the melting time greatly reduce the energy consumption of extracting rare earth elements from NdFeB waste, and the economic benefits are remarkable.

  • Patent number: 12037241
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making ammonium dinitramide from guanylurea dinitramide in one single process step. Guanylurea dinitramide is reacted with an ammonium sulfate in a reaction solution comprising water and acetone and an ion exchange gives ammonium dinitramide. By using acetone the yield is increased compared to known processes as formed guanylurea sulfate is poorly soluable in a water-acetone solution and precipitates, while guanylurea dinitramide has higher solubility in the solution than in only water. The guanylurea sulfate precipitate formed in the reaction solution that contains acetone is less sticky than if formed in water or in a water-alcohol solution and therefore easier to filter off. The use of acetone also allows lower process temperatures to be used than in previously known methods for producing guanylurea dinitramide.
