Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalytic process for preparation of isolongifolene using nanocrystalline solid super acid. This process is an eco-friendly, single step, solvent free catalytic process for the preparation of a tricyclic sesqui-terpene hydrocarbon, isolongifolene. More particularly, the present invention provides a process for the catalytic isomerisation of longifolene to iso-longifolene using nano-crystalline sulfated zirconia as a solid super acid catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention provides a provides a process for the recovery of precious metals from spent catalysts or adsorbent or inorganic waste, more specifically the process relates to recovery of Pd from silica, which is used as an adsorbent in column chromatography or as a catalyst support in many catalysts.

Abstract: An ecofriendly process for acylation of an alkylated benzene derivative has increased selectively towards para position and comprises a step of reacting the alkylated benzene derivative with an acylating agent in the presence of nitrobenzene, dichlorobenze, dimethylsulfolane, and/or benzotrile, and a crystalline alumino silicate catalyst having general formula M2/nO.Al2O3.xSiO2.wH2O, wherein M is an alkali cation, a rare earth cation, and/or a proton, wherein the Si/Al ratio is in the range of 5.5 to 20, wherein the step of reacting is performed at temperature between 80° to 140° C. for 5 to 25 hours. In a further step, the solid catalyst is separated from the reaction mixture of step, and in yet another step, the acylated alkyl benzene derivative is separated from the mixture.

Abstract: A new process is described for the preparation of free flowing hydrated amorphous silica from kimberlite tailing—a waste in diamond mining. The process comprises treating of kimberlite with acid, further reacting it with alkali solution to obtain soluble metal silicate solution, which is subsequently neutralized with mineral acid to polymerize silica as insoluble precipitates. The products is useful in rubber, paints as abrasive etc.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of pore mouth control of zeolite NaA for developing a novel molecular sieve adsorbents and their potential in the separation and purification of gaseous mixtures by the size/shape selective adsorption. More specifically,the invention relates to the manufacture and use of a molecular sieve adsorbent, which is selective towards oxygen from its gaseous mixture with nitrogen and argon by pore mouth control of zeolite NaA with liquid phase alkoxide deposition on the external surface at ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. Thus prepared adsorbent is useful for the separation and purification of nitrogen and argon from its mixture with oxygen.
