METHOD FOR REDUCING NITROGENOUS PHENOLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18616283 titled 'METHOD FOR REDUCING NITROGENOUS PHENOLS
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a thermal method for creating ferric oxide nano/microparticles with specific shapes using various solvents. These particles can be used as catalysts in the reduction of nitro compounds to amines and in the decomposition of ammonium salts.
- Ferric oxide nano/microparticles are formed using a thermal method with different solvents.
- The particles have a predominant morphology, which can be controlled during the formation process.
- These particles can act as catalysts in the reduction of nitro compounds to amines.
- They can also be used in the decomposition of ammonium salts.
- The method offers a novel approach to creating catalytic materials with specific shapes and properties.
Potential Applications:
1. Catalysis in chemical reactions. 2. Environmental remediation processes. 3. Pharmaceutical synthesis. 4. Energy storage applications.
Problems Solved:
1. Lack of control over the morphology of ferric oxide particles. 2. Inefficient catalytic materials for specific reactions. 3. Limited options for catalysts in reduction and decomposition processes.
Benefits:
