Nano-gold catalysis has received fantastic attention since the discovery of the prominent behavior of nano-gold in CO low-temperature oxidation. However, the controllable preparation of nano-gold catalyst remains a challenge. Researchers at R&D Center for Green Chemistry and Catalysis, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academ...
Professor WANG Aiqin from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), was appointed member of the editorial board of Chemical Engineering Research and Design (ChERD, www.icheme.org/journals).
The N-alkylation of amines or ammonia with alcohols is a valuable route for the synthesis of N-alkyl amines. However, as a potentially clean and economic choice for N-alkyl amine synthesis, heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts with high activity and good generality are rarely reported.
