  • An Efficient, Heterogeneous and Green Catalyst for Organic Synthesis
    Available online www.jocpr.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, 2012, 4(2):991-1015 ISSN : 0975-7384 Review Article CODEN(USA) : JCPRC5 Montmorillonite: An efficient, heterogeneous and green catalyst for organic synthesis Navjeet Kaur and Dharma Kishore Department of Chemistry, Banasthali University, Banasthali (Rajasthan), India ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Reactions of organic molecules on Montmorillonite clay mineral have been investigated from various aspects. These include catalytic reactions for organic synthesis, chemical evolution, the mechanism of humus-formation, and environmental problems. Catalysis by clay minerals has attracted much interest recently, and many reports including the catalysis by synthetic or modified clays have been published. In this review, we will limit the review to organic reactions using Montmorillonite clay as catalyst. Keywords: Montmorillonite, catalysis, clay, organic synthesis, green chemistry. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION One of the major current challenges before chemists is to develop synthetic methods that are less polluting, i.e., to design clean or 'green' chemical transformations. The chemical manufacturing processes should be such that they do not cause permanent damage to the environment or disturb the ecological balance. Ways to minimize the consumption of energy and raw materials used in synthesis must be devised so that optimal value of resources could be realized. Thereby environmentally benign products are obtained at affordable costs. Such a concept, though not new, has received enormous attention in recent times. The desire to make chemical manufacturing environmental friendly is not a new one. Such awareness was there even among the nineteenth century chemists, industrialists and lawmakers. The problem has become more acute in recent times and has received wider attention because of our better understanding of the causes of environmental degradation.

You can search by the name of the medium or the chemical formula. The autocomplete functionality helps you if you don’t know the exact spelling of the name of your medium. Scan the QR-Code Available on the App Store 3 Introduction to the manual of dielectric values The relative dielectric constant (the DC-value) of liquids and bulk solids can – next to other influencing factors – be decisive when selecting the suitable technology for level measurement: This is where competent advice is required. But what distinguishes a competent partner? It is competence in product development, experience in the application, correct consultation and reliable service which distinguishes a reliable partner for process control technology. The dielectric constant values are listed with a separate measurement frequency of 100kHz. Please understand the values in this book as standard values for individual measuring processes, as these are not absolute values. Should you find the measured value for your product at another frequency then this frequency can be considered the standard value. The next pages list the following measuring principles: “capacitance level measurement” and “Time-of-Flight principles”. The dielectric constant is important for the correct functioning with these measuring principles. Disclaimer: The DC values have been researched most diligently, however, Endress+Hauser does not assume any liability for the correctness of these values. 4 DC compendium Dielectric Level measurement characteristics with capacitance probes The dielectric constant ε The capacitance measuring principle The dielectric constant of an insulating works on the basis of a capacitor.
