Title A name given to the resource Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles immobilized on microporous molecular sieves as efficient porous catalyst for photodegradation, transesterification and esterification reactions Subject The topic of the resource Esterification; Iron oxide nanoparticles; Magnetic microporous catalyst; Molecular sieves; Photodegradation Description An account of the resource Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were immobilized on microporous molecular sieves (13X) via a plant extract mediated green synthesis method. The prepared material was then characterized using XRD, FTIR, TGA, FESEM, and TEM techniques. The synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles-molecular sieves (Fe2O3/MS) composite showed excellent photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) at 99% efficiency. Enhanced photocatalytic properties were observed in comparison with the pure iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles synthesized. Catalytic conversion of triglycerides to fatty-acid ethyl esters (FAEE) was carried out using sunflower oil, and the reaction showed very good catalytic activity in the transesterification of sunflower oil, converting 84% of the sunflower oil to FAEE. The catalyst was also used in the esterification reaction and found to have excellent applicability. The catalyst showed excellent reusability, and easy separation from the reaction mixture using an external magnet. This enables the synthesized material to act as a promising photocatalyst in degradation and organic synthesis. Very few reports are available on the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide coated on molecular sieves and used for photodegradation, transesterification, and esterification catalysis. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
