Preparation of Solid Superacid SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 and Its Action on Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Urea and Methanol

SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 catalyst was prepared by sulfating ZnO-TiO2 powders with PEA H2SO4 solution.The catalyst was characterized by XRD, IR and Hammett indicator.The catalyst showed strong acidity(H0 ?-16.0).The optimum conditions are found that the calcination temperature is 823K and the soaked consistency of H2SO4 is 1 mol/dm3.Then SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 was ap

Biosynthesis of 2-Heptanone, a Volatile Organic Compound with a Protective Role against Honey Bee Pathogens, by Hive Associated Bacteria

Beehives are populated by bacterial species with a protective role against honey bee pathogens thanks to the production of bioactive metabolites.These compounds are largely unexploited despite their high potential interest for pest management.This study evaluated the capability of bacterial species associated with honey bees to produce 2-heptanone,
