In this work, we discuss the valorization of biomass waste-derived orange peel ash (OPA) by exploring its applicability as a heterogeneous catalyst in aqueous aldol reactions and demonstrating its versatility by promoting the methanolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste. The catalyst was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) to decode its chemical composition. The aldol reactions were carried out at ambient temperature in the presence of water as a solvent. PET depolymerization was performed in an autoclave for 1 h using only 6% w/w OPA. The catalyst was recovered and reused in both the reactions for up to four successive cycles with minimal loss in the catalytic activity. The use of OPA as a cost-free, eco-friendly and effective recyclable catalyst enables a greener route for C-C bond formation and PET waste recycling.

We report the synthesis, characterization, and supra-molecular assembly of novel diacetylene amphiphilic units bearing a chiral proline-derived head group. In water, these amphiphiles self-assemble into twisted ribbons that are photo-polymerized to afford

This article reports a three-step process: 1) the hydrogenation of phenol, 2) aldol condensation between the cyclohexanone produced in reaction 1 and an aldehyde, and 3) hydrogenation of the aldol reaction product. This is achieved using palladium contain
