Optical Characterization of Zinc Modified Bismuth Silicate Glasses by Rajesh Parmar, J. Hooda, R. S. Kundu, R. Punia, N. Kishore

“…The optical characterization of glass samples in the system 40SiO2 · xZnO · (60-x)Bi2O3 with x=0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 prepared by conventional melt-quench technique has been carried out in the light of Hydrogenic Excitonic Model (HEM). The absorption coefficient spectra show good agreement with theoretical HEM for the present glass system and the values of different parameters like Eg, R, Γ1, Γc, and Co have been estimated from fitting of this model. …”

Use of aldol condensation between furfural and acetone for biofuel production: A review by Tayla Luiza Pereira Borges, Rejane de Castro Santana, André Gustavo Sato, Fábio de Ávila Rodrigues

“…Extended-chain hydrocarbon fuels and intermediates, such as 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAc, C8) and 1,4-pentadiene-3-one-1,5-di-2-furanyl (F2Ac, C13), are synthesized via aldol condensation between furfural and acetone, followed by hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation processes. This study emphasizes the critical role of catalysts, particularly heterogeneous catalysts, in increasing the efficiency and selectivity of these reactions. …”
