Humin-based iron oxide catalysts

Humins

Ball milling of FeNO3 · 9H2O or FeCl2 · 4H2O with 4 g of humins for 45 min at 350 rpm. Materials were dried at 100 °C for 12 h and finally subjected to a calcination for 4 h at 400 °C.

Polysaccharide-based niobium composites

Polysaccharide

Ball milling of ammonium niobate (V) oxalate hydrate and polysaccharide in a planetary ball for 30 min at 350 rpm; then ovendried at 100 °C for 24 h and calcination at 600 °C for 3 h.
