Abstract

The effect of using carbon black as a support for gold nanoparticles has been studied for the epoxidation of cyclooctene reaction. The carbon black supports were synthesized through the carbonization of solid olive waste at 300, 400, 500 and 600 °C. The sol-immobilization method was used to deposit gold nanoparticles onto carbon black supports. The catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles supported on the synthesized carbon was found to be dependent on the carbonization temperature of the supports. The gold nanoparticles deposited on carbon black synthesized at 600 °C was found to produce the best catalytic performance towards cyclooctene epoxidation. The high catalyst performance can be attributed to the gold nanoparticles and its dispersion on the support, which synthesized at 600 °C, compared to the other supports. Some characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM and XRD were employed to investigate the synthesized carbon supports and their correspondent gold nanoparticles catalysts.
