The present disclosure relates to an ionic liquid composition and a process for its preparation. The process of the present disclosure is simple, single pot and efficient process for preparing the ionic liquid composition which is effective in a Friedel Craft reaction like, alkylation reaction, trans-alkylation, and acylation.

The present disclosure envisages an ionic liquid composition comprising at least one metal hydroxide; at least one metal halide; and at least one solvent. Also envisaged is a process for preparing an ionic liquid composition. The process comprises mixing in a reaction vessel, at least one metal hydroxide and at least one metal halide in the presence of at least one solvent under a nitrogen atmosphere and continuous stirring followed by cooling under continuous stirring to obtain the ionic liquid composition.

Disclosed is a method for producing a photocatalyst for air cleaning. The present production method comprises the steps of: preparing titanium dioxide (TiO.sub.2); attaching platinum to a surface of the titanium dioxide; and attaching fluoro to the platinum-attached surface of the titanium dioxide to obtain surface-modified titanium dioxide.

The present disclosure relates to a reforming catalyst composition comprising a spherical gamma AI.sub.2O.sub.3 support; at least one Group VB metal oxide sheet coated on to the AI.sub.2O.sub.3 support; and at least one active metal and at least one promoter metal impregnated on the AI.sub.2O.sub.3 coated support. The reforming catalyst composition of the present disclosure has improved activity, better selectivity for total aromatics during naphtha reforming and results in less coke formation. The reforming catalyst composition has improved catalyst performance with simultaneous modification of acidic sites as well as metallic sites through metal support interaction. The acid site cracking activity of the catalyst is inhibited because of the use of chloride free alumina support modified with solid acid such as Group VB metal oxide and impregnated with active metals. The present disclosure provides a process for naphtha reforming in the presence of the reforming catalyst composition of the present disclosure to obtain reformates of naphtha.

The present invention relates to the process for the scalable production of Fe.sub.3O.sub.4/Fe, Sn & Zn doped graphene nanosheets from a naturally abundant seaweed resources such as Sargassum tenerrimum, Sargassum wighti, Ulva faciata, Ulva lactuca and Kappaphycus alvarezii. The granules remained after the recovery of liquid juice from the fresh seaweeds were utilized as a raw material and a deep eutectic solvents (DESs) generated by the complexation of choline chloride and FeCl.sub.3, ZnCl.sub.2 and SnCl.sub.2 were employed as template as well as catalyst for the production graphene nanosheets functionalized with metals. Pyrolysis of the mixture of seaweed granules and DES at 700-900 C. under 95% N.sub.2 and 5% H.sub.2 atmosphere resulted formation of metal doped graphene sheets with high surface area (120-225 m.sup.2.Math.g.sup.1) and high electrical conductivity 2384 mS.Math.m.sup.1 to 2400 mS.Math.m.sup.1. The nanosheets thus obtained could remove substantial amount of fluoride from fluoride contaminated drinking water (95-98%).

A method for isomerizing a hydrohalofluoroolefin isomer to produce a corresponding hydrohalofluoroolefin isomer includes a step contacting a composition that contains at least a hydrohalofluoroolefin isomer and that has been adjusted to 100 ppm or lower in moisture concentration, with a catalyst in a gas phase, thereby obtaining a product. This method makes it possible to suppress the catalyst performance lowering.
