A Green Method for Synthesizing Nickel Nanoparticles Supported by Magnetized Pectin: Applied as a Catalyst for Aldehyde Synthesis as a Precursor in Xanthan Synthesis

In this paper, the properties of a catalyst that composed of magnetic nanoparticles and Pectin biopolymer that is widely found in nature (Fe 3 O 4 @Pectin) to support nickel (II) acetate are discussed, and this catalyst was then used in response to the synthesis of the precursor required for xanthene synthesis. The heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by techniques such as FT‐IR spectroscopy, FE‐SEM, TEM, XRD spectroscopy, EDX spectroscopy,...
