A Study on the Adsorption and Catalytic Oxidation of Asphaltene onto Nanoparticles

The use of nanoparticles, including metal oxide surfaces, as asphaltene adsorbents is a potential method of removing and/or upgrading asphaltenes. The adsorption of two asphaltene types, extracted from two types of Iranian crude oil, onto nanoparticles (TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3) are assessed and the thermal behavior of the adsorbed asphaltenes is examined under an oxidizing atmosphere through ther...

A catalytic cycle for oxidation of tert-butyl methyl ether by a double C-H activation-group transfer process.

Formaldehyde degradation by catalytic oxidation.

Formaldehyde used for the disinfection of a laminar-flow biological safety cabinet was oxidatively degraded by using a catalyst. This technique reduced the formaldehyde concentration in the cabinet from about 5,000 to about 45 mg/m3 in 8 h. This technique should prove useful in other applications.
