Morphology of polyethylene produced by alumina-supported zirconium tetrabenzyl

Palladium Nanoparticles Supported by Alumina Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning

Cobalt-based alumina pillared zirconium phosphate catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by propane.

A series of cobalt containing alumina pillared zirconium phosphate materials have been prepared by ion exchange or by impregnation, and fully characterised. The catalytic behaviour of these materials in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by propane, in excess of oxygen, at temperatures ranging between 350 and 550 degrees C, has been also evaluated. A maximum NO conversion close to 14% is o...

Morphology investigation of alumina nano-powders prepared by a sol-gel combustion method

Highly sinterable alumina nano-powders have been synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method with glycine asfuel. The preparation involved the thermal decomposition of a chelating agent (fuel)-nitrate gel and theformation of amorphous precursors. The nanopowders calcined at 1100°C were characterized by X-ray powderdiffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was found that the ch...

Investigation of Activity and Selectivity of n-Heptane by Reforming Pt-Ta Catalyst Supported on y-Alumina

The catalyst Pt-Ta supported on 7-alumina was prepared by impregnation with solution containing compoundsof II21K1.0. and Ta205 The Pt concentration was kept constant at 0.2 vet% while the concentration of thetantalum was 0,4 wt%. The activity and selectivity of catalyst were determined under conditions at 450-500 °Cand 15-30 atm.. with molar ratio H2/C[H,e5 and WH=1.5mL/h for converted n-hepta...

Alumina-on-Polyethylene Bearing Surfaces in Total Hip Arthroplasty

The long-term durability of polyethylene lining total hip arthroplasty (THA) mainly depends on periprosthetic osteolysis due to wear particles, especially in young active patients. In hip simulator study, reports revealed significant wear reduction of the alumina ceramic-on-polyethylene articulation of THA compared with metal-on-polyethylene bearing surfaces. However, medium to long-term clinic...
