NO-CO Reaction over Pt/.GAMMA.-Al2O3 Catalysts Prepared by Microemulsion Method.

CO + O2 and CO + NO Reactions over Pd/Al2O3 Catalysts

The kinetics of the CO + NO and CO + O2 reactions have been studied over several different Pd/Al2O3 powder catalysts covering a wide range of average Pd particle sizes. The structure-insensitive nature of the CO + O2 reaction over Pd has been exploited to determine the relative dispersions in several Pd/Al2O3 powder catalysts by measuring the rate of that reaction and normalizing against surfac...

Sintering of Al2O3–Ceo2nanopowder Prepared by Co-Precipitation Method

In the present work, Al2O3-CeO2 composite nanopowders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The sinterability of the synthesized powders was investigated. The results showed that the transformation of transition phases of alumina to α-Al2O3 takes place at 1200 °C. TEM images showed that the powders was composed of nanoparticles in the range of 30−70 nm. The densification of composites s...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

Using combined XAS/DRIFTS to study CO/NO Oxidation over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

Combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) were applied to investigate the interaction between reaction atmosphere, adsorbates and Pt oxidation state of Pt/Al2O3 model diesel oxidation catalysts under CO/NO oxidation conditions. The Pt oxidation state was correlated to the adsorbates on the catalyst’s surface. Even at lo...

Hydrazine decomposition over Irn/Al2O3 model catalysts prepared by size-selected cluster deposition.

Hydrazine decomposition chemistry was probed over a temperature range from 100 to 800 K for a series of model catalysts prepared by mass-selected Ir(n)(+) deposition on planar Al(2)O(3)/NiAl(110). Two sets of experiments are reported. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) was used to study hydrazine desorption and decomposition on Al(2)O(3)/NiAl(110) and on a model catalyst prepared by deposi...
