Carbon-hydrogen bond activation over tungsten carbide catalysts
Tungsten carbides with surface areas ranging from 4 to 39 m2/g were prepared by the temperatureprogrammed carburization of tungsten oxide and nitride powders with pure C H 4 o r a 48.9% CH4 in H 2 mixture. Oxygen uptakes on the carbides were low most likely because of the presence of graphitic carbon at the surface. Nevertheless, the carbides were active and selective for the dehydrogenation of...
متن کاملCATALYTIC REFORMING OF n-HEPTANE ON PLATINUM-TUNGSTEN SUPPORTED ON GAMMA-ALUMINA
The mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnating with solutions containing a compound of H2PtCl6,WO3 and 1ml HCl (0.1 mol). It should be noted that the catalysts’ activity and selectivity have been determined under these conditions : 450-5000C ,and 15-25atm by H2. For converting n-heptane , the molar ratio H2/C7H16 is 5 , and LHSV is 1.5ml/h. It has been proved tha...

Introduction Although platinum-containing catalysts are available as electrode catalysts for PEFCs, they are very expensive. Alternatives to Pt catalysts are being developed through ongoing experimental and theoretical studies. In recent years, with dramatic improvements in the performance of low-cost computers, several theoretical studies of the catalytic properties of electrode catalysts for ...
متن کاملEffect of platinum on Ceria supported Cu catalysts for PrOx process in fuel processors
The CO preferential oxidation (PrOx) is one of the critical steps in hydrogen production and purification for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This reaction was investigated in the presence of excess hydrogen over Cu/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts. The ceria supports was prepared via precipitation method and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized by sequential impregnation o...
