Carbon monoxide oxidation is one of the most studied heterogeneous reactions, being scientifically and industrially important, particularly for removal of CO from exhaust streams and preferential oxidation for hydrogen purification in fuel-cell applications. The precious metals Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, and Au are most commonly used for this reaction because of their high activity and stability. Despite ...

Co-oxidation of xenobiotics has been shown t o occur during prostaglandin synthase (PGS)-catalysed synthesis of prostaglandins (Marnett. 198 I ; EIing et al.. 1983; Marnett & Eling. 1983). PGS catalyses the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to hydroxy endoperoxides (e.g. PGH2). The most important substrate in vivo is arachidonic acid (AA) . PGS contains two activities: the fatty acid c...

In this study, Nd-doped cobalt oxide (Nd-Co3O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a combustion synthesis procedure using Co(acac)3 complex. The nanoparticles were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Then, the effect of Nd-Co3O4 ...

compounds derived from lipid oxidation endangering human health and lead to cardiovascular disease and cancer. the addition of antioxidants is effective in retarding the oxidation of lipids and lipid containing foods. due to the toxicological effects of synthetic antioxidants, decrease their use and replacing them with natural antioxidants. this study investigates antioxidant effect of pimpinel...

catalysts with the formula of laco(1+x)o(3+δ), where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, were studied for oxidation of co and c2h6 in a synthetic exhaust gas, comprising 6.0 % co and 0.2 % c2h6 in ar. ethane was selected as a model for hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. the performance of catalysts is correlated to their properties, particularly their redox in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. xrd patterns show perovsk...

In the present work, SBA-15 and SBA-16 ordered mesoporous silicas were synthesized with different morphologies such as fibers, spheres, rods irregular shapes. Copper cerium oxides active phase was introduced by two methods, incipient wetness impregnation solid-state using a ball mill. The obtained catalysts evaluated in CO preferential oxidation reaction (COPrOx). By means of SAXS, XRD, SEM TEM...
