Calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles are known to exhibit unique property due to their high adsorption capacity and good catalytic activity. In this work the CaO nanocatalysts were prepared by hydrothermal method using anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), as a templating agent. The as-synthesized nanocatalysts were further used as substrate for the synthesis of alumina doped calcium ...

Ethylene glycol is regarded as a promising C2 platform molecule due to the fast development of its production from sustainable biomass. This study inquired structural requirements Co-based catalysts for liquid-phase ammonolysis ethylene value-added ethanolamine. We showed that rate and selectivity on γ-Al2O3-supported Co were strongly affected by metal particle size within range 2–10 nm, among ...

To understand the formation of structural isomers alumina (Al2O3) on surfaces Fe–Cr–Al alloys, cathodoluminescence (CL), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and diffraction (XRD) were used. The alloys annealed under oxygen at a low partial pressure to focus initial Al2O3. XRD revealed that corundum (α-Al2O3) was predominantly formed alloy after annealing approximately 1100°C, whereas γ-Al2O...

An increasing number of studies have investigated the effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on microbial systems; however, few existing reports have focused on the defense mechanisms of bacteria against NPs. Whether secondary metabolism biosynthesis is a response to NP stress and contributes to the adaption of bacteria to NPs is unclear. Here, a significant induction in the surfactin production and bi...

Ammonia has been suggested as a carbon-free hydrogen source, but a convenient method for producing hydrogen from ammonia with rapid initiation has not been developed. Ideally, this method would require no external energy input. We demonstrate hydrogen production by exposing ammonia and O2 at room temperature to an acidic RuO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Because adsorption of ammonia onto the catalyst is ...

The catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of cationic red GTL over the Fe2O3-CeO2-Bi2O3/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was investigated under mild operating conditions in a batch reactor. The catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation, and characterized by N2 adsorptiondesorption (BET measurement), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of the reaction conditions (catalyst...

Two preparation methods (wet saturation impregnation with vanadyl acetylacetonate and ball-milling of γ-Al2O3 with crystalline V2O5) were applied to produce two sets of VOx/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with increasing vanadium loadings. Materials from both sets were characterized by XRD, SEM, Raman, TPR and UV/Vis-DRS to elucidate the influence of the preparation method on the morphology of VOx species an...

In the present study, γ-Al2O3 was fabricated from Tan Rai alumina hydroxide by some following steps: purifying hydroxitde HCl solution 5% to remove impurities, dissolving 25% obtain AlCl3 and then react with (NH4)2CO3 get AACH, decomposition of AACH at 500oC produce γ-Al2O3. After that, Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) used modify surface increased area. The material will be removal Rhodamine B was...

in this study, magnetic nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3) were used for the degradation of 2-chlorophenol (cp) from wastewater. the size of these magnetic nanoparticles was measured using xrd and found to be about
