The present work reports the effects of γ-, θ-phase alumina on hydrothermal stability and properties non- strongly-interacting Rh species Rh/Al2O3 catalysts. Comparing to γ-Al2O3, θ-Al2O3 can not only reduce amount occluded but also better stabilize during aging treatment. When time was prolonged 70 h, all non-interacting transformed into Rh. XPS results indicated that might exist in form Rh/Rh...

Catalytic hydrotreating of algae bio-crude oil from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) Nannochloropsis sp. was performed. Different Ni-based catalysts, including Ni/γ-Al2O3, Ni-Cu/γ-Al2O3, Ni-Re/γ-Al2O3, and Ni-Cu-Re/γ-Al2O3, (10%Ni, 5%Cu, 2.5%Re) were used in upgrading the oil. Most catalytic systems could effectively eliminate S decrease N O contents, enhance more than 20% improvement higher hea...

The kinetics of changes in the concentration toxic components under γ-irradiation industrial wastewater from an oil refinery presence nano-γ-Al2O3 has been studied. phenols, surfactants, COD and total content products at various adsorbed dose were monitored. UV - spectrometric studies irradiated samples range 200-400 nm shows, that increasing absorbed leads to a decrease absorption (Abs) region...

In the present study, stable homogeneous graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) nanofluids were prepared without any surfactant by high-power ultrasonic (probe) dispersion of GNPs in distilled water. The concentrations of nanofluids were maintained at 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 wt.% for three different specific surface areas of 300, 500, and 750 m2/g. Transmission electron microscopy image shows that the...

The viscosity ratio (relative viscosity) of a nanofluid to its base liquid is related the nanoparticle volume fraction by various developed theoretical and empirical equations. However, framework used up now often inadequate for modelling experimental data. Now, new parameter denoted as Dispersion Factor (DF) proposed advance accurate relative viscosities nanofluids dependent on fraction. Liter...

Nanofluids are engineered colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in water, and exhibit a very significant enhancement (up to 200%) of the boiling Critical Heat Flux (CHF) at modest nanoparticle concentrations (50.1% by volume). Since CHF is the upper limit of nucleate boiling, such enhancement offers the potential for major performance improvement in many practical applications that use nucleat...

The tribological behaviors of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) as water-based lubricant additives were evaluated by use of a reciprocating ball-on-plate tribometer for magnesium alloy-steel contacts. Three sets of test conditions were examined to investigate the effect of concentration, the capacity of carrying load and the endurance of the lubrication film, respectively. The results showed tha...
