Background Greater use of gas would make metal production more environmentally friendly while improving the competitiveness of Norwegian metal producers. By “gas” we refer here to natural gas, biogas, hydrogen and flue-gases from the metal production industry’s own and other industries’ production processes. Gas can replace coal and coke or provide a basis for the development of new processes t...

CuCl and Cu are active phases for CH 3 Cl cracking, a side reaction of the methylchlorosilanes direct synthesis. In presence black carbon simulating coke, is reduced leading to Cu, inactive synthesis, chlorinated coke.

Cu-mordenite (Cu-MOR) catalysts with different copper loadings were prepared, characterized and examined in continuous, gas-flow synthesis of methyl acetate (MA) by dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation. Improved activity selectivity observed for Cu-MOR up to 1 wt% Cu X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) temperature-programmed reduction hydrogen (H2-TPR) us...

The effects of coke mineralogy on reactivity under conditions representative the blast furnace were studied. Coke samples reacted index (CRI) like (1100°C, 100% CO2) and at higher temperatures atmospheres designed to replicate lower in furnace.

cost reduction is one of the methods applied for improving the productivity of organizations. in productivity literature, particularly in nonparametric methods, cost reduction related methods are regarded as input oriented models. this paper presents a supply chain management (scm) model in which purchasing iron ore and coke from different resources, along with production and distribution of st...

a study was made of the coking of a commercial fresh sulfide ni-mo/al2o3 catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor. the catalyst was coked using different coke precursors in the gas oil under accelerated conditions at temperatures of 400 to 450°c to yield different deactivated catalysts containing 2-20 wt% c. two cases were studied; crushed catalyst without diffusional resistance and extruded pellets wit...
