Fast catalytic pyrolysis of wild reed was carried out at 500 ̋C. Waste fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst disposed from a petroleum refinery process was activated through acetone-washing and calcination and used as catalyst for pyrolysis. In order to evaluate the catalytic activity of waste FCC catalyst, commercial HY zeolite catalyst with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 5.1 was also used. The b...

Four new chiral polymers of BINOLSalen-cobalt ACHTUNGTRENNUNG(III) salt complexes have been designed, synthesized and applied to the direct fabrication of chiral propylene carbonate from racemic propylene oxide. The (R/S)-polymer catalyst 2 and (S/R)-polymer catalyst 4 exhibit better enantioselectivity than the (R/R)-polymer catalyst 1 and the (S/S)-polymer catalyst 3 and have been recovered an...

The fundamentals of catalyst deactivation are presented in this review. The chemico-physical aspects concerning the various deactivation causes (i.e. poisoning, sintering, coking, solid-state transformation, masking, etc.) have been analyzed and discussed, along with the mathematical description of the deactivation phenomena. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

We have prepared and characterized a SnO2-decorated Pt-Sn(oxidized)/C cathode catalyst in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance of Pt/C (TEC10E50E) remained almost unchanged or even tended to reduce in repeated I-V load cycles, whereas the I-V load performance of the Pt-Sn(oxidized)/C prepared by controlled oxidation of a Pt-Sn alloy/C sample with t...

photodegradation of dicamba, an ionizable herbicide, using tio2 supported on hzsm-11 zeolite was investigated. four photocatalysts with different weight percentages (wt%) of tio2 were evaluated: 3%, 10%, 30% and 50%. the effects of the catalyst concentration, the initial ph value and the repeatability of the photocatalytic activity after multiple cycles of reuse were also evaluated. results sho...

CO oxidation over polycrystalline ruthenium dioxide was monitored in an in-situ XRD setup. The evolution of the bulk state of the catalyst was followed by in-situ XRD during reaction, while the surface morphology and chemical state before and after reaction were investigated by HRSEM and EDX. The commercial RuO2 powder was calcined prior reaction to ensure the formation of completely oxidized R...

In the present work, a microchannel reactor for autothermal reforming of methanol using a synthesized catalyst porous alumina support-CuO/ZnO mixed with ZrO₂ sol washcoat has been developed and its fine structure and inner surface characterized. Experimentally, CuO/ZnO and alumina support with ZrO₂ sol washcoat catalyst (catalyst slurries) nanoparticles is the catalytically active component of ...

In the previous studies, the several halocarbons (HC) were tested as promoters for a Ti-based Ziegler-Natta (ZN) catalyst at different polymerization conditions. The Results showed that chloro cyclohexane has the best operation in catalyst activity, polymer particle size growth, hydrogen responsibility and wax reduction too. For the first time in this study, the effect of Al/Ti ratio on the opt...

A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various ki...
