Abstract The paper describes a novel high-performance catalyst that was developed for partial oxidation of methane (POM) and dry reforming (DRM) into synthesis gas. is based on samarium cobaltite dispersed in oxide matrix. Unlike its known counterparts cobaltate, the resistant to carbonization contains active sites exhibit higher syngas productivity.

Abstract Purpose The soaring demand for cobalt lithium-ion batteries has increased interest in the utilization of non-conventional sources. Such raw materials include complex ores containing minerals such as cobaltite and skutterudite, which, while rare, occur around world, including Finland, Canada, USA. goal this study was to evaluate cradle-to-gate impacts sulfate recovery from unutilized co...

Theoretical analysis and Computer simulations have proven to be cost-effective and powerful tools in scientific studies of materials, particularly at nano-scale where synthesis of nano-structures, interpretation of their observed character and exploration of new structures are not always straight forward. We present here fundamental principles of techniques used today for computational simulati...

Two Cu-Co and Co3O4 oxides were synthesized by the conventional sol-gel auto-combustion and their physical-chemical properties were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TPR and XPS. The XRD results indicated that copper-cobalt oxide appeared in a mixture form of Cu0.15Co2.85O4 spinel and CuO phases, whereas the cobalt oxide exhibited in the pure form of Co3O4 spinel. The FTIR approved the formation...

Spinel magnesium Cobaltite (MgCo2O4) nanoparticles with a crystalline size in the range of ∼16 nm were prepared by a simple co-precipitation technique with NaOH as a precipitant. The formation of spinel MgCo2O4 phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that aggregated nanoplates. The elect...

We present X-ray photoelectron, Co $${{L}_{{2,3}}}$$ and O K absorption, as well $$K{{\beta }_{{1,3}}}$$ emission spectroscopy results of studies the spin states trivalent cobalt ions in single-crystal cobaltite LaCoO 3 . show that at room temperature, bulk a single crystal, 3+ are low-spin state, while high-spin 2+ , probably also intermediate-spin located on surface.
