The effect of Cu on the reduction behavior and surface properties of supported and unsupported Fe-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts was investigated using in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in combination with ex situ bulk characterization. During exposure to 0.4 mbar CO-H(2) above 180 degrees C, the reduction of CuO to C...

Several Fe-Ce catalysts for FT synthesis were prepared following two different methods: coprecipitation from Fe and Ce nitrate solutions and a physical mixture of pure Fe and Ce oxide precursors. Previously to CO hydrogenation, catalysts were activated in syngas (50 ml/min, H2/CO = 2) at 553 K for 1 h at atmospheric pressure. The iron phases developed after activation pretreatment were identifi...

in this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oc by conducting experimentations on a fe-cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial fe-cr-cu one. the collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. the coefficients o...

The catalyst activity of fluorite-type oxide, such as ceria and zirconia, for the reduction of sulfur dioxide by carbon monoxide to elemental sulfur can be significantly promoted by active transition metals, such as copper. More than 95% elemental sulfur yield, corresponding to almost complete sulfur dioxide conversion, was obtained over a Cu-Ce-O oxide catalyst with a feed gas of stoichiometri...

ABSTRACT A new asymmetric chiral PNP ligand based on the 2,6-diaminopyridine scaffold featuring a R-BINEPINE moiety was prepared. Treatment of anhydrous FeX2 (X = Cl, Br) with 1 equiv of PNP-iPr,BIN at room temperature afforded the coordinatively unsaturated paramagnetic complexes [Fe(PNP-iPr,BIN)X2]. The structure of [Fe(PNP-iPr,BIN)Cl2] is described. Both complexes react readily with the stro...

We demonstrate electric power generation via the electrooxidation of ethylene glycol (EG) on a series of Fe-group nanoalloy (NA) catalysts in alkaline media. A series of Fe-group binary NA catalysts supported on carbon (FeCo/C, FeNi/C, and CoNi/C) and monometallic analogues (Fe/C, Co/C, and Ni/C) were synthesized. Catalytic activities and product distributions on the prepared Fe-group NA cataly...

Fe–Cu–ZSM-5 and Ce–Fe–Cu–ZSM-5 solids prepared using solid-state ion exchange method (SSIE) were tested in the NH3–SCR of NO reaction characterized N2 physisorption at 77 K, MAS 27Al magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, EPR spectroscopy transmission microscopy coupled to energy-dispersive order follow effect Ce addition on textural structural properties Fe–Cu–MFI...

The catalytic reduction of SO2 to elemental sulfur by CO or CH4 over ceria-based catalysts under demanding operating conditions is reported in this paper. Cuor Ni-containing ceria catalysts have been shown before to be highly active and selective for SO2 reduction by CO in dry gas streams or in the presence of low amounts of H2O. In this work, the activity/selectivity of 10 at.%La-doped ceria, ...

Nitrogen-doped onion-like carbon-rich materials were synthesized by heat treatment of a ‘‘hybrid’’ containing hexamethylene diamine complex in the presence of Co and Fe species while preparing non-precious metal electrocatalyst for oxygen-reduction. As demonstrated by electrochemical rotating disk electrode and fuel cell tests, the binary CoFe-based catalyst containing graphitized onion-like ca...
