The aluminum oxide materials are widely used in ceramics, refractories and abrasives due to their hardness, chemical inertness, high melting point, non-volatility and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The paper describes work done on synthesis of α-alumina by using the simple, non-expensive solution combustion method using glycine as fuel.Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles were synthesiz...

The aim of the present study is to synthesize the oxovanadium complex of the V3+ ion with isatin sciff bases. Spectroscopic methods have been used to confirm these models of complexation and to understand the structures of the species formed in methanolic solution. We also have isolated a complex of Vanadium (III) with isatin schiff bases in the solid phase.

Ways to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions One of MTU ś aims for its engines is to reduce the emission of soot particles and nitrogen oxides in order to achieve compliance with increasingly strict emissions regulations around the world. The main approach pursued by MTU is low-emission combustion, in other words an internal engine solution. However, this means taking into account a basic principle ...

Ni-based catalysts with different amounts of Na as promoter from 2 to 6 wt % were prepared by solution combustion method. The catalytic activity was investigated in syngas methanation reaction. Carbon oxides conversion and methane selectivity are greatly influenced by sodium loading. Adding 2 wt% Na remarkably improves catalytic activity and long-term stability, attributed to its smaller mean N...

In this paper we investigate the properties and linear stability of travelling premixed combustion waves and the formation of pulsating combustion waves in a model with two-step chain-branching reaction mechanism. These calculations are undertaken in the adiabatic limit, in one spatial dimension and for the case of arbitrary Lewis numbers for fuel and radicals. It is shown that the Lewis number...

In this article, the in situ adaptive tabulation (ISAT) procedure, originally developed [Pope, S. (1997). Computationally efficient implementation of combustion chemistry using in situ adaptive tabulation. Combustion Theory and Modeling, 1, 41–63] for the efficient computation of homogeneous reactions in chemically reacting flows, is adapted for the efficient computation of heterogeneous surfac...

-The role which low-temperature catalytic combustion should play in the future hydrogen energy system is discussed in comparison with those of conventional flame-type combustion and fuel cells. A hybrid of catalytic and flame combustion is also referred to in the comparison. Screening of catalyst materials proved that several inexpensive oxides of the 3d transition metals were active at interme...
