A range of Pt:Cu bimetallic nanoparticles were investigated for the liquid-phase selective hydrogenation furfural, an important platform biomass feedstock. Alloying two metals had a profound effect on overall catalytic activity, providing superior rates reaction and achieving needed high selectivity towards furfuryl alcohol. Furthermore, we activity Ultra Dilute Alloy (UDA) formed via galvanic ...

this study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully eulerian two-fluid model. the closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by mlh theory. resultsof one-way and...
