Pt/Zr(x)-HMS/HZSM-5 catalysts with various Si/Zr ratios (as x) were used for investigation of the kinetics of n-heptane reforming process under 350 - 450 oC reaction temperature, 35 to 80 ml min-1 flowing rate of hydrogen and 2 to 5 ml h-1 flowing rate of n-heptane. In the present work, two kinetics (power law and Langmuir - Hinshelwood) models were selected and examined to describe the kinetic...

background and objectives: proteases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the degradation of proteins resulting in the pro- duction of their amino acid constituents. they are the most important group of industrial enzymes which account for about 60% of total enzymes in the market and produced mainly by microorganisms. the attempts were made to study the kinetic parameters of protease produced b...

The thermal oxidation of propane in the temperature range 350-425oC was studied in order to elucidate the role of higher aldehydes as degenerate branching intermediates in the oxidation of hydrocarbons. In the slow combustion of propane, the high yield of propylene and methanol as the primary products, the formation of hydrogen peroxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and steam a...

the influence of mo particle size on the catalytic activity and product selectivity of alkalized mos2 nanocatalysts has been investigated. nanocatalysts are prepared using a microemulsion technique with water-to-surfactant ratios of 1-12. three different techniques, including xrd, tem, and hydrogen chemisorption were used to determine the molybdenum average particle size and their activity and ...

One of the most promising ways to produce a grain-refined microstructure in some steel materials is the thermomechanical processing route of subcritical recrystallization annealing of a cold-deformed martensite structure. In the present study, the microstructural evolutions and the associated recrystallization kinetics under various subcritical annealing heat treatment conditions are explored i...
