A crackand pinhole-free composite membrane consisting of an a-alumina support and a modified y-alumina top layer which is thermally stable up to 1100°C was prepared by the sol-gel method. The supported thermally stable top layer was made by dipcoating the support with a boehmite sol doped with lanthanum nitrate. The temperature effects on the microstructure of the (supported and unsupported) La...

Abstract The vaporization of vanadium pentoxide from CaO-SiO 2 -VO x ternary slags using different gas treatment regimens and parallel vacuum extirpation to treat V-bearing at 1873 K has been developed in the present study. novelty study is monitor effect alumina dissolution on phenomenon. Vanadium high vapor pressure temperatures over 1500 K. When slags, kept dense crucibles, are injected with...

We have investigated chromium layers evaporated onto a thin alumina film at room temperature. The oxidation and reduction behavior of this model catalyst was compared to atomic layer deposition (ALD) and impregnated alumina supported catalysts using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with a detailed analysis method utilizing asymmetric peak shapes to represent both metallic and oxidic state...

The effect of vanadium oxide as support and promoter on supported rhodium catalysts on the CO hydrogenation has been investigated at 0.15 and 4.0 MPa. Rh/V,O, reduced at 723 K has a good selectivity toward oxygenated products, especially C,-oxygenates, but has a low activity added as a promoter to catalysts consisting and stability. Vanadium oxide of rhodium supported on silica and alumina show...

In previous chapters, the synthesis of a highly hydrogen selective membrane formed by the deposition of a silica layer on top of a Vycor glass substrate was discussed. In this chapter, the preparation of a composite membrane using a porous alumina support is described. This membrane showed a high hydrogen permeance of the order of 10 mol m s Pa at 873 K with selectivity of hydrogen over CH4, CO...

A "sandwich" type polyoxometalate catalyst ([MeN(n-C8H17)3]12[WZn3(ZnW9O34)2]) was very efficiently recycled by nanofiltration with almost quantitative retention, using an alpha-alumina supported mesoporous gamma-alumina membrane.
