The applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as catalysts have attracted much interests in catalysis community due to their unique porous microstructure and chemical properties. One of the promising results is the use of CNTs in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethylbenzene to styrene [1,2]. However, only few works were reported on the use of CNTs or other carbonaceous materials to catalyz...

The bromination of hydrocarbons with CBr4 as a bromine source, induced by light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation, has been developed. Monobromides were synthesized with high efficiency without the need for any additives, catalysts, heating, or inert conditions. Action and absorption spectra suggest that CBr4 absorbs light to give active species for the bromination. The generation of CHBr3 was c...

The absence of light enhances epidermal carcinogenesis in Swiss albino (9) and C57 black (10) strains of mice painted with a solution of 3,4-benzpyrene. It now appears that the presence or ab sence of light affects the response of mice of the dilute brown (DBA) strain to percutaneous ad ministration of either 3,4-benzpyrene or 20-methylcholanthrene by altering the incidence of not only skin car...

Though building an AMESim physical model of vehicle three-way catalytic converter (TWC), this article aims to study the light-off characteristics of TWC. By solving the energy and mass conservation equations of gas-solid two phase of the model, this article obtains the emissions conversion rate, such as CO, unburned hydrocarbons (CaHb) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) under different parameters. The r...

During cruise SO 58 of the FRG research vessel Sonne in 1988, surface sediments were collected from the deep waters of the Sulu Trench (Philippines) for organic geochemical investigations. The purpose of geochemical analyses of surface sediments is to obtain information on the nature and origin of gaseous hydrocarbons detected in these sediments and from this information to estimate the hydroca...

The Syngas Chemical Looping (SCL) process converts gaseous fuels such as syngas and hydrocarbons into hydrogen and electricity while capturing 100% of the CO2 generated 1, . The SCL process simplifies the overall fuel conversion scheme while reducing pollutants in an indirect but highly effective manner. This is achieved via a specially tailored Fe2O3 based composite particle. As a result, hydr...

As the rcsults of pul~lishcd investigations on concurrent application of carcinogenic agents and irradiation with ultraviolet, visible and infrared light (2, 6-8, 10-19) differ considerably, wc have found it of in?.crcst to investigate the activity of different carcinogenic hydrocarbons after ultraviolet irradiation. Cook and Martin (~), Dufraisse and Gerard (9) and Vel|uz (20) have shown that ...

Introduction SAPO-34 is a silicoaluminophosphate zeolite with 8-membered ring windows (~0.38nm) displaying chabazite structure. SAPO-34 is an efficient catalyst showing improved catalytic performance in reactions such as methanol conversion to olefins [1], oxidative dehydrogenation of propane [2], conversion of light alkenes [3]. Its catalytic properties are mainly attributed to its mild acidit...
