Abstract

The goal of this research was to test barium chloride (BaCl2) impregnated calcined razor clam shell as a solid catalyst for transesterification of rubber seed oil (RSO) in a packed bed reactor (PBR). The waste razor clam shells were crushed, ground, and calcined at 900 °C in a furnace for 2 h to derive calcium oxide (CaO) particles. Subsequently, the calcined shells were impregnated with BaCl2 by wet impregnation method and recalcined at 300 °C for 2 h. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS),  Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, and basic strength measurements. The effects of various parameters such as residence time, reaction temperature, methanol/oil molar ratio, and catalyst bed length on the yield of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) were determined. The BaCl2/CaO catalyst exhibited much higher catalytic activity and stability than CaO catalyst influenced by the basicity of the doped catalyst. The maximum fatty acid methyl ester yield was 98.7 % under optimum conditions (residence time 2.0 h, reaction temperature 60 °C, methanol/oil molar ratio 12:1, and catalyst bed length 200 mm). After 6 consecutive reactions without any treatment, fatty acid methyl ester yield reduced to 83.1 %. The option of using waste razor clam shell for the production of transesterification catalysts could have economic benefits to the aquaculture and food industries.

Abstract

The use of high throughout and combinatorial experimentation is becoming commonplace in catalytic research. The benefits of parallel experiments are not only limited to reducing the time-to-market, but also give an opportunity to study processes in more depth, by generating more data. To investigate the complete parameter space, multiple experiments must be performed and the variability between these experiments must be quantifiable. In this project, the reproducibility and variance in high throughput catalyst preparation and parallel testing were determined. High-performance equipment was used in a catalyst development program for fuel processing, the production of fuel cell-grade hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels. Four studies, involving water-gas shift conversion and high-temperature steam methane reforming, were performed to determine the reproducibility of the workflow from automated catalyst preparation to parallel activity testing. Statistical analyses showed the standard deviation in catalytic activities as determined by conversion, to be less than 6% of the average value.

Abstract

Supported bimetallic ruthenium-tin (denoted as Ru-Sn(x); x = molar ratio of Ru/Sn) catalysts were examined for room temperature (RT) hydrogenation of biogenic platform chemicals of levulinic acid (LA) to g-valerolactone (GVL). Six types of metal oxide support c.a. Nb2O5, TiO2, ZnO, ZrO2, g-Al2O3, active charcoal (AC), were employed as the support for Ru-Sn(x). Ru-Sn(3.0)/Nb2O5 (Ru/Sn = 3.0) that reduced at 500 oC demonstrated the highest yield of GVL (98%) at 30 oC, 30 bar H2 for 3 h. The increase in Sn loading amount (Ru/Sn = 1.5) resulted in decreasing of LA conversion (83%) under the same reaction conditions. Among the studied supported Ru-Sn catalysts, Nb2O5 and ZnO supports exhibited better catalytic performances than that other for RT hydrogenation of LA and various biogenic platform chemicals. The Ru-Sn(3.0)/Nb2O5 catalyst was characterized by means of various adsorption and spectroscopic techniques. The Ru-Sn(3.0)/Nb2O5 catalyst was found to be reusable without any significant loss of its activity. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The uses of copper and zinc aluminates to capture and convert the CO2 to syn-gas were studied at higher temperatures. The samples of copper and zinc aluminates were prepared by solid-solid fusion method by calcining in air at 900 oC for 3 h. Those samples were characterized by acidity/alkalinity, surface area, XRD pattern, IR, SEM images and screening to capture CO2 at the different temperatures. The phases Cu2O, CuO, ZnO, CuAl2O4 and ZnAl2O4 were found to be in the samples of zinc and copper aluminates. Acidity and surface area of the samples of copper and zinc aluminates were found to be in the ranges from 0.063 to 9.37 mmol g-1 and 3.04 to 11.8 m2 g-1, respectively. The captured CO2 by the samples of copper and zinc aluminates was found to be 19.92 to 31.52 wt% for the temperature range 40 to 850 oC. The captured CO2 at 550 oC by variable Zn/Al and Cu/Al mol ratio from 0.5 to 6 of the samples of copper and zinc aluminates was found to be 12.81 to 18.04 wt%. The reduction of carbon dioxide by zinc and copper aluminates was observed. The conversion of CO2 by methane over variable mol ratio of Cu/Al and Zn/Al in copper and zinc aluminates, respectively, at 500 oC showed the production of syn-gas by using the gas hourly space velocities (GHSV) 12000, 12000 and 6000 ml. h-1. g-1 of helium, CO2 and methane. The conversions of CO2 by methane over the samples of zinc and copper aluminates were studied at different mol ratios of CO2 to methane. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The biodiesel synthesis of waste cooking oil (WCO) over a impregnated biochar catalyst was systematically studied. This research aimed to prepare Biochar-based material that comes from coconut coir, activate it, and apply it as a catalyst to the esterification reaction of high-FFA waste cooking oil. Activation of the catalyst was done by impregnation H2SO4 solution in Biochar. The obtained catalyst was characterized by FTIR, XRF, XRD, surface area analyzer, and SEM-EDS. The esterification process was conducted by varying the catalyst weight (5, 7, and 10 wt%) and the reaction temperature (55 and 60 °C). The obtained liquid yields were characterized by GC-MS. The study found that the esterification process worked best with 10 wt% catalysts, a 1:76 mole ratio of oil to alcohol, and a reaction temperature of 60 °C. The waste cooking oil was successfully converted into biodiesel, reaching 84.50% of yield and 77.30% of purity (methyl ester content). Meanwhile, testing using national biodiesel standards with parameter limits of density, viscosity, iodine number, and acid number shows results that meet the requirements.

Abstract

An electrocatalyst is a material that exhibits catalytic activity for electrochemical reactions. The electrocatalytic properties within electrochemical cells can be enhanced by modifying the electrode through an electrodeposition process. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize NiO/Ni electrocatalyst using the electrodeposition method at pH values of 8, 10, and 12. The NiO/Ni generated was applied in the electrochemical degradation of textile waste under specific operating conditions, including pH 4, NaCl concentration of 0.05 M, DC voltage of 9 volts, and varying degradation times of 60, 120, 180, and 240 min. Based on the results, the XRD diffractograms revealed the presence of NiO peaks at 2θ = 43.5°, 63.1°, and 75.4°, and Ni peaks at 2θ = 51.9°. SEM-EDX analysis showed that NiO/Ni was deposited on the graphite surface in the form of spheres and granules. FTIR indicated the presence of Ni−O bonds at 501 cm−1, and GSA demonstrated that NiO/Ni exhibited mesoporous properties. The NiO/Ni at pH 10 had the highest surface area, pore volume, and current response compared to graphite, as well as the electrocatalyst produced at pH 8 and 12. Additionally, the electrochemical degradation of textile waste using NiO/Ni at pH 10 led to the highest reduction in absorbance efficiency, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and ammonia, with respective values of 96.80, 96.15, and 87.34%.

Abstract

Metal-organic complex hybrid materials constructed from carboxylate ligands and hydrazone ligands have exhibited potential application in many fields. In order to enrich the applications of the metai-organic complex materials, a new hydrazone ligand contains carboxylate group, 2-carboxybenzaldehyde-p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazone (L1), and its Cu(II) complex (C2), have been prepared. The structure of L1 was determined by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction, and the composition of Cu(II) complex (C2) has also been determined by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectra. The catalytic activity for A3 coupling reaction of benzaldehyde, piperidine, and phenylacetylene has been investigated. The results show that Cu(II) complex displays a 100 % selectivity to the product of propargylamine during A3 coupling reaction and benzaldehyde conversions were 95.3, 94.2, and 93.4 % at 120 °C for 12 h in the first, second, and third reaction cycles, respectively.
