Abstract

The purpose of this research are to study the temperature influence in hydrocracking process of the nyamplung oil (Calophyllum inophyllum) using a non-sulfided CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst and to develop a simple kinetic model in interpreting the data of hydrocracking products. The experiment was carried out in a pressurized batch reactor operated pressure up 30 bar. The CoMo catalyst supported with γ-Al2O3 was prepared through impregnation method without sulfidation process. The operating temperature varied from 200 to 350 oC. The results show that the non-sulfided CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts, nyamplung oil triglycerides can converted into gasoil and gasoline-like hydrocarbons. The triglyceride hydrocracking reaction of nyamplung oil followed a several stages, i.e., hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and cracking. Based on the compounds contained in liquid product, hydrocracking reaction was dominated by decarboxylation. The products obtained in hydrocracking process of nyamplung oil are classified to gasoil (C11-C18) and gasoline (C5-C10).  The triglycerides hydrocracking reaction of nyamplung oil was assumed by following a series reaction mechanism and a simple kinetic model used for determined the kinetics constants. The highest reaction conversion is 99.10% obtained at temperature of 350 °C for 160 minutes reaction time.

Abstract

The paper reports the development of ZnO-MgAl layered double hydroxides as an adsorbent-photo catalyst to remove the dye pollutants from aqueous solution and the experiments of a photocatalytic study were designed and modeled by response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN). The co-precipitation and urea methods were used to synthesize the ZnO-MgAl layered double hydroxides and FT-IR, XRD and SEM analysis were done for characterization of the catalyst.The performance of the ANN model was determined and showed the efficiency of the model in comparison to the RSM method to predict the percentage of dye removal accurately with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.968. The optimized conditions were obtained as follows: 600 oC, 120 min, 0.05 g and 20 ppm for the calcination temperature, irradiation time, catalyst amount and dye pollutant concentration, respectively.

Abstract

The oxidation of cyclohexanone and/or cyclohexanol to adipic acid (AA) was performed at 90 °C with a reaction time of 20 h, in the presence of H2O2 as oxidant and transition metal substituted ammonia polyoxometalates of formula, (NH4)xHyMzPMo12O40 (M: Fe, Co, or Ni,  and x = 2.5 or 2.28) as catalysts.  The catalytic results showed that the AA yield is sensitive to the transition metal nature and to the reaction conditions (sample weight and substrate amount). The (NH4)2.29H0.39Co0.16PMo12O40 was found to be the better catalytic system toward AA synthesis from cyclohexanone oxidation, with 40% of AA yield

Abstract

The kinetic behavior of esterification of lactic acid with isopropanol over an acidic cation exchange resin, Amberlyst 15, was studied under isothermal condition. Isopropyl lactate synthesized in this reaction is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. The experiments were carried out in a stirred batch reactor in the temperature range of 323.15 to 353.15 K. The effect of various parameters such as temperature, molar ratio and catalyst loading was studied. Variation in parameters on rate of reaction demonstrated that the reaction was intrinsically controlled. Kinetic modeling was performed using Eley-Rideal model which acceptably fits the experimental data. The activation energy was found to be 22.007 kJ/mol and frequency factor was 0.036809 l2 g-1 mol-1 min-1 for forward reaction. The value of entropy for the forward reaction was found to be 182.317 J K-1 mol-1. © 2011 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Natural Kaolin Clay was calcined and treated by sulfuric acid. The resulting solid acid catalyst was characterized by FTIR, TGA, and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and tested for isobutene oligomerization in a gas phase. The characterization results showed that the acid treated clay underwent chemical and structural transformations. After acid treatment, the Si/Al ratio was increased, and the crystalline raw clay became amorphous. The effects of various parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time and contact time on isobutene oligomerization were investigated. Catalytic tests showed that isobutene oligomerization led to dimers and trimers as major products. Tetramers were obtained as by- products. At relatively high reaction temperatures and long contact times, the conversion was enhanced while the selectivity of dimers was decreased in favor of higher oligomers.

Abstract

The properties and activity of TiO2-based nanorods as an antifouling agent and a photocatalyst for the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) have been investigated. A modification of TiO2 with SiO2 was first carried out to enlarge the surface area. In order to enhance the TiO­2 photo response to the visible light region, a further modification of TiO2-SiO2 (TS) composites with polyaniline (PANI) was also conducted. The nanorod TiO2 exhibited an anatase structure based on the diffraction patterns. The TEM images showed that some TiO2 molecules were attached around SiO2 with a random orientation. The TiO2-SiO2-PANI (TS-PANI) exhibited the largest specific surface area (SBET) of about 256.85 m2/g. The profile on the AFM images of the composites showed that the nano-roughness of the coatings was confirmed. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated through the decomposition of MB both on the powder and the coated composites. The photocatalytic activity on the coatings was verified due to further application as anti-fouling coatings involving photocatalytic mechanism. The decomposition of MB using TS-PANI powder and TS-PANI coating composites was 89.5% and 90.2 %, respectively, with the irradiation time on the coatings was 20 min longer. The anti-fouling activity through the photocatalytic mechanism and nano-roughness surface was confirmed by the inhibition of barnacle growth on the teakwood surface immersed for two months in the sea.

Abstract

This research study the mixed semiconductor of SiO2-TiO2 which was immobilized on graphite substrate and also studies the effect of surface modification on its mixed semiconductor. The surface modification was carried out by electrode position of Ag from 0.4 M of AgNO3 solution at various applied current. The electrode position was conducted for 30 minutes at 0.004; 0.008; 0.010; 0.012 and 0.014 A. In the electrode position cell, SiO2-TiO2/Graphite was used as cathode and a graphite rod was used as anode. The weight of deposited Ag was analyzed gravimetrically. The current efficiency of electrode position was calculated by comparing its experimental weight to its theoretical weight founded from calculation using Faraday’s equation for electrolytic cell. Meanwhile, the photo electrochemical testing was carried out to investigate the efficiency of induced photon to current conversion; it was measured as %IPCE (% Induced Photon to Current Efficiency). The crystallinity and crystal structure of the prepared materials were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and their surface morphology was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). This research found that silver was deposited as silver metal, Ag and as silver oxide, AgO. The electrode position efficiency at applied current of 0.014 A is 92.30 % with diameter of cluster is 7 - 11.9 mm. It is founded that Ag and AgO deposition enhanced the efficiency of photon conversion into current up to 89.92 %. The optimum %IPCE value is at 28.6 % of Ag content. Ag-SiO2-TiO2/G has higher photo conversion than Ag-TiO2/G, shown by the %IPCE value at 300 nm is 83.25 % higher than Ag-TiO2/G. It indicates the significant role of silica network in photo excitation mechanisms in the composite material. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Even though platinum is known as an active electro-catalyst for ethanol oxidation at low temperatures (< 100 oC), choosing the electrode material for ethanol electro-oxidation is a crucial issue. It is due to its property which easily poisoned by a strong adsorbed species such as CO. PtSn-based electro-catalysts have been identified as better catalysts for ethanol electro-oxidation. The third material is supposed to improved binary catalysts performance. This work presents a study of the ethanol electro-oxidation on carbon supported Pt-Sn and Pt-Sn-Ni catalysts. These catalysts were prepared by alcohol reduction. Nano-particles with diameters between 2.5-5.0 nm were obtained. The peak of (220) crystalline face centred cubic (fcc) Pt phase for PtSn and PtSnNi alloys was repositioned due to the presence of Sn and/or Ni in the alloy. Furthermore, the modification of Pt with Sn and SnNi improved ethanol and CO electro-oxidation.

Abstract

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) is a material that serves as a photocatalyst for decomposing methylene blue pollutant. MOF can be constructed using several kinds of synthetic methods. This study aims to determine the alternative efficient and eco-friendly synthesis method of isonicotinic acid-modulated chromium perylene 3,4,9,10-tetracharboxylate MOF (Cr-PTC-HIna) using solvothermal, hydrothermal, sonochemical, and mechanochemical methods. FTIR analysis revealed that Cr-PTC-HIna was successfully fabricated only by solvothermal, hydrothermal, and sonochemical methods, yielding 40.68%, 44.27%, and 46.50%. Cr-PTC-HIna-ST, Cr-PTC-HIna-HT, and Cr-PTC-HIna-SC have band gap energies of 2.02, 2.02, and 1.98 eV, respectively. Cr-PTC-HIna-HT and Cr-PTC-HIna-SC with irregular shapes form agglomerations. Cr-PTC-HIna-SC had the highest surface area, pore volume, and pore size of 92.76 m2.g−1, 0.3947cm3.g−1, and 142.74 nm, respectively. Cr-PTC-HIna-SC has the highest percentage of methylene blue decolorization through adsorption of 61.843% and photocatalytic degradation of 25.635%. Sonochemical and hydrothermal showed potential as more eco-friendly methods than solvothermal in synthesizing Cr-PTC-HIna MOF. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
