Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as pivotal porous crystalline materials with diverse applications. Typically, MOFs are synthesized using solvothermal techniques at high temperatures and pressures. In this study, a novel approach was employed to synthesize zinc-based MOFs, specifically MOF-5, at low temperatures (up to 50 °C) via chemical mixing at standard pressures. Varying the temperature and solvents, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), in the chemical mixing process, the highest yield of the material was observed with DMF at 50 °C (M1). Two additional samples, M2 and M3, are synthesized at room temperature using DMF and NMP, respectively. Despite similarities in XRD, Raman, and FTIR analyses confirming successful MOF-5 formation, noticeable differences in sample morphology arise due to distinct synthesis conditions, particularly solvent and temperature variations. The MOF-5 samples exhibit UV absorption with varying band gaps. Notably, when employed as photocatalysts for organic dye (methylene blue) degradation, M2 outperforms others, achieving an impressive 85% degradation under simulated solar light irradiation. This work underscores the significance of tuning MOF photocatalyst properties through tailored synthesis routes, recognizing the profound impact of morphology and elemental composition on enhancing photocatalytic dye degradation performance.

Abstract

Sulfur is an impurity in diesel that causes low product quality and environmental pollution. Therefore, a catalyst is needed in the profound hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reaction to produce diesel fuel with low sulfur content. The catalyst synthesized in this work was NiMo/g-Al2O3 with the addition of PEG (2%, 4%, 6%) (w/w) and CA (1%, 2%, and 4%) (w/w). The catalyst was synthesized using the dry impregnation method with a metal concentration of 3% NiO and 15% MoO3. The obtained catalysts were characterized using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Surface Area Analyzer (SAA). This work acquired the best catalyst characteristics for the HDS process by adding 2% PEG and 1% CA with a concentration of 3.19% NiO and 13.98% MoO3. The surface area, pore volume, and diameter are 181.655 m2/g, 0.50 cm3/g, and 110.51 Å, respectively. The catalyst activity satisfies Euro V standards at 345 ℃ with a sulfur content of 9.55 ppm, and the sulfur conversion (HDS) is 98.75%. The density and cetane index of the obtained diesel fuel was 0.798 g/mL and 53.6, respectively. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst life time was limited by the formation of coke on the external and internal surfaces of catalyst in dehydrogenation reactors. The kinetics of decoking of dehydrogenation catalyst was studied in a pilot scale fixed bed reactor experimentally. The effects of temperature, oxygen concentration and other operating conditions on decoking process were investigated. A kinetic model was deve-loped to describe the decoking of mentioned catalyst. An objective function was defined as the sum of squares of the deviations among the calculated and plant data. Accordingly the appropriate values were found in order to minimize this function. It was concluded that there was a good agreement between simulation results and experimental data. © 2015 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The reduction of oil resources and increasing petroleum price has led to the search for alternative fuel from renewable resources such as biodiesel. Currently biodiesel is produced from vegetable oil using liquid catalysts. Replacement of liquid catalysts with solid catalysts would greatly solve the problems associated with expensive separation methods and corrosion problems, yielding to a cleaner product and greatly decreasing the cost of biodiesel production. In this paper, the development of solid catalysts and its catalytic activity are reviewed. Solid catalysts are able to perform trans-esterification and esterification reactions simultaneously and able to convert low quality oils with high amount of Free Fatty Acids. The parameters that effect the production of biodiesel are discussed in this paper. © 2012 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

In this research, the potential of M2+/Al intercalated chitosan has been evaluated and good ability to reduce dyes in an aqueous solution. M2+/Al intercalated chitosan was prepared by anion exchange method and coprecipitation in a nitrogen atmosphere. Selectivity adsorption was studied to maintain the ability of M2+/Al intercalated chitosan for particle size of direct dyes (direct green, direct red, and direct yellow). To evaluate the adsorption process, M2+/Al intercalated chitosan was conducted with kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic parameters. The kinetic data fitted well by pseudo-second order and isotherm fitted Langmuir isotherm with qmax obtained 294.11 and 322.58 mg/g for Zn/Al-chitosan and Mg/Al-chitosan, respectively.

Abstract

A modified model for the neutralization process of Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) reactor is presented in this study. The model accounts for the effect of strong acid [HCL] flowrate and strong base [NaOH] flowrate with the ionic concentrations of [Cl-] and [Na+] on the Ph of the system. In this work, the effect of important reactor parameters such as ionic concentrations and acid and base flowrates on the dynamic behavior of the CSTR is investigated and the behavior of mathematical model is compared with the reported models for the McAvoy model and Jutila model. Moreover, the results of the model are compared with the experimental data in terms of pH dynamic study. A good agreement is observed between our model prediction and the actual plant data. © 2011 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Bismuth oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through the solution combustion method with a variation of fuel: oxidizer (hydrazine: bismuth nitrate) ratios (ϕ) of ϕ<1, ϕ=1 (stoichiometrically balanced) and ϕ> 1. Bismuth oxide nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and UV-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS). The FTIR spectra obtained implies that the bismuth oxide nanoparticles of the three ratios contain Bi-O-Bi and Bi-O groups indicating its successful formation. XRD diffractogram suggests that the synthesized bismuth oxide nanoparticles form the α-Bi2O3 crystalline phase for ϕ<1 and ϕ>1; meanwhile a mixture of α-/β- Bi2O3 phases for ϕ=1. The SEM image illustrates that bismuth oxide nanoparticles form pebble shapes with the ratios in the order of increasing particle sizes of ϕ>1, ϕ=1, and ϕ<1. The UV-DRS results show that the bismuth oxide with ϕ<1, ϕ=1, and ϕ>1 have respective band gap energies of 2.76 eV, 2.72 eV, and 2.78 eV. The evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of the three bismuth oxide samples shows bismuth oxide with ϕ=1 has the highest photocatalytic activity in remazol black B and methyl orange dyes with rate constants 6.744 x 10-5 s-1 and 7.369 x 10-5 s-1, respectively.

Abstract

This paper reports on ruthenium nanoparticles formation and stabilization by hypercrosslinked poly-styrene and the catalytic properties of the nanocomposites obtained. Hypercrosslinked polystyrene with functional groups and without them was used. The nanocomposites were characterized using low-temperature nitrogen physisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron mi-croscopy. It is established that the tertiary amine group of the support influences both formation of ru-thenium nanoparticles, and their catalytic properties in the selective hydrogenation of D-glucose. Copyright © 2015 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
