Abstract

This paper describes the kinetics of catalytic oxidation of diesel soot with air under isothermal conditions (320-350 oC). Isothermal kinetics data were collected in a mini-semi-batch reactor. Experiments were performed over the best selected catalyst composition La0.7K0.3ZnOy prepared by sol-gel method. Characterization of the catalyst by XRD and FTIR confirmed that La1-xKxZnOy did not exhibit perovskite phase but formed mixed metal oxides. 110 mg of the catalyst-soot mixture in tight contact (10:1 ratio) was taken in order to determine the kinetic model, activation energy and Arrhenius constant of the oxidation reaction under the high air flow rate assuming pseudo first order reaction. The activation energy and Arrhenius constant were found to be 138 kJ/mol and 6.46x1010 min-1, respectively. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

A selenium and actived carbon (AC) catalyst has been applied for the selective reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding amines respectively using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing source un-der mild conditions. Under the optimized conditions, efficient and selective reduction of nitroarenes into the corresponding aromatic amines occurred over a recyclable selenium catalyst. The catalyst can be easily recovered after catalytic reaction and readily reused for 4 cycles with consistent activity hence reduces the cost of the catalyst. Copyright © 2015 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The ferrospinels NixZn1_xFe2O4 (x = 0.0 and 0.6) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method and analyzed by TGA/DTA, XRD, SEM-EDS, UV-Vis-DRS, and pHIEP. The adsorption potential of NZF NPs towards the Bromophenol blue (BPB) dye was investigated. The batch adsorption efficiency parameters were studied including contact time, pH, initial dye concentrations and catalyst dosage. Results indicated that NZF crystallized in single-phase and exhibited smaller crystallite size (49 nm vs. 59.24 nm) than that of the pristine (ZF). The SEM analysis showed that the materials are elongated-like shape. NZF catalyst showed a red-shift of absorption bands and a more narrowed band gap (2.30 eV vs. 1.65 eV) as compared to ZF. The adsorption process was found to be highly dependent to the pH of the solution, dye concentration and adsorbent dose. Under optimum conditions of 5 mg.L–1 BPB, 0.5 g.L–1 NZF catalyst, pH = 6, and 25 °C, up to ≈ 86.30%  removal efficiency could be achieved after 60 min. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model gave the best fit with highest correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.99). A high specific surface area, a stabilized dispersion state of NZF NPs and the electrostatic interaction between the BPB-2 anions and the NZF-H3O+active sites on NZF surface were believed to be the main factors that can be responsible for the high adsorption efficiency.

Abstract

In this work, p-type CuFe2O4 was synthesized by sol gel method. The prepared CuFe2O4 was used as photocathode catalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 reduction. The XRD, UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and Mott-Schottky (MS) experiments were done to characterize the catalyst. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was employed to evaluate the visible light (λ>400 nm) effect of this catalyst for CO2 reduction.  The band gap energy of the catalyst was calculated from the UV-Vis and was found 1.30 eV. Flat band potential of the prepared CuFe2O4 was also calculated and found 0.27 V versus Ag/AgCl. Under light irradiation in the CO2-saturated NaHCO3 solution, a remarkable current development associated with CO2 reduction was found during LSV for the prepared electrode from onset potential -0.89 V with a peak current emerged at -1.01 V (vs Ag/AgCl) representing the occurrence of CO2 reduction reaction. In addition, the mechanism of PEC was proposed for the photocathode where the necessity of a bias potential in the range of 0.27 to ~ -1.0 V vs Ag/AgCl was identified which could effectively inhibit the electron-hole (e-/h+) recombination process leading to an enhancement of CO2 reduction reactions.

Abstract

Phase transfer catalysis technique proved to be a useful method for synthesizing various organic compounds under heterogeneous reactions and recognized as a viable environmentally friendly. The influence of a new multi site phase transfer catalyst (MPTC) is the synthesis of 1-butoxy-4-tertbutylbenzene from 4-tert-butylphenol with 1-bromobutane (BB) under heterogeneous solid-liquid condition using potassium hydroxide as a base at 60 °C. The higher conversion of 1-bromobutane was achieved by using the synergistic condition of multi-site phase transfer catalyst in better efficacy. The reaction rate enhanced by decreases the volume of water. The apparent the reaction rate was found to be pseudo-first order kinetics. The apparent rate constant was increased linearly with the increase in the concentration of various parameters, such as: MPTC, temperature, potassium hydroxide, and stirring speed. The activation energy (Ea) was also calculated through the Arrhenius plot. Copyright © 2020 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Mesoporous cobalt oxide was investigated for the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene using tertiobutylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. The results were compared with several series of supported cobalt catalysts to study the influence of the cobalt loading and solvents on the overall conversion and selectivity. Mesoporous cobalt was synthesized through the nanocasting route using siliceous SBA-15 mesoporous material as a hard template and cobalt nitrate as the cobalt oxide precursor. Supported cobalt oxide catalysts (Co/MxOy) were synthesized by the impregnation method using two loadings (1 and 5 wt.%) and Al2O3, TiO2, and ZrO2 as supports. Samples were characterised by means: elemental analysis, X-ray powder Diffraction (XRD), BET (surface area), UV-Vis DR Spectroscopy, and MET. The results obtained showed that the cobalt oxide retains the mesoporous structure of SBA-15, and in all Co/MxOy, crystalline Co3O4 and CoO phases are observed. The mesoporous cobalt oxide is more active than the supported cobalt catalysts in the allylic oxidation of cyclohexene, with a conversion of 78 % of cyclohexene and 43.3 % selectivity toward 2-cyclohexene-1-ol. The highest activity of mesoporous cobalt oxide could be ascribed to its largest surface area. Furthermore, Co3O4 has both Lewis and Brönsted acidic sites whereas Co/MxOy has only Lewis acidic sites, which could also explain its superior catalytic activity. Moreover, mesoporous cobalt oxide was more stable than supported cobalt catalysts. Therefore, this catalyst is promising for allylic oxidation of alkenes.

Abstract

Glutaraldehyde crosslinked chitosan - silica nanobeads have been used as a support in the immobiliza-tion process of pepsin. The effect of pH, pepsin concentration, and temperature on the characteristics of both free and immobilized pepsin had been investigated in this study. The results showed that the im-mobilized pepsin has wider pH range, better capacity, performance and stability to high temperatures compared with those of free pepsin. The immobilized pepsin can be used for 8 to 10 times at which the activity remains 20%, whereas the free pepsin can only be used once. These results suggested promis-ing applications of immobilized enzyme as biocatalyst. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The present work focuses on the preparation and characterization of poly(3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane) (PGPTMS) under mild conditions. Ring-opening polymerization of the 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) is initiated with the bentonite of Maghnite-H+ (Mag-H+), an ecologic and low-cost catalyst. The evolution of epoxy ring-opening was studied in bulk and in solution using CH2Cl2 as solvent, as well as the influences of several factors such as the amount of Mag-H+, polymerization time and temperature on the yield of polymer were investigated. The best polymer yield (30 %) was obtained in bulk polymerization at room temperature (20 °C) for a reaction time 8 h, and it’s increases with time and reaches 68 % for 7 days. The structures of the obtained polymers (PGPTMS) were confirmed respectively by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The thermal properties of the prepared polymers were given by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the Tg of PGPTMS is recorded at -31.27 °C, and it is thermally stable with a degradation start temperature greater than 300 °C, all  decomposition stopped at 600 °C. Copyright © 2020 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of multilayer graphene (MLG) growth on bimetallic Co-Ni oxide/Al2O3 substrate using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) were investigated. The synthesis of MLG was performed at a temperature range of 700-900 oC. Characterization was carried out using TGA, XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, EDX, XPS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. The MLG growth on the bimetallic substrate was confirmed by XRD, FESEM, and HRTEM analysis. TGA and Raman spectroscopy analyses indicate the formation of thermally stable and high-quality MLG. The kinetic growth of MLG was investigated by varying the reaction temperature and monitoring the partial pressure of the ethanol (C2H5OH) as well as that of hydrogen. The data obtained were fitted to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model for the estimation of the reaction rate constants at different temperatures. The results showed that the reaction rate constant increased with temperature and the apparent activation energy of 13.72 kJ.mol-1 was obtained indicating a relatively fast rate of MLG growth. The parity plot obtained for the comparison of the predicted and observed rate of C2H5OH consumptions showed an excellent agreement. This study is important for understanding the growth kinetics of MLG in order to develop appropriate measures that can control the production of MLG thin films for use in the electronic industries.

Abstract

A facile, industrially viable, one-pot synthesis of 0.5-8 wt% Pt supported on 22 mol% Al-modified ana-tase with high surface area and thermal stability is presented. Four pathways were studied to deter-mine the effects of support properties on catalyst dispersion, and the highest dispersions were observed for high surface area materials containing 5-coordinate anatase. Systematic study of preparation vari-ables shows that low drying temperatures, slow calcination ramp rates, and slow reduction ramp rates further increased Pt dispersion and resulted in a more uniform Pt size distribution. Pt dispersions as high as 54% have been obtained using the one-pot method and 59% for Pt catalysts synthesized by dry impregnation. Statistically designed studies are needed to more completely determine the effects of synthesis variables and to optimize the dispersion and reduction of Pt supported on Al-modified ana-tase. Results presented in this paper show that this one-pot method and dry impregnation method us-ing our Al-modified anatase support are promising syntheses of highly dispersed Pt supported on stabi-lized titania. Our results demonstrate that the alumina-stabilized anatase support is superior to other anatase supports for (1) obtaining high Pt dispersions, i.e. more efficiently utilizing this expensive pre-cious metal, and (2) processes in which thermal stability is important due to its constant phase and pore structures at high temperatures. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
