Abstract

Hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 Porous Microplates have been successfully synthesized by incorporation of Ti precursors into SiO2 synthesized from Si precursors in a gelatin-CTAB mixture via the hydrothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDX, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The sample has a surface area of 735 m2/g, pore volume of 0.67 cc/g, and pore diameter of 3.2 nm, according to the results of the characterization of hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 porous microplates. The transformation of SiO2 microspheres into hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 porous microplates is revealed by a microparticle size increase of 84% and the transition of Si−O bonds into Ti−O and Si−O as measured by FTIR. The photocatalytic activity of hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 porous microplates resulted in 81.15% photodegradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation within 60 min, which was 21 % better than SiO2.

Abstract

Ash-based catalysts, as low-cost materials, are applicable in biomass pyrolysis and play a role in lowering the activation energy. This study enriched the insights of different method of catalyst addition into biomass in the catalytic pyrolysis. The addition of rice husk ash as a catalyst into rice husk pellets allows for better solid-solid contact between the biomass and the catalyst, since the common methods were only solid mixing. This research aimed to investigate the thermal characteristics and kinetics of the biomass components (hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin) in the in-situ catalytic pyrolysis of rice husk pellets with the addition of husk ash. The three-independent parallel reaction kinetics model was used to calculate the kinetics parameters based on thermogravimetric analysis conducted at 303-873 K with various heating rates (5, 10, 20 K/min) and ash addition ratios (10:0, 10:1, 10:2). The thermogram shows that the pyrolysis of rice husk pellets was divided into two stages. Stage 1, ranging from 510-650 K, represented the decomposition of hemicellulose and cellulose, occurring faster with high mass loss, while Stage 2, starting at around 650 K, represented lignin decomposition, occurring more slowly with low mass loss. The catalytic activity of the ash was only apparent at high temperatures, where cellulose and lignin decomposition were more dominant. Activation energy, as a representation of catalytic activity for each component, was not always lower in catalytic pyrolysis. However, the average activation energy decreased with increasing heating rates and ash addition ratios. The addition of the catalyst slowed the decomposition of hemicellulose but accelerated the decomposition of cellulose and lignin. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Biochar material is a renewable adsorbent widely used for treating contaminated wastewater. The hydrothermal carbon (HTC) were prepared from low polymeric sugars and low concentration glucose under hydrothermal carbonization reactions without using dispersants. The composition and structure of the biochar produced were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), and N2 adsorption-desorption, indicating that amorphous graphitic carbon was obtained. Experimental results from the static adsorption of Cr(VI)-contaminated wastewater showed that HTCP-2 exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for Cr(VI), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 22.62 mg.g−1.The adsorption Cr(VI), MB, and RhB by the synthesized biochar all conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm, suggesting a multilayer chemical adsorption process. Additionally, the synthesized HTC surface is enriched with a significant amount of oxygen-rich functional groups, which also has good adsorption performance for cationic dyes. Furthermore, the test results of fluorescence, photocurrent, and impedance indicate that HTCP-2 possesses the ability to generate and separate photoinduced charge carriers. This implied that HTCP-2 can be used for the preparation of adsorption photocatalysts, which effectively remove environmental pollutants through the synergistic effect of adsorption-photocatalysis. This study provides a research foundation for advancing water treatment technologies. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

This research was aimed to convert Calophyllum inophyllum kernel oil into liquid fuel through hydro-cracking process using non-sulfide CoMo catalysts. The experiment was carried out in a pressurized re-actor operated at temperature and pressure up to 350 oC and 30 bar, respectively. The CoMo catalysts used in the experiment were prepared by 10 wt.% loading of cobalt and molybdenum solutions over various supports, i.e. γ-Al2O3, SiO2, and γ-Al2O3-SiO2 through impregnation method. It is figured out from the experiment that non-sulfide CoMo based catalysts have functioned well in the hydrocracking conversion of Calophyllum inophyllum kernel oil into fuels, such as gasoline, kerosene, and gasoil. The CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst resulted higher conversion than CoMo/SiO2 and CoMo/γ-Al2O3-SiO2. The fuel yields were 25.63% gasoline, 17.31% kerosene, and 38.59% gasoil. The fuels obtained in this research do not contain sulfur compounds so that they can be categorized as environmentally friendly fuels. © 2015 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The problems of processing spent adsorbents with a high concentration of chemisorbed chlorine-containing compounds for their reuse are studied in this article. The genesis of the phase composition and morphology at all technological stages of thermochemical regeneration of the spent adsorbent - Axstrap-860 by means of alkaline modification with a combined solution of sodium and potassium hydroxides has been tested by diffractometry and elemental analysis. The results show that the formation of a layer with an increased concentration of alkali metals in the form of the corresponding carbonates and NaOH on the surface of the granules and in the volume of sodium and potassium aluminates provides adsorption of HCl, which are slightly inferior to the fresh adsorbent. The conditions for the removal of halogen-containing substances from technogenic raw materials with the subsequent isolation of useful products have been optimized: (1) crystalline NaCl intended for the preparation of electrolyte for electrode boilers and steam generators; (2) a mixture of chlorides and hydroxochlorides of aluminum tested in the process of coagulation purification of turbid natural and waste waters; (3) pseudoboehmite for the production of an adsorbent-desiccant and the synthesis of magnesium-aluminum spinel using the technology of destruction-epitaxial transformation, and a promising carrier for catalysts for steam reforming of hydrocarbons.

Abstract

In this paper, the catalysts (Nano-HZSM-5 and Fe-La/nano HZSM-5) were prepared with incipient wetness impregnation and applied for hydrocracking of Sunan candlenut oil. The hydrocracking process was conducted in a batch reactor with a pressure of 20-30 bar H2 gas for 2 h under various temperatures. The results demonstrated that hydrocracking of Sunan candlenut oil using nano HZSM-5 and Fe-La/NHZ catalysts could be converted into aromatic hydrocarbons, and the reaction temperature affected hydrocarbon production. The aromatic compounds, such as propyl-benzene, 1-ethyl-3-methylbenzene, heptyl-benzene, 2-ethyl-naphthalene, etc., reached 35.51% over the Fe-La/NHZ_2 catalyst. In all cases, the zeolite-based catalysts are the most suitable to produce aromatic hydrocarbons. Metal impregnated (Fe and La) on nano HZSM-5 catalyst could improve the aromatics compounds due to increased metal and acid sites. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

This article described a successful growing of silver nanoparticle chains (AgNPs) within the internal spaces of single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT). The use of ethanol in the liquid phase adsorption could produce relatively long silver nanoparticle chains encapsulated in the nanotubes (AgNPs-SWCNT). A significant decrease of nitrogen uptake and radial breathing mode (RBM) as well as tan-gential mode (G band) upshifts of AgNPs-SWCNT specimen suggest that the nanoparticles have been encapsulated in the internal tube spaces of the nanotube. The presence of metallic silvers on the exter-nal surface of the carbon nanotube that was observed by scanning electron microscope and examined by X-ray diffraction technique was successfully able to be removed by ultrasonic using 1 M HNO3. The remaining small residue obtained after thermal gravimetric analysis up to 1100 K supports the sugges-tion on the presence of silver encapsulated inside SWCNT. Copyright © 2015 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

In this study, the esterification reaction of oleic acid (OA) with methanol was investigated in the presence of a sulfonated hydrothermal carbon-based catalyst under microwave irradiation. The reaction conditions were optimized using response surface methodology based on a central composite design. Three following variables were studied: methanol to OA molar ratios (2.5:1–7.5:1), reaction time (50–70 min) and catalyst loading (2–5 wt.%) to provide a statistical model with the coefficient of regression (R2) of 0.9407. Based on the model, the optimum OA conversion of 95.6% was predicted at 5.8:1 methanol to OA molar ratio, 60 min and 3.05 wt.% catalyst loading. The experimental validation indicated that the model gave a good prediction of OA conversion (2.8% error). Furthermore, the reaction was found to be reasonably described by the pseudo-first order kinetics. The dependency of the reaction rate constant on temperatures gave a value of the activation energy of 64 kJ/mol. Copyright © 2020 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
