Simulations on the mechanism of CNT bundle growth upon smooth and nanostructured Ni as well as θ-Al2O3 catalysts

2011

Abstract In the current study, we have performed ab initio DFT calculations on the gradually growing 2D periodic models of capped single-wall carbon nanotubes (SW CNTs) upon their perpendicular junctions with the Ni(111) substrate, in order to understand the peculiarities of the initial stage of their growth on either smooth or nanostructured catalytic particles. Appearance of the adsorbed carbon atoms upon the substrate follows from the dissociation of CVD hydrocarbon molecules, e.g., CH4: (CH4)ads → (CH)ads+3Hads and (CH)ads → Cads+Hads. (Since the effective growth of CNTs upon Ni nanoparticles occur inside the nanopores of amorphous alumina, we have also simulated analogous surface react…

Ibuprofen degradation using a Co-doped carbon matrix derived from peat as a peroxymonosulphate activator

2021

The wider presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in nature is a major cause for concern in society. Among pharmaceuticals, the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen has commonly been found in aquatic and soil environments. We produced a Co-doped carbon matrix (Co-P 850) through the carbonization of Co2+ saturated peat and used it as a peroxymonosulphate activator to aid ibuprofen degradation. The properties of Co-P 850 were analysed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy filtered transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The characterization results showed that Co/Fe oxides were generated and tightly embedded into the carbon matrix …

Badania dotyczą układu katalitycznego MgCl2(THF)2/MAO/Cp2ZrCl2/MAO (MAO — metyloaluminoksan). Stwierdzono, że zarówno aktywność tego układu katalitycznego, jak i właściwości kopolimerów w znacznym stopniu zależą od stosunku molowego Al:Zr (zmienianego w przedziae 1500—7000) i od temperatury kopolimeryzacji (tabele 1 i 2), natomiast wpływ czasu kopolimeryzacji jest mniejszy (tabela 3). Aktywność katalizatora oraz zawartość 1-heksenu wbudowanego do kopolimeru zwiększają się ze wzrostem temperatury i stosunku Al:Zr, a jednocześnie maleje ciężar cząsteczkowy i temperatura topnienia produktów. Ustalono także, że osadzenie katalizatora cyrkonocenowego na stosowanym nośniku powoduje zwiększenie je…

The complementary structural studies of the double metal cyanide type catalysts for the ring opening polymerization of the oxiranes

2016

Przeprowadzono badania strukturalne katalizatorów dimetalocyjankowych (DMC) z dwoma rodzajami ligandów organicznych. Zaproponowano wyjaśnienie etapów przebiegu krzywych otrzymanych metodą analizy termograwimetrycznej i różnicowej kalorymetrii skaningowej (TG/DSC) badanych katalizatorów. Wykazano obecność kilku stopni związania ligandów w kompleksach DMC. Na podstawie wyników badań z wykorzystaniem absorpcji rentgenowskiej (XAS) stwierdzono, że centrum aktywne katalizatora stanowi atom cynku. W bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie atomów Zn wykryto obecność atomów Cl, natomiast w najbliższych sferach koordynacyjnych atomu Zn nie wykryto atomów tlenu.

Structural examination data are presented for various supports. Porosimetry (Table 2) and particle size distribution studies on MgCl 2, MgCl 2(THF) 2, Al 2O 3 as supports, carried out prior to and after ball-milling (Figs. 1, 3), suggest that MgCl 2 is beneficial as carrier because it is more liable to pretreatment (ball-milling, presence of a Lewis base) and allows its mass to be better utilized and its surface to produce catalytically active centers. Prolonged ball-milling of MgCl 2 was found to result not only in comminuted particles but also in increased specific area and larger pore volume. Studies on synthesis conditions of a vanadium precursor supported on MgCl 2(THF) 2 showed prolon…

Carbons from second generation biomass as sustainable supports for catalytic systems

2018

Abstract In this study activated carbons were produced from the wood of three different wood species (pine, birch, spruce). The resulting activated carbons were characterized in bulk for ash content, carbon content (elemental analyses), specific surface area, and pore size distribution, and at the surface by measuring the autogenerated pH and studying their structure by XPS. All the samples presented high surface areas and appeared to be mesoporous materials (mesopores >80%). The carbons were then used as support for AuPt nanoparticles and tested in the liquid phase oxidation of glycerol (GLY) and in the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA), two important chemicals from cellulose-based biom…

Conversion of Xylose to Furfural over Lignin-Based Activated Carbon-Supported Iron Catalysts

2020

In this study, conversion of xylose to furfural was studied using lignin-based activated carbon-supported iron catalysts. First, three activated carbon supports were prepared from hydrolysis lignin with different activation methods. The supports were modified with different metal precursors and metal concentrations into five iron catalysts. The prepared catalysts were studied in furfural production from xylose using different reaction temperatures and times. The best results were achieved with a 4 wt% iron-containing catalyst, 5Fe-ACs, which produced a 57% furfural yield, 92% xylose conversion and 65% reaction selectivity at 170 &deg
