Production of ethyl lactate by activated carbon-supported Sn and Zn oxide catalysts utilizing lignocellulosic side streams
2021
In this study, activated carbon-supported Sn and Zn oxide catalysts were prepared from hydrolysis lignin and used for the conversion of model solutions of trioses, hexoses, and lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates to ethyl lactate. Both catalysts, SnO2@AC and ZnO@AC, were able to produce ethyl lactate in high yields. SnO2@AC was a more active and selective catalyst in triose (dihydroxyacetone) conversion, providing 99% yield to ethyl lactate. ZnO@AC, by contrast, was more selective in glucose and hydrolysate conversion, with a yield of 60% and 85%, respectively. The ethyl lactate yields were significantly higher than those from the optimized model solution experiments when using ZnO@AC cata…
Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) and –tungsten(VI) complexes with tetradentate amino bisphenolates as catalysts for epoxidation
2017
Sixteen molybdenum and tungsten complexes with tripodal or linear tetradentate amino bisphenol ligands were studied as catalysts for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene, 1-octene, styrene, limonene and α-terpineol. These complexes can be divided into different categories upon key features, i.e. central metal (Mo versus W), side-arm donor (O versus N), hybridization of the N-donor (pyridine versus amine), ligand geometry (tripodal versus linear diamine) and sterical hindrance (Me versus tert-Bu substituents in the phenol part). All complexes can catalyse selectively the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene by tert-butylhydroperoxide whereas the activities and selectivities towards other olefins (1-…
Acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment to improve sugar release from birch sawdust : Structural and chemical aspects
2022
This study examined acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment of birch sawdust without a separate impregnation step. Catalyst amount and pretreatment time were the key variables. Pretreated material was mixed with water for hydrolysis (100 °C, 60 min). The efficient release of total reducing sugars from birch sawdust is significant to the path towards biofuels and biochemicals. Based on the results, the structure and surface of birch sawdust changed as a function of mechanocatalytic pretreatment. Milling time caused significant transformations in birch structure and also increased the yields of reducing sugars. The highest yield of total reducing sugar from pretreated sawdust was 23.0% a…
Transition metal chlorides complexes with tetrahydrofuran [MtCl(4)(THF)(2)] used as precursors of ethylene polymerization
2002
Otrzymano trzy kompleksy chlorków metali przejściowych z THF - [TiCl4(THF)2] (I), [ZrCl4(THF)2] (II), oraz [HfCWTHF),] (III) i zastosowano je jako prekursory katalizatorów tytanowo-magnezowych w niskociśnieniowej polimeryzacji (0,5 MPa, 323 K) etylenu przy użyciu AlEt3 (najkorzystniej), AlEt2Cl lub Al(z'-Bu)3 jako kokatalizatora (rys. 1, tabela 1). Zmierzono gęstość, gęstość nasypową, stopień krystaliczno-ści, ciężary cząsteczkowe i ich rozkład oraz temperaturę topnienia uzyskanego PE-HD (tabela 1). Aktywność katalizatorów wzrastała w szeregu (III) < (II) < (I), tzn. ze wzrostem elektroujemności pierwiastka metalu i ze spadkiem wartości ładunku cząstkowego na atomie metalu grupy przejściowe…

2001
Dokonano przeglądu prac dotyczących komputerowego projektowania katalizatorów do polimeryzacji olefin z punktu widzenia wpływu katalizatorów na przebieg tego procesu. Omówiono osiągnięcia w teoretycznym przewidywaniu katalitycznych właściwości kompleksów metali przejściowych, które dokonały się dzięki zrozumieniu mechanizmu polimeryzacji, charakteru centrów aktywnych, przyczyn aktywności takich katalizatorów oraz roli poszczególnych ich składników. Przedstawiono również zagadnienia, na których prawdopodobnie skupią się obecne i przyszłe prace teoretyczne w dziedzinie polimeryzacji koordynacyjnej (rola kokatalizatorów i zasad Lewisa dodawanych do układów katalitycznych, wpływ warunków doświa…
Kernels and Graphs on M25 + H
2023
Codes related to article "Graphs and Kernelized Learning Applied to Interactions of Hydrogen with Doped Gold Nanoparticle Electrocatalysts". There are two main types of codes: codes to transform a catalytic system of protected gold nanoparticle and a single hydrogen atom into a graph-based representation, and codes to run kernel-based machine learning methods to predict interaction energies between the nanoparticle and the hydrogen atom. This is a snapshot of the code dataset that has been taken on 06.06.2023. A more detailed description of the data and the address to the GitLab repository for the latest version of the code can be found from the parent dataset of this data publication.

Studies of ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization over zirconocene catalyst supported on MAO-modified MgCl2(THF)2. The effect of copolymerization conditi…
2003
Composition of catalytic system and copolymerization reaction conditions influence on heterogeneity of ethylene/1-hexene copolymers obtained over MgCI2(THF)2/MAO/Cp2ZrCl2/MAO catalyst was studied. One of the DSC techniques, i.e. successive self-nucleation/annealing (SSA) method allowing separation of the polymer into fractions with differing chemical composition in result of alternating crystallization and melting cycles was applied. It was found that the intermolecular heterogeneity exists inside all studied samples irrespective of the reaction conditions (temperature and time) and the catalyst composition (Al/Zr molar ratio). It was also confirmed that catalyst composition has a considera…
MICROBIAL FUEL CELL WITH Ni-Co CATHODE AND KMnO4 CATHOLYTE
2017
The improving standard of living causes the increases in energy consumption and waste or wastewater production. The possibility of combining wastewater treatment and electricity production can be accomplished by means of a microbial fuel cell. The possibility of wastewater treatment using the Ni-Co alloy as cathode catalyst with KMnO4 catholyte for microbial fuel cells was presented in this paper. The measurements covered the comparison of changes in the concentration of COD, NH4+ and NO3- in the reactor without aeration, with aeration and using a microbial fuel cell (with Ni-Co cathode and KMnO4 catholyte). The reduction time for COD using a microbial fuel cell with the Ni-Co catalyst (and…
