Local structure of the supported Keggin and Wells-Dawson heteropolyacids and its consequence on their (photo)catalytic activity

2018

Enhanced (photo)catalytic activity of Wells-Dawson (H6P2W18O62) in comparison to Keggin (H3PW12O40) heteropolyacids for 2-propanol dehydration in gas…

Abstract Catalytic and photocatalytic 2-propanol dehydration to propene at atmospheric pressure and a temperature range of 60–120 °C were carried out in gas-solid regime by using bare and supported Keggin H 3 PW 12 O 40 (PW 12 ) and Wells-Dawson H 6 P 2 W 18 O 62 (P 2 W 18 ) heteropolyacids (HPAs). Binary materials were prepared by impregnation of the HPAs on commercial SiO 2 and TiO 2 . The Wells-Dawson was in any case more active than the Keggin heteropolyacid and the differences were enhanced when the supported samples were used. In particular, Wells-Dawson HPA supported on TiO 2 and under irradiation showed the highest activity. The HPA species played the key role both in the catalytic …

Event-Triggered Nonlinear Control of OWC Ocean Wave Energy Plant

2018

This paper presents event-triggered nonlinear controllers for oscillating water column (OWC) ocean wave energy plant. The study is based on event-triggered backstepping controller (ET-BSC) and event-triggered sliding mode controller (ET-SMC) to control the rotational speed of an OWC turbine coupled to a generator. The designed controllers are capable to avoid the stalling of the Wells turbine so as to maximize its output power. The aim of event-triggered control is to minimize the control updates, thus providing efficient utilization of resources without compromising the OWC performance. In this regard, aperiodic sampling has been applied using an event-triggering rule derived from Lyapunov…

Nitride-based heterostructures grown by MOCVD for near- and mid-infrared intersubband transitions

2007

Intersubband (lSB) optical absorption in different nitride-based heterostructures grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) is reported. The role of indium in AlInN/GaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) is investigated. At high concentration (15%) AlInN is quasi lattice-matched to GaN and no cracks appear in the structure. At very low indium concentration (similar to 2%) the material quality is improved without decreasing the ISB transition wavelength with respect to the case of indium-free structures. Different mechanisms of strain relaxation in pure and 2% indium-doped AlN/GaN MQW structures are also investigated. ISB transition wavelengths of 2 urn for AlN/GaN MQWs, and 3 mu n f…

Heteropolyacids supported on boron nitride and carbon nitride for catalytic and catalytic photo-assisted alcohol dehydration

2021

Keggin H3PW12O40 (PW12) and Wells-Dawson H6P2W18O60 (P2W18) heteropolyacids (HPAs) are photo(catalysts) for various acid-promoted and redox catalytic reactions. Their activity increases if they are deposited on certain supports as metal oxides or carbon materials. Although the surface area and acid-base interactions of the HPAs with supports are considered as key factors for the performance of the binary material, the role of the local structure changes in the HPAs upon their immobilization on solids must be also of primary importance, directly affecting both acidity and photoredox properties. Here, the (photo)catalytic performance of Keggin and Wells-Dawson heteropolytungstates supported o…

Underbalance well completion - a modern approach for mature gas fields

2017

The exploitation of natural gas fields from Transylvanian Basin started a century ago. The majority of these fields were discovered and developed in the last century, from 1950 to 1970. So, these reservoirs have over 50 years of production historical. These are mature fields with a very low reservoir pressure. Now, for some of these reservoirs the pressure is 10 – 20 % of initial values. The biggest challenge for a production company is to make completions and recompletions in depleted reservoirs wells. At the beginning was not a problem to do a workover in these wells because the completion fluids were lost in the reservoir and the pressure helped the wells to clean up. Now, because the re…

Considerations on sand control in natural gas wells

2017

Mechanism of sand production in gas wells is complex and influenced by every operation performed into the well, starting from the opening of the production interval by drilling, and continuing with completion and putting into production as well as with the exploitation regime. Sand production along with fluids from gas reservoirs creates a series of potentially dangerous and costly problems. For selecting the most appropriate methods of sand-control all the data and information related to properties of reservoir rock, the history of sand production, the potential well flow rates as well as HSE and costs need to be evaluated. The conclusion of the authors is that the best results in sand con…
