  • rare earth pyrophosphates effective Catalysts for the production of acrolein from vapor phase dehydration of glycerol
    Catalysis Letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Qingbo Liu, Zhen Zhang, Ying Du, Jing Li, Xiangguang Yang
    Abstract:

    Vapor-phase dehydration of glycerol to produce acrolein was investigated at 320 °C over rare earth (including La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) pyrophosphates, which were prepared by precipitation method. The most promising Catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTA, BET and NH3-TPD measurements. The excellent catalytic performance of rare earth pyrophosphate depends on the appropriate surface acidity which can be obtained by the control of pH value in the precipitation and the calcination temperature, e.g. Nd4(P2O7)3 precipitated at pH = 6 and calcined at 500 °C in the Catalyst Preparation.

  • the large scale production of carbon nanotubes in a nano agglomerate fluidized bed reactor
    Chemical Physics Letters, 2002
    Co-Authors: Yao Wang, Hao Yu, Guangsheng Gu
    Abstract:

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) can be formed into loose agglomerates that can be fluidized during the growth process. This provides a way to prepare high-quality CNTs on a large scale at low cost in a nano-agglomerate fluidized-bed reactor (NAFBR). With the present fluidized-bed reactor design and Catalyst Preparation, 50 kg/day of carbon materials was synthesized, and a high yield of 70–80% CNTs was obtained. Fluidization characteristics distinctive to CNT growth in a fluidized-bed reactor are discussed.

  • Current status of hydrogen production techniques by steam reforming of ethanol: A review
    Energy and Fuels, 2005
    Co-Authors: Agus Haryanto, Sandun Fernando, Naveen Murali, Sushil Adhikari
    Abstract:

    Hydrogen is considered to be the most viable energy carrier for the future. Producing hydrogen from ethanol steam reforming would not only be environmentally friendly but also would open new opportunities for utilization of renewable resources, which are globally available. This paper reviews the current state of the steam reforming process of ethanol, examines different Catalysts, and, finally, makes a comparative analysis. Different Catalysts have been used for the steam reforming of ethanol. Depending on the type of Catalysts, reaction conditions, and the Catalyst Preparation method, ethanol conversion and hydrogen production vary greatly. It was observed that Co/ZnO, ZnO, Rh/Al2O3, RIVCeO2, and Ni/La2O3-Al2O3 performed the best, in regard to the steam reforming of ethanol. Currently, hydrogen production from ethanol steam reforming is still in the research and development stage.

  • catalytic ozonation of sulfamethazine antibiotics using ce0 1fe0 9ooh Catalyst Preparation and performance
    Chemosphere, 2016
    Co-Authors: Zhiyong Bai, Qi Yang, Jianlong Wang
    Abstract:

    Iron oxyhydroxides (FeOOH) are common crystalline forms of iron which play an important role in catalysis through a series of reduction-oxidation reactions. In this paper, Ce substituted goethite (Ce0.1Fe0.9OOH) was prepared by isomorphous substitution method, characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM-EDS, FTIR, and used for the catalytic ozonation of sulfamethazine (SMT). The results showed that the Catalyst can significantly enhance the mineralization of SMT, and more than 42.1% SMT were mineralized in the presence of the Catalyst, which is 1.74 times higher than ozonation alone. Moreover, with addition of Catalyst, more ozone was dissolved into solution. The solution pH decreased due to small-molecule organic acids formation. The catalytic activity decreased slightly during the repeated batch experiments, due to the corrosion of the Catalyst and the adsorption of the residual intermediates on the Catalyst surface.
