Selective hydrogenation in trickle-bed reactor. Experimental and modelling including partial wetting. [PDF]
A steady state model of a trickle bed reactor is developed for the consecutive hydrogenation of 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene on a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. Various experiments have shown that the selectivity of this reaction towards the product of interest is much ...

Water splitting with polyoxometalate-treated photoanodes: Enhancing performance through sensitizer design [PDF]
Visible light driven water oxidation has been demonstrated at near-neutral pH using photoanodes based on nanoporous films of TiO2, polyoxometalate (POM) water oxidation catalyst [{Ru4O4(OH)2(H2O)4}(γ-SiW10O36)2]10- (1), and both known photosensitizer [Ru(

Iodide Adsorption from Water and Wastewater Using a Selective Hydrated Zr (IV) Oxide Particle-Impregnated Anion Exchange Resin; Batch and Column Studies [PDF]
Water pollution by iodo-compounds such as iodide ions is known as a vital issue due to its detrimental effect on human health. In the present study, hydrated zirconium oxide particle (HZO)-impregnated anion exchange resin, was synthesized for selective ...

Near critical catalyst reactant branching processes with controlled immigration [PDF]
Near critical catalyst-reactant branching processes with controlled immigration are studied. The reactant population evolves according to a branching process whose branching rate is proportional to the total mass of the catalyst.

Structural behaviour of copper chloride catalysts during the chlorination of CO to phosgene [PDF]
The interaction of CO with an attapulgite-supported Cu(II)Cl2 catalyst has been examined in a micro-reactor arrangement. CO exposure to the dried, as-received catalyst at elevated temperatures leads to the formation of CO2 as the only identifiable ...

Characterization of rice husk-based catalyst prepared via conventional and microwave carbonisation [PDF]
© 2017 Elsevier Ltd. Carbon-based sulphonated catalysts (CBSCs) were made from rice husk for biodiesel production. The CBSCs were prepared by microwave (MW) and conventional heating processes from the same feedstock.

Imaging Fermi-level hysteresis in nanoscale bubbles of few-layer MoS2
The electrical stability and reliability of two-dimensional (2D) crystal-based devices are mainly determined by charge traps in the device defects. Although nanobubble structures as defect sources in 2D materials strongly affect the device performance ...

Oxygen vacancy defects engineering on Cu-doped Co3O4 for promoting effective COS hydrolysis
The activation of H2O is a key step of the COS hydrolysis, which may be tuned by oxygen vacancy defects in the catalysts. Herein, we have introduced Cu into Co3O4 to regulate the oxygen vacancy defect content of the catalysts.
