Insights into coverage-affected selective catalytic oxidation of ethylene on Ag(111) from comprehensive microkinetic analyses

Including lateral interactions into microkinetic models of catalytic reactions.

In many catalytic reactions lateral interactions between adsorbates are believed to have a strong influence on the reaction rates. We apply a microkinetic model to explore the effect of lateral interactions and how to efficiently take them into account in a simple catalytic reaction. Three different approximations are investigated: site, mean-field, and quasichemical approximations. The obtaine...

Insights into the effect of vanadium on chromium-vanadium Phillips catalysts for the ethylene polymerization

The chromium/vanadium bimetallic Phillips catalysts developed by our research group have been proved to be a promising process to produce bimodal polyethylene using a single-reactor process. The vanadium loading of CrV-1/1, CrV-1/2, and CrV-1/3 has a significant effect on the polymerization activity, product molecular weight (MW), as well as th...

translation of collocations from english into persian, based on ghazalas theory

غزالا همایندها را به صورت ترکیبی از دو یا چند واژه که همواره در متون مختلف زبان ها همراه با هم می آیند تعریف می نماید. از دیدگاه او روند رو به رشد میل به ترجمه ی همایندها در مطالعات ترجمه، به دلیل اهمیت آنها در انسجام ساختار زبان است. این پایان نامه اساسا به ترجمه ی همایندها منحصر شده است. هدف آن بررسی کاربرد راهکارهای غزالا در مورد ترجمه ی همایندها از انگلیسی به فارسی است. هدف دیگر آن یافتن پر...

New insights into catalytic CO oxidation on Pt-group metals at elevated pressures

Producing a definitive picture of the CO oxidation reaction (CO + O2 ? CO2) on Pt-group metals (Rh, Pd, Pt, and Ru) across the ‘pressure gap’ has proved to be a challenging task. Surface-sensitive techniques amenable to high pressure environments (e.g. PM-IRAS) have sparked a renewed interest in this reaction under realistic pressures. Here, we review recent work in our laboratory examining CO ...
