Pd/CeO₂ Catalysts Prepared by Solvent-free Mechanochemical Route for Methane Abatement in Natural Gas Fueled Vehicles

Catalytic Abatement of Methane Emission from CNG Vehicles: An Overview

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a substitution of alternative fuel for automotive application with significant environmental advantages as it is the only fuel cheaper than gasoline or diesel, comparatively lower air pollution emissions, lesser CO2 emissions. However, emission of methane is 40% more in CNG fuelled engines compared to gasoline and diesel. With the exponential growth in CNG fuelle...

A multi-step solvent-free mechanochemical route to indium(iii) complexes.

Mechanochemistry is well-established in the solid-phase synthesis of inorganic materials but has rarely been employed for molecular syntheses. In recent years, there has been nascent interest in 'greener' synthetic methods with less solvent, higher yields, and shorter reaction times being especially appealing to the fine chemicals and inorganic catalyst industries. Herein, we demonstrate that m...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

DeNOx Abatement over Sonically Prepared Iron-Substituted Y, USY and MFI Zeolite Catalysts in Lean Exhaust Gas Conditions

Iron-substituted MFI, Y and USY zeolites prepared by two preparation routes-classical ion exchange and the ultrasound modified ion-exchange method-were characterised by micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet (UV)/visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV/Vis DRS). Ultrasound irradiation, a new technique for the preparation of th...

Alternative Fueled Vehicles (AFV)

Introduction Acquisition of alternative fueled vehicles (AFV) within the United States and the Department of Defense is mandated by Federal Legislation and Executive Order. Under these mandates, the Air Force is required to plan, program, purchase, and utilize alternative fueled vehicles and establish access to refueling facilities. The applicable Acts and Orders accomplish two main goals. Firs...
