An Optimisation Strategy for the Catalytic Transformation of Bioethanol into Olefins Using Computational Intelligence

Synthesis of Nanostructured MnNiAPSO-34 Catalyst: Catalytic Properties and Performance

Silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO-34) molecular sieve doped with transition metals, Mn and Ni, with different molar ratios (Mn/Ni=0.33, 3) were investigated for their activity, selectivity and lifetime in biomethanol to olefins reaction. MnNiAPSO-34 nanostructured catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method and addition of metals was carried out by isomorphous substitution into the crystalline f...

Preparation and Characterization of CoMn/TiO2 Catalysts for Production of Light Olefins

A series of x(Co, Mn)/TiO2 catalysts (x=2–12wt.%) containing 25%Co and 75%Mn were prepared by the co-impregnation method. All prepared catalysts have been tested in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for production of C2-C4 olefins. It was found that the catalyst containing 8wt.%(Co,Mn)/TiO2 is an optimal catalyst for production of C...

The Synthesis of SAPO-34 at Different Crystallization Temperature and its Catalytic Performance for Methanol to Olefins Reaction

Application of Graph Theory: Investigation of Relationship Between Boiling Temperatures of Olefins and Topological Indices

Abstract: In this study an appropriate computational approach was presented for estimating the boiling temperatures of 41 different types of olefins and their derivatives. Based on the guidelines of this approach, several structural indices related to the organic components were applied using graph theory. Meanwhile, in addition to evaluating the relation between the boiling temperatures of ole...

Need for Optimisation of Immunisation Strategies Targeting Invasive Meningococcal Disease in the Netherlands

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a severe bacterial infectious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide. In recent years, industrialised countries have implemented vaccines targeting IMD in their National Immunisation Programmes (NIPs). In 2002, the Netherlands successfully implemented a single dose of meningococcal serogroup C conjugate vaccine at the age of 14 months a...
