Article history: Received 11 October 2015 Received in revised form 2 December 2015 Accepted 15 December 2015 Available online 17 December 2015 The dry reforming of methane (DRM) utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) as the oxidizing agent in order to produce synthesis gas. Catalyst deactivation via coking, oxidation, and sintering has stymied the industrialization of catalysts for the DRM. Here, we uti...

As part of the DOE-sponsored liquid phase methanol process development program (Contract No. DE-ACZZ-87PC90005), the present study (Task 3.8) evaluated adsorptive schemes to remove catalyst poisons from coal gas at pilot scale. In addition to a lab test with coal gas from Coolwater. two field tests were performed at Great Plains with live coal gas. In the lab test with Coolwater gas, iron carbo...

The nucleation and rapid growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were explored by pulsed-laser assisted chemical vapor deposition (PLA-CVD). A special high-power, Nd:YAG laser system with tunable pulse width (>0.5 ms) was implemented to rapidly heat (>3× 104°C/s) metal catalyst-covered substrates to different growth temperatures for very brief (sub-second) and controlled time periods as ...

cet article a pour objectif de montrer que le traducteur outre ses connaissances linguistiques et culturelles a besoin de moyens extérieurs ou d’instruments pour résoudre les problèmes de la traduction. nous allons commencer par les désigner et ensuite étudier les qualités et les défauts de chaque outil. pour cela nous ferons une comparaison entre le dictionnaire unilingue et bilingue. par la s...

Assumptions of individual rationality and preference stability provide the foundation for a convenient and tractable modeling approach. While both of these assumptions have come under scrutiny in distinct literatures, the two lines of research remain disjointed. This study begins by explicitly linking the two literatures while providing insights into perhaps the central issue facing behavioral ...

Computers can be very helpful to us by performing tasks on our behalf. For example, they are very good at performing calculations, storing information and producing visualisations of objects that do not yet exist as a made artifact. Increasingly, however, a different role is being found for the computer. It is the role of a catalyst, or a stimulant, to our own creative thinking. In such cases t...

A simple and efficient synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl substituted pyrimidines has been developed via initial Knoevenagal, subsequent addition and final cyclization of aldehyde, ethylcyanoacetate and guanidine nitrate. Piperidine has been used as a catalyst. Short reaction time, environment friendly procedure and excellent yields are the advantages of this procedure. All synthesized compounds ...

Catalyst selectivity is associated with well-defined homogeneous active sites. Transition metal complexes and organocatalysts are highly active and selective in the homogeneous phase, and their heterogenization by incorporating them into inorganic solid materials allows combining their excellent catalytic activity with improved separation, recovering and recycling properties. In this article, w...

The aim of this paper is to analyze how different catalyst activity profiles influence the operating strategies of industrial reactors. Based on this analysis a method that can be used to transform information given by laboratory reactor experiments into a form which can be used to estimate the productivity of the catalyst and the quality properties of polymers under industrial conditions is pr...
