local information about tillage intensity and ground residue coverage is useful for policies in agricultural extension, tillage implement design and upgrading management methods. the current methods for assessing crop residue coverage and tillage intensity such as residue weighing methods, line-transect and photo comparison methods are tedious and time-consuming. the present study was devoted t...

The catalytic conversion of glycerol to aromatics (GTA, e.g ., benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a shaped H-ZSM-5/Al 2 O 3 (60/40 wt%) catalyst was investigated in continuous fixed-bed reactor study the addition Al binder formulation on performance. experiments were performed under N at 550 °C, WHSV (pure) 1 h ?1 , atmospheric pressure. spent catalysts reused after an oxidative regenerat...

The elucidation of the selective catalytic reduction mechanisms over state-of-the-art metal-promoted zeolites is essential for nitric oxides removal in automobile and stationary source applications. In this work, H/ZSM-5 catalysts modified with transition metals, including copper, manganese, nickel, were prepared by using an incipient wetness impregnation method evaluated ammonia. Results indic...

The selective preparation of monobenzyl glyceryl ethers, which are potential commodity chemicals with special functions, was explored to find new applications for glycerol. Among the acid catalysts investigated (sulfuric acid, heteropoly acid, Nafion(R), and zeolite), Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) afforded better results. The reaction of equimolar amounts of glycerol and benzyl alcohol at 150º...

ZSM-5 nanoparticles coated with microporous organic polymers showed 88% retention of ammonia adsorption capacity at 43% RH.

The dynamics of carburization of Mo-oxo precursors exchanged onto H-ZSM-5 strongly influence initial induction periods and steady-state rates during catalytic pyrolysis of CH4 to alkenes and arenes at 900-1000 K. The effects of co-reactants and of activating conditions were examined by on-line time-resolved mass spectrometric analysis of effluent streams using rigorous analyses to account for e...
