7 The role of the humidity content on the performance of catalytic reverse flow reactors (RFR) for the 8 abatement of methane emissions from coal mines is studied in this manuscript. It has been 9 demonstrated that this technique is very useful for the abatement, and even upgrading, of these 10 emissions. However, the effect of humidity on the reactor performance has not been addresses yet, 11 ...

Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol has gained considerable interest for its significant role in utilization using heterogeneous catalysts. This study is the first propose a kinetic model based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) mechanism over highly effective indium oxide (In2O3) catalyst. The work focuses different reaction conditions mainly revolving around variation operati...

This research focuses on deducing the kinetic mechanism for biodiesel production catalyzed by a CaO nanocatalyst derived from waste cockle shells via thermal hydration–dehydration treatment. In addition, preparation method hydration–dehydration-related parameters (hydration duration, recalcination temperature, and duration) was studied optimized. The transesterification reaction followed Langmu...

One of the current problems in environmental catalysis is design an effective and less costly catalytic system for oxidation CO. The nano-sized α-Mn2O3 oxide has been prepared modified with 0.5 wt.% Pt. catalysts have characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) diffuse-reflectance infr...

The hydrodeoxygenation of methyl-substituted phenols was carried out in a flow microreactor at 300 degrees C and 2.85 MPa hydrogen pressure over a sulfided CoMo/Al(2)O(3) catalyst. The primary reaction products were methyl-substituted benzene, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, and H(2)O. Analysis of the results suggests that two independent reaction paths are operative, one leading to aromatics and the...

In this work, char gasification of two coals (i.e., Shenfu bituminous coal and Zunyi anthracite) and a petroleum coke under a steam and CO2 mixture (steam/CO2 partial pressures, 0.025–0.075 MPa; total pressures, 0.100 MPa) and CO2/steam chemisorption of char samples were conducted in a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). Two conventional kinetic models exhibited difficulties in exactly fitting th...

The present work deals with the kinetic analysis and modelling of glycerol (GLY) oxidation in the liquid phase over a supported gold catalyst. A Langmuir-Hinshelwood model was proposed, after considering the effect of the reaction temperature, the NaOH/GLY ratio and the initial concentrations of GLY and GLY-Product mixtures. The proposed model effectively predicted the experimental results, and...

Wet oxidation of phenol over an Fe/activated carbon catalyst has been studied in a trickle-bed reactor in the following operational window: inlet C phenol=0.5 and 1 g/L, T=100-127 ◦C, PT=3-8 atm, W=0-4.8 g, QL=0.125-2 mL/min and QO2=91.6 NmL/min. The experiments were carried out in the absence of mass transfer limitations. Oxidation and mineralization reactions of phenol are proven to take plac...

Practical simulation of industrial-scale coal combustion relies on the ability to accurately capture the dynamics of coal subprocesses while also ensuring the computational cost remains reasonable. The majority of the residence time occurs post-devolatilization, so it is of great importance that a balance between the computational efficiency and accuracy of char combustion models is carefully c...
