Carbon disulfide (CS2) is a typical organic sulfur compound emitted from many industrial processes, such as petrochemical, smelting, et al. Chemical adsorption promising method for CS2 removal and Fe based adsorbents usually show excellent performance. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) always perform magical effects in various heterogeneous reactions. In this work, pyrolyzing coordinated polymer (PC...

For the paper industry, the disposal and management of the yielded sludge are a considerable challenge. In our work, the paper mill sludge-derived magnetically separable heterogeneous catalyst (PMS-Fe-380) was prepared easily through a facile synthesis method. The morphology and structure of PMS-Fe-380 were fully characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrosco...

The distribution of the rare earths and yttrium (REY) in co-existing hydrous Mn oxides and Fe oxides that form marine hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts is used to better describe the partitioning and fractionation of the REY between these (hydr)oxides and seawater in the natural marine system. Four fractions (easily exchangeable, Mn-oxide-bound, Fe-oxidebound, and insoluble-residue-bound REY) ...

The catalytic reduction of SO2 to elemental sulfur by methane was studied over ceria-based catalysts. Both La-doped and undoped ceria were found to catalyze the SO2 reduction by CH4 in the temperature range of 550–750◦C at atmospheric pressure and with feed gases containing a molar ratio of CH4/SO2 = 0.5–3. At temperatures below ∼550◦C, the catalyst surface is capped by SO2. The reaction light-...

Many solar fuel generator designs involve illumination of a photoabsorber stack coated with a catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this design, impinging light must pass through the catalyst layer before reaching the photoabsorber(s), and thus optical transmission is an important function of the OER catalyst layer. Many oxide catalysts, such as those containing elements Ni and C...

Fe₃O₄ microsphere is a good candidate as support for catalyst because of its unique magnetic property and large surface area. Coating Fe₃O₄ microspheres with other materials can protect them from being dissolved in acid solution or add functional groups on their surface to adsorb catalyst. In this paper, a carbon layer was coated onto Fe₃O₄ microspheres by hydrothermal treatment using polyethyl...

The methylene blue (MB) removal abilities of raw activated carbon and iron/cerium modified raw activated carbon (Fe-Ce-AC) by adsorption were researched and compared. The characteristics of Fe-Ce-AC were examined by N2 adsorption, zeta potential measurement, FTIR, Raman, XRD, XPS, SEM and EDS. After modification, the following phenomena occurred: The BET surface area, average pore diameter and ...

We report surface-bound growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at temperatures as low as 350 degrees C by catalytic chemical vapor deposition from undiluted C2H2. NH3 or H2 exposure critically facilitates the nanostructuring and activation of sub-nanometer Fe and Al/Fe/Al multilayer catalyst films prior to growth, enabling the SWNT nucleation at lower temperatures. We suggest that carbo...

Understanding Fe deposition in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysis is critical for the mitigation of catalyst degradation. Here we employ soft X-ray ptychography to determine at the nanoscale the distribution and chemical state of Fe in an aged FCC catalyst particle. We show that both particle swelling due to colloidal Fe deposition and Fe penetration into the matrix as a result of precrac...
