the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride as a source of hydrogen gas is studied at different mole ratios of h+ to nabh4. the sulfonated porous carbon (spc) is used as a source of hydrogen ion and catalyst. it is found that the sulfonated porous carbon exhibits high activity for the hydrolysis of nabh4 to generate hydrogen gas at room temperature in comparison to amberlyst-15 and nafion-nr50. the ki...

The reaction of ammonia and pyridine with trimethylsulfonium ion has been studied in gas phase and solution. Density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31+G level was used to describe the energy changes along the reaction coordinate in the gas phase, and the self-consistent isodensity polarizable continuum model (SCI-PCM) was used to calculate the effect of cyclohexane and dimethyl sulfoxide as t...

le chatelier's principle is used as a very simple way to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. . however, several studies have reported the violation of this principle, still there is no reported simple mathematical equation to express the exact condition of violation in the gas phase reactions. in this article, we derived a simple equation for the violati...

3D-Printing with the well-established 'Fused Deposition Modeling' technology was used to print totally gas-tight reaction vessels, combined with printed cuvettes, inside the inert-gas atmosphere of a glovebox. During pauses of the print, the reaction flasks out of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene were filled with various reactants. After the basic test reactions to proof the oxygen tightness and...

This paper presents the numerical investigation of the effects of the general bed characteristics such as superficial gas velocities, bed temperature, bed heights and particle size, on the direct synthesis in a 3D fluidized bed reactor. A 3D model for the gas flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer was coupled to the direct synthesis reaction mechanism verified in the literature. The model was v...
