Single-atom catalysts have attracted much interest recently because of their excellent stability, high catalytic activity, and remarkable atom efficiency. Inspired by the recent experimental discovery of a highly efficient single-atom catalyst Pd1/γ-Al2O3, we conducted a comprehensive DFT study on geometries, stabilities and CO oxidation catalytic activities of M1/γ-Al2O3 (M=Pd, Fe, Co, and Ni)...

In the last few years, many efforts have been devoted to investigating antibacterial activity of metal nanoparticles, especially against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recently extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria emerged and caused a global threat. The purpose this manuscript was synthesize nanostructured γ-Al2O3 as an agent some XDRs. results showed that Al2O3 mix rod spherical shapes in ...

Iron-based catalysts were developed to achieve the hydrodechlorination (HDC)/oxidation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from thermal desorption off-gas, and Fe3O4/γ-Al2O3 showed higher dechlorination efficiency than Fe2O3/γ-Al2O3. The optimal Fe loading resulted in 95.5% degradation 76.9% toxicity reduction gaseous PCBs, exhibited excellent stability during a 60-h test. gas chromatography–ma...

The effects of the addition of ceria and zirconia on the structural properties of supported rhodium catalysts (1.6 and 4 wt % Rh/γ-Al2O3) are studied. Ceria and zirconia are deposited by using two preparation methods. Method I involves the deposition of ceria on γ-Al2O3 from Ce(acac)3, and the rhodium metal is subsequently added, whereas method II is based on a controlled surface reaction techn...

The addition of small amounts (2-10 wt %) of SiO2 to γ-Al2O3 increases the temperature of heat treatment necessary for transformation to R-Al2O3 by ∼100 K. We have studied this system using high-temperature solution calorimetry in molten 2PbO‚B2O3 at 1043 K. Our results indicate that the spinel-type Al2O3-SiO2 solid solutions with 2-10 wt % SiO2 are always energetically metastable by 30-35 kJ‚m...

Forward osmosis (FO) membrane is a promising technique. However, its application in desalination limited. Thus, we synthesized MIL-53(Fe)@γ-Al2O3 via solvent-thermal method to fabricate MIL-53(Fe)@γ-Al2O3/cellulose acetate (CA) composite membranes of high performance. and MIL-53(Fe) particles were studied using XRD, FITR, SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, AFM. The structural features MIL...

A perovskite-structured barium zirconate, BaZrO3 (BZ), support is demonstrated to enhance the activity, relative to γ-Al2O3, of Co nanoparticle catalysts decorated with Pt for CO2 methanation. The CO2 methanation reaction may play a central role in both CO2 utilization and energy storage strategies for renewable energy. These catalysts require cooperative hydrogen transport between the supporte...

in this paper, overall heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of water based γ-al2o3 nanofluid in a double tube counter flow heat exchanger have been measured experimentally under turbulent flow condition. for better dispersion of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles in distilled water, magnetic stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator (with a power of 240 kw and frequency of 35 khz) were implemented. the stabi...
