the monolithic catalytic converter is still the main pollution control device for modern vehicles in order to reach the ever-increasing legislative demands for low emission standards. the catalytic converters require a large expansion from the exhaust pipe to the front face of the monolith. unfortunately, packaging constraints often do not permit the use of long diffusers. hence, flow separatio...

Doping activated carbon biocathodes with nickel improves microbial electrosynthesis due to both electrocatalytic (hydrogen production) and non-catalytic effects.

Steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as LPG and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. In this study, the LPG steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (H-Y, Na-Y, HZSM5 and Ferrierite). The catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...

Abstract In this study , palladium nano-particles were electro deposited galvano - statically on carbon black powder (Vulcan XC -72R). The catalytic activity for electro - oxidation of ethanol and methanol in alkaline media were studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry techniques. The results indicated that the electro-oxidation of ethanol and methanol strongly depends o...

background: toluene is a volatile organic compound, one of 189 hazardous air pollutants (hap s ) and the most important pollutant found in most industries and indoor environments; owing to its adverse health, toluene must be treated before being released into the environment. methods : in this research study, a continuous-flow system (including an air compressor, silica gel filters and activate...

we have used tungestophosphoric acid to catalyze oxidative amidation reaction from benzyl alcohols and methylarens with hydrochloride salts of amines. to achieve this purpose, modified magnetic nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@sio2@h3pw12o40) were applied as catalyst and tbhp as external oxidant. after optimizing, different derivates of benzamides were synthesized in good yields. also, the result of two ...

introduction: dye removal from industrial wastewater has been considered as one of the most environmental issues. recently, new methods of treatment such as catalytic ozonation have been used to increase dye removal efficiency. so, the efficiency of catalytic ozonation by copper coated zeolite as a catalyst in the removal of reactive red 198 was investigated. materials & methods: in order to re...

a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determinationof vanadium (iv). the method is based on the catalytic effect of v (iv) on the oxidation of alkali blue bypotassium bromate at ph 4. the rate of decrease in the absorbance of alkali blue (at 572 nm) wasproportional to the concentration of v (iv) in the range of 100-6000 ng ml-1. the detection limit wa...

the waste tyres represent a source of energy and valuable hydrocarbon products. waste tyres were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. the effects of basic catalysts (mgo and caco3) were studied on the pyrolysis products. the distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with mgo and caco3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % respectively at 350°c for 2...
