Computers can be very helpful to us by performing tasks on our behalf. For example, they are very good at performing calculations, storing information and producing visualisations of objects that do not yet exist as a made artifact. Increasingly, however, a different role is being found for the computer. It is the role of a catalyst, or a stimulant, to our own creative thinking. In such cases t...

monometallic and bimetallic ni and co catalytic nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide (rutile phase) substrate were prepared by wet impregnation method. these nanoparicles were used as catalysts for synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) from acetylene decomposition at 700°c by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ccvd) technique. the nanomaterials (catalyst and cnts) were...

mgcl2/c2h5oh adducts with constant relative ratio of 1/3 were prepared and kept at 120oc for different lengths of times of 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 90,120 and 220 h. then the samples were quenched and analyzed by xrd and bet. no meaningful changes were observed in the specific surface area of the samples, while xrd spectra showed 3 peaks at 2θ<15o for samples kept at 120oc for 5 h. these 3 peaks were...

To discuss the potential role of the support for iridium catalyst, we have proceeded to prepare a series of supported catalysts with the same active phase content, but different silica content, to elucidate the changes in surface structure and the reaction process of hydrous hydrazine decomposition on catalyst. The obtained iridium catalysts contained 20 wt% of nanoparticles dispersed on spheri...

The MIT Lincoln Laboratory IDS evaluation methodology is a practical solution in terms of evaluating the performance of Intrusion Detection Systems, which has contributed tremendously to the research progress in that field. The DARPA IDS evaluation dataset has been criticized and considered by many as a very outdated dataset, unable to accommodate the latest trend in attacks. Then naturally the...

A novel generic method of silica supported catalyst system generation from a fluid state is presented. The technique is based on the combined flow and radiation (such as microwave, thermal or UV) induced co-assembly of the support and catalyst precursors forming nano-reactors, followed by catalyst precursor decomposition. The transformation from the precursor to supported catalyst oxide state c...

The new heterogeneous catalyst based on MoO2(acac)2 immobilized on superparamagnetic nanoparticle functionalized with dendrimer was synthesized. The dendrimer with amine and sulfur functional groups offer proper positions for a strong connection between MoO2(acac)2 and support. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, ICP, TGA, SEM, TEM, and XRD. This catalyst showed hi...

A particular type of mesopore extrudates gamma alumina was prepared; which is used as the catalyst in the heavy oil desulfurization unit. Extrudates gamma-alumina support has been made of the boehmite powder from Nephlinsinite mine ores (Surface Area (S.A.) >200 m2/g, Pore Volume (P.V.) =0.48 cm3/g, Average Pore Diameter (A.P.D.) = 8.10 nm); then, many samples of extru...

surface oxidized carbon vulcane xc-72 is prepared as catalyst support and platinumnanoparticles are chemically anchored onto the modified surface. the nanoparticles of pt weresynthesized by reduction of h2ptcl6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 m buffer solution ofsodium citrate; the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formation ofnanoparticles. the electro-oxidation of ...
