Conversion of NO in NO/N2, NO/O2/N2, NO/C2H4/N2 and NO/C2H4/O2/N2 Systems by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasmas

An experimental study on the conversion of NO in the NO/N₂, NO/O₂/N₂, NO/C₂H₄/N₂ and NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ systems has been carried out using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas at atmospheric pressure. In the NO/N₂ system, NO decomposition to N₂ and O₂ is the dominating reaction; NO conversion to NO₂ is less significant. O₂ produced from NO decomposition was detected by an on-line mass spectrometer. With the increase of NO initial concentration, the concentration of O₂ produced decreases at 298 K, but slightly increases at 523 K. In the NO/O₂/N₂ system, NO is mainly oxidized to NO₂, but NO conversion becomes very low at 523 K and over 1.6% of O₂. In the NO/C₂H₄/N₂ system, NO is reduced to N₂ with about the same NO conversion as that in the NO/N₂ system but without NO₂ formation. In the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system, the oxidation of NO to NO₂ is dramatically promoted. At 523 K, with the increase of the energy density, NO conversion increases rapidly first, and then almost stabilizes at 93–91% of NO conversion with 61–55% of NO₂ selectivity in the energy density range of 317–550 J L⁻¹. It finally decreases gradually at high energy density. A negligible amount of N₂O is formed in the above four systems. Of the four systems studied, NO conversion and NO₂ selectivity of the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system are the highest, and NO/O₂/C₂H₄/N₂ system has the lowest electrical energy consumption per NO molecule converted.     

Observation conditions and thermal stability of O2? on SnO2

A sharp change in the relaxational characteristics of O ₂ ^– anion radicals on SnO₂ is observed under physical adsorption of O₂ molecules in an amount less than 10¹⁶ m^–3. The thermal stability of sites for O ₂ ^– stabilization on SnO₂ is analyzed. Molecular oxygen, forming O₂, is shown to desorb with increasing temperature without participating in reoxidation of the oxide.

The influence of the orientation of the NO molecule upon the chemiluminescent reaction NO+O3→NO2*+O2

A beam of state-selected NO molecules (J = Ω = $\text{3}\text{2}$) has been produced by an electrostatic hexapole and has been collided with O₃ molecules in a scattering chamber. The E-field dependence of the chemiluminescent cross section, σ_hr, has been investigated and resulted in the determination of the M-dependence of σ_hr: σ_hr (M)/σ₀ = 1.192±0.009, 0.0848±0.015, 1.177±0.015, 0.783±0.009 for M = $\text{3}\text{2}$, $\text{1}\text{2}$, $\text{?1}\text{2}$ and $\text{?3}\text{2}$, respectively. Application of the Legendre expansion technique and the density matrix formalism provided a deconvoluted σ_hr(γ), for a single angle of attack γ of the NO axis, expressed in simple model functions with adjustable parameters. From this analysis it is concluded that chemiluminescence only occurs when cos γ ≈ 1, the “end-on-head” orientation of NO yielding ≈ 30% of all collected light, and when cos γ ≈ ?0.275, the “broad-side-tail” orientation of NO yielding the remaining 70%. The steric factors belonging to these reactive orientations have been estimated and are S₁ = 0.25±0.07 and S₂ = 0.40±0.09, respectively. The observed dependence of σ_hr has been confronted with the rules of Woodward and Hoffman. Although there are indeed two symmetries (bpl and cpl) correlating the electron orbitals of the reactants and the products, these rules do not lead to an explanation of the steric effects of the NO+O₃ reaction.

Infrared studies of the diatomic molecules O2, N2, NO and H2 adsorbed on Fe2O3

An infrared spectroscopic study of the diatomic molecules O₂, N₂, NO and H₂ adsorbed under different conditions on Fe₂O₃ has been performed.Complex patterns of absorption on both α-Fe₂O₃ and γ-Fe₂O₃ activated in O₂ at high temperature are assigned to vibrations of two different chemisorbed O₂ species.N₂ molecules do not interact with “oxygen rich” α-Fe₂O₃ surfaces, but give N₂O^? and N₂O₂^2? species when chemisorbed on evacuated surfaces.NO molecules give complex patterns of absorption, depending on the gas pressure. Three different types of nitrate structures can be identified, as well as NO, NO^? and cis-N₂O₂ chemisorbed species. Chemisorbed water molecules are formed by contact of H₂ with Fe₂O₃ surfaces even at room temperature.     

基于SnO2为修饰层的Au-Pt / SnO2 / Au复合电极研究

用真空镀膜法在Au电极上沉积SnO₂薄膜，在HAuCl₄和H₂PtCl₄的混合溶液中利用直接还原法，将Au-Pt双金属纳米颗粒组装在SnO₂ / Au电极上，得到Au-Pt / SnO₂ / Au复合电极。采用SEM、TEM、XPS及CV曲线测定对Au-Pt / SnO₂ / Au复合电极进行了表征。结果表明:复合电极上双金属纳米颗粒分布均匀，粒子粒径约为25 nm左右。SnO₂作为修饰层以配位键与双金属纳米粒子结合。Au-Pt / SnO₂ / Au复合电极具有良好对甲醇氧化的电化学性能。     

低阶煤半焦利用热重在O2/CO2、O2/N2和O2/Ar气氛下燃烧特性研究

利用热重研究了两种中国西北典型低阶煤半焦的燃烧特性。探究了不同气氛（O₂/CO₂、O₂/N₂和O₂/Ar）和不同氧气浓度对其燃烧特性的影响。实验结果表明,无论是反应气氛还是氧气浓度都会对低阶煤半焦的燃烧产生影响。相比于N₂和Ar,CO₂明显有利于燃烧反应进行：当反应气氛由O₂/CO₂变为O₂/Ar时,两种不同低阶煤半焦的燃尽温度分别升高了63.7和68.8℃;而当反应气氛由O₂/CO₂变为O₂/N₂时,两种不同低阶煤半焦的燃尽温度分别升高了135.9和129.6℃。在研究范围内,氧气浓度的提高也能明显提高半焦的燃烧性能。与此同时,半焦燃烧特性的动力学分析表明,随着氧气浓度提高,两种半焦燃烧反应的表观活化能E和指前因子A均呈增大趋势。通过对E和A两者关系的分析结果表明,半焦富氧燃烧的活化能和指前因子存在动力学补偿效应。     

Vibrational emission of NO2 from the reaction of NO with O3

Vibrational chemiluminescence in the Δν₁ = Δν₃ = ?1 band of NO₂ is observed both in the O + NO and O₃ + NO reactions and shown to be emitted by molecules with up to 11 000 cm^?1 of vibrational energy. Quenching rate constants of NO₂³ are estimated ranging from about 6 × 10^?14 for Ar to about 3 × 10^?12 cm³ s^?1 for NO₂. The ratio of vibrational to electronic emission is 0.06 ± 0.03 for O + NO and 5.3 ± 1.0 for O₃ + NO. It is suggested that vibrationally excited NO₂ is a major product of that channel of the O₃ + NO reaction which forms ground-state NO₂(²A₁) directly.     

Possible production of O2(1Δg) and O2(1Σ+g) in the reaction of NO with O3

High-resolution spectra of the NO₂ continuum emission produced from the reaction NO + O₃ → NO₂ + O₂ have been investigated to detect any possible emission from O₂(¹Δ_g) at 1270 nm or O₂(¹Σ⁺_g) at 762 nm. The photolysis of O₃/O₂ mixtures at 253.7 nm, which produces both states of O₂ with known quantum efficiency, has been used as an internal standard. From the results it is concluded that less than 1/300 and 1/200 of the NO + O₃ reactive collissions result in production of O₂(¹Δ_g) or O₂(¹Σ⁺_g), respectively, at room temperature.     

Kinetics of the reactions of isopropoxy radicals with NO,NO2, and O2

A fluorescence excitation spectrum of (CH₃)₂CHO (isopropoxy radical) is reported following photolysis of isopropyl nitrite at 355 nm. Rate constants for the reaction of isopropoxy with NO, NO₂, and O₂ have been measured as a function of pressure (1–50 Torr) and temperature (25–110°C) by monitoring isopropoxy radical concentrations using laser-induced fluorescence. We have obtained the following Arrhenius expressions for the reaction of isopropoxy with NO and O₂ respectively: (1.22±0.28)×10^?11 exp[(+0.62±0.14 kcal)/RT]cm²/s and (1.51±0.70)×10^?14 exp[(?0.39±0.28)kcal/RT]cm³/s where the uncertainties represent 2σ. The results with NO₂ are more complex, but indicate that reaction with NO₂ proceeds more rapidly than with NO contrary to previous reports. The pressure dependence of the thermal decomposition of the isopropoxy radical was studied at 104 and 133°C over a 300 Torr range using nitrogen as a buffer gas. The reaction is in the fall-off region over the entire range. Upper limits for the reaction of isopropoxy with acetaldehyde, isobutane, ethylene, and trimethyl ethylene are reported.We have performed the first LIF study of the isopropoxy radical. Arrhenius parameters were measured for the reaction of i-PrO with O₂, NO, NO₂, using direct radical measurement techniques. All reactions are in their high-pressure limits at a few Torr of pressure. The rate constant for the reactions of i-PrO with NO and NO₂ reactions exhibit a small negative activation energy. Studies of the i-PrO + NO₂ reaction produce data which indicate that O(³P) reacts rapidly with i-PrO. Unimolecular decomposition studies of i-PrO indicate that the reaction is in the fall-off region between 1 and 300 Torr of N₂ and the high-pressure limit is above 1 atmosphere of N₂.

Selective catalytic oxidation of NO with O2 over Ce-doped MnOx/TiO2 catalysts

A series of Ce-doped MnOx/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and used for catalytic oxidation of NO in the presence of excess O2. The sample with the Ce doping concentration of Ce/Mn=1/3 and calcined at 300°C shows a superior activity for NO oxidation to NO2. On Ce(1)Mn(3)Ti catalyst, 58% NO conversion was obtained at 200°C and 85% NO conversion at 250°C with a GHSV of 41000 h-1, which was much higher than that over MnOx/TiO2 catalyst (48% at 250°C). Characterization results implied that the higher activity of Ce(1)Mn(3)Ti could be attributed to the enrichment of well-dispersed MnOx on the surface and the abundance of Mn3+ and Ti3+ species. The addition of Ce into MnOx/TiO2 could improve oxygen storage capacity and facilitate oxygen mobility of the catalyst as shown by PL and ESR, so that its activity for NO oxidation could be enhanced. The effect of H2O and SO2 on the catalyst activity was also investigated.     

The laser sensitized reaction SF26 + NO + O3

A pulsed CO₂ laser was used to irradiate a rapidly flowing mixture of NO, O₃, and SF₆. When the laser was tuned to an SF₆ absorption line, an increase in the visible NO^*₂ emission was observed. The laser-induced signal has two unusual features. First, the rise time is much longer than is observed when O₃ is excited directly, and, second, the signal decays to a value above the original baseline. The rise rate is attributed to VV energy transfer from SF²₆ to O₃, while the baseline shift is attributed to a temperature jump resulting from rapid non-resonant VV relaxation within the SF₆ molecule. Both the size of the T-jump and the fraction of vibrationally excited ozone molecules vary inversely with NO pressure.     

Oxygen analysis of O2MF6 and O2M2F11 salts

The dioxygenyl salts O₂MF₆ or O₂M₂F₁₁ where M = As, Sb, Bi, Nb, Ta, Ru, Au, and Pt, were hydrolysed aqueous base (40% NaOH) to evaluate their purity and to gain further information about their thermal instability. Compounds containing As, Sb, Bi, Nb and Ta yielded 1.25 moles O₂ per mole of starting material whereas for compounds containing Ru, Au and Pt, 1.5 moles of O₂ per mole of salt was produced. The difference is a consequence of the greater oxidizing power of the RuF^-₆, AuF^-₆ and PtF^-₆ anions. All of the dioxygenyl salts are intrinsically unstable at room temperature in vacuum.     

Effect of CO2 on O2 photo-adsorption on anatase

The presence of CO₂ on TiO₂ affects the process of oxygen photo-adsorption depending on the hydroxylation state of the surface. In dehydroxylated samples CO₂ blocks the formation of O ₃ ^– and O ₂ ^– . On H₂O₂/TiO₂ samples pretreated in the range of 150–200°C it leads to CO₂–O ₂ ^– species.

CH2+O2反应的反应机理

The mechanisms of the CH2＋ O2→ H2O＋ CO and CH2＋ O2→ H2＋ CO2 reactions have been studied by performing ab initio CAS(8,8)/6-31G(d,p) calculations, and five intermediates(IMn) and eight transitions(TSn) have been located along the reaction paths. The predicted path for the CH2＋ O2→ H2O＋ CO is: CH2＋ O2→ TS1→ IM1→ TS2→ IM2→ TS3→ IM3→ TS4→ IM4a→ TS5→ H2O＋ CO. For the CH2＋ O2→ H2＋ CO2 reaction, there are two paths: (i) CH2＋ O2→ TS1→ IM1→ TS2→ IM2→ TS3→ IM3→ TS6→ H2＋ CO2 and (ii) CH2＋ O2→ TS1→ IM1→ TS2→ IM2→ TS3→ IM3→ TS4→ IM4a→ TS7→ IM4b→ TS8→ H2＋ CO2, with the latter path more favorable energetically.     

Growth Mechanism and Characterization of Single-crystalline Ga-doped SnO2 Nanowires and Self-organized SnO2/Ga2O3 Heterogeneous Microcomb Structures

Single-crystalline Ga-doped SnO2 nanowires and SnO2:Ga2O3 heterogeneous microcombs were synthesized by a simple one-step thermal evaporation and condensation method. They were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). FE-SEM images showed that the products consisted of nanowires and microcombs that represent a novel morphology. XRD, SAED and EDS indicated that they were single-crystalline tetragonal SnO2. The influence of experimental conditions on the morphologies of the products is discussed. The morphology of the product showed a ribbon-like stem and nanoribbon array aligned evenly along one or both side of the nanoribbon. It was found that many Ga2O3 nanoparticles deposited on the surface of the microcombs. The major core nanoribbon grew mainly along the 110 direction and the self-organized branching nanoribbons grew epitaxially along 1110 or 1110 orientation from the (110) plane of the stem. A growth process was proposed for interpreting the growth of these remarkable SnO2:Ga2O3 heterogeneous microcombs. Due to the heavy doping of Ga, the emission peak in photoluminescence spectra has red-shifted as well as broadened significantly.     

NO reduction with C3H8 on Co/Al2O3 catalyst. effect of O2 concentration

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by propane in excess oxygen-containing gas mixture was studied on Co/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The oxygen concentration is very important for the reaction. The NO conversion to N₂ without oxygen is 3% at 800 K and when the O₂ concentration is raised up to 8% the NO conversion reaches its maximum value of 60% at 800 K. Characterization results by TPR and UV-Vis spectroscopy show that in the catalyst, species strongly interacting with tetrahedral and octahedral Co²⁺ ions in the support are present.
