Thermal stability of nanocrystalline ε-Fe2O3

Thermal behavior of highly crystalline ε-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles of different apparent crystallite sizes was characterized using thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, and analysis of evolved gas by mass spectrometry. Phase composition of the samples was monitored ex situ by X-ray powder diffraction. The results show that the thermal stability of this metastable iron oxide polymorph decreases with increasing particle size. For the particle diameter of 19(2) nm, the transformation temperature was equal to 794(5) °C, while for 28(2) nm only 755(10) °C. Surface of the nanoparticles contained adsorbed water and carbon dioxide. Elimination of these species proceeds in two steps. Water is removed at temperatures below 200 °C and CO₂ in the temperature range between 200 and 450 °C.

Pd/Ce/γ-Al2O3和Pd/Ce/γ-Al2O3甲醇低温裂解催化剂

Methanol is an alternative fuel for automobiles in the future. Decomposition of methanol by on-board reforming into H2 and CO as the feed for the engine has received increasing attention owing to energy saving and environmentally benign aim[1,2]. To meet the requirements of the process, new catalysts with high activity at low temperatures are indispensable. Several catalytic systems have been evaluated for methanol decomposition, but high reaction temperature and side reactions were always problems[3].

Structural Aspect of a Thermal Activation Effect in the MnO x /γ-Al2O3 System

Solid-phase reactions in the aluminum–manganese oxide system, including the structural mechanism of the thermal activation of catalysts, were studied at temperatures up to 1100°C. It was found that the solid-phase reaction at 900–1000°C occurred via two pathways because of the diffusion of manganese ions to aluminum oxide and aluminum ions to manganese oxide. Nanoheterogeneous state of the active component, which was observed in the range 25–600°C, is the product of incomplete decomposition of the high-temperature aluminum–manganese phase Mn_{2.1 – x} Al_{0.9 + x} O₄ (0 x 0.6) with a cubic spinel structure; this phase was equilibrium at the synthesis temperature but metastable below 650°C.     

Thermal stability and conductivity of hot-pressed Si3N4–graphene composites

This study concerns new Si₃N₄–graphene composites manufactured using the hot-pressing method. Because of future applications of silicon nitride for cutting tools or specific parts of various devices having contact with high temperatures there is a need to find a ceramic composite material with good mechanical and especially thermal properties. Excellent thermal properties in the major directions are characteristic of graphene. In this study, the graphene phase is added to the silicon nitride phase in a quantity of up to 10 mass%, and the materials are sintered under uniaxial pressure. The mixture of AlN and Y₂O₃ is added as sintering activator to the composite matrix. The studies focus on thermal stability of produced composites in argon and air conditions up to the temperature of 1,000 °C. The research also concerns the influence of applied uniaxial pressure during the sintering process on the orientation of graphene nanoparticles in the Si₃N₄ matrix. The study also presents research on anisotropy of thermal diffusivity and following thermal conductivity of ceramic matrix composites versus the increasing graphene quantity. Most of the presented results have not been published in the literature yet.

Preparation and characterization of W/γ-Al2O3 and Pd–W/γ-Al2O3 catalysts from organometallic precursors. The catalytic activity for NO decomposition

The photochemical reaction of W(CO)₆ with triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) in the presence of γ-Al₂O₃ and Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ has been used to prepare W/γ-Al₂O₃ and Pd–W/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts. Adsorbed mono- and disubstituted W species have been identified by FTIR spectroscopy. There is evidence of the adsorption of W(CO)_6−x L_x species on both the alumina and the Pd surface. After thermal decomposition and reduction at 573 K the catalysts have been characterized by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed NH₃, CO and NO. The retention of W and P suppresses the Lewis acidity of the alumina support. On Pd–W/γ-Al₂O₃, the W is present in a partially reduced state in close association with Pd. This interaction modifies the chemisorptive properties of NO relative to those of the monometallic Pd and W catalysts. In line with these observations the Pd–W/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst presents an enhanced activity for NO decomposition at 473 K.

Mobility of benzene in the adsorption layer is restricted compared to the model of ideal dimeric gas. The adsorbed amounts of benzene and chlorobenzene are compared.     

Stereoselective hydrogenation of 2-hexyne on Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

The stereoselective hydrogenation of 2-hexyne in ethanol on Cu/-Al₂O₃ catalysts (1–40 % Cu) at 4–10 atm and 80–120 °C has been studied. The reaction affordscis-2-hexene as the only reaction product in 100 % yield at [Cu] 30 %. For samples with 20 % Cu, hydrogenation proceeds in parallel with absorption of H₂ by the catalyst.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Contact angle and adsorption behavior of carboxylic acids on α-Al2O3 surfaces

There is good correlation of contact angle measurements and contact angles calculated from surfactant adsorption density data for an electrically neutral surface, as reported in a previous paper for the system hematite-aqueous solution-ketone, with surfactant hexadecyl sulfonic acid. The same method is not sufficient when the hematite surface is electrically charged. Data was collected to develop the appropriate form of an electrostatic term for the analysis. Acid-base titration was used to evaluate surface electrical properties versus pH for the hematite used in the study. Surfactant adsorption isotherms were measured at pH of 4.5, 5.5, 6, and 7 to use in developing an equation for effect of surface potential on contact angle. After adding a term for the contribution of the electric field, the contact angles calculated from adsorption data follow the measured contact angles well.     

焙烧温度对CuO/γ-Al2O3和CeO2-CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂NO还原活性的影响

用浸渍法制备了CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂和CeO2改性的CeO2-CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂,考察了焙烧温度对CuO/γ-Al2O3和CeO2-CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂C3H6还原NO反应活性的影响,以及CeO2的添加量对CeO2-CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂C3H6还原NO反应活性的影响。结果表明,在200 ℃～500 ℃的焙烧温度范围内,焙烧温度对CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂的活性影响很小；在500 ℃～800 ℃的焙烧温度范围内,随着焙烧温度的升高CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂的活性急剧下降,由XRD物相测定结果可知,归因于对反应表现惰性的尖晶石CuAl2O4相的生成。当焙烧温度为500 ℃时,CeO2的添加对CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂的活性影响很小；当焙烧温度为800 ℃时,CeO2的添加对CuO/γ-Al2O3催化剂有明显的助催化作用,当Ce和Cu的摩尔比为1∶10时,NO转化率较为理想。     

Hydrodesulfurization catalysts P-Mo-W/γ-Al2O3: Characterization and catalytic activity

Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3-catalyzed highly efficient direct synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines and imines

Versatile syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines by highly efficient direct N‐alkylation of primary and secondary amines with alcohols or by deaminative self‐coupling of primary amines have been successfully realized by means of a heterogeneous bimetallic Pt–Sn/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst (0.5 wt % Pt, Pt/Sn molar ratio=1:3) through a borrowing‐hydrogen strategy. In the presence of oxygen, imines were also efficiently prepared from the tandem reactions of amines with alcohols or between two primary amines. The proposed mechanism reveals that an alcohol or amine substrate is initially dehydrogenated to an aldehyde/ketone or NH‐imine with concomitant formation of a [PtSn] hydride. Condensation of the aldehyde/ketone species or deamination of the NH‐imine intermediate with another molecule of amine forms an N‐substituted imine which is then reduced to a new amine product by the in‐situ generated [PtSn] hydride under a nitrogen atmosphere or remains unchanged as the final product under an oxygen atmosphere. The Pt–Sn/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst can be easily recycled without Pt metal leaching and has exhibited very high catalytic activity toward a wide range of amine and alcohol substrates, which suggests potential for application in the direct production of secondary and tertiary amines and N‐substituted imines.

Study of CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol over Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst

The effect of vanadium addition to CU/γ-Al2O3 catalyst used in the hydrogenation of CO2 to produce methanol was studied. It was found that the catalytic performance of the Cu-based catalyst improved after V addition. The influence of reaction temperature, space velocity and the molar ratio of H2 to CO2 on the performance of 12%Cu-6%V/γ-Al2O3 catalyst were also studied. The results indicated that the best conditions for reaction were as follows: 240℃, 3600 h-1 and a molar ratio of H2 to CO2 of 3:1. The results of XRD and TPR characterization demonstrated that the addition of V enhanced the dispersion of the supported CuO species, which resulted in the enhanced catalytic performance of CU-V/γ-Al2O3 binary catalyst.
