Influence of the Particle Morphology on the Activity of Nanometer Platinum Aerosol Catalysts

For nanoparticle agglomerates, the catalytic activity may depend strongly on their structure. The influence of different parameters such as agglomerate structure, primary particle temperature history and surface preconditioning on the catalytic activity of nanoparticles was investigated. The fraction of agglomerate surface contributing to the reaction depends on the agglomerate structure and on the velocity of the reaction under investigation. For extremely fast reactions such as the oxidation of hydrogen on Pt nanoparticles, only the outermost surface (exposed surface) contributes substantially to the formation of water. For the system investigated here, the inner surface not substantially contributing to the reaction accounted for at least 70% of the total particle surface as determined from oxygen presaturation experiments of the agglomerate surface. A considerable activity loss of the platinum particles was observed on preheating the nanoparticle agglomerates. The preheating leads to an increase in the nanoparticle size by an order of magnitude due to sintering. It is unclear if this activity reduction is due to changes in the particle surface state or to a real size effect of the nanoparticles.     

Microstructure, bonding strength and thermal shock resistance of ceramic coatings on steels prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation

Ceramic coatings were successfully prepared on steel by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in aluminate electrolyte and silicate electrolyte, respectively. The microstructure of the coatings including surface morphology, phase and element composition were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The bonding strength between the ceramic coating and the substrate was tested using different methods including tensile tests and shearing tests. The thermal shock resistance of the coatings was also evaluated. The results indicated that coatings obtained in both electrolytes were porous and coarse. The average diameters of the pores were below 10 μm. PEO coatings obtained in aluminate electrolyte were composed of Fe₃O₄ and FeAl₂O₄, while those obtained in silicate electrolyte were in a noncrystal state. PEO coatings obtained in aluminate electrolyte showed similar change trend of tensile strength and shearing strength with increasing treating time, namely, a relatively high values with middle time treating and low value with short and long time treating. The best coating was the samples treated with 30 min, whose tensile strength was 20.6 MPa and shearing strength was 16 MPa. The tensile strength and shearing strength of coatings obtained in silicate electrolyte were not strongly influenced by the treating time, the values of which were range in 14 ± 2 MPa and 11 ± 2 MPa, respectively. Coatings obtained in both electrolytes showed the best thermal shock resistance with middle time treating. Coatings obtained in silicate electrolyte show a little better thermal shock resistance than those obtained in aluminate electrolyte.     

Data for scaling-up hydrothermal waste water treatment process

Abstract

Hydrothermal oxidation of wastes is developed as an alternative technique in order to limit the toxic end-product formation, the waste volume and the energy supply. We are now working on the transfer of this technology, and so on the determination of data for scaling-up the hydrothermal oxidation process. The main data concern the knowledge of reactive pathway, the determination of reaction kinetic and thermal parameter. Kinetic and thermal data have been determined for the hydrothermal oxidation of acetic acid as well as the reactive pathway of hydrothermal oxidation of a C, H, O, N compound, the fenuron (C₆H₅-NH-CO-N(CH₃)₂).     

Methane-Derived Carbonates in a Native Sulfur Deposit: Stable Isotope and Trace Element Discriminations Related to the Transformation of Aragonite to Calcite

Abstract

Stable isotope (¹³C, ¹⁸O, ³⁴S) and trace element (Sr²⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ba²⁺, Na⁺) investigations of elemental sulfur, primary calcites and mixtures of aragonite with secondary, post-aragonitic calcite from sulfur-bearing limestones have provided new insights into the geochemistry of the mineral forming environment of the native sulfur deposit at Machów (SE-Poland). The carbon isotopic composition of carbonates (δ¹³C = ?41 to ?47‰ vs. PDB) associated with native sulfur (δ³⁴S = + 10 to + 15‰ vs. V-CDT) relates their formation to the microbiological anaerobic oxidation of methane and the reduction of sulfate derived from Miocene gypsum. From a comparison with experimentally derived fractionation factors the element ratios of the aqueous fluids responsible for carbonate formation are estimated. In agreement with field and laboratory observations, ratios near seawater composition are obtained for primary aragonite, whereas the fluids were relatively enriched in dissolved calcium during the formation of primary and secondary calcites. Based on the oxygen isotope composition of the carbonates (δ¹⁸O = ?3.9 to ?5.9‰ vs. PDB) and a secondary SrSO₄ (δ¹⁸O = + 20‰ vs. SMOW; δ³⁴S = + 59‰ vs. V-CDT), maximum formation temperatures of 35°C (carbonates) and 47°C (celestite) are obtained, in agreement with estimates for West Ukraine sulfur ores. The sulfur isotopic composition of elemental sulfur associated with carbonates points to intense microbial reduction of sulfate derived from Miocene gypsum (δ³⁴S ≈ + 23‰) prior to the re-oxidation of dissolved reduced sulfur species.     

The 2D Rancieite-type manganic acid and its alkali-exchanged derivatives: Part I — Chemical characterization and thermal behavior

The 2D Rancieite type manganic acid was prepared by reduction of KMnO₄ in acidic medium. Its ion exchange behavior allows to prepare alkali derivatives. All compounds were characterized with use of a combination of X-ray diffraction, chemical analyses, TGA, magnetic measurements and spectroscopic techniques. The evolution of their chemical composition versus temperature was studied between 180 and 400 °C. It shows that the dehydration process is partly reversible in these compounds whereas the weak reduction is irreversible. The 2D Rancieite-type manganic acid is readily different from a Birnessite-type phyllomanganate, as shown by several features: the interlayer distance, the ion exchange capacity, the thermal behavior, the interlayer cation content, the manganese average oxidation state, the magnetic behavior and the IR spectrum.     

How photocatalytic activity of the MAO-grown TiO2 nano/micro-porous films is influenced by growth parameters?

Pure titania porous layers consisted of anatase and rutile phases, chemically and structurally suitable for catalytic applications, were grown via micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The effect of applied voltage, process time, and electrolyte concentration on surface structure, chemical composition, and especially photocatalytic activity of the layers was investigated. SEM and AFM studies revealed that pore size and surface roughness of the layers increased with the applied voltage, and the electrolyte concentration. Moreover, the photocatalytic performance of the layers synthesized at medium applied voltages was significantly higher than that of the layers produced at other voltages. About 90% of methylene blue solution was decomposed after 180 min UV-irradiation on the layers produced in an electrolyte with a concentration of 10 g l⁻¹ at the applied voltage of 450 V.     

The effect of resistant starches on fat oxidation in healthy adults as measured by a 13CO2-breath test

A resistant starch (RS) mixture (MIX) consisting of fibre of potatoes (FP) and wrinkled pea starch (WPS), and high amylose maize starch (HAMS) were supplemented in adults to evaluate their effects on fat oxidation by means of a ¹³CO₂-breath test. Sixteen subjects received a regular diet either without or with the supplementation of MIX and HAMS in randomised order. After administration of a [U-¹³C]algal lipid mixture, exhaled air was collected over 14?h in 0.5- and 1-h intervals. The ¹³C abundances were measured by nondispersive infrared spectroscopy. In comparison to the dry run (DR), supplementation with MIX and with HAMS increased the cumulative percentage dose recovery: (DR: 16.7?%, MIX: 16.9?%, HAMS: 18.0?%), but without statistical significance. The colonic degradation of MIX and HAMS to short-chain fatty acids tends to lower the formation of carbohydrate-derived acetyl-CoA and contributes to a postprandial lipid oxidation increase by using fat-derived acetyl-CoA as a compensatory fuel source.     

Effects of duty ratio at low frequency on growth mechanism of micro-plasma oxidation ceramic coatings on Ti alloy

The aim of this work is to study the effects of duty ratio on the growth mechanism of the ceramic coatings on Ti-6Al-4V alloy prepared by pulsed single-polar MPO at 50 Hz in NaAlO₂ solution. The phase composition of the coatings was studied by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology and the element distribution in the coating were examined through scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The thickness of the coatings was measured by eddy current coating thickness gauge. The corrosion resistance of the coated samples was examined by linear sweep voltammetry technique in 3.5% NaCl solution. The changes of the duty ratio (D) of the anode process led to the changes of the mode of the spark discharge during the pulsed single-polar MPO process, which further influenced the structure and the morphology of the ceramic coatings. The coatings prepared at D = 10% were composed of a large amount of Al₂TiO₅ and a little γ-Al₂O₃ while the coatings prepared at D = 45% were mainly composed of α-Al₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃. The coating thickness and the roughness were both increased with the increasing D due to the formation of Al₂O₃. The formation of Al₂TiO₅ resulted from the spark discharge due to the breakdown of the oxide film, while the formation of Al₂O₃ resulted from the spark discharge due to the breakdown of the vapor envelope. The ceramic coatings improved the corrosion resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. And the surface morphology and the coating thickness determined the corrosion resistance of the coated samples prepared at D = 45% was better than that of the coated samples prepared at D = 10%.     

High-pressure laminar flame speeds and kinetic modeling of carbon monoxide/hydrogen combustion

Laminar flame speeds were accurately measured for CO/H₂/air and CO/H₂/O₂/helium mixtures at different equivalence ratios and mixing ratios by the constant-pressure spherical flame technique for pressures up to 40 atmospheres. A kinetic mechanism based on recently published reaction rate constants is presented to model these measured laminar flame speeds as well as a limited set of other experimental data. The reaction rate constant of CO + HO₂ → CO₂ + OH was determined to be k = 1.15 × 10⁵T^2.278 exp(−17.55 kcal/RT) cm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ at 300-2500 K by ab initio calculations. The kinetic model accurately predicts our measured flame speeds and the non-premixed counterflow ignition temperatures determined in our previous study, as well as homogeneous system data from literature, such as concentration profiles from flow reactor and ignition delay time from shock tube experiments.
