Photo-degradation of butyl parahydroxybenzoate by using TiO<sub>2</sub>-supported catalyst

Photo-degradation of butyl parahydroxybenzoate by using TiO₂-supported catalyst

The present work evaluates the potential of the photocatalysis (PC) process for the degradation of butylparaben (BPB). Relatively high treatment efficiency was achieved by comparison to photochemical process.

Global harmonization — A catalyst for safety

The majority of employers in the United States would not argue the point that the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) has cost their company an incredible amount of time, money, and grief since its inception. Though it is a great concept, I question whether the HCS, even after more than 20 years in existence, has produced more than a few positive results in the eyes of most employers and ...

Effect of support and second metal in catalytic <italic>in-situ</italic> generation of hydrogen peroxide by Pd-supported catalysts: application in the removal of organic pollutants by means of the Fenton process

Effect of support and second metal in catalytic in-situ generation of hydrogen peroxide by Pd-supported catalysts: application in the removal of organic pollutants by means of the Fenton process

A catalytic system for the generation of H2O2 from formic acid and oxygen at ambient conditions has been developed. Pd-supported catalysts (Pd/C, Pd/TiO2 and Pd/Al2O3) have been tested, showing that for bulk purposes Pd/Al2O3 is more favourable while for in-situ applications Pd/TiO2 seems to be preferable. However, when these catalysts were tested in the in-situ H2O2 generation ...

Performance improvement of TiO2 supported on adsorbents for photocatalytic degradation of MEK in air

Photocatalytic degradation of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) was carried out in gas phase using TiO2 supported on different adsorbents. Based on size and surface area, three different adsorbents, montmorillonite, β-zeolite and MCM-41 were tested. A fluidised bed annular photoreactor fitted with either 254 or 365 nm lamps was used for the photodegradation studies. The removal rates of MEK were higher ...

Industrial and agroindustrial wastes: an echotechnological approach to the production of supported photocatalysts

Agroindustrial wastes (rice husk, exhausted bark acacia, and tobacco dust) and foundry sands from the iron foundry industry were employed as a support source for photocatalysts. TiCl4 was used as the titanium precursor in the preparation of the supported photocatalysts. The solids were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), diffuse ...

Activities of different metal oxide catalysts on NO reduction and CO oxidation

A series of transition metal oxide catalysts (Zn, Ti, Cu, Ni, Fe and V) supported on Al2O3 and SiO2 were prepared using the incipient wetness impregnation method. Their performances on NO reduction and CO oxidation followed the sequence of TiO2 > CuO/ZnO > CuO > ZnO. TiO2 supported on SiO2 was more active than that on Al2O3, while ZnO had the opposite performances. The activities of CuO/Al2O3 and ...

A study on physico–chemical properties and activity of Co–based catalysts supported on SBA–15 in the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis

Cobalt catalysts supported on SBA–15 and SBA–15, modified by trimethylbenzene (TMB) were prepared from cobalt nitrate and cobalt acetate. Physico–chemical characteristics and activity of the obtained catalysts in Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis at 0.7 MPa were investigated. The results indicate that the use of TMB led to a widening the pores of SBA–15, improving the dispersity of cobalt oxide particles ...

Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of p-nitrophenol by Fe (III) supported on resin

FeIII supported on resin (FeIII-resin) as an effective catalyst for peroxide oxidation was prepared and applied for the degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP). Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) experiments with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant were performed in a batch rector with p-nitrophenol as the model pollutant. Under given conditions (PNP concentration 500 mg/L, H2O2 0.1 M, ...

Catalytic activity and stability of silver supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Catalytic activity and stability of silver supported on functionalised multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Ag–f–MWCNTs) is investigated. NaBH4 reduction of organic dyes, viz. rhodamine 6G (R6G) and orange G (OG) was used as model reaction. Rate of reduction of dyes was found to be greatly enhanced in presence of Ag–f–MWCNTs, and proportional to the amount of ...

Oxidation of cosmetic wastewaters with H2O2 using a Fe/γ-Al2O3 catalyst

A catalyst based on Fe supported on γ-Al2O3 has been prepared and tested for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of cosmetic wastewaters. The influence of the main operating conditions (space-time, temperature, and H2O2 dose) have been investigated.
