Abstract The N2O formation over the diesel oxidation catalyst supported on microporous TiO2 has been investigated in the presence of the soot to simulate cold start or regeneration condition. The platinum (Pt) catalyst entrapped in micropore was resulted in the increase of the catalytic activity compared to the Pt catalyst supported on alumina. Also, it was shown that the presence of the soot ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bimetallic Pd–Rh catalysts supported on pillared clays have been prepared and tested for aqueous-phase hydrodechlorination (HDC) using 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) as target compound. These bimetallic catalysts combine the higher activity of Rh with the better stability of Pd found in previous works with monometallic catalysts. Different combinations of Pd and Rh amounting to 1 wt% total metal load were ...

Wet chemical method is a relatively simple technique, which has been used for attaching nickel nanoparticles homogeneously on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The MWCNT was synthesised by catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) method. The surface of MWCNT was modified by treating with boiling conc. nitric acid. Carbon nanotubes dispersed in nickel nitrate solution were heat treated ...

These catalysts were prepared by impregnation of MCM-48 with a mixed aqueous solution of copper acetate and zinc acetate. X-ray diffraction, ...
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 Ag–f–MWCNTs used, which indicates the high ...

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 for the oxidation ...
