On the oxidative coupling of methane with carbon dioxide over CeO2/ZnO nanocatalysts

The nano-CeO₂/ZnO catalysts were prepared using a novel combination of homogeneous precipitation with micro-emulsion for oxidative coupling of methane with CO₂ as an oxidant. The prepared catalysts were compared with those prepared using the conventional impregnation. The catalysts prepared in two ways were characterized with FTIR, TEM, XRD and CO₂-TPD. The effects of the reaction temperature, the amount of ZnO doped in the catalysts and the average size were investigated. The experimental investigation demonstrated that methane conversion over the nano-CeO₂/ZnO catalysts prepared by the combined technique was higher than that obtained over catalysts prepared by the conventional impregnation. A better low-temperature activity has also been achieved over the nanocatalysts. There was no clear trend between the average size of nano-CeO₂/ZnO catalysts and their catalytic performance but methane conversion increased with increasing fractal dimension of nanocatalysts.

Role of La2O3 in Pd-Supported Catalysts for Methanol Decomposition

Systems of Pd supported on various La₂O₃-modified -Al₂O₃ and CeO₂–Al₂O₃ catalysts were tested for catalytic methanol decomposition and characterized by means of XRD, BET, TPR, H₂-chemisorption and CO–FTIR. The addition of lanthanum significantly improved the selectivity of CO and H₂ for all the catalysts but showed a different influence on the catalytic activity in two systems. Methanol conversion decreased on La₂O₃-modified Pd/-Al₂O₃ catalysts, in line with the reduction of Pd dispersion, while the addition of La₂O₃ improved the dispersion of Pd and reinforced Pd–CeO₂ interaction for La₂O₃-modified Pd/CeO₂–Al₂O₃ catalysts, which resulted in a high production rate of CO and H₂. Thus, a synergistic effect between CeO₂ and La₂O₃ was observed on -Al₂O₃-supported Pd catalyst for methanol decomposition.     

Application of supercritical fluid chromatography in the quantitative analysis of minor components (carotenes,vitamin E,sterols, and squalene) from palm oil

The application of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) coupled with a UV variable-wavelength detector to isolate the minor components (carotenes, vitamin E, sterols, and squalene) in crude palm oil (CPO) and the residual oil from palm-pressed fiber is reported. SFC is a good technique for the isolation and analysis of these compounds from the sources mentioned. The carotenes, vitamin E, sterols, and squalene were isolated in less than 20 min. The individual vitamin E isomers present in palm oil were also isolated into their respective components, α-tocopherol, α-tocotrienol, γ-tocopherol, γ-tocotrienol, and δ-tocotrienol. Calibration of all the minor components of palm as well as the individual components of palm vitamin E was carried out and was found to be comparable to those analyzed by other established analytical methods.     

Fabricating Water-Insoluble Polyelectrolyte into Multilayers with Layer-by-layer Self-assembly

Summary A water insoluble azo-containing polyelectrolyte (PEAPB6P-AC) was successfully fabricated into multilayer films based on the layer-by-layer adsorption technique by using N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the assembling media. The multilayer growth and structure were studied with UV-vis spectroscopy, and the multilayer surface were imaged with Atomic Force Microscopy and compared with that fabricated in water. The results show that assembling PEAPB6P-AC in DMF can effectively eliminate the hydrophobic aggregation of the azo units and consequently results in a much smoother multilayer surface than that fabricated in water. This improvement to the layer-by-layer adsorption technique, which can avoid some major difficulties faced when assembling hydrophobic polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions, seems to be a versatile way to fabricate high quality multilayer films when using the hydrophobic even water-insoluble polyelectrolytes as assembling units.

Catalytic activities and properties of mesoporous sulfated Al2O3–ZrO2

Mesoporous sulfated Al₂O₃–ZrO₂ (MSAZ) catalysts with large surface areas and pore volumes after calcination at high temperature (650 °C) and with higher Al₂O₃ content than 20wt% were successfully prepared from a template of block copolymer (P84). The MSAZ catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ²⁷Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG–DTG), temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH₃-TPD) and infrared spectra (IR) of adsorbed pyridine. It is shown that the resulting mesostructured sulfated Al₂O₃–ZrO₂ samples have a well-developed textural mesoporosity. The number of acid sites present on MSAZ catalysts is higher than that on conventional sulfated zirconia, and the former catalysts are more active than the latter one for various acid-catalyzed reactions.

The effect of Al content on the wettability between liquid iron and MgOAl2O3 binary substrate

In the present study, the wettability between liquid iron with two different Al contents and MgOAl₂O₃ binary substrates was studied in reducing atmosphere. The contact angles between liquid iron with 18?ppm Al and MgO, MgO·Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃ were 133.5°, 113.7°, 126.9° respectively. With the variation of the substrate composition, the contact angles for the intermediate binary phases of the three components (MgO, MgO·Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃) obeyed the Cassie theory. In the experiment using iron with 370?ppm Al, all the contact angles were higher than that using low Al-containing iron. The surface of the iron drop was covered with an oxide layer, which mainly consisted of many small particles. With the variation of the substrate gradually from MgO to Al₂O₃, the composition of the oxide layer changed from MgO·Al₂O₃ to CaOAl₂O₃. The formation of the oxide layer prevented the spreading of liquid iron, leading to the increase of the contact angle.
