A Hybrid FCC/HZSM-5 Catalyst for the Catalytic Cracking of a VGO/Bio-Oil Blend in FCC Conditions
(MDPI, 2020)
The performance of a commercial FCC catalyst (designated as CY) and a physically mixed hybrid catalyst (80 wt.% CY and 20 wt.% HZSM-5-based catalyst, designated as CH) have been compared in the catalytic cracking of a ...
Catalysts for Syngas Production
(MDPI, 2020-01-20)
Synthesis gas (or syngas) is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, that may be obtained from alternative sources to oil, such as natural gas, coal, biomass, organic wastes, etc [...]
Half-Hedgehog Spin Textures in sub-100 nm Soft Magnetic Nanodots
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-09-28)
Topologically non-trivial structures such as magnetic skyrmions are nanometric spin textures of outstanding potential for spintronic applications due to their unique features. It is well known that Neel skyrmions of definite ...
Reduced Graphene Oxide/Polymer Monolithic Materials for Selective CO2 Capture
(MDPI, 2020-04-17)
Polymer composite materials with hierarchical porous structure have been advancing in many different application fields due to excellent physico-chemical properties. However, their synthesis continues to be a highly ...
Perovskite-Based Catalysts as Efficient, Durable, and Economical NOx Storage and Reduction Systems
(MDPI, 2020-02-09)
Diesel engines operate under net oxidizing environment favoring lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than stoichiometric gasoline engines. However, NOx reduction and soot removal is still a technological challenge under ...
Heterogeneous Catalytic Ozonation of Aniline-Contaminated Waters: A Three-Phase Modelling Approach Using TiO2/GAC
(MDPI, 2020-12-08)
This work aims to study the sustainable catalytic ozonation of aniline promoted by granular active carbon (GAC) doped with TiO2. Aniline was selected as a model compound for the accelerator manufacturing industries used ...
Comparative Study of Strategies for Enhancing the Performance of Co3O4/Al2O3 Catalysts for Lean Methane Combustion
(MDPI, 2020-07-08)
Spinel-type cobalt oxide is a highly active catalyst for oxidation reactions owing to its remarkable redox properties, although it generally exhibits poor mechanical, textural and structural properties. Supporting this ...
Particle emission measurements in three scenarios of mechanical degradation of polypropylene-nanoclay nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Researchers and legislators have both claimed the necessity to standardize the exposure assessment of polymer nanocomposites throughout their life cycle. In the present study we have developed and compared three different ...
Dynamics of carbon formation during the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of raw bio-oil
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-01)
The formation, growth and transformation of the carbon residue (coke) deposited on the catalyst during the raw bio-oil hydrodeoxygenation have been studied. These deposits have a great impact on the overall process ...
Bimetallic Pt-Co Catalysts for the Liquid-Phase WGS
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
[EN] Bimetallic Pt-Co catalysts derived from cobalt aluminate spinel were investigated in the
liquid-phase water–gas shift (WGS) reaction and CO hydrogenation. Liquid-phase WGS is a key
reaction in the aqueous-phase ...
