MgAl2O4-supported Ni materials are highly active and cost-effective CO2 conversion catalysts, yet their oxidation by remains dubious. Herein, NiO/MgAl2O4, prepared via colloidal synthesis (10 wt % Ni) to limit size distribution, or wet impregnation (5, 10, 20, 40 Ni), bare, i.e., unsupported, NiO examined in H2 reduction oxidation, using thermal conductivity detector-based measurements situ quick X-ray absorption spectroscopy, analyzed multivariate curve resolution-alternating least-squares....
Modulation excitation (ME) with phase-sensitive detection (PSD) is an emerging strategy to selectively characterize catalytic species that actively participate in a chemical reaction. The commonly applied square-wave (SW) modulations, however, contain limited frequency content, impeding rigorous kinetic analysis of short-lived reaction intermediates through PSD by considering higher-order harmonics. To overcome this bottleneck, "modulation engineering" approach designed, whereby stimulation...
Fe and Ni K edge CO2/H2 modulation excitation X-ray absorption spectroscopy (MEXAS) was performed to gain insights into the redox behavior of species within activated, i.e., reduced, Ni/MgFeAlO4. These results are compared with those "monometallic" Ni/MgAl2O4 MgFeAlO4. Concurrent phase-sensitive detection (PSD) analysis kinetic differentiation demodulated MEXAS data, obtained after exposure activated catalyst CO2, evidence oxidation before Ni. oxidizes FeOx, which interacts Mg from support...
The high gas–solid slip velocity and the resulting intensified heat mass transfer make vortex reactors (GSVR) a promising reactor technology for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). short gas residence time solid in GSVR require highly active catalyst with strong attrition resistance. Conventional Sr/La2O3 catalysts possess sufficient activity; however, these materials lack mechanical strength. In this study, novel mechanically is developed by supporting conventional OCM on porous SiC...

It found that cation‐oxygen pairs, Brønsted OH group coordinated with one Lanthanide cation,...
Abstract Given its role as a primary side product and potential soft oxidant in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM), understanding effect CO 2 co‐feeding on OCM emerges key milestone to optimize process. To grasp molecular impact , mechanistic investigation over La‐Sr/CaO catalyst was carried out via microkinetic modeling. Seven descriptors with precise physico‐chemical meaning were regressed for both pure O order assess eventual structural changes induced by presence feed. Global...
Abstract The combined use of O 2 and CO as oxidizing agents in the oxidative coupling methane (OCM) has been assessed over two representative OCM catalysts, i. e., La−Sr/CaO NaMnW/SiO , under a wide range inlet concentrations. overall impact was found to depend on operating conditions catalyst used. At ‐rich conditions, negative effect observed C selectivity. ‐lean positive both catalysts observed, likely originating from an enhanced dehydrogenation H 6 4 limited deep oxidation involving...
Designing an active, selective, and stable catalyst for catalytic polyolefin pyrolysis is crucial enhancing energy efficiency economic viability in chemical processes.
