The importance of the isoelectric point for preparation and characterization functional materials to understand their behavior optimize performance is highlighted, with especial focus on industrial catalysts. In different liquid-phase steps involved in synthesis, knowledge surface charge as a function pH medium fundamental, since it dynamizing agent processes such gelation, peptization, coagulation agglomeration form solid particles. Therefore, zeta potential (ζ) measurements, often based...

The adsorption of refractory sulfur molecule 4,6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) over copper supported on zirconia, using different loadings (2-10% w/w) and a zirconia support with high specific surface area, was studied.The results showed that the capacity 4,6-DMDBT Cu/ZrO 2 increased content, reaching maximum at around 8% Cu (0.58 mmol per gram adsorbent).The characterizations H -TPR, Electrophoretic Migration, XRD demonstrated this loading (8%) also corresponds to dispersion for ZrO...

This study analyses the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of pyridine using a stacked bed catalyst system, composed first hydrogenating Re/γ-Al 2 O 3 or W/γ-Al , over second Ni-Re/γ-Al (HDN bed).Using potentiometric methods, it can be seen that shows higher acidic strength than .The results show activity levels are obtained working with systems compared to separate catalysts.These suggest incorporation beds would favour formation hydrogenated intermediary products, facilitating removal N-containing...
