The rapid separation and efficient recycling of catalysts after a catalytic reaction are considered important requirements along with the high performances. In this view, although heterogeneous catalysis is generally less if compared to homogeneous type, it preferred since benefits from easy recovery catalyst. Recycling using traditional methods such as extraction, filtration, vacuum distillation, or centrifugation tedious time-consuming. They uneconomic processes and, hence, they cannot be...
"Black mass", namely, the mixture of anodic and cathodic materials arising from mechanical shredding spent Li-ion batteries (LIBs), can be easily converted into an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for selective reductions. Here, we demonstrate a concept showing how LIBs, after appropriate thermal treatments, directly used as catalysts hydrogenation biobased furfural other biomass-derived aldehydes ketones. Yet, approach is general applied to variety substrates under widely different...
In the present work, catalytic behavior of nickel-based catalysts supported on ceria/zirconia, undoped and doped with lanthanum neodymium (3.5Ni/Ce0.8La0.5Nd0.2Zr0.13O2−x), was investigated under different reactions: steam reforming, partial oxidation autothermal reforming fuels (methane, biogas, propane). The properties these were evaluated at a temperature 800 °C, atmospheric pressure, GSHV = 120,000 h−1, using steam/carbon oxygen/carbon ratio, respectively, S/C 2.5 O/C 0.5 and, in case...
Methanation reaction of carbon dioxide is currently envisaged as a facile solution for the storage and transportation low-grade energies, contributing at same time to mitigation CO2 emissions. In this work, nickel catalyst impregnated onto new support, Engelhard Titanium Silicates (ETS), proposed, its catalytic performance was tested toward methanation reaction. Two types ETS material were investigated, ETS-4 ETS-10, that differ from each other in titanium content, with Si/Ti around 2 3% by...
