Global warming and fossil fuel depletion have boosted the search for alternative renewable fuels with a low environmental impact. Biodiesel exhibits many advantages over conventional diesel including possibility of being produced from sources such as waste oils fats. Specifically, animal fats are receiving increased attention an to vegetable biodiesel production. This low-cost feedstock allows mitigation pollution can also improve features by increasing cetane number enhancing oxidative...
Mesopore-modified mordenite zeolitic materials with different Si/Al ratios have been prepared and tested in the biomass pyrolysis catalytic cracking of vacuum gasoil. Alkaline treatment was carried out to generate mesoporosity. Severity alkaline found be paramount importance tune generated mesoporosity, while it significantly affected crystallinity treated mordenites. It moreover observed that selectively extracted Si decreasing ratio samples. Catalytic activity parent mordenites studied...
Zeolites have been shown to be useful catalysts in a large variety of reactions, from acid base and redox catalysis. The particular properties these materials (high surface area, uniform porosity, interconnected pore/channel system, accessible pore volume, high adsorption capacity, ion-exchange ability, shape/size selectivity) provide crucial features as effective supports. Currently, new applications are being developed the considerable existing knowledge about important remarkable...
The urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions requires the development of efficient catalysts for conversion into chemicals and fuels. In this study, a series nickel supported on ITQ-2 ZSM-5 zeolites have been prepared, characterized tested in hydrogenation reaction towards methane. Specifically, two ZSM 5 with different aluminum content studied. For both types, higher Si/Al ratio material, more active catalyst due probably its hydrophobicity. largest difference was found samples, being sample...
The efficient operation of vanadium redox flow batteries requires the half cell specific monitoring state charge (SOC). Monitoring SOC is affected by temperature fluctuations, which need to be distinguished from signal. Several approaches have been proposed in literature and either evaluated individually or compared one other approach. aim this study contribute sensor development for VRFB providing a first correlated assessment several established new methods. We perform multi observable...
The dynamics and stoichiometry of thiophene adsorption rearrangements thiophene-derived adsorbed species in O(2), He, H(2), C(3)H(8) carriers were measured using chromatographic methods mass spectrometry on H-ZSM5 H-Y zeolites. Thiophene obeyed Langmuir isotherms both Adsorption uptakes 1.7 2.8 thiophene/Al at 363 K zeolites, respectively, after removal physisorbed thiophene. These stoichiometries differed for these two zeolite structures but did not depend their Al content (Si/Al = 13-85)....
Rates and selectivities for the oxidation of various organosulfur compounds with tert-butyl hydroperoxide were measured on CoAPO-5 (APO = aluminophosphate; Co/P 0.05), Co/H-Y (Co/Al 0.15), MoO(x)/Al2O3 (15 % wt MoO3). increased increasing electron density at sulfur atom (methyl phenyl sulfide>diphenyl sulfide>4-methyldibenzothiophene>2,5-dimethyl thiophene). (per metal atom) significantly higher than Co/H-Y, MoO(x)/Al2O3, or homogeneous Co acetate catalysts. Small amounts sulfoxides...
