In this work we perform a theoretical study of dehydrogenation process of CH4 on O2– in both molecular and dissociative states - previously adsorbed on Cr2O3(0001). Calculations are based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results show the methanol formation form the adsorption of CH4 on O2 in dissociative state with a formationenergy5:14 eV. Also formaldehyde was formed by the reaction of CH2with molecular O2(Eads=6:09 eV) and dioxymethylene by the reaction of CH2with O2 previously adsorbed in dissociative state on Cr2O3(0001), withEads=8:17 eV. Finally, the vibrational modes found by DFT for each of the species were compared, which are in good agreement with those of reference bibliography. This allows us to support the values found both by technical calculations and by experimental methods.

Atrazine (A) is one of the most applied herbicides and has a negative impact on the environment and health. Density functional theory (DFT) and experimental methods were used in the study of the immobilization of atrazine in two smectites, montmorillonite (Mt) and beidellite (Bd), as well as in their organically modified structures. Four systems were examined: A-Mt and A-Bd, as well as the structures modified by tetramethylphosphonium cation (TMP), A-TMP-Mt and A-TMP-Bd. The calculations revealed a flat arrangement of the atrazine in the interlayer space of both smectites with higher stability of beidellite structures. The presence of the TMP cation increased the fixation of atrazine in both organically modified smectites. The calculated vibrational spectra allowed a detailed analysis of the overlapping bands observed in the experimental FTIR spectra and their correct assignment. Further, selected FTIR bands unambiguously assigned to atrazine and both smectites served for the estimation of the adsorbed amount of atrazine. It was shown that the adsorption capacity of both TMP-modified smectites did not increase in comparison to the adsorption capacity of unmodified smectite samples.
