Polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membranes ( n-PAN-FMs) with different fibre diameters were prepared using electrospinning process and modified with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The modified n-PAN-FMs were further coordinated with Fe3+ ions to produce a series of the modified n-PAN-FMs Fe complexes, and the catalytic activity of which was investigated as the heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the dye degradation. The effect of fibre diameter on modification and coordination of n-PAN-FMs as well as the catalytic activity of the resulting complexes was also examined. The results indicated that increasing fibre diameter proportionally enhanced the amidoximation degree of n-PAN-FMs. The modified n-PAN-FMs consisting of small fibre diameters easily coordinated with Fe3+ ions, especially at high temperature to form the complex with high Fe content at the same conditions. Besides, these complexes exhibited the catalytic performance for the dye degradation in the dark and under visible irradiation at a wide pH range. The complex with middle fibre diameter showed a stronger catalytic performance than the complexes with much bigger or smaller fibre diameter due mainly to its large specific surface area and the proper size pores among fibres as well as better water affinity.

Catalysts based on zirconia- and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (15 wt % W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 wt % Pt) were selected to study the influence of the reduction temperature and the nature of the support on the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. The reduction temperature has a major influence on metal dispersion, which impacts the catalytic activity. In addition, alumina and zirconia supports show different catalytic properties (mainly acid site strength and surface area), which play an important role in the conversion. The NH3-TPD profiles indicate that the acidity in alumina-based catalysts is clearly higher than that in their zirconia counterparts; this acidity can be attributed to a stronger interaction of the WOx species with alumina. The PtW/Al catalyst was found to exhibit the best catalytic performance for the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane based on its higher acidity, which was ascribed to its larger surface area relative to that of its zirconia counterparts. The selectivity for different hydrocarbons (C7–10, C11 and i-C12) was very similar for all the catalysts studied, with branched C12 hydrocarbons being the main products obtained (~80%). The temperature of 350 °C was clearly the best reduction temperature for all the catalysts studied in a trickled-bed-mode reactor.

AbstractZeolite morphology is crucial in determining their catalytic activity, selectivity and stability, but quantitative descriptors of such a morphology effect are challenging to define. Here we introduce a descriptor that accounts for the morphology effect in the catalytic performances of H-ZSM-5 zeolite for C4 olefin catalytic cracking. A series of H-ZSM-5 zeolites with similar sheet-like morphology but different c-axis lengths were synthesized. We found that the catalytic activity and stability is improved in samples with longer c-axis. Combining time-resolved in-situ FT-IR spectroscopy with molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the difference in catalytic performance can be attributed to the anisotropy of the intracrystalline diffusive propensity of the olefins in different channels. Our descriptor offers mechanistic insight for the design of highly effective zeolite catalysts for olefin cracking.

Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 was investigated in a fixed bed reactor for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) process. Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 was prepared by modified co-precipitation, followed by the hydrothermal method. The active metal Co was loaded via the wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, and FTIR. The performance of Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 for the DRM process was investigated in a reactor with a temperature of 750 °C, a feed ratio (CO2/CH4) of 1, a catalyst loading of 0.5 g, and a feed flow rate of 20 mL min−1. The effect of support interaction with metal and the composite were studied for catalytic activity, the composite showing significantly improved results. Moreover, among the tested Co loadings, 5 wt% Co over the TiO2–MgAl2O4 composite shows the best catalytic performance. The 5%Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 improved the CH4 and CO2 conversion by up to 70% and 80%, respectively, while the selectivity of H2 and CO improved to 43% and 46.5%, respectively. The achieved H2/CO ratio of 0.9 was due to the excess amount of CO produced because of the higher conversion rate of CO2 and the surface carbon reaction with oxygen species. Furthermore, in a time on stream (TOS) test, the catalyst exhibited 75 h of stability with significant catalytic activity. Catalyst potential lies in catalyst stability and performance results, thus encouraging the further investigation and use of the catalyst for the long-run DRM process.

The effects of modifying the composition of LaCoO3 on the catalytic activity are predicted by density functional calculations. Partially replacing La by Sr ions has benefical effects, causing a lowering of the formation energy of O vacancies. In contrast to that, doping at the Co site is less effective, as only 3d impurities heavier than Co are able to stabilize vacancies at high concentrations. The comparison of the energy profiles for CO oxidation of undoped and of Ni-, Cu-m and Zn-doped (La,Sr)CoO3(100) surface shows that Cu is most effective. However, the effects are less spectacular than in the SrTiO3 case, due to the different energetics for the formation of oxygen vacancies in the two hosts.
