Hydrogen production has been investigated through the photoreforming of glucose, as model molecule representative for biomass hydrolysis. Different copper- or nickel-loaded titania photocatalysts have been compared. The samples were prepared starting from three titania samples, prepared by precipitation and characterized by pure Anatase with high surface area, or prepared through flame synthesis, i.e., flame pyrolysis and the commercial P25, leading to mixed Rutile and Anatase phases with lower surface area. The metal was added in different loading up to 1 wt % following three procedures that induced different dispersion and reducibility to the catalyst. The highest activity among the bare semiconductors was exhibited by the commercial P25 titania, while the addition of 1 wt % CuO through precipitation with complexes led to the best hydrogen productivity, i.e., 9.7 mol H2/h kgcat. Finally, a basic economic analysis considering only the costs of the catalyst and testing was performed, suggesting CuO promoted samples as promising and almost feasible for this application.

The Ni–49%Cu nano-crystallins alloy showed higher HER activity than electrodeposited Ni because their nano-sized roughness results in a high surface area.

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been successfully synthesized and its surface has been modified/functionalized with CPTMS. The making of pure SBA-15 was operated at an optimized concentration of Pluronic 123 surfactant at 60 mM which yields surface area of 831.996 m2/g determined by BET. The modified SBA-15, SBA-15+CPTMS have a lower surface area in comparison with neat SBA-15. In this study, SBA-15+CPTMS have a surface area of about 711.061 m2/g. This very high surface area was utilized to remove the Pb in industrial wastewater using laboratory made water samples. Despite lower surface area and pore diameter of SBA-15+CPTMS in comparison with pure SBA-15, the effectivity of SBA-15+CPTMS in lead adsorption much higher than mesoporous silica SBA-15 especially at a lower concentration of adsorbents. In this paper, we compared the percentage of Pb removal using mesoporous silica SBA-15 and CPTMS-SBA-15 systems. It was found at a low concentration of adsorbent, CPTMS-SBA-15 yields three times percentage of Pb removal than pure SBA-15. However, at high concentration of adsorbent, CPTMS-SBA-15 percentage of Pb removal is just slightly higher than the pure SBA-15 percentage of Pb removal.

ABSTRACTThe thermolytic decomposition of Mo(CO)6 with hydrogen sulfide or ammonia vapor (in a He carrier stream) at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1100 °C produces high surface area molybdenum sulfides (MoS2 or Mo2S3) or molybdenum carbides (hexagonal Mo2C) and carbonitrides, (hexagonal MoN(C) or cubic Mo2N(C)), respectively. The MoS2 surface areas range from 16.7 to 82.0 m2/g, while the surface areas of molybdenum carbides and carbonitrides vary from 14.9 to 21.1 m2/g. The maximum surface area for MoS2 is achieved at 500 °C and decreases with increasing or decreasing temperature. The surface area of the carbonitrides formed from 300 to 800 °C increases with increasing temperature up to 950 °C, where lower surface area Mo2C is formed. Crystallographically pure hexagonal MoN is prepared by decomposing Mo(CO) 6 in pure ammonia. Fe(CO) 5 decompositions in ammonia produce FexZ (where 5.8≥x≥1.6 and Z=C and N), and in some cases elemental Fe. Hexagonal Fe3 N(C) forms when Fe(CO) 5 is thermolyzed in ammonia from 300 to 600 °C, with surface areas ranging from 9.5 to 13.7 m2/g, whereas orthorhombic Fe3C and cubic Fe are produced at 700, 800, 900 and 1000 °C with surface areas of 6.7, 7.6, 2.2 and 2.0 m2/g, respectively. Within the same phase, the surface areas of the carbonitrides increase with increasing reaction temperature. These iron and molybdenum carbonitrides catalyze the conversion of CO/H2 to alkanes and methanol. Based on preliminary catalytic studies, the highest rate of methane (2850 g/kg/hr at 374 °C) and methanol (440 g/kg/hr at 284 °C) formation was accomplished with an FeMo carbonitride prepared by decomposing Mo(CO)6 and Fe(CO)5 in ammonia at 800 °C.
