An environmentally friendly method was proposed to prepare mesoporous Mobil Composition of Matter No.48 (MCM-48) using fly ash as the silica source. Silver nanoparticles were infiltrated on MCM-48 facilely by an in situ post-reduction method and evaluated as an effective catalyst for CO oxidation. The as-prepared MCM-48 and Ag/MCM-48 nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption, and TEM. Investigations by means of XPS for Ag/MCM-48 were performed in order to illuminate the surface composition of the samples. Studies revealed the strong influence of the loading of Ag nanoparticles on catalysts in the oxidation of CO. CO conversion values for Ag/MCM-48 of 10% and 100% were achieved at temperatures of 220 °C and 270 °C, respectively, indicating that the Ag-decorated MCM-48 catalyst is extremely active for CO oxidation.

Ceria in nanoscale with different morphologies, rod, tube and cube, were prepared through a hydrothermal process. The structure, morphology and textural properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and isothermal N2 adsorption-desorption. Ceria with different morphologies were evaluated as catalysts for CO oxidation. CeO2 nanorods showed superior activity to the others. When space velocity was 12,000 mL·gcat−1·h−1, the reaction temperature for 90% CO conversion (T90) was 228 °C. The main reason for the high activity was the existence of large amounts of easily reducible oxygen species, with a reduction temperature of 217 °C on the surface of CeO2 nanorods. Another cause was their relatively large surface area.

AbstractThe waste fly ash (FA) material was subjected to chemical treatment with HCl at elevated temperature for a different time to modify its porosity. Modified FA particles with highest surface area and pore volume were further used as a support for TiO2 catalyst during FA/TiO2 nanocomposite preparation. The nanocomposite photocatalysts were obtained by in situ sol–gel synthesis of titanium dioxide in the presence of FA particles. To perform accurate characterization of modified FA and FA/TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalysts, gas adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis and Infrared spectroscopy were used. Efficiency evaluation of the synthesized FA/TiO2 nanocomposites was performed by following the removal of Reactive Red 45 (RR45) azo dye during photocatalytic treatment under the UV-A irradiation. Photocatalysis has been carried out up to five cycles with the same catalysts to investigate their stability and the possible reuse. The FA/TiO2 photocatalyst showed very good photocatalytic activity and stability even after the fifth cycles. The obtained results show that successfully modified waste fly ash can be used as very good TiO2 support.

The large amount of rice produced in Brazil generates a large volume of co-products, such as, Rice Husk (RH) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA). These co-products have amounts of silicon (Si) present in their structure, which can be used to synthesize silica-based materials as zeolites and MCM-type structures. The synthesis of MCM-48 material was carried out at room temperature, using the ionic liquid [C16MI·Cl] as structure-directing agent, depositing the niobium in situ during the synthesis with different molar ratios of Si/Nb (5, 20, 50 and 80). The material obtained was subjected to characterization by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen Adsorption/Desorption isotherms and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results confirm the formation of Nb/MCM-48 materials, in which their properties are consistent with those described in the literature. The deposition of Nb on MCM-48 did not change its structural properties, such as specific surface area and pore distribution for Si/Nb higher than 5. The results obtained demonstrate the success in the synthesis of mesoporous materials Nb/MCM-48 using industrial residues of rice as an alternative source of silicon, and in situ deposition of the niobium metal on the structure.

Produk biogas memiliki spesifikasi yang masih perlu ditingkatkan (mengandung metana, CH4 50-70%, dan karbon dioksida, CO2 30 – 49%), agar dapat bersaing dengan gas alam, yaitu lebih dari 98% metana. Metode pemurnian melalui adsorpsi CO2 paling banyak diterapkan, karena tidak memerlukan biaya tinggi, jika dibandingkan teknologi pemisahan konvensional lain. Tetapi, media adsorben karbon aktif akan mengalami kejenuhan dalam waktu tertentu. Salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk meregenerasi karbon aktif yang jenuh oleh CO2 yaitu dengan peningkatan temperatur melalui metoda termal. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan regenerasi in-situ dengan peningkatan temperatur karbon aktif di dalam kolom adsorpsi-desorpsi, dengan alat dapat mengakomodasi tiga pola operasi, yaitu adsorpsi, regenerasi/desorpsi, dan pengosongan gas. Alat terdiri atas kolom yang dilengkapi perpipaaan, blower pendorong udara, heater dan thermostat untuk pemanas dan pengatur temperatur udara. Hasil uji alat menunjukkan bahwa durasi proses adsorpsi hingga mencapai kejenuhan adalah 30 menit pada siklus pertama dan 40 menit pada siklus kedua. Selanjutnya, durasi proses desorpsi dari siklus pertama hingga ketiga menunjukkan peningkatan linier, dipengaruhi oleh temperatur udara pemanas, dengan penurunan konsentrasi Ca(OH)2 hingga masih menunjukkan tren peningkatan. Setelah dilakukan tiga siklus proses adsorspi-desorpsi didapatkan bahwa performa dari karbon aktif masih belum mengalami penurunan kapasitas.Biogas have certain specifications that need to be improved (contain methane, CH4, 50-70%, and carbon dioxide, CO2, 30-49%), in order to compete with natural gas ( >98% methane). The adsorption of CO2 is the most widely applied to purify biogas since it considered as low cost, in terms of energy supply and raw materials. However, activated carbon adsorbent will be saturated and must be regenerated. One of the methods that can be used to regenerate CO2-saturated activated carbon is using thermal method. In this research, the in-situ regeneration was carried out by increasing temperature of the activated carbon in adsorption-desorption column, which accommodate three operating patterns, namely adsorption, regeneration/desorption, and gas discharge. The tool consists of columns, piping, blower, heater and thermostat for air heating and controlling temperature. The result showed that the saturation time was 30 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively in 1st and 2nd cycle. The duration of the desorption from the 1st to 3rd cycle showed a linear trend, influenced by heating air temperature. And the reduction in Ca(OH)2 concentration still showed increasing trend after three adsorption-desorption cycles carried out, so the performance or adsorption capacity of activated carbon had not yet been decreased.

Fly Ash Utilization

Abstract The fly ash from powerplant can be compared, due to its genesis, chemical and mineralogical composition with the natural volcanic glasses and minerals generated in the process of devitrification in situ. Its quality is comparable to non-metallic alumosilicate raw materials that are commercially used in building and ceramic industry. Two possibilities of fly ash utilization as the most bulk waste produced by anthropogenic activity were examined. The way of fly ashes utilization in the modeling of mixtures for the high refractory mullite corundum materials synthesis was examined. In this experiment 95.5% conversion of the input components of fly ash and Al additive in the ratio 1:1 on the mullite and corundum was obtained.

Sialon Powder

β-Sialon powder was synthesized by in-situ carbothermal reduction-nitridation process, with fly ash and carbon black as raw materials. The influence of raw materials composition on synthesis process was investigated, and the phase composition and microstructure of the synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscope. The carbothermal reduction-nitridation reaction process was also discussed. It was found that increasing carbon content in a sample could promote the decomposition of mullite in fly ash and the formation of β-Sialon. The β-Sialon could be synthesized at 1550°C for 6h by heating the sample with the mass ratio of fly ash to carbon black of 100:56. The β-Sialon as-received in this study existed as granular with an average particle size of about 2μm. The carbothermal reduction-nitridation reaction process consisted of the nitridation processes of mullite, SiO2and Al2O3in fly ash as well as the conversion process of X-Sialon to β-Sialon.

There is a serious need to develop and test new biodegradable packaging which could at least partially replace petroleum-based materials. Therefore, the objective of this work was to examine the influence of the recently developed furcellaran nanocomposite film with silver nanoparticles (obtained by an in situ method) on the quality properties of two cheese varieties: a rennet-curd (gouda) and an acid-curd (quark) cheese. The water content, physicochemical properties, microbiological and organoleptic quality of cheese, and migration of silver nanoparticles were examined. Both the number of Lactococcus and total bacteria count did not differ during storage of gouda regardless of the packaging applied. The number of Lactococcus decreased in analogous quark samples. The use of the film slowed down and inhibited the growth of yeast in gouda and quark, respectively. An inhibitory effect of this film on mold count was also observed; however, only regarding gouda. The level of silver migration was found to be lower in quark than in gouda. The film improved the microbiological quality of cheeses during storage. Consequently, it is worth continuing research for the improvement of this film in order to enable its use in everyday life.
