This paper reports the improved efficiency of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) decomposition by combined use of MgO with γ-Al2O3. While a high temperature (>900 °C) was required to achieve 90% conversion during non-catalytic pyrolysis of HFC-134a, 100% conversion of HFC-134a was achieved at 600 °C by the use of γ-Al2O3. Among the three catalysts (γ-Al2O3, MgO, and CaO) tested in this study, γ-Al2O3 showed the highest HFC-134a decomposition efficiency, followed by MgO and CaO, due to its large surface area and large amount of weak acid sites. Also with the longest lifetime among the catalysts, durability in maintaining complete decomposition of HFC-134a was shown in γ-Al2O3. The addition of MgO to γ-Al2O3 was effective in extending the lifetime of γ-Al2O3 due to the efficient interaction between HF and MgO, which can delay the deactivation of γ-Al2O3. Compared to the double bed γ-Al2O3-MgO configuration, the use of a mixed γ-Al2O3-MgO bed extended the catalyst lifetime more effectively.

AbstractMetallic iron (Fe0) has shown outstanding performances for water decontamination and its efficiency has been improved by the presence of sand (Fe0/sand) and manganese oxide (Fe0/MnOx). In this study, a ternary Fe0/MnOx/sand system is characterized for its discoloration efficiency of methylene blue (MB) in quiescent batch studies for 7, 18, 25 and 47 days. The objective was to understand the fundamental mechanisms of water treatment in Fe0/H2O systems using MB as an operational tracer of reactivity. The premise was that, in the short term, both MnO2 and sand delay MB discoloration by avoiding the availability of free iron corrosion products (FeCPs). Results clearly demonstrate no monotonous increase in MB discoloration with increasing contact time. As a rule, the extent of MB discoloration is influenced by the diffusive transport of MB from the solution to the aggregates at the bottom of the vessels (test-tubes). The presence of MnOx and sand enabled the long-term generation of iron hydroxides for MB discoloration by adsorption and co-precipitation. Results clearly reveal the complexity of the Fe0/MnOx/sand system, while establishing that both MnOx and sand improve the efficiency of Fe0/H2O systems in the long-term. This study establishes the mechanisms of the promotion of water decontamination by amending Fe0-based systems with reactive MnOx.

Chlorination batch experiments were conducted in order to estimate the concentration of THM and their formation potential in nitrified and partially nitrified secondary effluent. The role of contact time (up to 2 hours), chlorine dose (3 levels), pH and temperature on the formation of THM was evaluated. THM formation, as measured by individual concentration as well as formation potential, was high for the nitrified secondary effluent, while for the partially nitrified effluent the respective concentrations were low, due to the reaction of chlorine with ammonia to form chloramines. In general, THM concentrations progressively increased as contact time, pH and chlorine dose increased. Increase in temperature (from 15-25°C) showed a rather limited effect. In addition, coagulation tests were applied prior to chlorination of the nitrified effluent for removing organic carbon and thereby controlling the formation of THM. Alum was used as the coagulant in doses varying from 0.1 mM to 2.5 mM. As the coagulant dose increased, the removal of both DOC and absorbance at 254 nm increased, while THM formation decreased. The reduction in THM formation was more pronounced for coagulant doses higher than 1.5 mM.

The catalytic activity of nickel and cobalt phosphides, with a metal loading of 5 wt.%, supported on silica was investigated in the hydrodeoxygenation reaction (HDO) of dibenzofuran (DBF) as a model oxygenated compound at different contact times, H2 pressures and H2/DBF molar ratios.
