Investigation of adsorption behaviors of paraffin waxes on iron, iron oxide, and iron III oxide pipeline's internal surfaces using adsorption locator model

Iron/iron oxide-based nanocomposites were prepared by IR laser sensitized pyrolysis ofFe(CO)5and methyl methacrylate (MMA) mixtures. The morphology of nanopowder analyzed by TEM indicated that mainly core-shell structures were obtained. X-ray diffraction techniques evidence the cores as formed mainly by iron/iron oxide crystalline phases. A partially degraded (carbonized) polymeric matrix is suggested for the coverage of the metallic particles. The nanocomposite structure at the variation of the laser density and of the MMA flow was studied. The new materials prepared as thick films were tested for their potential for acting as gas sensors. The temporal variation of the electrical resistance in presence ofNO2, CO, andCO2, in dry and humid air was recorded. Preliminary results show that the samples obtained at higher laser power density exhibit rather high sensitivity towardsNO2detection andNO2selectivity relatively to CO andCO2. An optimum working temperature of200°Cwas found.

The iron/iron-oxide looping cycle has the potential to produce high purity hydrogen from coal or natural gas without the need for gas phase separation: Hydrogen is produced from steam oxidation of iron or Wustite yielding primarily Magnetite; Magnetite is then reduced back to iron/Wustite using syngas (CO+H2). A system model has been developed to identify favorable operation conditions and process configurations. Process configurations for three distinct temperature ranges, (i) 500–950 K, (ii) 950–1100 K, and (iii) 1100–1200 K have been developed. The energy content of high temperature syngas from conventional coal gasifiers is sufficient to drive the looping process throughout the temperature range considered. Temperatures around 1000 K are advantageous for both the hydrogen production step and the iron oxide reduction step. Simulations of a large number of subsequent cycles indicate that quasi-steady operation is reached after approximately 5 cycles. Comparison of simulations and experiments indicate that the process is currently limited by chemical kinetics at lower temperatures. Therefore, product recirculation should be used for a scaled-up process to increase reactant residence times while maintaining sufficient fluidization velocity.

AbstractThe nanoporous materials prepared from iron-iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles are of great interest due to their enhanced possibilities for distribution in the environment, a high rate of chemical reactivity and also the possibility to enhance environmentally friendly reaction paths. However, production of these nanoparticle porous materials by conventional methods is difficult. Therefore, we use a cluster deposition system, which prepares the iron nanoclusters and iron-iron oxide core shell nanoclusters at room temperature. The nanoporous films are synthesized by using the nanoclusters as building blocks. These films are characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method for surface area determination.

Iron Iron

Granulated iron oxide particles were incompletely reduced to structured particles comprised metallic iron and residual iron oxides. Structured particles were pressed into prismatic compacts and sintered. Some of sintered specimens were subsequently phosphatized and calcined. Specimens with an iron phosphate coating were found stiffer than specimens without coating. In Hanks' solution, a galvanic corrosion was induced by more noble iron oxides coupled to a less noble metallic iron. This could explain higher corrosion potentials and higher rates of iron dissolution in comparison with a pure iron. The coating of specimens with iron phosphates shifted corrosion potentials towards more negative values and slowed down the dissolution of iron. This was most likely caused by a reduction in oxygen flow through the coating to iron-oxide cathodes, which has enhanced the influence of diffusion control on the kinetics of reduction reaction.
