A simple and efficient protocol for fabrication of colloidal hollow Ag nanospheres of size less than 30 nm using a triblock copolymer in the absence of any reducing agent is reported, which showed excellent catalytic activity in the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation reaction.

AbstractCeO2, V2O5 and CeVO4 were synthesised as bulk oxides, or deposited over activated carbon, characterized by XRD, HRTEM, CO2-TPO, C3H8-TPR, DRIFTS and Raman techniques and tested in propane oxidative dehydrogenation using CO2. Complete oxidation of propane to CO and CO2 is favoured by lattice oxygen of CeO2. The temperature programmed experiments show the ~ 4 nm AC supported CeO2 crystallites become more susceptible to reduction by propane, but less prone to re-oxidation with CO2 compared to bulk CeO2. Catalytic activity of CeVO4/AC catalysts requires a 1–2 nm amorphous CeVO4 layer. During reaction, the amorphous CeVO4 layer crystallises and several atomic layers of carbon cover the CeVO4 surface, resulting in deactivation. During reaction, V2O5 is irreversibly reduced to V2O3. The lattice oxygen in bulk V2O5 favours catalytic activity and propene selectivity. Bulk V2O3 promotes only propane cracking with no propene selectivity. In VOx/AC materials, vanadium carbide is the catalytically active phase. Propane dehydrogenation over VC proceeds via chemisorbed oxygen species originating from the dissociated CO2.

The role of Drag Reducing Agents (DRA) at Lakehead Pipe Line (LPL) has expanded considerably in recent years. It is now a multi-purpose tool that helps manage electric power usage as well as having traditional capacity increase uses. Indeed, DRA is now an important part of operating the LPL system. This paper examines the multiple uses of DRA as used by LPL. It also describes the structure of the DRA program within the company and provides a summary of “lessons learned” since the DRA program started at LPL in 1991. This information should be useful for anyone who is considering implementing a DRA program.

The preparation of supported Pd nanoparticles on porous materials was successfully achieved using a simple, fast and efficient reactive milling (mechanochemical) method. The catalytic activity of different Pd/Al-SBA-15 and Pd/Al-MCF materials was investigated in the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) to p-aminophenol (PAP) using NaBH4 as a reducing agent.
