A supported ruthenium:manganese bimetallic alloy system dispersed on a high surface area alumina support was prepared by the co-impregnation method. The adsorption of CO at atmospheric pressure was carried out in order to determine the number of active metal sites present. The data indicate that manganese was present as a covering layer on the surface of the ruthenium. With increasing manganese loading decreasing adsorption of CO was observed, indicating that the presence of manganese masked the active ruthenium sites responsible for CO adsorption. No CO adsorption occurred on isolated manganese sites. The data were interpreted in terms of the geometric and possible electronic effects caused by the addition of manganese.

A series of tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40; HPW) loaded on metal oxide catalysts, namely H3PW12O40/M (M= TiO2, CeO2, ZrO2) was prepared by initial wetting impregnation method and their catalytic performances were also investigated during the condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with glycol. Among them, the 20 wt% H3PW12O40/TiO2 catalyst demonstrated highly active with superior acetal yield (90.1 %) and excellent durability. The high activity of the catalyst derived from high surface area, ultra-strong Brand#248;nsted acidity and synergetic effect of Brand#248;nsted-Lewis acid. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the course of the condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with glycol, and the optimal benzaldehyde glycol acetal yield (93.4 %) could be obtained. The optimized yield and the experimental results are similar. Moreover, under optimal reaction conditions, the activation energy (Ea) of reaction could be obtained through the kinetic study of the irreversible parallel reaction model, and the Ea was 23.24 kJ/mol.

A novel plasmonic reactor concept is proposed and tested to work as a visible energy harvesting device while allowing reactions to transform CO2 to be carried out. Particularly the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction has been tested as a means to introduce renewable energy into the economy. The development of the new reactor concept involved the synthesis of a new composite capable of plasmonic activation with light, the development of an impregnation method to create a single catalyst reactor entity, and finally the assembly of a reaction system to test the reaction. The composite developed was based on a Cu/ZnO catalyst dispersed into transparent aerogels. This allows efficient light transmission and a high surface area for the catalyst. An effective yet simple impregnation method was developed that allowed introduction of the composites into glass microchannels. The activation of the reaction was made using LEDs that covered all the sides of the reactor allowing a high power delivery. The results of the reaction show a stable process capable of low temperature transformations.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in adsorbents with high surface area, high porosity, high stability and high selectivity for CO2 adsorption. By the incorporation of the additive on the supports such as zeolite, silica, and carbon, the physicochemical properties of the adsorbent and CO2 adsorption performance can be enhanced. In this review, we focus on the overview of bifunctional materials (BFMs) for CO2 adsorption. The findings of this study suggests that the high surface area and high porosity of the support provide a good medium for high dispersion and accessibility of additives (amine or metal oxide), enhancing the CO2 adsorption efficiency. The excessive additive however may lead to a decrease of CO2 adsorption performance due to pore blockage and the decrease of active sites for CO2 interactions. The synergistic relationship of the supporting material and additive is significant towards the enhancement of CO2 adsorption.

This work deals with the formulation of environmentally friendly, cheap, and readily-available materials for green building applications, providing the function of air purificator by improving the safety and the comfort of an indoor environment. High surface area TiO2–SiO2 samples, prepared by a simple, cost effective, and scalable synthetic approach, proved to be effective in maximizing the properties of each component, i.e., the photocatalytic properties of titania and the high surface area of silica. TiO2 was introduced onto an ordered mesoporous silica Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15), that is featured by interesting insulating features, by using an incipient wetness impregnation method. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated in gas phase oxidation of ethylbenzene, which was selected as model volatile organic compound (VOC) molecule. The morphological, textural and structural features along with the electronic properties, the hydrophilicity and heat capacity of the materials were investigated in depth by scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, N2 physisorption, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis, FT-IR spectroscopies, and modulated DSC (MDSC) dynamic scan. Outstanding performances in the ethylbenzene abatement results are promising for further application in the green building sector.

Highly ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) was fabricated for the adsorption of cobalt from aqueous solutions. With the high surface area of1112.7m2/g and pore size of 17.2 nm, its abundant mesopores were benefit for providing channels for liquid propagate. In order to improve the adsorption properties,CMK-3 was modified by hydroxylation and amination. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can be seen that the amino group was successfully grafted onto the CMK-3 with highly ordered mesoporous structure. The functionalized ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3-EDA) ,CMK-3 and CMK-3-OX were used as absents for the adsorption of Co (II) from aqueous solution. The results showed that CMK-3-EDA were more twice effective in adsorption of Co (II) compared to CMK-3, which indicated that CMK-3-EDA had great potential for the adsorption of Co (II).

The catalytic reforming of methane with carbon dioxide using Pd promoter on 1% Ni/20%TiO2-P25+80%α-Al2O3 was investigated. An experimental study was carried out using the catalyst prepared by impregnation method. The catalysts were dried at 120°C and calcined at 900°C. The reforming reactions were carried out using CO2/CH4/N2 feed ratio of 5/5/1, F/W=44 ml/min.gcat and reaction temperature of 700°C. The effect of nominal load of Pd ranging from 0.0 to 0.48 was studied by evaluating catalyst activity, stability, coke and (H2/CO) ratio. The prepared catalysts were tested in micro reactor at atmospheric pressure. The effluents were analyzed using an online gas chromatography equipped with a thermal conductivity detector. EDS and TGA for the fresh and spent catalysts were evaluated. Results indicate that the addition of small amounts of Pd is preferable in terms of activity and carbon deposition than higher Pd loading. For instance, 0.01%Pd gives a conversion of 78.4 for CH4 and 4.9% deactivation factor. While, 0.48%Pd gives a conversion of 75.6 for CH4 and 29.9% deactivation factor. Thus higher loading of Pd causes the catalyst to show poor performance with lower conversion and higher carbon formations. It can be concluded that Pd promoter has an optimal concentration with respect to the active metal of the catalyst beyond which the performance deteriorates.
