AbstractThe Cu,Cr-, Zn,Cr- and Cu,Al-layered double hydroxides have been synthesized by the coprecipitation method and characterized by elemental analysis, PXRD, SEM/EDS and BET. The mixed oxide materials obtained upon calcination at 873 K show very high catalytic activity for the combustion of toluene and ethanol. The best sample is derived from the Cu,Cr-LDH precursor with a Cu:Cr ratio of 2, composed of copper oxide and copper chromite. This catalyst gave 50% conversion of toluene and ethanol at temperatures of 45 and 15 K lower, respectively, than the reference commercial catalyst. Catalytic tests with a mechanical mixture of CuO and CuCr2O4 demonstrate that the use of an LDH precursor is essential for optimum results. The importance of the simultaneous presence of both Cu and Cr, the influence of the Cu:Cr ratio on the catalytic activity and the role of the interface boundaries in the CuO-CuCr2O4 mixed oxide system are discussed.

Ni, Co, Mg, and Al mixed-oxide solids, synthesized via the hydrotalcite route, were investigated in previous works toward the dry reforming of methane for hydrogen production. The oxide Co2Ni2Mg2Al2 calcined at 800 °C, Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800, showed the highest catalytic activity in the studied series, which was ascribable to an interaction between Ni and Co, which is optimal for this Co/Ni ratio. In the present study, Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800 was compared to a commercial catalyst widely used in the industry, Ni(50%)/Al2O3, and showed better activity despite its lower number of active sites, as well as lower amounts of carbon on its surface, i.e. less deactivation. In addition to this, Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800 showed stability for 20 h under stream during the dry reforming of methane. This good durability is attributed to a periodic cycle of carbon deposition and removal as well as to the strong interaction between Ni and Co, preventing the deactivation of the catalyst. The evaluation of the catalytic performances in the presence of toluene, which is an impurity that exists in biogas, is also a part of this work. In the presence of toluene, the catalytic activity of Co2Ni2Mg2Al2800 decreases, and higher carbon formation on the catalyst surface is detected. Toluene adsorption on catalytic sites, side reactions performed by toluene, and the competition between toluene and methane in the reaction with carbon dioxide are the main reasons for such results.

A Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode showed good performance for solid oxide fuel cell reactions with dry CH4. Compositions of Pd and Ni in the Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode affected the electrochemical oxidation catalysis of dry CH4. The Pd and Ni ratios from 50:50 to 75:25 were suitable for the oxidation. The Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode showed the high tolerance to the carbon deposition under closed and open circuit conditions. A Pd-Ni/Ce(Sm)O2 catalyst showed very low catalytic activity for decomposition of dry CH4. A Pd-Ni/SiO2 catalyst showed very high catalytic activity for the decomposition of dry CH4 and a large amount of deposited carbon formed. The Pd-Ni particles on SiO2 were quite multifaceted from TEM-EDS observation. On the other hand, the Pd-Ni particles on Ce(Sm)O2 support had a spherical shape and doping of Ce and Sm was confirmed. This nature should inhibit the formation of particular plane that is essential for the carbon fiber formation. The detail function of Ce(Sm)O2 and La(Sr)CrO3 supports was discussed.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a significant technology for environmental application. Moreover, immobilising an appropriate catalyst on the surface of a natural organic polymer presents a number of additional advantages including low-cost, high catalytic activity and extensive potential reuse for the application of pharmaceutical, biomedical and industrial activities. This review mainly focuses on the role of chitosan based material as photocatalyst on the environmental remediation.

(1) Background: Iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine with a large nonlinear optical coefficient, good stability, and high catalytic activity has aroused the attention of researchers in the field of photo-Fenton reaction. Further improvement of the visible light photo-Fenton catalytic activity under circumneutral pH conditions for their practical application is still of great importance. (2) Methods: In this paper, iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FePcS) and phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) cointercalated layered double hydroxides (LDH) were synthesized by the ion-exchange method. All samples were fully characterized by various techniques and the results showed that FePcS and PMA were successfully intercalated in layered double hydroxides and the resulted compound exhibited strong absorption in the visible light region. The cointercalation compound was tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for the visible light photo-Fenton degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) at circumneutral pH. (3) Results: The results showed that the degradation and total organic carbon removal efficiencies of bisphenol A were 100% and 69.2%, respectively. (4) Conclusions: The cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements demonstrated that the main contribution of PMA to the enhanced photo-Fenton activity of FePcS–PMA–LDH comes from the acceleration of electron transfer in the reaction system. Additionally, the possible reaction mechanism in the photo-Fenton system catalyzed by FePcS–PMA–LDH was also proposed.

The paper presents the comparative analysis of phase formation in NiO-CuO-Fe2O3-Cr2O3 system at salt decomposition reactions. Spinel phase formation is proven for each material. Synthesized materials are examined with X-ray phase analysis, low temperature nitrogen absorption, electronic microscope scanning. Highly dispersed spinel samples are proven to be obtained through synthesis at organic precursor presence. High catalytic activity of synthesized materials in the process of methyl orange oxidative destruction at hydrogen peroxide presence is determined. The fact is extremely useful for industrial sewage water treatment materials development for enterprises that employ organic pigments or colorants at their production process.
