ABSTRACTCobalt nanomaterials with promoters have been prepared by precipitation followed by calcination and impregnation method. The obtained materials are characterized by ICP, H2-TPR, BET and XRD. A small addition of manganese increases the specific surface area of cobalt nanomaterials and thermostability under reduction atmosphere. Bulk Co3O4 has been reduced in two steps (Co3+→Co2+→Co). A small addition of manganese to the cobalt oxide shifts the reduction peaks to high temperatures.

BiOCl/BiOI nanocomposites were synthesized using a thermal impregnation method for the first time. The intense visible-light absorption and large specific surface area gave 4wt.%BiOCl/BiOI nanocomposites the best visible-light photocatalytic properties among all the catalysts for the photodegradation of methyl orange,about 78% after 2 h. But decreased activities were obtained with the increase of BiOCl content in the nanocomposites. Considering the light absorption,specific surface area and the quantum efficiency, the high recombination of the photoinduced electron-hole pairs of the catalysts that lowed the quantum efficiency was believed to be the critical factor for their decreased photocatalytic activities.

AbstractDuring precipitation and calcination at 200°C nanocrystalline Co3O4 was obtained with average size crystallites of 13 nm and a well developed specific surface area of 44 m2 g−1. A small addition of a structural promoter, e.g. Al2O3, increases the specific surface area of the cobalt oxide (54 m2 g−1) and decreases the average size of crystallites (7 nm). Al2O3 inhibits the reduction process of Co3O4 by hydrogen. Reduction of cobalt oxide with aluminium oxide addition runs by equilibrium state at all the respective temperatures. The apparent activation energy of the recrystallization process of the nanocrystalline cobalt promoted by the aluminium oxide is 85 kJ mol−1. Aluminium oxide improves the thermostability of both cobalt oxide and the cobalt obtained as a result of oxide phase reduction.

A series of Cu-based catalysts for the synthesis of indole by the reaction of aniline and ethylene glycol were prepared and characterized by ICP-AES and XRD. The results indicated that the activity and stability of Cu/SiO2 catalyst was increased after adding Zn, Mn, Cr and Fe promoters. Mn promoter was favorable for the dispersion of Cu, Zn, Cr, Fe and enlarged the specific surface area of catalysts. It could be seen that the catalysts prepared by impregnation method had better stability and higher activity than the catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method. The catalysts with small grain size of Cu had higher activity than those with big grain size. Some catalysts showed excellent performances in this reaction.

The objective of this study is to determine the optimum portions of coloured pigments, chromium (I, II) oxide (Cr2O3) and cobalt oxide in producing coloured cement. The fineness (specific surface area - SS) of coloured cement via Blaine permeability test is also determined. The green and grey colours become darker as the percentages of chromium (II, III) oxide and cobalt oxide are increased. The chromium (II, III) oxide coloured cement become coarser as the added portions of chromium (II, III) oxide pigment is increased from 3 to 9 %. For cobalt oxide coloured cement, it becomes finer as the added portions of the cobalt oxide pigment are increased from 3 to 6 %. Results show that the optimum portions of chromium (II, III) oxide and cobalt oxide being added into the white cement in order to produce the colours at the most best is 5%. The Blaine permeability test shows that the values of the specific surface of the coloured cements comply with the Standard Specification.

The preparation of Ni-Mo/Mordenite catalysts with variation of Mo/Ni ratio and their characterizations for conversion of stearic acid have been conducted. The catalysts were prepared by loading a small amount of nickel and/or molybdenum on H-Mordenite (H-Mor) with total metal content = 1 wt% based on the mordenite. The metals was supported on to the mordenite by impregnation method using nickel nitrate and/or ammonium heptamolybdate solution. The Mo/Ni ratio was varied as follows 0/1, 1/0, 1/1, 2/1, and 3/1 produced Ni/Mor, Mo/Mor, Ni1-Mo1/Mor, Ni1-Mo2/Mor and Ni1-Mo3/Mor catalyst respectively. The catalysts were then calcinated with nitrogen, oxidized with oxygen and reduced by hydrogen. The characterizations of catalyst were carried out by measuring Ni and Mo contents using atomic absorbtion spectroscopy (AAS), acidity by ammonia vapour adsorption, specific surface area and pore size distribution by nitrogen gas adsorption (NOVA-1000). The catalyst characters on conversion of stearic acid were performed in a flow reaction system at 4000C under hydrogen stream (10 mL/min). The AAS analyses showed that the metal impregnated on to the H-Mor sample were consistent to the initial metal concentrations. The loading of Ni and/or Mo enhanced the acidity, however decreased the specific surface area and total pore volume of the H-Mor sample. The higher the acidity the higher the conversion of stearic acid and the lower the coke formation. The other catalyst characters gave the variation effects toward the stearic acid conversion. The conversions of stearic acid were 34,52%,  43,33%, 65,10%, 80,10%, 86,42% and 95,72% produced by Ni1-Mo3/Mor, H-Mor, Mo/Mor, Ni/Mor, Ni1-Mo2/Mor and Ni1-Mo1/Mor catalyst, respectively.   Keywords: Ni-Mo/Mordenite, impregnation, stearic acid, Ni1-Mo1/Mordenite

The research of transesterification reaction catalyzed by CaO/natural zeolite has been carried out. This work was aimed to obtain the high yield of biodiesel. The supporting process of CaO on natural zeolite (CaO/ZAA) was done by using wet impregnation method and characterization of CaO/ZAA was performed using XRD, FTIR and the determination of specific surface area of natural zeolite as CaO supporter was performed by BET method. This research aims to study the influence of transesterification reaction which was executed by varying molar ratio of oil to methanol and reaction temperature. Analysis of functional groups and minerals using FTIR and XRD, respectively, showed no significant changes before and after the impregnation of CaO on natural zeolites. CaO supported on natural zeolite was undetected by FTIR. Instead, it was detected by the vibration of carbonate groups as the result of the CO2 absorption by CaO and the result of surface area analysis using BET method showed that the greater the size of natural zeolite, the smaller the specific surface area of catalyst. The result analysis using BET method showed that the spesific surface area of 200 mesh sized natural zeolite as CaO supporter was 9.993 m2/g. The simple gravimetric test revealed that  the amount of CaO supported on 200 mesh sized natural zeolite was 0.2155 g/g. It was concluded that CaO/ZAA 200 mesh was the most suitable catalyst which was then used in the production of biodiesel. The transesterification result showed that the highest biodiesel yield of 98.34% was gained at molar ratio of oil to methanol of 1:15 and at the temperature of 60 oC. The GC-MS analysis indicated that the main components of the biodiesel were methyl palmitate and methyl oleate.

<p>The current paper reports on the kinetics of glycerol reforming over the alumina-supported Ni catalyst that was promoted with rare earth elements. The catalysts were synthesized via wet impregnation method with formulations of 3 wt% Sm-20 wt% Ni/77 wt% Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. The characterizations of all the as-synthesized catalysts were carried out, viz.  BET specific surface area measurements, thermogravimetri analysis for temperature-programmed calcination studies, FESEM for surface imaging, XRD to obtain diffraction patterns, XRF for elemental analysis, etc.. Reaction studies were performed in a stainless steel fixed bed reactor with reaction temperatures set at 973, 1023 and 1073 K employing weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 4.5×10<sup>4</sup> mL g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>. Agilent GC with TCD capillary column was used to analyze gas compositions. Results gathered showed that the BET specific surface area was 2.09 m<sup>2</sup>.g<sup>-1</sup> for the unpromoted Ni catalyst while for the promoted catalysts, was 2.68 m<sup>2</sup>.g<sup>-1</sup>. Significantly, the BET results were supported by the FESEM images which showed promoted catalysts exhibit smaller particle size compared to the unpromoted catalyst. It can be deduced that the promoter can increase metal dispersion on alumina support, hence decreasing the size of particles. The TGA analysis consistently showed four peaks which represent water removal at temperature 373-463 K, followed by decomposition of nickel nitrate to produce nickel oxide. From reaction results for Sm promotion showed glycerol conversion, X<sub>G</sub> of 27% which was 7% higher than unpromoted catalyst. The syngas productions were produced from glycerol decomposition and created H<sub>2</sub>:CO product ratio which always lower than 2.0. The H<sub>2</sub>:CO product ratio of 3 wt% Sm promoted Ni/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst was 1.70 at reaction temperature of 973 K and glycerol partial pressure of 18 kPa and suitable enough for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.  Copyright © 2016 BCREC GROUP.
