The methanol into hydrocarbons transformation is a complex catalytic reaction accompanied by the formation of a wide range of hydrocarbons and proceeding on the surface of acid sites of various zeolites. Zeolite H-ZSM-5 considered to be most often used catalyst for this process. H-ZSM-5 is a highly dispersed material with a crystal diameter of 1–20 microns, which complicates its direct use in reactors with a fixed catalyst bed due to the high hydraulic pressure drop of the catalytic bed. Traditionally in industry, this issue is solved by using complex reactor systems with a fluidized bed, which is justified for large-scale production. In small and medium-size plants, the use of fluidized bed systems is not economically feasible. One of the possible solutions to this problem is the use of a monolithic catalyst with a supported layer of H-ZSM-5 zeolite. This article presents a study of the catalytic activity of a zeolite-containing microstructured monolith in methanol into hydrocarbons transformation. The monolith was synthesized by pressing a zeolite-containing mass followed by drying, calcining, and secondary growth of the zeolite on the monolith surface. A sample of a monolith with an average channel diameter of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mm were synthesized this way. Samples of the microstructured catalyst were tested at varying temperatures from 250 to 450 °C and at varying the specific methanol feed rate from 0.65 to 2.3 kg (MeOH)/(kg (Cat) h). For this purpose, the monolithic catalyst was placed in a reactor for testing microstructured catalysts, which consisted of a pump, a temperature controller, a catalytic reactor, a condenser, a separating funnel, and a chromatograph. Varying the conditions showed that for the preferential production of gaseous C1–C4 hydrocarbons, it is advisable to carry out the reaction under the following conditions: the average diameter of the catalyst channels is 2 mm, the reaction temperature is 350 °C, the methanol feed rate is 1.65 kg (MeOH)/(kg (Cat) h). For the predominant formation of liquid hydrocarbons of the C5–C8 fraction, it is advisable to carry out the transformation of methanol into hydrocarbons under the following conditions: the average diameter of the catalyst channels is 1 mm, the reaction temperature is 350 °C, the methanol feed rate is 0.65 kg (MeOH) / (kg (Cat) h). For the predominant formation of liquid hydrocarbons of the C9–C12 fraction, it is advisable to carry out the transformation of methanol into hydrocarbons under the following conditions: the average diameter of the catalyst channels is 0.5 mm, the reaction temperature is 350 °C, and the methanol feed rate is 0.65 kg (MeOH) / (kg (Cat) h).

The article presents the results of strained hydrocarbons formation study during the catalytic transformation of methanol into hydrocarbons on zeolite H-ZSM-5. The formation of the following strained cyclic compounds was determined: 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane, 1,2-dimethyl-cyclopropane, 1,1,2-trimethylcyclopropane, 1,2,3-trimethylcyclopropane, 1,1,2,2-tetramethylcyclo-propane, 1,1,2 , 3-tetramethylcyclopropane. The non-stationary character of strained cyclic hydrocarbons formation with a pronounced hydrocarbons formation rate maximum and subsequent deactivation of the catalyst was found. The temperature effect on strained hydrocarbons yield was evaluated. Thus, with an increase in the process reaction temperature up to 400 °C, a maximum of strained hydrocarbons accumulation rate was achieved as 8-8.5 g(Hyd)/(kg(Cat)·h) on 350 h of reaction, and a further increase in the reaction temperature leads to a decrease in the strained hydrocarbons accumulation rate. The effect of the methanol feed rate on the strained hydrocarbons formation rate was also studied. An increase in the methanol feed rate from 0.02 ml/min to 0.16 ml/min results in increase in the strained hydrocarbons formation rate up to 37 g (Hyd)/(kg(Cat)·h). The article presents results of H-ZSM-5 physicochemical study used by ammonia chemisorption, nitrogen phisisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Physicochemical studies of catalyst samples after the methanol transformation process to form strained hydrocarbons showed a twofold decrease in the number of acid sites from 1.2 mmol(NH3)/g (sample) to 0.3 mmol (NH3)/g(sample) and a significant decrease in surface area of micropores from 294 m2/g for the initial sample to 16 m2/g for the sample after the reaction. The X-ray diffraction spectroscopy method showed that the composition of the catalysts H-ZSM-5 surface includes carbon, oxygen, silicon and aluminum. Carbon concentration was found to be 4.3 at.% on the surface of the initial catalyst. While the carbon concentration increases up to 14.1 at.% during the reaction. Also oxygen content on the catalysts surface decreases from 59.9 to 53.4 at%, silica concentration decreases from 35.5 to 32.1 at.%. The following indicates the formation of a carbon surface layer over the catalysts.

The development of the separation method has an essential role in developing science and technology for the separation and purification of an element or compound from other mixtures based on differences in physical and chemical properties. This research is more focused on the selection parameters of polystyrene-based resin production using diethylene triamine penta-acetate (DTPA) light, which used as a prototype for improved scale production. The Plackett-Burman design was used to select variables that have significant influence in Methylaminopolystyrene-Diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (MAP-DTPA) resin synthesis. Eleven variables such as mol ratio of Methylamino Polystyrene and diethylene triamine penta-acetate ligands, solvent volume, reaction time, stirring rate, reaction temperature, total volume, reaction pH, incubation time, ammonia concentration, and the addition of methanol were carried out for the selection of parameters or variables in the process of MAP-DTPA resin synthesis through a statistical approach in studies for design experiments using Software Design Expert 9.0.6.2. Of the eleven variables in resin synthesis obtained, six variables have a positive influence on the yield ratio value (percent yield ratio) of MAP-DTPA resin are the mol ratio of MAP and DTPA, Stirring Rate, reaction temperature, total volume, degree of acidity, and ammonia concentration.

Abstract The experiment of improving Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) denitrification efficiency with gas additives (CH4 and C3H8) was carried out in the 50 kW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) pilot-scale equipment. The results show that the denitrification efficiency can reach 20 % when the reaction temperature is 650 °C, and the optimum mole ratio of C3H8/NH3 is 0.5. The denitrification efficiency can exceed 50 % when the mole ratio of C3H8/NH3 is 0.4 and the reaction temperature is 720 °C. However, the CH4 additive does not promote denitrification at this temperature. When the reaction temperature is 760 °C, the optimum denitrification efficiency of CH4 is 60 %, and the required CH4/NH3 is 0.8. Once the amount of CH4 exceeds the optimal value, the denitrification efficiency is suppressed. In addition, the concentrations of N2O and CO in the gas increase significantly with an increase of gas additives. Due to the incomplete oxidation of C3H8, a large amount of C2H4 is produced in the low-temperature region (< 750 °C) of SNCR.

AbstractA simple method is reported for the synthesis of monodispersed HfO2 nanoparticles by the ammonia catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation of hafnium (IV) tert-butoxide in the presence of surfactants at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopy shows faceted nanoparticles with an average diameter of 3-4 nm. As-synthesized nanoparticles are amorphous in nature and crystallize upon moderate heat treatment. The HfO2 nanoparticles have a narrow size distribution, large specific surface area and good thermal stability. Specific surface area was about 239 m2/g on as-prepared nanoparticle samples while those annealed at 500 °C have specific surface area of 221 m2/g indicating that there was no significant increase in particle size. This result was further confirmed by TEM images of nanoparticles annealed at 300 °C and 500 °C. X-ray diffraction studies of the crystallized nanoparticles revealed that HfO2 nanoparticles were monoclinic in structure. The synthetic procedure used in this work can be readily modified for large scale production of monodispersed HfO2 nanoparticles.

Silver nanoparticles with average diameter of 22.4 nm were prepared by aqueous reduction method for low-temperature sintering bonding application. The reaction temperature and PVP concentration, which are the influential factors of nanoparticle characteristics, were investigated during reduction process. In our research, monodispersity of nanoparticles was remarkably improved while unfavorable agglomeration was avoided with the AgNO3/PVP mass ratio of 1 : 4 at the reaction temperature 30°C. Besides, copper pads were successfully bonded using sintering paste employing fresh silver nanoparticles with diameter of 20~35 nm at 200°C. In addition, after morphology of the bonding joint was analysed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the porous sintering characteristics were confirmed.

The metal oxides with sufficiently high dehydrogenation and low olefin oxidation activities reduces the acidity of ZSM-5. As a result, the metal containing ZSM-5 can produce higher hydrocarbons in methane oxidation. Many researchers studied the applicability of HZSM-5 and modify ZSM-5 to methane conversion to liquid hydrocarbons but result of their research still lead to low conversion and selectivity. The modified HZS-5 by loading with Tungsten (W) enhanced its heat resistant performance, and the high reaction temperature (800ºC) did not lead to the loss of W component by sublimation. The loading of HZSM-5 with Tungsten and Cooper (Cu) resulted in an increment in the methane conversion, CO2 and C5+ selectivities. In contrast, CO, C2-3, and H2O selectivities were reduced. The process to convert methane to liquid hydrocarbons (C5+) was dependent on the metal surface area and the acidity of zeolite. The high methane conversion and C5+ selectivity, and low H2O selectivity are obtained by using W/3.0Cu/HZSM-5.  Keywords : Characterization W-ZSM-5, Modified HZSM-5, Tungsten, Copper, Methane  Abstrak  Logam oksida dengan kemampuan dehidrogenasi yang tinggi dan aktifasi oksidasi olefin berkurang dengan sifat keasaman dari ZSM-5.

Agglomeration is a particle formulation process in which at least two primary particles are combined to form a new one. The growth of agglomerates depends on interactions of particles covered with wet spots that generated by depositions of binder droplets. This work experimentally compares the influence of external feed rate and sprayed binder content on product properties and process stability with internal separation at different drying conditions. Due to the identification of parameters a populations balance model (PBM) is developed. The PBM includes the agglomeration kernel function, which characterizes the kinetics, i.e. the rate at which primary particles build agglomerates. Keywords: spray fluidized bed agglomeration; drying; continuous process; internal separation; population balances
