The development of a solid substrate for the support and stabilization of zero-valent metal nanoparticles (NPs) is the heart of the catalyst system. In the current embodiment, we have prepared solid support comprise of alginate-coated cellulose filter paper (Alg/FP) for the synthesis and stabilization of Co nanoparticles (NPs) named as Alg/FP@Co NPs. Furthermore, Alginate polymer was blended with 1 and 2 weight percent of CoNi NPs to make Alg-CoNi1/FP and Alg-CoNi2/FP, respectively. All these stabilizing matrixes were used as dip-catalyst for the degradation of azo dyes and reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4NP). The effect of initial dye concentration, amount of NaBH4, and catalyst dosage was assessed for the degradation of Congo red (CR) dye by using Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs. Results indicated that the highest kapp value (3.63 × 10−1 min−1) was exhibited by Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs and lowest by Alg/FP@Co NPs against the discoloration of CR dye. Furthermore, it was concluded that Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs exhibited strong catalyst activity against CR, and methyl orange dye (MO) degradation as well as 4NP reduction. Antibacterial activity of the prepared composites was also investigated and the highest l activity was shown by Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs, which inhibit 2.5 cm zone of bacteria compared to other catalysts.

Experimental Findings

In industrial-scale catalytic olefin copolymerization processes, catalyst and cocatalyst precontacting before being introduced in the polymerization reactor is of profound significance in terms of catalyst kinetics and morphology control. The precontacting process takes place under either well-mixing (e.g., static mixers) or plug-flow (e.g., pipes) conditions. The scope of this work is to study the influence of mixing on catalyst/cocatalyst precontacting for a heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst system under different polymerization conditions. Slurry ethylene homopolymerization and ethylene copolymerization experiments with 1-butene are performed in a 0.5 L reactor. In addition, the effect of several key parameters (e.g., precontacting time, and ethylene/hydrogen concentration) on catalyst activity is analyzed. Moreover, a comprehensive mass transfer model is employed to provide insight on the mass transfer process and support the experimental findings. The model is capable of assessing the external and internal mass transfer limitations during catalyst/cocatalyst precontacting process. It is shown that catalyst/cocatalyst precontacting is very important for the catalyst activation as well as for the overall catalyst kinetic behavior. The study reveals that there is an optimum precontacting time before and after which the catalyst activity decreases, while this optimum time depends on the precontacting mixing conditions.

Hybrid Photocatalyst

The hybrid-photocatalyst was successfully prepared by compositing graphene and TiO2 in this thesis. The properties of the hybrid-photocatalyst was stydited by XRD, SEM. The hotocatalytic activity of the hybrid-photocatalyst was evaluated by decolorization of acid yellow dye solution under visible light irradiation. The result shows that the main phase of the hybrid-photocatalyst is antase TiO2. The effects of different titanium carbon ratio, photocatalysis time, catalyst dosage and pH on the photocatalytic for acid yellow dye are discussed. Under the conditions that titanium carbon ratio 100:50, the photocatalytic time 120 min, catalyst dosing concentration 0.1g / L and the optimum pH 8, the treatment of methyl orange dye is the best.

Coordination polymerization of styrene (St) using molybdenum pentachloride supported by phosphite ligand in the presence of metal organic compound was studied for the first time. The types of phosphite and co-catalysts significantly affected the catalytic activity of the molybdenum (V) (Mo(V)) active center and the number-average molecular weight ( Mn) of the resultant polymer. Among the examined catalysts, tri(nonylphenyl)phosphite (TNPP) ligand and AlOPhCH3( i-Bu)2 as co-catalyst provided the polymer with highest yield (up to 87.1%), metallocene as co-catalyst provided the polymer with highest Mn (up to 5.32 × 105). The effect of [P]/[Mo] molar ratio on catalyst activity of the polymerization was discussed and the structures of Mo·TNPP complexes were preliminarily studied by infrared (IR) and ultraviolet spectroscopies. Besides, the polystyrene (PS) samples synthesized through bulk polymerization and solution polymerization were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, IR, carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively, and the results indicated both of the PS had high molecular weight (approximately 105) and atactic structure. All these results demonstrated that Mo(V) catalyst system was very effective for St polymerization.

ABSTRACTThe effect of increasing metal fraction on carbon arc nanoparticle production is examined for 10–50 weight percent cobalt starting materials. With 500 Torr of helium buffer gas, the carbon arc process yields carbon-coated FCC Co nanoparticles of similar sizes throughout this range. The saturation magnetization is believed to scale linearly with the relative abundance of Co. The variation in the coercivity with abundance is small compared to the dramatic changes which can arise from changes in the size of fine particles. The approach to magnetic saturation is more rapid in high abundance samples. This is attributed to interparticle interactions which align the easy axes when the nanoparticles crystallize within interconnected carbon shells. The switching field distribution as a function of Co abundance arises from both rotational barriers and from barriers due to the particle size distribution.

The dry reforming of methane (DRM) process has attracted research interest because of its ability to mitigate the detrimental impacts of greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce alcohols and clean fuel. In view of this importance of DRM, we disclosed the efficiency of a new nickel-based catalyst, which was promoted with magnesia (MgO) and supported over gamma-alumina (g-Al2O3) doped with silica (SiO2), toward DRM. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The effect of MgO weight percent loading (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 wt. %) was examined because the catalytic performance was found to be a function of this parameter. An optimum loading of 2.0 wt. % of MgO was obtained, where the conversion of CH4 and CO2 at 800 °C were 86% and 91%, respectively, while the syngas (H2/CO) ratios relied on temperature and were in the range of 0.85 to 0.95. The TGA measurement of the best catalyst, which was operated over a 15-hour reaction time, displayed negligible weight loss (<9.0 wt. %) due to carbon deposition, indicating the good resistance of our catalyst system to the deposition of carbon owing to the dopant and the modifier. TEM images showed the presence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, confirming the TGA.
