Towards the utilization of Cu2O nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated Cu2O nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1–4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of Cu2O catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffused reflectance (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and electro chemical impedance (EIS) were followed for characterization. The cabbage-like morphology of the developed Cu2O and its composites were ascertained from field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). In addition, the growth mechanism was also proposed. The results infer that 2 wt % GO-incorporated Cu2O composites shows the highest value of degradation efficiency (97.9% and 96.1%) for MB and MO at 160 and 220 min, respectively. Further, its catalytic performance over visible region (red shift) was also enhanced to an appreciable extent, when compared with that of other samples.

Yttrium silicates Y2SiO5upconversion nanomaterials with different doping concentrations of praseodymium ion Pr are prepared by using a sol-gel method. X-ray diffractometer, SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and fluorescence spectrometer have been employed to test the crystal structure and upconversion luminescence performances. The results indicate that samples calcined higher than 950°C present fine crystal structures, of which Si-O-Si band at 757–1048 cm−1splits into three fine peaks. The crystal size of the samples calcined at 950°C and 1000°C is 29.1 nm and 66.7 nm, respectively. The luminescence intensities of the samples are increasing at first and then decreasing, with the increasing of the doping concentrations of 0.47%, 0.77%, 0.96%, 2.95%, and 4.93%. Nanomaterial sample doped 0.96% Pr emits the highest upconversion luminescence intensity of 6.43 × 106 cps and shows the best photodegradation performance for nitrobenzene wastewater. It demonstrates that too much of Pr doping concentration would result in quenching of the fluorescence. Nevertheless, as the degradation time expands, sample doped 0.96% Pr shows much faster increasing of photodegradation rate than samples of other doping concentrations and reaches to a high photodegradation rate of 97.14% in 6 hours for 10 mg/L nitrobenzene wastewater.

Co/Mg1−XCe3+XO (x = 0, 0.03, 0.07, 0.15; 1 wt% cobalt each) catalysts for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction were prepared using the co-precipitation method with K2CO3 as precipitant. Characterization of the catalysts was achieved by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The role of several reactant and catalyst concentrations, and reaction temperatures (700–900 °C) on the catalytic performance of the DRM reaction was measured in a tubular fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure at various CH4/CO2 concentration ratios (1:1 to 2:1). Using X-ray diffraction, a surface area of 19.2 m2.g−1 was exhibited by the Co/Mg0.85Ce3+0.15O catalyst and MgO phase (average crystallite size of 61.4 nm) was detected on the surface of the catalyst. H2 temperature programmed reaction revealed a reduction of CoO particles to metallic Co0 phase. The catalytic stability of the Co/Mg0.85Ce3+0.15O catalyst was achieved for 200 h on-stream at 900 °C for the 1:1 CH4:CO2 ratio with an H2/CO ratio of 1.0 and a CH4, CO2 conversions of 75% and 86%, respectively. In the present study, the conversion of CH4 was improved (75%–84%) when conducting the experiment at a lower flow of oxygen (1.25%). Finally, the deposition of carbon on the spent catalysts was analyzed using TEM and Temperature programmed oxidation-mass spectroscopy (TPO-MS) following 200 h under an oxygen stream. Better anti-coking activity of the reduced catalyst was observed by both, TEM, and TPO-MS analysis. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Co2 Reforming Of Methane

Nickel, palladium, and platinum catalysts (1 wt.% each) supported on MgO and MgZrO to prepare Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg1-xZrxO catalysts (where x = 0, 0.03, 0.07, and 0.15), were synthesized by using co-precipitation method with K2CO3 as the precipitant. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to observe the characteristics of the prepared catalysts. The Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85Zr0.15O showed the best activity in dry reforming of methane (DRM) with 99 % and 91 % for CO2 and CH4 conversions, respectively and 1.28 for H2/CO ratio at temperature 900 °C and 1:1 of CH4:CO2 ratio. The stability of Pt,Pd,Ni/Mg0.85Zr0.15O catalyst in the presence and absence of low stream 1.25 % oxygen was investigated. Carbon formation and amount in spent catalysts were examined by TEM and TGA in the presence of stream oxygen. The results showed that the amount of carbon was suppressed and negligible coke formation (less than 3 %) was observed. Several effects were observed with ZrO2 use as a promoter in the catalyst. Firstly, the magnesia cubic phase stabilized. Secondly, thermal stability and support for basicity increased. Thirdly, carbon deposition and the reducibility of Ni2+, Pd2+, and Pt2+ ions decreased.

Synthesis and characterization of Cr/Al2O3-bentonite nanocomposite as a hydrocracking catalyst of castor oil have been conducted. The catalyst was prepared according to the following method. At the first step, bentonite was activated using H2SO4 to obtain H-bentonite, after that the activated clay was pillarized by Al2O3, Next, a salt solution of Cr (NO3)3·9H2O was impregnated in the pillared bentonite sample, followed by calcination and reduction to obtain the final catalyst, i.e. Cr/Al2O3-bentonite. The catalysts including unpillared bentonite were characterized using infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-Ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and gas sorption analyzer. GC-MS analysis was conducted to characterize the hydrocracking product. The research results showed that pillarization of bentonite caused an increasing of the basal spacing of bentonite in an amount of 1.01 nm. Although Chrom was unevenly dispersed on the bentonite and it probably blocked the bentonite framework resulted in the decrease of catalyst specific surface area, Cr/Al2O3-bentonite catalyst gave the best conversion of 64.03%. The GC-MS analysis data showed that the hydrocracking products contained various kinds of organic compounds such as acetone, acetic acid, methyl benzene, octane, heptanal, 2-octene, 1-undecanoic acid, 9-octadecenal and 10-undecenoic acid.
