Wet Impregnation Method

Titania nanoparticles, TiO2 were synthesized via microemulsion method prior to monometallic (Fe, Cu) or bimetallic (CuFe) incorporation using wet impregnation method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy and point of zero charge. The addition of metals, especially Cu enhanced the absorbance in the visible region. The lowest band gap was observed for the bimetallic Cu-Fe/TiO2 (2.77 eV) compared to bare TiO2 (3.05 eV). The performance of the photocatalysts for photodegradation of diisopropanolamine (DIPA) at pH 8 was determined using a batch glass reactor under simulated sunlight (980 W/m2). The best performance was displayed by Cu-Fe/TiO2 with the highest DIPA removal of 92%.

The treatment of organic pollutants in water including semiconductor photocatalysis is a promising approach to disinfect water. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Ce loaded on mesoporous Ti:Ash catalyst for water pretreatment process. The mesoporous Ti:Ash catalyst that doped with Ce was synthesized through wet impregnation method with 5%, 10%, and 15% weight percentage of Ce doped on 40:60 Ti:Ash. The photocatalytic properties were characterized through X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption studies and diffuse reflectance UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. It is found that the Ti:Ash nanocomposites doped with Ce shifted the light absorption band-edge position to the visible region. Moreover, the Ce doped Ti:Ash has large surface area and pore diameter. The Ce doping could significantly improve the absorption edge of visible light and adjust the cut-off absorption wavelength from 404 nm to 451, 477 and 496 nm for 5%, 10% and 15% Ce-doped mesoporous Ti:Ash catalysts, respectively. As the Ce doping ratio increased, the band gaps decreased from 3.06 eV to 2.53 eV. The most contaminant reduction up to 45% was achieved when Ti:Ash:Ce 40:55:5 was used. Higher Ce loading on the photocatalyst may reduce the photocatalyst performance because supernumerary metal loading on TiO2 can block TiO2 defect sites which are necessary for the adsorption and photoactivation. The OPFA also acts as an adsorbent for some pollutants besides, reducing the water salinity. It can be deduced that the hybrid TiO2 photocatalyst that synthesized with OPFA and doped with Ce has huge potential to treat seawater prior to commercial seawater desalination process.

The amount of loaded Co-Mo metal on the Y-Zeolite Ultra Stable (USY) was increased by the addition of activated carbon in the pre-impregnation process. USY modification was done by adding activated carbon to USY as much as 10 wt%. The process of adding activated carbon is carried out by three methods, i.e., grinding with sucrose binder (ACU1), without sucrose (ACU2), and conducting by ball milling (ACU3). Wet impregnation method was employed to disperse the Co and Mo, sequentially. Composites were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and surface area analyzer (SAA). Metal dispersions were observed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The FTIR suggests an interaction between USY and activated car-bon, while the XRD result indicated the none structural transformation of USY zeolite. The SAA analysis showed an increased total pore radius with the activated carbon addition. The XRF confirmed the increasing of total metals dispersion of 6.25% (ACU1); 5.48%(ACU2); 5.18% (ACU3); compare to USY origin with 3.28% metals loaded.

Abstract La1-xSrxNiO3 (x= 0.0, 0.3 or 0.7) perovskite-type oxides were synthesized using the modified proteic gel method and using collagen as an organic precursor. Catalysts of La1-xSrxNiO3/Al2O3 were obtained using the wet impregnation method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area and temperature-programmed reduction. The catalysts were evaluated in the partial oxidation reaction of methane, and the levels of selectivity to CO, CO2, H2 and H2O were determined. Among the catalysts studied, the catalyst LaNiO3/Al2O3 had the highest methane conversion level (78%) and higher H2 selectivity (55%).

Nowadays, one of the most important challenges that humanity faces is to find alternative ways of reducing pollutant emissions. CeO2/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 and Au/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 catalysts were prepared to efficiently transform carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) at low temperatures. The systems were prepared in a two-step process. First, Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 supports were synthesized through the hydrothermal procedure under microwave heating. Then, CeO2 was deposited on Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 using the wet impregnation method, while the incipient impregnation method was selected to deposit gold nanoparticles. The CeO2/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 and Au/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 catalysts were characterized using SEM microscopy and XRD. Furthermore, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy were used. Tests were carried out for the supported catalysts in CO oxidation, and high conversion values, nearing 100%, was observed in a temperature range of 100 to 250 °C. The results showed that the best system was the Au/Bi2Mo0.95Ru0.05O6 catalyst, with CO oxidation starting at 50 °C and reaching 100% conversion at 186 °C.

Oxidative Dehydrogenation Of Isobutane

Vanadium-molybdenum oxides supported on Al2O3, CeO2 and TiO2 were prepared by a ?wet? impregnation method, characterized using DRX, N2 adsorption, UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrical conductivity measurements and tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane. The catalytic performance in the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane at 400-550?C depended on the nature of support and on the content of VMoO species on the support. The catalysts supported on alumina were more active and selective than those supported on ceria and titania.

This paper described the preparation of Cu loaded TiO₂ nanotube arrays. Firstly, TiO₂ nanotube arrays were formed by anodization. Afterwards, the formed nanotube arrays were incorporated with Cu by wet impregnation method. The soaking time and concentration were varied to obtain an optimum set of parameter for Cu incorporation in TiO₂ nanotubes. After anodization, all samples were annealed at 400°C for 4 hours to obtain anatase phase. The nanotube arrays were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). An average diameter 63.02 nm and length 12.15µm were obtained for TiO₂ nanotubes. The photocatalytic activity of these nanotubes were investigated with methyl orange (MO) and the TiO₂ nanotube prepared in 0.01M of Cu (NO₃)₂ solution within 3 hours demonstrates the highest photocatalytic activity with 83.6% degradation of methyl orange.

AbstractThis paper describes the growth of Cd doped ZnO thin films on a glass substrate via sol-gel spin coating technique. The effect of Cd doping on ZnO thin films was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, I–V characteristics and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the films have preferred orientation along (002) plane with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average crystallite sizes decreased from 24 nm to 9 nm, upon increasing of Cd doping. The films transmittance was found to be very high (92 to 95 %) in the visible region of solar spectrum. The optical band gap of ZnO and Cd doped ZnO thin films was calculated using the transmittance spectra and was found to be in the range of 3.30 to 2.77 eV. On increasing Cd concentration in ZnO binary system, the absorption edge of the films showed the red shifting. Photoluminescence spectra of the films showed the characteristic band edge emission centred over 377 to 448 nm. Electrical characterization revealed that the films had semiconducting and light sensitive behaviour.

CeO2 and Zn-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by simple precipitation method in water/isopropanol mixed solvent from cerium nitrate and zinc nitrate with various mole ratios. The precipitates were then calcined at 300°C for 4 hours and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and uv-vis spectroscopy. Characterization by x-ray diffraction shows that high crystallinity of cubic fluorite structure of CeO2 with crystallite size in the range 6 12 nm depending on Zn content. CeO2 nanoparticles exhibits tranparent in the visible region and strong absorbance in the ultra-violet region. It was also found that significant effect of Zn content on transmittance and optical band gap. In addition, Zn substitution into Ce suppressing photocatalytic activity of pure CeO2 nanoparticle under sunlight irradiation. These results suggest that Zn-doped CeO2 nanoparticle is more prommising for safer optical UV-absorbers.
