In this study, the surface acidity of Co and/or Pb doped SBA15 mesoporous catalysts were investigated by both diffuse reflectance fourier transform (DRIFT) infrared spectroscopy and transmission mode fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Pyridine was used to identify the Brønsted and Lewis acid sites of the surface, at room temperature. From the DRIFT spectrum typical stretching vibrations of isolated terminal silanol (Si-OH) groups were observed for all the catalysts. These silanol group bands dissappeared after pyridine adsorption, indicating that these silanol groups are acidic and serve as chemical adsorption sites for pyridine. Pyridine adsorption on these catalysts revealed that while monometallic additions did not influence the overall acidity of SBA15, in the bimetallic system, characteristic bands due to pyridine adsorption on Co2+ ions were observed.

Quantum chemical simulation of nitric oxide reduction by ammonia (scr reaction) on v2o5 / tio2 catalyst surface Soyer, Sezen; Önal, Işıl; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) The reaction mechanism for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide by ammonia on (010) V2O5 surface represented by a V2O9H8 cluster was simulated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The computations indicated that SCR reaction consisted of three main parts. In the first part ammonia activation on Brønsted acidic V-OH site as NH4+ species by a nonactivated process takes place. The second part includes the interaction of NO with pre-adsorbed NH4 + species to eventually form nitros...
Catalytic partial oxidation of propylene on metal surfaces by means of quantum chemical methods Kızılkaya, Ali Can; Önal, Işık; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) Direct, gas phase propylene epoxidation reactions are carried out on model slabs representing Ru-Cu(111) bimetallic and Cu(111) metallic catalyst surfaces with periodic Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Ru-Cu(111) surface is modelled as a Cu(111) monolayer totally covering the surface of Ru(0001) surface underneath. The catalytic activity is evaluated following the generally accepted oxametallacycle mechanism. It is shown that the Ru-Cu(111) surface has a lower energy barrier (0.48 eV) for the s...
Numerical simulation of radiating flows Karaismail, Ertan; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) Predictive accuracy of the previously developed coupled code for the solution of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the radiative transfer equation was first assessed by applying it to the prediction of thermally radiating, hydrodynamically developed laminar pipe flow for which the numerical solution had been reported in the literature. The effect of radiation on flow and temperature fields was demonstrated for different values of conduction to radiation ratio. It was found that ...
AXIAL DISPERSION OF LIQUID IN MOBILE-BED CONTACTING Uysal, B.Z; Özilgen, M. (Informa UK Limited, 1989-7) Axial dispersion of liquid in Mobile-Bed Contacting (MBC) was investigated employing transient-response technique with impulse input of NaCI tracer. Experiments were performed in a 0.195 m ID column. Three different packing diameters (15, 19.5 and 32 mm) and three different static bed heights (0.1, 0.195 and 0.3 m) were used. Gas flow rate was varied between 3.02 and 4.05 kg/m2/s and liquid flow rate from 2.4 to 10.4 kg/m2/s. Transfer function analysis of data yielded that Peclet number was practically ind...
Acid doped polybenzimidazole membranes for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells Yurdakul, Ahmet Özgür; Baç, Nurcan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) Acid Doped Polybenzimidazole Membranes for High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells Author: Ahmet Özgür Yurdakul One of the most popular candidates for high temperature PEMFC’s is phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane due to its thermal and mechanical stability. In this study, high molecular weight PBI was synthesized by using PPA polymerization. The stirring rate of reaction solution was optimized to obtain high molecular weight. The inherent viscosity of polymer was measured a...
