Ammonia decomposition reaction to produce COx free hydrogen over molybdenum incorporated mesoporous carbon based catalysts was studied in a microwave heated reactor system. Mesoporous carbon is acting as the catalyst support as well as the microwave receptor in the reaction medium. While the highest conversion value was 49% in conventionally heated reaction system at 600 degrees C, total conversion value was achieved over the same catalyst at 400 degrees C in microwave heated system with a GHSV of 36,000 ml/hg(cat). Transfer of microwave energy directly to the active particles, volumetric heating and hot spot formation are the main reasons of this great enhancement. While molybdenum nitride was observed under conventional heating, molybdenum carbide was formed in case of microwave application which could be another improving effect on catalytic activity of molybdenum incorporated mesoporous catalysts.

Microwave-assisted ammonia decomposition reaction over iron incorporated mesoporous carbon catalysts VARIŞLI, DİLEK; Korkusuz, Cansu; Doğu, Timur (2017-02-01) Microwave-assisted ammonia decomposition reaction was investigated to produce COx free hydrogen, for fuel cell applications. Iron incorporated mesoporous carbon catalysts were prepared at different metal loadings, following an impregnation procedure. Mesoporous carbon acted as the catalyst support, as well as the microwave receptor. Complete conversion of ammonia was achieved at 450 degrees C over the catalyst having 7.7 wt% Fe, when the reaction was carried out in the microwave reactor system, using pure a...
Hydrogen gas production using coupled enzyme systems from E-coli and Halobacterium halobium Kaya, B; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroğlu, İnci; Turker, L; Yucel, M (1996-06-28) A photobioreactor containing enzyme systems from E.coli and Halobacterium halobium for hydrogen gas production was constructed. Bacteriorhodopsin is a retinal protein present in the purple membrane fragment of photosynthetic bacteria H. halobium which behaves as a light driven proton pump upon illumination. The H+ ion gradient produced between interior and exterior of the cell membrane utilized by the bacterial cell for synthesis of ATP as an energy source for its growth and survival. Under anaerobic growth...
Hydrogen production by different strains of Rhodobacter sphaeroides Gündüz, Ufuk; Yucel, M; Turker, L; Eroglu, L (2000-06-15) Utilisation of solar energy by photosynthetic microorganisms for H-2 production attracts much interest due to unlimited supply of energy. It is important to identify the most effective strain in terms of hydrogen production for the feasibility of the process. Four different strains of Rhodobacter sp. were grown in a water-jacketed cylindrical glass-column photobioreactor under anaerobic conditions. Growth characteristics and hydrogen production rates were determined. Comparison between strains of Rhodobacte...
Hydrogen bonding in polyanilines Bahçeci, S.; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yurtsever, E. (Elsevier BV, 1994-12) Hydrogen bonding between poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) and polyaniline (PAn) is analyzed using semi-empirical quantum methodology. Fully optimized AM1 molecular orbital calculations are reported for various aniline structures (monomer, dimer and trimer), the monomer of the PC and the hydrogen-bonded model of PAn-PC oligomer.
Activated carbon-tungstophosphoric acid catalysts for the synthesis of tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) Obali, Zeynep; Doğu, Timur (2008-05-01) Catalytic activities of bulk tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) and its supported forms on activated carbon were investigated in the vapor phase etherification reaction of isoamylene with ethanol in a continuous flow reactor. Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40 center dot 11H(2)O) was supported on activated carbon having a surface area of 796 m(2)/g, at two different loading levels (25% and 31%) by aqueous impregnation technique and the kinetic experiments were done in a temperature range between 353 and 370 K.
