The role of alkali promoters in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was investigated in terms of restricted adsorption/desorption mobility of hydrogen on the metal surface. A Fischer-Tropsch synthesis surface reaction model postulated by Kellner and Bell (J. Catal. 1981, 70, 418) was modified for the removal of surface oxygen steps, and expressions were derived for methane formation rates and chain growth probabilities. The resulting expressions were analyzed in terms of decreased hydrogen adsorption equilibrium constant preexponentials upon alkali promotion. The model predictions were consistent with the experimental data, justifying the role of alkali promoters as modifiers of adsorption/desorption mobility of hydrogen while not interfering with the electronic structure of the metal catalyst.

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.

Propylene Epoxidation: High-Throughput Screening of Supported Metal Catalysts Combinatorially Prepared by Rapid Sol-Gel Method Önal, Işık; Seubsai, Anusorn; Kahn, Michael; ŞEKER, EROL; Senkan, Selim (2010-02-01) The gas phase oxidation of propylene using molecular oxygen was studied on a variety of supported metal catalysts. The most promising PO activity was obtained for Cu supported on high surface area SiO(2) and the multimetallic systems exhibit synergistic effects that increased the desired PO yield by several folds for Ag promoted with Cu on SiO(2) after screening a large number of catalysts by a high throughput testing technique.
Pretreatment processes of molasses for the utilization in fermentation processes Çalık, Pınar; Boyaci, FG; Takac, S; Ozdamer, TH (2001-01-01) The composition of beet molasses was modified by 14 pretreatment processes which were the combination of physical, physicochemical, and chemical processes, i.e. acid hydrolysis of sucrose, precipitation of metal ions, removal of organic acids by ion exchange resins, and entrapment of metal ions in solution. Acid hydrolysis was favourable for glutamic acid fermentation, while the use of diluted and centrifuged molasses was advantageous for alkaline protease fermentation.
Insights into surface-adsorbate interactions in corrosion inhibition processes at the molecular level ÖZCAN, MUZAFFER; Toffoli, Daniele; Toffoli, Hande; DEHRİ, İLYAS (2014-03-01) 2-((3-Methylpyridine-2-imino)methyl)phenol (MPIMP) was investigated as a potential corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.5 M HCI solution using impedance spectroscopy (IS). Changes in impedance parameters indicated that adsorption of MPIMP occurred on the mild steel surface. Three stable adsorption configurations for MPIMP on the Fe(11 0) surface were identified as a result of geometry optimization starting from several adsorption geometries using density functional theory (DFT). Involvement of the deloca...
Stereoselective Synthesis of Bishomo-inositols as Glycosidase Inhibitors Baran, Arif; Balcı, Metin (2009-01-02) For the synthesis of various bishomo-inositol derivatives, 1,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-2-benzofuran was used as the key compound. For further functionalization of the diene unit, the diene was subjected to photooxygenation, epoxidation, and cis-hydroxylation reactions. The endoperoxide linkage was cleaved by thiourea. The remaining double bond was subjected to epoxidation and cis-hydroxylation reactions. The epoxide rings and tetrahydrofuran rings formed were opened by acid-catalyzed reaction with sulfamic acid.
