Ni based mesoporous alumina (MA) catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel (SGA) and hydrothermal (MA) methods, following impregnation and one-pot synthesis routes and catalytic performances of these materials were tested in dry reforming of methane. Results proved the importance of synthesis procedure of the MA supports on the activity and coke resistance of the synthesized materials, containing 16 % Ni. Among these catalysts, MA prepared by the sol-gel technique (Ni@SGA) showed the highest activity in dry reforming reaction. However, largest coke formation was observed with this catalyst. Although the activity of the catalyst prepared by the impregnation of Ni into MA, which was prepared by the hydrothermal route (Ni@MA), was somewhat lower than the activity of Ni@SGA, almost no coke formation was observed during a reaction period of 4 h at 600 A degrees C with this catalyst. Catalytic performance of this material was also highly stable. Impregnation of 9 % W into Ni@SGA considerably improved the coke resistance of the catalyst. However, modification of Ni@SGA by Mg was not as effective. Results proved that almost zero coke formation was achieved by impregnation of Ni into MA which was synthesized by a hydrothermal route and modification of the SGA based catalyst by W had positive effect on coke minimization.

Zeolite framework stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles: Active and long-lived catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane and sodium borohydride
Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Ayvali, Tugce; Akbayrak, Serdar; Caliskan, Salim; Celik, Derya; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-19)
Among the hydrogen storage materials, ammonia-borane and sodium borohydride appear to be promising candidates as they can release hydrogen on hydrolysis in aqueous solution under mild conditions. Here, we report the development of a cost-effective and highly active nickel(0) nanoparticles catalyst for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane and sodium borohydride. Nickel(0) nanoparticles confined in zeolite framework were prepared by using our previously established procedure and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM...
Using spilled over hydrogen in NH3 synthesis over supported Ru catalysts
Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2016-09-01)
The role of spilled over hydrogen in ammonia synthesis reaction was monitored over Ru/SiO2, Ru/SBA15 and Ru/CNF using an in-situ DRIFTS cell reactor. Strongly bound hydrogen trapped on the metal and spilled over hydrogen trapped on the support due to a diffusion barrier remained on the surface after the overnight purge followed by hydrogen exposure over a reduced catalyst. When N-2 flow was introduced at room temperature, IR characteristic signals of NH3 were observed, indicating the formation of ammonia fr...
Methane to higher hydrocarbons via halogenation
Degirmenci, V; Üner, Deniz; Yılmaz, Ayşen (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-15)
Activation of methane with a halogen followed by the metathesis of methyl halide is a novel route from methane to higher hydrocarbons or oxygenates. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that bromine is the most suitable halogen for this goal. Analysis of the published data on the reaction kinetics in a CSTR enabled us to judge on the effects of temperature, reactor residence time and the feed concentrations of bromine and methane to the conversion of methane and the selectivity towards mono or dibromomethane. Th...
Vanadium incorporated high surface area MCM-41 catalysts
Gucbilmez, Y; Doğu, Timur; Balci, S (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-28)
High surface area MCM-41 (1452 m(2)/g) and V-MCM-41 materials were synthesized by a direct hydrothermal synthesis method. Characteristic XRD patterns, SEM and AFM photographs indicated no significant change in the morphology of MCM-41 by incorporation of vanadium. XPS and EDS results proved that incorporation of vanadium into the MCM-41 structure was successfully achieved when vanadyl sulfate hydrate was used as the vanadium source. However, use of ammonium vanadate as the vanadium source was not equally su...
Selective oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using combinatorial methodologies
Miyazaki, T; Ozturk, S; Onal, I; Senkan, S (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-30)
Direct oxidation of propylene by oxygen to propylene oxide (PO) has been studied through the application of the techniques of combinatorial catalysis. Catalytic materials containing single and binary metal components were prepared by impregnating standard gamma-Al2O3 pellets. In the first stage, 34 single component catalytic materials at three different metal loading levels were prepared and screened for PO activity and selectivity using array channel microreactors and mass spectrometry. Experiments were co...
