Polymer-stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters were prepared from the reduction of cobalt(II) chloride in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) stabilizer in methanol solution. PVP-stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters were found to be stable in solution and Could be isolated its solid material and characterized by TEM, XPS, FT-IR, and UV-visible electronic absorption spectroscopy. PVP-stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters were employed as catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride and ammonia-borane, which have been considered as solid-state hydrogen storage materials for portable fuel cell applications. PVP-stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters were found to be highly active catalyst in both hydrolysis reactions, even at room temperature. Kinetic studies show that the catalytic hydrolyses of sodium borohydride and ammonia-borane are both first order with respect to catalyst and substrate concentration in aqueous medium. The effect of the NaOH concentration on the catalytic activity of the PVP-stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride was also studied. The activation parameters of these hydrolysis reactions were determined from the evaluation of the kinetic data. The PVP-stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters provide a lower activation energy for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride both in aqueous medium (E-n = 63 +/- 2 kJ.mol(-1)) and in basic solution (E-a = 37 +/- 2 kJ.mol(-1)) compared to the value reported for bulk cobalt (E-a = 75 kJ.mol(-1)).

Hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride by using water dispersible, hydrogenphosphate-stabilized nickel(0) nanoclusters as catalyst Metin, Oender; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2007-08-01) Water-dispersible nickel(0) nanoclusters are prepared from the reduction of nickel(II) acetylacetonate by sodium borchydride in aqueous solution and stabilized by hydrogerphosphate anion. Hydrogenphosphate-stabilized nickel(0) nanoclusters were characterized by using XPS, FT-IR, UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopic methods. As the first example of water-dispersible nickel(0) nanoclusters, they were employed as catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Hydrogenphosphate-stabilized nickel(0) nanoclusters were...
AIR OXIDATION OF TURKISH BEYPAZARI LIGNITE .3. CHANGE IN THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RESIDUE IN OXIDATION REACTIONS AT 150-DEGREES-C AZIK, M; YURUM, Y; GAINES, AF (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-05-01) Beypazari lignite was subsequently demineralized with HCl/HF and extracted by pyridine under supercritical conditions. The extracted residue was oxidized in air at 150-degrees-C for up to 120 h in a ventilated oven. Elemental analysis, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT), solid-state C-13 CP/MAS/TOSS NMR, and pyrolysis mass (Py-MS) spectroscopic techniques were used for the structural characterization of the oxidized and unoxidized samples. It was found that the oxidation of the extracted...
AIR OXIDATION OF TURKISH BEYPAZARI LIGNITE .1. CHANGE OF STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS IN OXIDATION REACTIONS AT 150-DEGREES-C AZIK, M; YURUM, Y; GAINES, AF (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-05-01) The oxidation of Beypazari lignite was carried out in air at 150-degrees-C for up to 168 h. Oxidized samples were withdrawn from a ventilated oven at different periods of time and characterized by elemental analysis, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT), solid-state C-13 CP/MAS/TOSS NMR, and pyrolysis mass (Py-MS) spectroscopies. It was found that oxidation influenced the organic structure and the inorganics at different periods of the oxidation. Iron(II) sulfate was formed in 24 h, during...
SCANNING ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY OF TREATED BITUMINOUS COALS HUAI, HY; GAINES, AF; FLINT, CD (Elsevier BV, 1992-11-01) Scanning electron microscopy of particles of three bituminous coals (78.5% C, 81.7% C and 89.9% C d.a.f.) which had been treated with pyridine, methanol, bromine, air, sulfuric acid, ammonia and alkylating agents showed that the reagents produced significant changes in the morphology of the particles. The particles cracked and disintegrated in ways which appear to be characteristic of the disruption of hydrogen bonding, the volume and thermal changes accompanying local reactions and of the breakage of C-C b...
Characterization and kinetics of light crude oil combustion in the presence of metallic salts Kök, Mustafa Verşan (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-05-01) In this research, a reaction cell, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to characterize the light crude oil combustion and kinetics in the presence of copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2·6H2O). In TG-DTA experiments with magnesium chloride, three reaction regions were identified, known as distillation, low-temperature oxidation (LTO), and high-temperature oxidation (HTO). In the case of copper(I) chloride, two main transitional stages are observed with...
