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 conducted at a GSHV of 20,000 h(-1), 10 1 kPa pressure and over a temperature range of 200-350degreesC. Following a matrix inversion technique to deconvolute the mass spectrometric intensity measurements, signals that were directly attributable to PO were calculated. From these determinations, the elements Rh, Mn, and Mo were the most PO active single metal catalysts on gamma-Al2O3. For acetone (AT) Rh, Pb, and Ir were somewhat effective, while Cu, Mn, and W favored some acrolein (AL) formation. In the second step, catalytic materials containing binary combinations of metals were prepared using a variety of strategies. However, the binary catalytic materials that exhibited the highest PO production levels always contained Rh. The binary combinations that exhibited superior PO production levels were Rh-V, Rh-Cr, Rh-Sn, Rh-In, Rh-Mo, and Rh-Sm, albeit substantial CO2 formation. On the other hand, Rh-Ag, Rh-Zn, and Rh-Cr combinations were significant leads with regard to high PO and low CO2 production. These findings call for the undertaking of detailed secondary screening studies to confirm the primary screening results reported here and to obtain information on the durabilities of these catalytic materials.

Room Temperature Photocatalytic Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Over Pd/TiO2-SiO2 Catalysts
Karakaş, Gürkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-12-01)
The photocatalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide over TiO2-SiO2 and Pd/TiO2-SiO2 catalysts was studied. The catalyst samples were synthesized by using sol-gel technique coupled with hydrothermal treatment and all samples were hydrothermally treated before calcination in air. The catalyst samples were characterized by XRD, BET and DRIFTS techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was determined by using circulated batch photoreactor coupled with in line gas transmission FTIR cell charged with 2,00...

We describe a novel, integrated multi-step process for the partial oxidation of alkanes to alcohols, ethers or olefins using O-2 as oxidant. The sequential transformations are (1) alkane bromination to alkyl bromide(s) and HBr, (2) reaction of this mixture with solid metal oxide (MO) to neutralize the HBr and to generate oxygenated products or olefins plus solid metal bromide, and (3) oxidation of the spent solid with 02 to regenerate the metal oxide and Br-2 for reuse.

Oktar, Ceren; Yılmaz, Levent; Ozbelge, H. Onder; Bicak, Niyazi (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-01)
Hydroxyethyl sulfonamide function supported on styrene-divinyl benzene (9% mol/mol) bead resin is presented as mercury selective reagent. The resin product with 3.49 mmol g(-1) of 2-hydroxyethyl sulfonamide content removes reasonable quantities of mercuric ions (0.83-1.64 mmol g(-1)) from aqueous solutions of HgCl2, Hg (CH3COO)(2) and Hg (NO3)(2), in non-buffered conditions. Experiments showed that, the resin is able to extract mercury selectively, in the presence of foreign ions such as Zn(II), Cd(II), Fe(...

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 ref...
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...
