Dry reforming of tar compounds has been studied on Ni loaded perovskites to gain insight into conversion of tar compounds (produced by biomass gasification) into synthesis gas. Nickel is a highly active hydrocarbon decomposition and water-gas shift (WGS) catalyst suffering from coke deposition and sintering. Perovskite materials (e.g. LaCoO3 and LaFeO3 ) are used to compensate the problems related to stability of nickel catalyst by sintering and coke formation. Perovskites exhibit high thermal stability, high oxygen storage/release capacity and high tar removal activity [1-3]. For this study, we choose benzene as a model compound for tars. We have investigated dry reforming of benzene on Ni/LaCoO3 at various Ni loadings, CO2 to benzene ratios and temperatures. The conventional Ni/Al2 O3 catalyst was also used as a reference material to determine the relative activity of Ni/LaCoO3 . Several techniques were used to characterize catalyst materials: XRD to determine crystal structure, BET to determine surface area, pore structure and volume of catalysts, Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR) to determine the reducibility of materials, XPS to detect the oxidation state and chemical composition of the catalyst surface, TGA to determine the amount of carbon deposited after reaction. We found that the reducibility of Ni/LaCoO3 catalyst is 4 times higher than that of Ni/Al2 O3 catalyst and the surface concentration of nickel is 4 times more on Ni/LaCoO3 catalyst than that on Ni/Al2 O3 catalyst. Due to its high surface nickel concentration and reducibility, Ni/LaCoO3 catalyst shows two times higher benzene conversion and H2 yield and less carbon formation than than the conventional Ni/Al2 O3 catalyst.

Catalytic oxidation of nitrogen containing compounds for nitrogen determination
Karakaş, Gürkan (2019-02-15)
The high temperature catalytic oxidation (HTCO) performance of Al2O3 supported Pt, Cu, Cu-Ce and Fe catalysts were systematically studied with a perspective of selective oxidation of nitrogenous compounds to nitric oxide for quantitative determination of bound nitrogen. The catalyst samples were prepared via impregnation and characterized by XRD and BET. In addition, temperature programmed reaction experiments with acetonitrile and oxygen were conducted to evaluate the catalytic activity and selectivity tow...

Kalyoncu, Şule; Önal, Işık; Şeker, Erol; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012)
Throughout this thesis work, various catalysts were investigated with combinational approach to develop highly active and selective novel catalysts for direct epoxidation of propylene to PO using molecular oxygen. The promoted and un-promoted silver (Ag), copper (Cu), ruthenium (Ru), manganese (Mn) mono and multimetallic catalytic systems over different silica supports were prepared via sol-gel method and incipient wetness method. In addition to support effect, the effects of different promoters on the cata...
CATALYTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MASSIVE AND LOADED SULFONIC RESINS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ETHYL tert-BUTYL ETHER AT ATMOSPHERIC AND INCREASED PRESSURE
Vlasenko, N. V.; Kochkin, Yu. N.; Strizhak, P. E.; Doğu, Timur; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; OKTAR, NURAY; Degirmenci, L. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-11-01)
The catalytic characteristics of massive and loaded sulfonic resins in the synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether at atmospheric and increased pressures have been compared. It has been established that massive sulfonic resins are more active than loaded resins at atmospheric pressure. At higher pressures, on the other hand, the activity and selectivity of catalysts are greater the lower the content of polymer as a result of the increased effectiveness of the acid centers.

A combinatorial approach is used to investigate several bimetallic catalytic systems and the promoter effect on these catalysts to develop highly active and selective catalysts for direct epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide (PO) using molecular oxygen. 2%Cu/5%Ru/c-SiO2 catalyst yielded the highest performance with high propylene conversion and PO selectivity among the bimetallic catalytic systems including silver, ruthenium, manganese and copper metals. On the other hand, the most effective catalyst...

İpek Torun, Bahar (2016-01-01)
Direct catalytic methanol production from methane is achieved on Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite catalysts using N2O as the oxidant. The methanol production rate on Cu-SSZ-13 (on a per gram basis) was more than twice the rate on Cu-mordenite and more than four times the rate on Cu-ZSM-5.
