Carcinogenic hexavalent Cr in the current iron oxide-based catalysts of high temperature water-gas shift (HT-WGS) reaction is great environmental concern. Interpreting the role of the Cr in this important industrial catalyst system is required. In the present study, we investigated substitution of Cr atoms into the most stable termination of Fe3O4 (111) slab surface by spin-polarized periodic DFT approach to comprehend the role of Cr. We applied the projector augmented-wave (PAW) method within the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) form of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) on the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP). The calculations point out that Cr atoms choose being below the surface FeO6 sites. Cr slightly affects the dissociative H2O adsorption. There is no effect on the CO adsorption. Oxygen vacancy is favored to form on the topmost layer with less vacancy formation energy. Substitution of Cr into the structure increases the oxygen vacancy formation energy. This indicates that Cr does not act as a chemical promoter and does not affect the catalytic activity positively, which is experimentally confirmed by the previous studies.

Role of Boron in Enhancing the Catalytic Performance of Supported Platinum Catalysts for the Nonoxidative Dehydrogenation of n-Butane Byron, Carly; Bai, Shi; Çelik, Gökhan; Ferrandon, Magali S.; Liu, Cong; Ni, Chaoying; Mehdad, Ali; Delferro, Massimiliano; Lobo, Raul F.; Teplyakov, Andrew V. (2020-01-17) Platinum-based supported catalysts for hydrocarbon conversion are among the most effective for selective dehydrogenation and isomerization processes. However, high process temperatures and the possibility of coke formation require catalyst modifications to mitigate such effects. One of the emerging approaches to prevent platinum catalyst deactivation is the use of boron additives that have been proposed to prevent coking. Despite such a valuable property of boron, the mechanisms for extending the catalyst l...
Zamana bağlı sorpsiyon sitelerinin optimum pompaj ve arıtım tasarımı üzerindeki etkileri Güngör Demirci, Gamze; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2012-01-01) Kirlenmiş sahalarda kirleticilerin toprağa tutunmuş halde bulunabilmesi ve suya çözünmenin yavaş olması, pompaj ve arıtım yöntemiyle temizleme tasarımını ve maliyetlerini etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmada, 1-f faktörünün optimum temizleme tasarımı ve maliyeti üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. f, zamana bağlı sorpsiyonu tanımlamak için sıklıkla kullanılan iki-siteli sorpsiyon modelinde yer alır ve 1-f zamana bağlı sorpsiyon sitelerinin oranını gösterir. Çalışmada benzetim-eniyileme yöntemi kullanılarak, 5 fa...
Effect of ionic strength on the performance of polymer enhanced ultrafiltration in heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions İslamoğlu, Sezin; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) Effect of ionic strength on the efficiency of heavy metal removal and recovery from aqueous solutions via continuous mode polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) method was examined. Application of PEUF to divalent ions of cadmium, nickel and zinc after their prior linking with polyethylenimine (PEI) results in complete removal of metal ions from single component aqueous solutions at high pHs. Binding ability and hence the extent of metal retention in high ionic strength medium exhibits differences between ...
Effect of pre-acclimation of granular activated carbon on microbial electrolysis cell startup and performance LaBarge, Nicole; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Hong, Pei-Ying; Logan, Bruce E. (2017-02-01) Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can generate methane by fixing carbon dioxide without using expensive catalysts, but the impact of acclimation procedures on subsequent performance has not been investigated. Granular activated carbon (GAC) was used to pre-enrich electrotrophic methanogenic communities, as GAC has been shown to stimulate direct transfer of electrons between different microbial species. MEC startup" times using pre-acclimated GAC were improved compared to controls (without pre-acclimation ...
Effect of hydrogen ion-exchange capacity on activity of resin catalysts in tert-amyl-ethyl-ether synthesis Boz, N; Doğu, Timur; Murtezaoglu, K; Dogu, G (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-10) Activities of ion-exchange resin catalysts, having different hydrogen exchange capacities ranging between 5.1 and 1.3 meq H+/g, on the etherification reactions of 2M1B (2-methyl-1-butene) and 2M2B (2-methyl-2-butene) with ethanol were experimentally tested in a fixed bed reactor. These catalysts were prepared by the heat treatment of Amberlyst-15 catalysts at 220 degreesC at different durations of time and also by the synthesis of sulfonated styrene divinyl benzene cross-linked resins. Activity of these cat...
