Application of Ni–Al-hydrotalcite-derived catalyst modified with Fe or Mg in CO₂ methanation

Xiaolong Wang, Tao Zhen, Changchun Yu

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 217-223

In this work, Ni–Al-hydrotalcite-derived catalyst modified with Fe or Mg for CO₂ methanation was investigated in an attempt to improve the reaction activity at low temperature. Through the characterization of XRD, H₂-TPR, and N₂-BET, 0.05Fe–Ni–Al₂O₃-HT catalyst can be found with a better reducing property, higher surface area, better Ni dispersion, and smaller pore size. The CO₂ conversion using this...

New in situ solid-state NMR strategies for exploring materials formation and adsorption processes: prospects in heterogenous catalysis

Kenneth D. M. Harris

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 295-306

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying structural and dynamic properties of solids and has considerable potential to be exploited for in situ studies of chemical processes. However, adapting solid-state NMR techniques and instrumentation for in situ applications are often associated with technical challenges, and for this reason, the opportunities remain underexploited....

Heterogeneously catalyzed lignin depolymerization

Antonio Pineda, Adam F. Lee

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 243-256

Biomass offers a unique resource for the sustainable production of bio-derived chemical and fuels as drop-in replacements for the current fossil fuel products. Lignin represents a major component of lignocellulosic biomass, but is particularly recalcitrant for valorization by existing chemical technologies due to its complex cross-linking polymeric network. Here, we highlight a range of catalytic...

Preparation of odour removal catalysts with self-regeneration capability

Yongxiang Zhao, Lili Zhao, Yu Huang, Haoyi Chen, more

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 191-199

Odours remain at the top of air pollution complaints both indoor and outdoor, which can come from sewage, rotten food, and human digestions. Activated carbon has been used to absorb the odour materials, but its physical absorption can easily be saturated and could be a potential pollution source when less odour compounds exist in the surrounding environment. Here, for the first time, we have developed...

Advances in the study of coke formation over zeolite catalysts in the methanol-to-hydrocarbon process

B. Liu, D. Slocombe, M. AlKinany, H. AlMegren, more

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 209-215

Methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) process over acidic zeolite catalysts has been widely utilised to yield many types of hydrocarbons, some of which are eventually converted into the highly dehydrogenated (graphitized) carbonaceous species (cokes). The coking process can be divided into two parallel pathways based on the accepted hydrocarbon pool theory. From extensive investigations, it is reasonable...

Methane dehydroaromatisation and methanol activation over zeolite catalysts: an overview

J. S. J. Hargreaves

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 183-190

A brief overview of methane dehydroaromatisation over MoO₃/H-ZSM-5 derived catalysts, the deposition of carbonaceous residues from methanol over H-mordenite and the role of binders in zeolite catalysed reactions is presented. The selective poisoning of methane cracking catalysts is proposed as a potential strategy for the development of methane dehydroaromatisation catalysts. In the case of methanol...

Surface engineering and self-cleaning properties of the novel TiO₂/PAA/PTFE ultrafiltration membranes

Lina Chi, Yingjia Qian, Boyu Zhang, Zhenjia Zhang, more

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 225-233

Immobilization of nano-scaled TiO₂ onto polymeric ultrafiltration (UF) membrane offers desirable antifouling and self-cleaning properties to the membrane, which is practical in wastewater purification only if the mechanical strength and long-term self-cleaning durability are realized. This paper reported the surface roughness, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and recycling self-cleaning performance...

Catalytic decomposition of carbon-based liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage materials for hydrogen generation under mild conditions

Felipe Sánchez, Davide Motta, Nikolaos Dimitratos

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 269-277

The increasing demand of energy requires the development of sufficient and sustainable energy sources. However, the upcoming hydrogen economy is suffering from challenges which need to be solved. In this context, the search for liquid hydrogen storage materials and successful utilisation is crucial due to the high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities, easy recharging, low capital investment,...

Impact of carbon nanotubes addition on electrical, thermal, morphological, and tensile properties of poly (ethylene terephthalate)

Basheer A. Alshammari, Arthur Wilkinson

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 257-267

In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated into poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) matrix in their as-received (A-MWCNTs) and treated (T-MWCNTs) forms. Melt-compounding method was used for the preparation of these carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced PET composites. The electrical conductivity, thermal stability, morphological, and tensile properties were investigated....

On choosing the most appropriate catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuels and other commodities, and on the environmentally benign processing of renewable and nonrenewable feedstocks

Sir John Meurig Thomas, Rowan K. Leary

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 167-182

Until recently the drive to discover and utilize renewable feedstocks for the production of energy and for the manufacture of materials was exceptionally strong. Now, however, because of the realisation that nonrenewable (e.g. gas and oil) reserves are still superabundant, a different emphasis is appearing. This involves utilizing both nonrenewable and renewable feedstocks in an environmentally responsible...

Perfomances of different additives on NiO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst in CO methanation

Zhong He, Xiaolong Wang, Rong Liu, Shiwang Gao, more

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 235-241

In this work, NiO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst with different additives prepared by excessive dipping method, was investigated in CO methanation in an attempt to improve the reaction activity and enhance the anti-coking property. The influences of additives, such as Zr, Co, Ce, Zn and La, on catalysts in performance of CO methanation were studied in a fixed-bed reactor. The catalysts were characterized by XRD,...

Methane reforming over Ni-based pyrochlore catalyst: deactivation studies for different reactions

Nitin Kumar, Zi Wang, Swarom Kanitkar, J. J. Spivey

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 201-207

A 1 wt% Ni-based La₂Zr₂O₇ pyrochlore catalyst was synthesized using the modified Pechini method. The catalyst was characterized by H₂-TPR, and pre- and post-reaction XRD, and tested for its methane-reforming activity under three different reaction conditions: (a) dry-reforming (CH₄ + CO₂), (b) oxy-CO₂ reforming (CH₄ + CO₂ + O₂), and (c) bi-reforming (CH₄ + CO₂ + H₂O). The TPR results show that NiO...

Capture and recycle of industrial CO₂ emissions using microalgae

Michael H. Wilson, Daniel T. Mohler, John G. Groppo, Thomas Grubbs, more

Applied Petrochemical Research > 2016 > 6 > 3 > 279-293

A novel cyclic flow photobioreactor (PBR) for the capture and recycle of CO₂ using microalgae was designed and deployed at a coal-fired power plant (Duke Energy’s East Bend Station). The PBR was operated continuously during the period May–September 2015, during which algae productivity of typically 0.1–0.2 g/(L day) was obtained. Maximum CO₂ capture efficiency was achieved during peak sunlight hours,...
