This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on understanding the influence of defect sites in titanium dioxide that drive many types of thermal and photochemical reactions. Two of the most common defects in vacuum are titanium interstitials and oxygen vacancies. Molecular oxygen fills oxygen vacancies and creates oxygen adatoms. We broadly investigate reduction and oxidation reactions of oxygenates driven by titanium interstitials and oxygen adatoms. First, we focus on the thermal chemistry of oxygen adatoms with butyrophenone and find that it reacts with the adatoms to form a strongly bound complex. The large difference in mobility between complexed and uncomplexed butyrophenone, and the corrugated nature of the TiO2(110) surface plane, allows a confined one-dimensional gas to persist, which is characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Next, we focus on the reductive coupling of benzaldehyde to stilbene that is driven by titanium interstitials. The diolate intermediate of the reaction is identified by STM and the thermodynamic preference of molecular oxygen to interact with titanium interstitials is exploited to selectively reverse the benzaldehyde diolate intermediates. Additionally, we investigate the photo-oxidative coupling of methanol to methyl formate, the photo-oxidation of butyrophenone and the photo-stability of benzoate. Finally, we identify a water splitting mechanism on reduced titania that creates oxygen adatoms. We demonstrate that the photo-generated oxygen adatoms thermally react with titanium interstitials to make TiOx islands and drive the photo-oxidation of formaldehyde and butyrophenone. Methods used include temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy, STM, and density functional theory.

Download or read book Photocatalysis and Water Purification written by Pierre Pichat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is one of the essential resources on our planet. Therefore, fresh water and the recycling of waste-water are very important topics in various areas. Energy-saving green technologies are a demand in this area of research. Photocatalysis comprises a class of reactions which use a catalyst activated by light. These reactions include the decomposition of organic compounds into environmental friendly water and carbon dioxide, leading to interesting properties of surfaces covered with a photocatalyst: they protect e.g. against incrustation of fouling matter, they are self-cleaning, antibacterial and viricidal. Therefore, they are attractive candidates for environmental applications such as water purification and waste-water treatment. This book introduces scientists and engineers to the fundamentals of photocatalysis and enlightens the potentials of photocatalysis to increase water quality. Also, strategies to improve the photocatalytic efficacy are pointed out: synthesis of better photocatalysts, combination of photocatalysis with other technologies, and the proper design of photocatalytic reactors. Implementation of applications and a chapter on design approaches for photocatalytic reactors round off the book. 'Photocatalysis and Water Purification' is part of the series on Materials for Sustainable Energy and Development edited by Prof. G.Q. Max Lu. The series covers advances in materials science and innovation for renewable energy, clean use of fossil energy, and greenhouse gas mitigation and associated environmental technologies.

Book excerpt: Distinctive characteristics of titanium dioxide such as high refractive index, overwhelmingly high melting and boiling point, high toughness, and hardness, photocatalytic nature, ability to absorb or reflect UV-rays, DeNox catalyst, nontoxicity, inert behavior, etc., have brought about the massive use of TiO2 in a variety of conventional as well as advanced engineering applications. Broad commercial utilization of titanium dioxide in products including paints, anti-air pollutants, cosmetics, skincare and sunblock, pharmaceuticals, surface protection, building energy-saving, etc., accounts for its multibillion dollars market worldwide. Titanium dioxide carries unique thermal and optical characteristics and therefore has gained significance as a potential candidate for advanced applications such as clean hydrogen fuel harvesting, photoelectric solar panels, photothermal conversion, treatment of exhaust gases from combustion engines and power plants, thermal energy storage, thermal management of electronic devices and photovoltaics, and nano-thermofluids. This chapter presents a brief insight into some of the noteworthy characteristics and a comprehensive overview of advanced thermal applications of TiO2.

Download or read book The Oxidation of Cyclohexane written by I. V. Berezin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxidation of Cyclohexane focuses on the processes, methodologies, reactions, and approaches involved in the oxidation of cyclohexane. The publication first offers information on the theory of slow chain oxidations and the products of liquid-phase cyclohexane oxidation. Discussions focus on the applicability of the stationary state method to liquid-phase oxidation reactions; mechanism of liquid hydrocarbon chain oxidation; kinetic equations for product accumulation in degenerate branching chain reactions; and changes of the volume of the liquid phase due to oxidation product formation. The text then ponders on experimental apparatus for the study of the liquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexane, including prevention of cyclohexane losses in the waste gases, explosion danger and problems of safety, and characteristics of gas sampling in cyclohexane oxidation apparatus. The manuscript takes a look at the kinetics of uncatalyzed cyclohexane oxidation and kinetics of cyclohexane oxidation in continuous flow systems. Topics include effect of temperature on the relative yield of cyclohexane oxidation products; kinetics of cyclohexane oxidation in a glass reactor; rate of oxygen absorption and accumulation of reaction products; ideal displacement reactor; and determination of diffusion factor. The publication is a dependable reference for readers interested in the oxidation of cyclohexane.

Download or read book Heterogeneous Photocatalysis written by Mario J. Muñoz-Batista and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field. The chapter "Mechanochemical Forces as a Synthetic Tool for Zero and One-Dimensional Titanium Oxide-Based Nano-photocatalysts" is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 License via link.springer.com.
