Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The environmental applications of oxidation catalysis were examined as part of a two-stage strategy for the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and also for the removal of carbon monoxide from hydrogen streams. Cobalt-based catalysts were examined. Reduction of NOx, Co/TiO2 and Co/ZrO2 were studied for the oxidation of NO to NO2 in excess oxygen. NO oxidation was studied as the first step in a two-step catalytic scheme where NO is oxidized to NO2 and, in turn, NO2 is reduced with CH4 to N2 under lean conditions. Catalysts were prepared by sol-gel and incipient-wetness impregnation techniques. It was found that increasing the calcination temperature had an adverse effect on the activity of the IWI catalysts. Catalyst characterization showed higher activity for NO oxidation on Co/ZrO2 than on Co/TiO2 which was observed to correlate with the formation of the Co3O4 phase. For the preferential oxidation of CO, cobalt on several metal oxide supports were investigated and showed the highest activity on Co/ZrO2. A variety of reaction experiments were performed to examine the effects of reactant concentrations, residence time, and temperature on the CO conversion and O2 selectivity to CO2.

Download or read book Plasma Catalysis written by Annemie Bogaerts and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma catalysis is gaining increasing interest for various gas conversion applications, such as CO2 conversion into value-added chemicals and fuels, N2 fixation for the synthesis of NH3 or NOx, methane conversion into higher hydrocarbons or oxygenates. It is also widely used for air pollution control (e.g., VOC remediation). Plasma catalysis allows thermodynamically difficult reactions to proceed at ambient pressure and temperature, due to activation of the gas molecules by energetic electrons created in the plasma. However, plasma is very reactive but not selective, and thus a catalyst is needed to improve the selectivity. In spite of the growing interest in plasma catalysis, the underlying mechanisms of the (possible) synergy between plasma and catalyst are not yet fully understood. Indeed, plasma catalysis is quite complicated, as the plasma will affect the catalyst and vice versa. Moreover, due to the reactive plasma environment, the most suitable catalysts will probably be different from thermal catalysts. More research is needed to better understand the plasma–catalyst interactions, in order to further improve the applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adsorption, Ion Exchange and Catalysis is essentially a mixture of environmental science and chemical reactor engineering. More specifically, three important heterogeneous processes, namely, adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis, are analysed, from fundamental kinetics to reactor design with emphasis on their environmental applications. In Chapter 1, the subject of air and water pollution is dealt with. Data about pollutants and emission sources are given and the treatment methods are shortly presented. In Chapter 2, the very basics and historical development of adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis are presented as well as their environmental applications. Chapter 3 is devoted to heterogeneous processes and reactor analysis. All types of reactors are described in depth and reactor modelling, hydraulics and mass/heat transfer phenomena are examined for each type of reactor. Chapters 4 and 5 are dedicated to adsorption & ion exchange and catalysis, respectively. The basic principles are presented including kinetics, equilibrium, mass/heat transfer phenomena as well as the analytical solutions of the reactor models presented in Chapter 3. In the sixth chapter, the subject of scale up is approached. The two Annexes at the end of the book contain physical properties of substances of environmental interest as well as unit conversion tables. Finally, nearly all the examples contained are based on real experimental data found in literature with environmental interest. Most of the examples consider all aspects of operation design – kinetics, hydraulics and mass transfer. * Provides basic knowledge of major environmental problems and connects them to chemical engineering
