The three catalysts' characteristics were determined by BET, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and XPS. MB degradation in different systems and at different pH values was also studied. Under the conditions of H2O2 concentration of 4.9 mmol L-1, catalyst dosage of 5 g L-1, pH of 5, reaction temperature of 60 ℃ and MB initial concentration of 100 mg L-1, the as-synthesized catalysts showed much greater reaction rate and degradation efficiency of MB than Fe2O3/ATP catalyst. In addition, the reusability of the as-prepared composites was evaluated. The intermediate products of MB degradation were identified by LC-MS and the possible degradation process of MB was put forward.]]> Tue 03 May 2022 11:59:40 AEST ]]> On the Chemistry of Iron Oxide Supported on γ-Alumina and Silica Catalysts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43325 Thu 15 Sep 2022 14:43:46 AEST ]]> Comparison of direct, selective oxidation of methane by N₂O over Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-Beta, and Fe-FER catalysts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37767 2O as oxidant. Spectroscopic and solid characterization tools including H2-TPR, in situ IR, N2 gas adsorption, CO chemisorption, and TGA-MS were used in the investigation. Ammonia adsorption data suggested that among the studied zeolites, H-FER zeolite contained the highest concentration of framework Al atoms, which are essential for the formation of active extra-framework Fe species. The oxidation state and redox active species of Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-Beta, and Fe-FER catalysts were studied by H2-TPR, which disclosed the presence of a unique reduction peak (originating from N2O pretreatment) centered at approximately 235 °C over the samples. The hydrogen consumption peak was more prominent over Fe-FER than other catalysts, demonstrating that the Fe-FER catalyst contained more active sites for N2O conversion in comparison to Fe-Beta and Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts. For IR spectra of NO adsorbed on the Fe zeolites, a band at 1874 cm–1 with a shoulder at 1894 cm–1 was observed over the three catalysts, suggesting the presence of extra-framework Fe clusters in ion exchange positions. We demonstrated these clusters are acting as active sites for the oxidation of methane with N2O. Bands of methoxy groups were observed in FTIR profiles of CH4 and N2O adsorbed on Fe-FER, Fe-ZSM-5, and Fe-Beta catalysts at 350 °C. Over Fe-FER, the concentration of silanol-bonded methoxy groups accounted for over 95% of all methoxy groups under all the reaction conditions studied. In comparison, for the Fe-ZSM-5 and Fe-Beta catalysts, the proportion was less than 80%. The catalytic activity studies showed that Fe-FER was the most active catalyst based on methane and N2O conversion, and displayed the highest selectivity to C1-oxygenates and dimethyl ether formation, while Fe-ZSM-5 obtained the highest selectivity to ethylene among the three catalysts. Fe-ZSM-5 was found to deactivate significantly due to coke formation.]]> Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:03:06 AEST ]]> Formation mechanism of nano graphitic structures during microwave catalytic graphitization of activated carbon https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49214 Sun 07 May 2023 09:37:16 AEST ]]> Base catalysed transesterification processes using magnesium and barium oxide composites https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11961 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:32:24 AEDT ]]> Control moisture problems in slurry-based polyolefin operations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17054 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:11 AEDT ]]> Low-Cost Pt Alloys for Heterogeneous Catalysis Predicted by Density Functional Theory and Active Learning https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48716 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:47:51 AEDT ]]> Hydrodeoxygenation of fatty acid over La-modified HZSM5 for premium quality renewable diesel production https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47359 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:35:13 AEDT ]]> An experimental investigation of the catalytic activity of natural calcium-rich minerals and a novel dual-supported CaO-Ca12Al14O33/Al2O3 Catalyst for Biotar Steam Reforming https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47208 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:45:48 AEDT ]]> Tailoring and Identifying Brønsted Acid Sites on Metal Oxo-Clusters of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Catalytic Transformation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50393 Mon 24 Jul 2023 14:54:09 AEST ]]> Boron nitride nanotube nucleation during Ni-catalyzed boron oxide chemical vapor deposition https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36649 2O production being assumed to accompany the formation of BN during BOCVD, we do not observe Ni-catalyzed evolution of H2O, although significant amounts of H2 is evident. At low oxygen chemical potentials, defect-free BN ring networks are produced following the oligomerization of BN chain structures and the Ni-catalyzed cleavage of homoelemental B-B and N-N bonds. The BNNT tip structures align perpendicular to the surface via the direct fusion of adjacent BN ring networks via a mechanism that is a stark departure from that observed for carbon nanotube nucleation.]]> Mon 22 Jun 2020 14:38:29 AEST ]]> Group and period-based representations for improved machine learning prediction of heterogeneous alloy catalysts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47973 Mon 13 Feb 2023 16:12:53 AEDT ]]> Chiral-selective carbon nanotube etching with ammonia: a quantum chemical investigation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29491 Fri 28 Jun 2019 11:53:08 AEST ]]> Kinetics and mechanism of catalytic oxidation of NO in coal combustion flue gas over co-doped Mn-Ti oxide catalyst https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40041 2. The influence of the concentrations of NO and O2 on the oxidation of NO was investigated. Besides, the changes in the reaction rate with the particle size of the catalysts were investigated to determine the internal diffusion resistance. The surface area and microcrystalline structure of the catalysts were analyzed to investigate the impact of physical structure on SO2 poisoning in the catalyst. It was observed that Co doping in Mn/TiO2 had a favorable impact on reducing the effect of SO2 poisoning during the NO oxidation reaction. On the basis of the kinetic study, it was concluded that the reaction followed the Langmuir−Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism, where NO and O2 were adsorbed on the catalyst, forming highly reactive NO+ and O, which were then converted into NO2. The Co doping into the TiO2 crystal lattice increased the O2 adsorption, thus accelerating the rate of NO oxidation reaction.]]> Fri 22 Jul 2022 13:14:04 AEST ]]> Why Carbon Nanotubes Grow https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51718 Fri 15 Sep 2023 17:54:41 AEST ]]> Predicting the hydrogen release ability of LiBH₄-based mixtures by ensemble machine learning https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46095 Fri 11 Nov 2022 11:03:01 AEDT ]]>
