The textural and structural properties of the prepared samples have been characterized by N2adsorption-desorption analysis, BET, XRD, TEM with EDX, HAADF-STEM, and H2-TPR.

The results revealed that the mixed oxides were mesoporous in nature with a high BET surface area (315- 435m2/g). Among various methods, the microwave route achieved the highest surface area (433m2/g), pore volume (0.70cc/g) and pore size (6.50nm). The total acidity of the sample synthesized by the microwave reactor was also higher (0.296mmol/g) than that resulting from other methods.

For each stage, the products of thermal destruction in the gas phase were determined by mass-spectrometry. It was shown that the chemical decomposition in all samples started at a temperature above 200°C, and the temperature of zinc hydroxonitrate decomposition increased with increasing TEOS content in the ash, while the activation energy of that process decreased.

The aim of our experimental work was to study the quality improvement of this cracked fraction (PPCGO) and crude oil based middle distillates (different composition) with co-processing. Our goal was to produce high quality diesel fuel blending components. We studied the effect of process parameters on the quality of products. Ni (2.3%) Mo (11.0%) P (2.3%)/Al2O3 catalyst was used. During the experiments we studied the hydrogenation of olefins, saturation of aromatics and desulphurization. The hydrogenation of olefins was practically complete at 300°C. It took place at significantly higher speed than the desulphurization reactions. In case of light gas oil feedstock the products had significantly lower sulphur contents; below 10 mg/kg already at 340°C. We determined that the cracked fraction had beneficial effect on the performance properties of the products. In case of all feedstock combinations, we found process parameters which can be used to produce high-quality diesel fuel blending components on the tested catalyst.","PeriodicalId":9642,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis for Sustainable Energy","volume":"18 1","pages":"12 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82024774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the developed method was able to separate the target components (H2, CO2, CH4 and CO) from their mixtures without any special sample treatment. The validated method was selective, precise, accurate, and robust. Application of the developed and validated GC-TCD method to the measurement of by-product components of HDO of bio-oil revealed a good performance with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 1.0% for all target components, implying that the process of method development and validation provides a trustworthy way of obtaining reliable analytical data.","PeriodicalId":9642,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis for Sustainable Energy","volume":"236 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78820573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All prepared nanocomposite catalysts show a high catalytic activity in the water-gas shift reaction. The optimum content of nickel in the catalyst providing the maximum activity was found to be 10 wt. %. A high oxygen mobility in these catalysts estimated by the temperature-programmed oxygen isotope heteroexchange with C18O2 provides required coking stability. To eliminate local overheating of the catalyst and decrease the pressure drop in the reactor, as required for further up-scaling, the active component was supported on a metal plate made of Ni-Al foam alloy.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to produce JET fuel containing an alternative component made from straight-run kerosene and the waste polyethylene cracking fraction. We carried out our experiments on a commercial NiMo/Al2O3/P catalyst at the following process parameters: T=200-300°C, P=40 bar, LHSV=1.0-3.0 h-1, hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio= 400 Nm3/m3. We investigated the effects of the feedstocks and the process parameters on the product yields, the hydrodesulfurization and hydrodearomatization efficiencies, and the main product properties. The liquid product yields varied between 99.7-99.8%. As a result of the hydrogenation the sulfur (1-1780 mg/kg) and the aromatic contents (9.0-20.5%) of the obtained products and the values of their smoke points (26.0-34.7 mm) fulfilled the requirements of JET fuel standard. Additionally, the concentration of paraffins increased in the products and the burning properties were also improved. The freezing points of the products were higher than -47°C, therefore product blending is needed.","PeriodicalId":9642,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis for Sustainable Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":"52 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79043690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
