International audience; The combined dry-steam reforming (CDSR) of a model biogas (66% CH4 + 34% CO2) has been investigated under various feed compositions and reaction temperature conditions over a Ni-Rh/MgAl2O4 catalyst, with the objective to convert the excess of met...

The production of new automotive catalytic converters requires the increase of the quantity of Platinum Group Metals in order to deal with the strict emission standards that are imposed for vehicles. The use of PGMs coming from the recycling of spent autocatalysts could...

Metal oxide nanoparticles become increasingly important as functional materials because their diversity in composition and structure allow the control of their physical properties. This work investigates gas-diffusion electrocrystallization (GDEx) as a method to synthes...

The purpose of the study was the development of water-resistant catalyst and catalytic processes for the conversion of hydrous ethanol to 1-butanol. Water, in hydrous ethanol, strongly inhibits conversion to 1-butanol on solid catalysts. In this study, the nonstoichiome...

Abstract The aerospace industry's current focus on recyclable materials and low-cost processes has accelerated research and implementation of thermoplastics matrix composites (TPC). In the last decades, researchers have researched weldability of these materials as a val...

The pivotal role played by ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) in the synthesis of chiral amines used as building blocks for drugs and pharmaceuticals is widely recognized. However, chiral bulky amines are challenging to produce. Herein, a ω-TA (TR8) from a marine bacterium was use...

Abstract Hypothesis The structure, rheology and other physicochemical properties of dilute aqueous dispersions of sodium oleate (NaOL) are well known. This paper is the first report in which a moderately concentrated (13% w/w) dispersion of NaOL in water is investigated...

We present a novel approach for the separation and recovery of Pt and Pd leached from a spent automotive catalyst relying on conventional and polymerized supported ionic liquid phases (SILPs and polySILPs, respectively). A variety of parameters with possible effects on ...

Abstract ZnxZryOz and modified MuZnxZryOz (M = Si, W, Sc, Mg)/ Zn/(W-Zr) catalysts were studied in conversion of hydrous (4 wt% H2O) ethanol at P =15 bar, T = 450 °C and WHSV = 0.8-7.9 h-1. The basicity of the catalysts changed from 0.015 to 0.66 mmol/g and the acidity ...

We present the latest developments in thermodynamic modeling using the SAFT-γ Mie group-contribution equation of state. The group database is updated, featuring now 58 groups; this expanded databas...
