Effect of copper state on the properties of CuOx/TiO2 catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation

A comprehensive study of supported CuO x /TiO 2 catalysts for low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide was conducted. The composition, structure, morphology, electronic state of the active phase for the samples were studied depending on calcination temperature and copper load...

Catalytic valorization of corncob lignin using comparative Organosolv and mechano-enzymatic pretreatments

Traditional lignin valorization often relies on harsh solvent-based pretreatments that compromise carbohydrate recovery and catalyst efficiency. This study investigates the catalytic valorization of corncob lignin (1% Ruthenium) by comparing traditional Organosolv with a sustaina...

Features of the Synthesis and Electronic Structure of LiIr

Abstract The partial density of states for LiIr with and without spin–orbit coupling was calculated using the DFT method. It was found that the iridium d-orbitals make the main contribution to the density of states. LiIr intermetallic compound has metal-like properties, and elect...

Sr2TiO4 Layered Perovskites: Effect of Doping and Synthesis Method on Properties and Catalytic Activity in Oxidative Coupling of Methane

Layered perovskite-like Sr2TiO4 is a promising catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM)—a potential direct route to produce C2 (ethane + ethylene) hydrocarbons, especially, ethylene. In this work, Sr2 – хLnxTi1 – yFeyO4 (Ln = La, Pr, х = 0, 0.1; y = 0–0.3) layered perovsk...

Development and Study of Adsorbents Based on Iron–Manganese Oxides for Desulfurization of Gas Emissions

Abstract The results of studying the samples of efficient sorbents based on domestic natural raw materials, namely, ferromanganese nodules (FMNs) are presented. The use of these sorbents has significant potential for solving the pressing problem of environmental protection, such...

Deep Methane Oxidation over Pd–Glass Fiber Catalysts Prepared by Chemical Vapor Deposition

Abstract Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and the traditional method of incipient wetness impregnation, new Pd–glass fiber catalysts (GFCs) for the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were synthesized. GFC samples were characterized by physicochemical methods (SEM...

Analysis of CH groups of electrically conductive carbon black

A qualitative and quantitative analysis of aliphatic, aromatic, and olefinic CH groups of conductive carbon black samples obtained by the furnace method was performed in this work. Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), it was revealed that aliphatic CH groups are...
