All these catalysts have been investigated by reaction tests and some physico-chemical characterizations such as BET, H2 chemisorption, catalytic grain crushing strength, NHa-TPD and TPO analyses. Test results showed that the addition of alumina binder could enhance the mechanical strength of catalyst evidently. Moreover, the different preparation procedures not only modified the characteristics of both acid and metal functions but also affected the coke deposition on the catalysts. Among these catalysts studied, the catalyst prepared by impregnation followed by the agglomeration of alumi- na binder had exhibited the highest catalytic activity and stability compared with other catalyst samples undergoing different preparation procedures. The possible reason may be attributed to the highest metallic dispersion and the strong interactions among Pt, Sn and the support.展开更多

The spent FCC equilibrium catalyst, clay, barium carbonate, and talc were used as the main raw materials to prepare the alumina abrasion-resistant ceramic balls to be used in the powder grinding mill for manufacture of architecture tiles. The results showed that after proper formulation study, the spent FCC equilibrium catalyst could replace industrial alumina to prepare high performance grinding balls. Meanwhile, the various performance indices of the grinding ball could meet the quality standard for similar products, and additionally, the energy saving effect was achieved in the operation of the grinding section, resulting in a successful comprehensive utilization of solid wastes.展开更多

The mesoporous alumina shell has a wormhole-like structure with large mesopores. The prepared catalytic cracking catalyst using this composite has exhibited excellent catalytic performance for heavy oil cracking thanks to its favorable physicochemical properties, such as high surface area, large pore volume and outstanding acid sites accessibility for large molecules provided by the composite. In comparison with the reference catalyst using pure Y zeolite, the oil conversion achieved by the above-mentioned catalyst increased by 2.73 percentage points, while the heavy oil yield and coke yield decreased by 2.23 percentage points and 1.28 percentage points, respectively, with the light oil yield increasing by 2.27 percentage points.展开更多

Researchers report indicates that the presence of the second phase with suitable properties can improve some of the mechanical properties of these materials and optimize their characteristic. Carbon nanotubes with unique physical characteristics such as large aspect ratio, high strength and Young's modulus and improved thermal properties could be suitable candidates for this purpose. In this study, the growth of multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the alumina support as the matrix of the composite has been carried out, using catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method in which the iron nanoparticles has been selected as catalyst materials. Ethylene gas is used as feed materials for carbon source and argon as the carrier gas. In order to achieve a more comprehensive results, we have investigated the effects of some fabricating parameters like catalyst particle size, its weight percentage related to support material, alumina and to the some synthesizing temperature gases flow rate. Fabricated ceramics composites samples structures were analyzed using SEM images as well as Raman scattering spectra and X-ray diffraction pattern.展开更多

The experimental results indicate that the spray pyrolysis efficiency is higher than that of static pyrolysis process, and the reaction and evaporation process lead to a multi-plot state of the alumina products by spray pyrolysis. Aluminum phase starts to transform into γ-Al2O3 at spray pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C, which is about 200 °C lower than that of static pyrolysis process. The primary particle size of γ-Al2O3 product is 27.62 nm, and Cl content in alumina products is 0.38% at 800 °C for 20 min.展开更多

The very porous conversion coating produced in a pack aluminization technique had excellent adhesion and was conductive enough to permit conditions favorable for the precipitation of alumina oxyhydroxide during aluminum diffusion coatings. In this work, the bed was prepared as a mixture of A1, NH4C1 and A1203. In the high-activity bed were heat-treated at 1,173 K in an atmosphere made up of team with subsequent air-cooling. The effect of the bed content on the coating was examined. With the high-activity, the desired Fe2Al5 was formed as the outermost coating layer. The coating presented chemical composition gradients suitable for strong adhesion. The improvement of the thermal oxidation behaviour was studied at 1,373 K. Two different aqueous environments, which are (1) NaC1 and (2) H2SO4, are employed for using the technique of potentiodynamic polarization curve. The obtained experimental electrochemical parameters (Ecorr, Jcorr etc,) were used to compare the corrosion resistance of the tested steel state complemented by MEB (electronic scanning microscopy) in combination with dispersive analysis X in energy (EDS) or X ray diffraction indicated that the elements concentration maximum was located in the vicinity of the interface especially in the FeCrAI (Ce) coated by spherical A1203 powder. These results an discussed in terms of an addition effect on the development of the microstructure of oxide films.展开更多

The crystallinity of nanosized Al-MCM-41 zeolites prepared crystallization and lead to change in the properties of the final from precursors mixtures containing different silica sources, e.g. tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), colloidal silica (CS), silicic acid (SA) and fumed silica (FS) have been studied. The produced samples are investigated using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, pyridine adsorption and N2 physisorption. XRD results show that the products obtained from different silica sources are in Al-MCM-41 phase. SEM results show that silica sources influence the produced Al-MCM-41 shape. Using silicic acid leads to formation of spherical crystals, TEOS gives cubical crystals, colloidal silica forms spherical crystals with smaller aggregated, and fumed silica gives rounded crystals. N2 physisorption results show that silica sources influence pore-diameter and pore-volume of the produced Al-MCM-41 ; the pore diameter of the produced Al-MCM-41 in case of colloidal silica, TEOS, fumed silica, and silicic acid are 12, 20, 15, and 17A respectively. Also, the pore volume of the produced AI-MCM-41 in case of colloidal silica, TEOS, fumed silica and silicic acid are 0.78, 0.71, 0.76, and 0.8 cm^3/gm, respectively.展开更多

After annealing at 500-600℃ in air, an Al2O3-TiO2 composite oxide film was formed on the surface of the etched aluminum foil by anodizing galvanostatically in an ammonium adipate solution. The effects of I2 concentration in the acetone solution, applied anode voltage, electrolysis time, and annealing temperature on the specific capacitance of the aluminum anode foils were investigated. The TiO2-deposited specimens prepared by applying a po-tential of 50V for 3 min in 2.5m MI2-added acetone solution followed by annealing at 550℃ after anodization exhibited the highest specific capacitance, with an enhancement of 22% compared with pure etched aluminum foil specimens. The electro-deposition process and the change of the anode voltage during the anodization were analyzed.展开更多

文摘Ti species have been deposited on low-voltage etched aluminum foils by a simple electrochemical method using a Ti anode as Ti source in a Ti-free I2-dissolved acetone solution. After annealing at 500-600℃ in air, an Al2O3-TiO2 composite oxide film was formed on the surface of the etched aluminum foil by anodizing galvanostatically in an ammonium adipate solution. The effects of I2 concentration in the acetone solution, applied anode voltage, electrolysis time, and annealing temperature on the specific capacitance of the aluminum anode foils were investigated. The TiO2-deposited specimens prepared by applying a po-tential of 50V for 3 min in 2.5m MI2-added acetone solution followed by annealing at 550℃ after anodization exhibited the highest specific capacitance, with an enhancement of 22% compared with pure etched aluminum foil specimens. The electro-deposition process and the change of the anode voltage during the anodization were analyzed.
