  2. 1. Parameters influencing inclusion compositions in Al-killed steel melts during a secondary refining process

    Author : Takanori Yoshioka; Andrey Karasev; Pär Jönsson; Joohyun Park; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-metallic inclusion; ladle furnace; RH; thermodynamics; contact angle; Al2O3; MgO•Al2O3 spinel; calcium aluminate; CaS.;

    Abstract :      This study was carried out to clarify the factors influencing the evolution of inclusions in Al-killed steel melts during a secondary refining process. First, a case-hardening steel was the subject of study to understand the factors influencing the inclusion compositions in the steel melt. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of NOx Storage Catalysts - Preparation, Characterization, Sulfur Deactivation and Micro Kinetic Modelling

    Author : JAZAER DAWODY; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kinetic modelling; metal oxide additives; NO oxidation; Zeta potential; FTIR; SO2 oxidation; Al2O3; NOx storage and reduction catalysts; TEM; BaCO3; SEM; Pt precursors; sulfur deactivation;

    Abstract : For the protection of the global environment, it is essential to decrease the emissions of CO2 which is a green house gas. Lean-burn and diesel engines offer relatively low CO2 emissions and good fuel economy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Rhodium diesel-reforming catalysts for fuel cell applications

    Author : Xanthias Karatzas; Lars J. Pettersson; James Spivey; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autothermal reforming; auxiliary power unit; BET; chemisorption; diesel; fuel cell; hydrogen; monolith; reforming catalyst; reformer design; Rh; RhPt alloy; TEM; TPO; TPR; XRD; XPS; zone coating; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Heavy-duty diesel truck engines are routinely idled at standstill to provide cab heating or air conditioning, and in addition to supply electricity to comfort units such as radio and TV. Idling is an inefficient and unfavorable process resulting in increased fuel consumption, increased emissions, shortened engine life, impaired driver rest and health, and elevated noise. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microstructural Changes in Deactivated Noble Metal Catalysts

    Author : Bertil Stenbom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The structural deactivation of supported noble metal catalysts has been investigated for treatments at different temperatures and in different atmospheres. The sintering rates of Pt/Al2O3, Rh/Al2O3, and Pt-Rh/Al2O3 catalysts were measured using temperature-programmed desorption of CO (CO-TPD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). READ MORE

  7. 5. Study of bio-oil and bio-char production from thermal and catalytic hydrotreatment of simulated pyrolysis oil under mild conditions

    Author : Elham Nejadmoghadam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stabilization; soluble solid; alumina-supported catalyst; insoluble solid char; simulated pyrolysis oil; catalytic hydrotreatment;

    Abstract : Pyrolysis oil derived from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative energy source used to produce renewable biofuels. However, the high reactivity of unsaturated oxygenated compounds in pyrolysis oil results in charring and deactivation of the catalyst under severe hydrotreatment conditions. READ MORE
