  2. 1. Catalyst Deactivation by Coke Formation in Acetylene Hydrogenation

    Author : Staffan Asplund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; preparative liquid chromatography; gross error detection; acetylene hydrogenation; coke deposition; coke formation; catalyst deactivation;

    Abstract : Several aspects of catalyst deactivation have been studied with reference toselective acetylene hydrogenation, a reaction used industrially to purify ethylene from unwanted acetylene. A mathematical model has been developed for an industrial packed-bed reactor, employing a supported Pd catalyst. READ MORE

  5. 3. Coke on Supported Palladium and Platinum Catalysts

    Author : Mikael Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TPO; palladium; deactivation; coke; propane dehydrogenation; microbalance; vegetable oil hydrogenation; acetylene hydrogenation; catalysis; platinum;

    Abstract : Catalyst deactivation by coke formation has been investigated in three heterogeneous catalytic processes, propane dehydrogenation, acetylene hydrogenation and hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Palladium and/or platinum supported on alumina were used as catalysts in all reactions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Monolith Reactors in Three-Phase Processes

    Author : Rolf Edvinsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; desulfurization; methanol synthesis; acetylene hydrogenation; Taylor flow; monolith reactor; three-phase; computational fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : The use of monoliths in chemical processes has been studied with the emphasis on liquid-phase hydrogenations. A monolithic catalyst consists of many narrow, parallel channels with catalytically active species either incorporated into the wall itself or into a layer of a porous oxide deposited on the wall (a washcoat).

  7. 5. Kinetics of Nanoparticle Catalysis from First Principles

    Author : Mikkel Jørgensen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional Theory; Mean field approximation; Acetylene hydrogenation; Kinetic Monte Carlo; CO oxidation; Entropy; Methane oxidation; Heterogeneous catalysis; Kinetic modeling; Nanoparticles;

    Abstract : Modern society depends heavily on heterogeneous catalysis, which creates strong economical and environmental incentives to improve catalyst efficiency. Heterogeneous catalysts are often realized as metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxide surfaces, and catalysts are traditionally developed by trial and error approaches. READ MORE
