  2. 1. New Materials in Environmental Catalysis

    Author : Magnus Skoglundh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cobalt; Copper; Xylene oxidation; Platinum; Carbon monoxide oxidation; exhaust gas catalysis; Rhodium; Palladium; Nitric oxide reduction; perovskites;

    Abstract : This thesis presents new approaches to the control of emissions within the field of environmental catalysis. Three catalytic systems; bimetallic catalysts, perovskites and promoted catalysts have been prepared and evaluated for complete oxidation of volatile organic compounds and for simultaneous conversion of CO, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.

  4. 2. Treatment of organic pollutants in high salinity wastewater : new catalysis systems

    Author : Han Yu; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; High salinity wastewater; Electrochemical catalysis; Photo-electro catalysis; Degradation;

    Abstract : High salinity wastewater (HSW, NaCl mass fraction ≥ 1%) from industries and aquacultures contains massive organic matters with a wide variety. These organic matters have been considered as significant threaten to both human and environment. The removal and degradation of them before discharge emerge as necessity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synthesis and functionalization of zeolites for NH3-SCR applications

    Author : Alexander Shishkin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NH3-SCR; NOx reduction; Environmental catalysis; hydrothermal synthesis.; exhaust aftertreatment; zeolite functionalization;

    Abstract : In the strive towards decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from the growing transport sector, the interest for more fuel-efficient combustion engines operating under lean (oxygen excess) conditions has increased. The combustion products, however, formed in such engines contribute considerably to air pollution. READ MORE

  6. 4. Catalyst Design for the Valorisation of Biomass-derived Furans into Aromatics

    Author : Guido J.L. de Reijer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aromatics; 2; 5-dimethylfuran; gallium; biomass; furans; production of aromatics; zeolites; biomass conversion; catalysis;

    Abstract : Anno 2023, mankind must strive towards a more sustainable chemical industry; one that does not solely rely on fossil fuels but also utilises renewable feedstocks such as biomass. Biomass can be catalytically converted into commodity chemicals such as aromatics, through intermediates like furans. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Character of Active Sites in Copper Exchanged Zeolites during NH3-SCR

    Author : Lin Chen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cu-SSZ-13; SSIE; O2-dissociation; Al-distribution; NH3-SCR; Chabazite; O2-activation;

    Abstract : Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are formed during combustion in diesel engines and one current approach to reduce NOx to N2 is selective catalytic reduction with NH3 as reducing agent (NH3-SCR). To acquire both high activity and selectivity, the active site is often atomically dispersed metal atom, so-called single-site catalysts. READ MORE
