Properties of Al 2 O 3 -and TuO 2 -supported palladium catalysts modifi ed with calcium oxide were studied. Catalyst samples 2% Pd/CaO-TiO 2 and 2% Pd/CaO-Al 2 O 3 were examined by the methods of temperatureprogrammed reduction in a fl ow of hydrogen, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and carbon(IV) oxide, and X-ray diffraction analysis.
This work describes a novel heterogeneous oxidation catalyst which is analogous to the homogeneous-phase Fentons reagent for the successful destruction of a range of organic pollutants. The catalyst is a polyacrylonitrile fibre which was modified to incorporate ligating groups, resulting in a transition metal cation being firmly fixed onto the fibre. The novelty of the catalyst resides in its open-knit mesh structure. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the catalyst containing ferric ions (as the active site) is shown to rapidly decompose phenol in addition to (a) the anthraquinone dyes: acid blue 45, carminic acid and reactive blue 19, and (b) the azo-dye drimarine red K&. The decomposition reaction was followed by ultraviolet spectroscop): and the distribution of ferric ions on the external surface of the fibre was examined by a scanning electron microscope. The mechanical properties of the fibre were found to have decreased on modification but were still sufficient for the manufacture and commercial exploitation of the fibre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
