On choosing the most appropriate catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuels and other commodities, and on the environmentally benign processing of renewable and nonrenewable feedstocks

Abstract

Until recently the drive to discover and utilize renewable feedstocks for the production of energy and for the manufacture of materials was exceptionally strong.

Selection of catalysts for the process of oxidative condensation of methane using the intelligent decision support system

“…Можна навести й іншу роботу [3], яка присвячена основним аспектам цієї тематики; але звертається і до інших важливих питань, серед яких особливий інтерес представляють наступні. Перший аспект це -як зробити каталітичний крекінг більш екологічно прийнятним.…”

Reflections on the value of electron microscopy in the study of heterogeneous catalysts

“…Examples are shown in figures 9 and 10. Details of these studies are given in the work of Flyzani-Stephanopoulos et al [31,32,36,37] of Zhang et al [27][28][29][30] and Perez-Ramirez and co-workers [34], see also Christopher et al [38] and Thomas & Leary [39] From these studies, it is quite clear that individual atoms of the platinum group metals are the active centres for catalytic turnover. (We note, in passing, that in many of the reactions for which nanoparticles of Au on various supports are the catalysts, Fu et al [40,41] showed that the nanoparticles were spectator species, and that it was Au-O moieties that served as catalytically active centres.)…”
