Abstract. A method is described for the production of a magnetically separable photocatalyst, which consists of porous activated carbon, iron oxide particles and anatase titania particles. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM and vibrating sample magnetometry. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was determined by degrading model contaminated water, a phenol aqueous s…
Abstract. Ni catalysts promoted with 0.5 and 1.0 wt% boron were synthesized, characterized and tested during steam methane reforming, to evaluate the effect of boron on the deactivation behavior. Boron adsorbs on the γ -Al2O3 support and on the Ni particles and 1.0 wt% boron is found to enhance the stability without compromising the activity. Catalytic studies at 800 ◦C, 1 atm, a stoichi…
Many states have passed child access prevention (CAP) laws, which hold the gun owner responsible if a child gains access to a gun that is not securely stored. Previous research on CAP laws has focused exclusively on gun-related deaths even though most gun injuries are not fatal. We use annual hospital discharge data to investigate whether CAP laws are associated with decreased nonfatal gun inju…
