Abstract. Ru + Ag/US-Y and Ru + Co/US-Y based catalysts have been studied for their catalytic activity towards N2O decomposition, a reaction of current environmental importance. Ruthenium-cobalt based catalyst shows higher catalytic activity than the ruthenium-silver-based catalyst. Almost 90% conversion ofN2O is achieved over Ru + Co/US-Y at 583 Kwith amaximumof 0.134 mmol of N2O decompose…
Abstract. The sulfated zirconia project was carried out in order to obtain a broad understanding of the preparation, characterization, and application of the solid superacids of sulfated zirconia. The sulfated zirconia catalysts were prepared by the equilibrium adsorption method and the ammonium sulfate kneading method using the reference catalysts JRC-ZRO-2, -3, -4, and -5, supplied by the…
Removal of toxic substances from wastewaters using low-cost alternatives to activated carbon is an important area in environmental sciences. Efforts have been made to convert a fertilizer waste and a steel industry waste into low-cost potential adsorbents. The developed products have been used for the removal of 2-aminophenol from aqueous solutions and wastewaters. Studies were conducted to …
