Article Synopsis
  • Different ratios of palladium-cerium oxide (Pd/CeO) catalysts were synthesized and tested for their ability to degrade Bisphenol A (BPA) in water, showing that the 0.25Pd/CeO catalyst had the best performance due to optimal Pd dispersion and small crystal size.
  • When using this catalyst with ultrasound, BPA degradation efficiency improved significantly, achieving 95% degradation in just 60 minutes, with a notable increase in the destruction rate compared to ultrasound alone.
  • The study identified several transformation products of BPA and indicated that while most had lower toxicity than BPA, some still posed risks, suggesting a complex ecological impact of these by-products.

The CO-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODP) was investigated over titania based composite metal oxides, 10% MO-TiO (M: Zr, Ce, Ca, Cr, Ga). It was found that the surface basicity of composite metal oxides was significantly higher than that of bare TiO and varied in a manner which depended strongly on the nature of the MO modifier. The addition of metal oxides on the TiO surface resulted in a significant improvement of catalytic performance induced by a synergetic interaction between MO and TiO support.

The propane steam reforming (PSR) reaction was investigated over catalysts derived from LaNiO (LN), LaSrNiO (LSN), and noble metal-substituted LNM and LSNM (M = Ru, Rh; = 0.01, 0.1) perovskites.

In the present work, the sonocatalytic degradation of butylparaben was investigated using Pd immobilized on carbon black as the sonocatalyst. The presence of 25 mg/L 10Pd/C significantly increased the removal rate of butylparaben and the observed kinetic constant increased from 0.0126 to 0.
