CVD-Synthesis of N-CNT Using Propane and Ammonia.

N-CNT is a promising material for various applications, including catalysis, electronics, etc., whose widespread use is limited by the significant cost of production. CVD-synthesis using a propane-ammonia mixture is one of the cost-effective processes for obtaining carbon nanomaterials.

Intensification of Dry Reforming of Methane on Membrane Catalyst: Confirmation and Development of the Hypothesis.

This article presents an analysis of kinetic studies of dry methane reforming (DRM) in a reactor with a membrane catalyst (RMC) in the modes of a contactor with "diffusion" and "forced" mass transfer. Comparison of the specific rate constants of the methane dissociation reaction in membrane and traditional reactors confirmed the phenomenon of intensification of dry methane reforming in a membrane catalyst (MC). It has been experimentally established that during DRM, a temperature gradient arises in the channels of the pore structure of the membrane catalyst, characterized by a decrease in temperature towards the inner volume of the MC, and initiates the phenomenon of thermal slip.

Transport Reagents through the Pore Structure of a Membrane Catalyst under Isothermal and Non-Isothermal Conditions.

The article presents the results of an experimental comparison of methane transport in the pore structure of a membrane catalyst under isothermal and non-isothermal Knudsen diffusion conditions. It is shown that under the conditions of non-isothermal Knudsen diffusion in the pore structure of the membrane catalyst, there is a coupling of dry reforming of the methane (DRM) and gas transport, which leads to the intensification of this process. The reasons for the intensification are changes in the mechanism of gas transport, an increase in the rate of mass transfer, and changes in the mechanism of some stages of the DRM.

Simple Synthesis of Molybdenum Carbides from Molybdenum Blue Nanoparticles.

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the development of a new flexible and variable method for molybdenum carbide (MoC) synthesis. This work reports the applicability of nano-size clusters of molybdenum blue to molybdenum carbide production by thermal treatment of molybdenum blue xerogels in an inert atmosphere. The method developed made it possible to vary the type (glucose, hydroquinone) and content of the organic reducing agent (molar ratio R/Mo).

Synthesis of Microporous MoC-WC Binary Carbides by Thermal Decomposition of Molybdenum-Tungsten Blues.

Molybdenum and tungsten carbides are perspective catalytic systems. Their activity in many reactions is comparable to the activity of platinum group metals. The development of the synthesis method for of highly dispersed binary molybdenum and tungsten carbides is an important task.

Synthesis of MoC by Thermal Decomposition of Molybdenum Blue Nanoparticles.

In recent years, the development of methods for the synthesis of MoC for catalytic application has become especially important. In this work a series of MoC samples was synthesized by thermal decomposition of molybdenum blue xerogels obtained using ascorbic acid. The influence of the molar ratio reducing agent/Mo [R]/[Mo] on morphology, phase composition and characteristics of the porous structure of MoC has been established.
