Sheaf-like CeO (CeO-S) in microscale was prepared by the hydrothermal method, and then etched with KOH aiming to obtain an imperfect fluorite structure (CeO-SK) with high content of oxygen vacancies and oxygen mobility. With CeO-S and CeO-SK as supports respectively, a modified colloidal deposition method was employed to obtain Pd/CeO catalysts for being used in lean methane combustion. According to the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), N physisorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, the Pd supported catalysts are very similar in their Pd loading, surface area and morphologies. SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results revealed various nanorods exposed CeO (110) and (100) facets on Pd/CeO-SK surface after KOH etching. Raman spectra and H-temperature programmed reduction (H-TPR) results indicated that Pd/CeO-SK catalyst has a much higher content of catalytic active PdO species than Pd/CeO-S catalyst. It was also found that the catalytic performance of Pd/CeO in lean methane combustion depends greatly upon the exposing crystal planes and oxygen vacancies content of sheaf-like CeO, and Pd/CeO-SK exhibits higher activity than Pd/CeO-S. The larger amount of CeO (110) and (100) planes on Pd/CeO-SK surface can enhance the formation of oxygen vacancies, active Pd species and migration of lattice oxygen, which all evidently improve the redox ability and catalytic activity of the Pd/CeO-SK catalysts in lean methane combustion.

Polyethylene hydrogenolysis by dilute RuPt alloy to achieve H-pressure-independent low methane selectivity.

Chemical recycling of plastic waste could reduce its environmental impact and create a more sustainable society. Hydrogenolysis is a viable method for polyolefin valorization but typically requires high hydrogen pressures to minimize methane production. Here, we circumvent this stringent requirement using dilute RuPt alloy to suppress the undesired terminal C-C scission under hydrogen-lean conditions.

Here, we demonstrate an integrated semibatch simultaneous CO capture and conversion to methanol process using a water-lean solvent, -(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine (2-EEMPA), that serves as both the capture solvent and subsequent condensed-phase medium for the catalytic hydrogenation of CO. CO is captured from simulated coal-derived flue gas at a target >90 mol % capture efficiency, with a continuous slipstream of CO-rich solvent delivered to a fixed bed catalytic reactor for catalytic hydrogenation. A single-pass conversion rate >60 C-mol % and selectivity >80 C-mol % are observed for methanol at relatively low temperatures (<200 °C) in the condensed phase of the carbon capture solvent.

Methane, as the primary component of natural gas, is a vital energy resource extensively utilized through oxidation reactions. These reactions yield diverse radicals and molecules via varying intermediate reaction routes, contingent upon the oxidation conditions. In this study, we employ reactive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the early-stage mechanism of methane oxidation across different temperatures and methane/oxygen conditions.

The City of Montreal has committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. To meet this commitment, the city has adopted the Climate Plan 2020-2030, which includes the treatment of landfill gas (LFG). Within this framework, this research aimed to investigate the efficiency of a biofilter designed to treat high volumes of low-concentration LFG collected from lateral trenches at the Complexe Environnemental de Saint-Michel (CESM) in Montreal.

The permeability of methane in coal is a crucial factor in the production of coal-bed methane (CBM), which is dependent on the pore size distribution (PSD) of coal. The transverse relaxation time cutoff value () is a crucial parameter in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques for converting NMR data into an absolute PSD. To investigate an appropriate approach for predicting the and permeability of different rank coals, this study first revealed, through centrifuge experiments with a centrifugal force of 1.
