The effect of La2O3 as a promoter on the stability of the catalyst, the amount of carbon formed, and the ratio of H2 to CO were investigated. In this study, we observed that promoting the catalyst with La2O3 enhanced catalyst activities. The conversions of the feed, i.e., methane and carbon dioxide, were in the order 10La2O3 > 15La2O3 > 20La2O3 > 0La2O3, with the highest conversions being about 60% and 70% for both CH4 and CO2 respectively.

  • The Combination of Calcium Oxide and Cu/Zro2 Catalyst and Their Selective Products for CO2 Hydrogenation
    Article The Combination of Calcium Oxide and Cu/ZrO2 Catalyst and their Selective Products for CO2 Hydrogenation Soipatta Soisuwan1,a,b,*, Wilasinee Wisaijorn1, Chalida Nimnul1, Orawan Maunghimapan1, and Piyasan Praserthdam2 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Burapha University, 169 Long-Hard Bangsaen Road, Saensuk Sub-District, Muang District, Chonburi, 20130, Thailand 2 Center of Excellence in Catalysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Phayathai Road, Pathuwan District, Bangkok 10330, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] (Corresponding author), [email protected] Abstract. The catalytic activities of Cu/ZrO2_CaO catalysts were investigated on CO2 hydrogenation. The CO2 hydrogenations were carried out over combination of calcium oxide and Cu/ZrO2 catalyst. Two calcination temperatures were chosen at 300 and 650 oC according to thermal decomposition results. The catalysts were characterized by means of N2 adsorption-desorption, H2 temperature programmed reduction and X-ray diffraction. The CO2 hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure and at 250 oC was carried out over copper-based catalysts combined with calcium oxide namely i.e. Cu/ZrO 2 _CaO300, Cu/ZrO 2 _CaO650, Cu/ZrO2_Cu/CaO and Cu/ZrO2+CaO. The catalytic activities over all catalysts were consistent for 4 hours. The catalytic reaction rates over copper-based catalysts were in the range of 21.8 – 47.4 mol L-1 s-1 g cat-1. The modification of calcium oxide can improve the catalytic activity of copper-based catalysts to 47.4 mol L-1 s-1 g cat-1. The calcination temperature can cause a difference in active species that impact on product selectivity.

  • Structural and Optical Properties of Yttrium Oxide Thin Films for Planar Waveguiding Applications
    Structural and optical properties of Yttrium Oxide thin films for planar waveguiding applications Stuart J. Pearce,a) Greg J. Parker,a) Martin D.B. Charlton,a) and James S. Wilkinson b) a) Electronic and Computer Science, Southampton University, SO17 1BJ b) Optoelectronics Research Center, Southampton University, SO17 1BJ Thin films of Yttrium Oxide, Y2O3 were deposited by reactive sputtering and reactive evaporation to determine their suitability as a host for a rare earth doped planar waveguide upconversion laser. The optical properties, structure and crystalline phase of the films were found to be dependent on the deposition method and process parameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis on the ‘as-deposited’ thin films revealed that the films vary from amorphous to highly crystalline with a strong peak along the <222> plane of Y2O3. The samples with the polycrystalline structure had a stoichometry close to bulk cubic Y2O3. SEM imaging revealed a regular column structure confirming their crystalline nature. The thin film layers which allowed guiding in both the visible and infra-red region had lower refractive indices, higher oxygen content and had a more amorphous structure. Higher oxygen pressures during the deposition leads to a more amorphous layer. PACS numbers: 68.55. J-, 78.66. -w, 81.15. -z, 42.82.Et, 78.20. -e INTRODUCTION Recently there has been considerable interest in fabrication and characterization of waveguide layers as solid-state laser host materials for use as optical amplifiers in telecommunications. These include Aluminum Oxide,1 Zirconium Oxide,2 Titanium Oxide,3 Scandium Oxide,4 and Yttrium Oxide.5-7 Planar waveguide lasers made with rare earth doped thin films are a desirable method to achieve high optical gain in a small and compact device.5 In selecting the most suitable material for a rare earth doped solid state waveguide laser, desirable properties for a host material include: low optical loss, low peak phonon energy, ability to be easily doped, and ability to waveguide at the pump and emission wavelengths.

  • W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. Lanthanum Chloride Product Stewardship
    W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. Lanthanum Chloride Product Stewardship Summary I. Overview Lanthanum chloride is used by Grace in the production of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalysts. Lanthanum is a rare earth element, one of a collection of 17 chemically similar elemental metals. Rare-earth minerals tend to be found mixed together in ore deposits that are mined then purified. Lanthanum is supplied to Grace in various forms including oxides, hydrates and carbonates. The value and use of the various rare-earth metals varies; lanthanum finds application in metal alloys, optical glass, batteries, electronics, and in FCC catalysts. FCC catalysts are typically composed of zeolites, silica, alumina, clay and a binder. The lanthanum in FCC catalysts is contained in the zeolite component of the catalyst. Grace converts the supplied form of lanthanum into lanthanum chloride, and does not commercially supply lanthanum chloride. II. Chemical Identity - Physical and Chemical Properties CAS number: 10099-58-8 EC number: 233-237-5 Molecular formula: LaCl3 Molecular weight: 245.264 Synonyms: lanthanum trichloride, lanthanum chloride anhydrous, Lanthanum (III) chloride; Lanthanum chloride hexahydrate; Lanthanum chloride heptahydrate Alternate CAS RNs: 17272-45-6 (hexahydrate); 20211-76-1 (heptahydrate) Physical-chemical properties Lanthanum chloride is an odorless solid in the form of a white powder Density: 3.84 g/cm3 at 25.0°C Melting Point: 852 °C Boiling Point: 1750 °C Solubility: 861.06 g/L at 20.0 °C and pH >= 2.51 <= 2.88 1 grace.com Talent | Technology | Trust™ III.
