Method They investigated synthesized three catalysts with various compositions (NiO, MgO, and Al2O3).Those demonstrated high CH4 conversion in dry reforming reaction.
3 Chang et al[12]
Stud. Surf. Sci. Catal., 84, 1994. solid-state reaction They researched two methods to prove catalytic activity (solid-state reaction and incipient wetness method) the results show the KNiCa/ZSI catalyst was produced by incipient wetness method gave much less activity than the one prepared by solid-state. That could be melting effect of metallic precursor mixtures.

It is found that the influence of support (metal oxides) on the efficiency of the catalyst as order TiO2 > Al2O3 > SiO2 for coupling CO2 with the CH4 conversion. On the other hand, the turnover frequency for CH4 conversion, the order of performance was TiO2 > Al2O3 > SiO2. It was deduced that the synergetic effect of metal oxides might be due to a direct activation of CH4 or CO2 by metal oxides and the difference of particle size of the metal.[16]

6.2.4. Carbon formation and activity
Deposition of carbon is assigned to from the CO2 molecular route, but a minimal amount of carbon deposited on catalyst surface is derived from the CH4 molecular direction.56,60 There are types of carbonaceous in which has different reactivity (α-C,β-C, and γ-C).

    Figure 8. shows the response of the carbon chain atoms triglycerides to an infrared radiance, which the fuel with the catalyst responds faster to the transmitted heat is around 31% T, and the fuel without the catalyst is around 40% T. These results indicated that the atom's bond in triglyceride chain is weakened, the viscosity decreases and the fuel readily absorb heat. Moreover, the highest temperatures achieved (see fig 3) and the shorter burnout time (see fig 6) prove that the fuel with the catalyst has a great…

    The change in the reaction mixture occurred when the temperature got to a 100˚C. The mixture had turned a very dark color. The mixture started out blue and it changed to an almost black color. The mixture was continued to heat for an additional 5 minutes and then it was cooled down to room temperature. When the reaction mixture was cooled, solids started to form on the sides of the beaker.…

    The reaction mechanisms for bromination and nitration of toluene are indicated in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The meta-bromotoluene and meta-nitrotoluene did not really form compared to the para-bromotoluene and para-nitrotoluene, which yielded the most product, because it did not form the most stable resonance structure with the carbocation at the methyl attachment like para-bromotoluene and para-nitrotoluene. On the other hand, ortho-bromotoluene and ortho-nitrotoluene has the same mechanism as para-nitrotoluene. The bromination of toluene resulted in a yield of 0.790 g (4.62 mmol, 46.2%) major products and para-bromotoluene and ortho-bromotoluene, while the nitration of toluene had a yield of 0.646 g (4.71 mmol, 51.3%) para-bromotoluene and…

    An alternative to using the phase transfer catalyst would be microwave irradiation. Simple CH-acidic compounds can be mono-alkylated in the solid-liquid phase in the absence of PTC, by applying microwave under solvent-free conditions. The experiment would involve exposing reactants to microwave irradiation in conjunction with the use of supported reagents which are of mineral origin, like mineral oxides (Fe(NO3), Cu(NO3)2). Microwave reaction involves selective absorption of microwave energy by polar molecules. The initial experiment with microwave energy would be using high dielectric solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide.…

    Equilibrium between octahedral and tetrahedral coordination complexes of Co2+ in solution is established with constant equilibrium K unless the temperature changes. When the concentrations of reactants and products are changed, the equilibrium position shifts to reduce any disturbance and reestablish the equilibrium. The color change of the mixture of CoCl2, methanol and 2-propanol depending on their concentration is an evidence the shift of equilibrium. By adding more methanol to the equilibrium mixtures causes dark blue 2-propanol solution turns into a lighter blue. As stated previously, equilibrium constant only changes with temperature changes.…

    Discussion Graph 1 displays the reaction time (in minutes) of how long it took for the Alka-Seltzer tablet to completely dissolve per trial. Graph 2 displays the averages of the reaction time which showed the higher the water temperature is, the faster the reaction time would be. At 65⁰C the average time for the Alka-Seltzer to completely dissolve was 1 minute 4 seconds followed by 1 minute 20 seconds at 35⁰C and ending with the highest average at 2 minutes 1 second (1.61). The hypothesis stated that hot water temperature would make the Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolve the fastest.…

    Original Proposal Methane hydrate formation by using coffee waste April, 2015 Wenxi Huang Florida International University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Advisor: Dr. Rudolf Jaffé 1. Introduction Natural gas hydrate (NGH) has been considered as a possible alternative for transporting natural gas because of its lower capital cost when comparing with liquefied natural gas (Javanmardi, et al., 2005). Methane is the main component in natural gas (Engineering Data Book, 2004). Therefore, improving the formation of methane hydrate could help to further improve the NGH.…

    Benzocaine was synthesized from p-toluidine in a four step synthesis. Each intermediate product, including N-acetyl-p-toluidine, p-acetamidobenzoic acid, and p-aminobenzoic acid, was checked for yield, presence, and purity through weighing, taking IR and NMR spectrums, and determining the melting point. Thin Layer Chromatography was used to ensure the completion of the final reaction from p-aminobenzoic acid to benzocaine. The yield of the first step from p-toluidine to N-acetyl-p-toluidine was 91.9%. The yield of the second step from N-acetyl-p-toluidine to p-acetamidobenzoic acid was 49.85% The yield of the third step from p-acetamidobenzoic acid to p-aminobenzoic acid was 32.49%, which was not enough to continue so some product was borrowed…

    The Calorimetric Determination of Enthalpy and Entropy Changes of the Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Sulphate Decahydrate Abstract Sodium sulphate decahydrate thermally decomposes to anhydrous sodium sulphate at 50⁰ C and cools to form anhydrous sodium sulphate. Using Hess's Law the enthalpy and entropy changes of this process can be determined in order to deduce the spontaneity of the reaction. The transition temperature was determined by melting the hydrated crystals at 50⁰ C and allowing them to cool until a constant temperature was reached. The molar enthalpy and molar entropy changes were determined using calorimetric principles. Different weights of both decahydrate and anhydrous crystals were added to water and the temperature changes…
