Suppression of spatiotemporal chaos in the oscillatory CO oxidation on Pt(110) by focused laser light

Chemical turbulence in the oscillatory catalytic CO oxidation on Pt(110) is suppressed by means of focused laser light. The laser locally heats the platinum surface which leads to a local increase of the oscillation frequency, and to the formation of a pacemaker which emits target waves. These waves slowly entrain the medium and suppress the spatiotemporal chaos present in the absence of laser light. Our experimental results are confirmed by a detailed numerical analysis of one- and two-dimensional media using the Krischer-Eiswirth-Ertl model for CO oxidation on Pt110. Different control regimes are identified and the dispersion relation of the system is determined using the pacemaker as an externally tunable wave source.

Propene combustion over a model Pt/Al2O3/NiAl{110} catalyst

The genesis of a catalytically active model Pt/Al2O3/NiAl{110} oxidation catalyst is described. An ultrathin, crystalline γ-Al2O3 film was prepared via direct oxidation of a NiAl{110} single-crystal substrate. The room-temperature deposition of Pt clusters over the γ-Al2O3 film was characterised by LEED, AES and CO titration and follows a Stranski–Krastanov growth mode. Surface sulfation was attempted via SO2/O2 adsorption and thermal processing over bare and Pt promoted Al2O3/NiAl{110}. Platinum greatly enhances the saturation SOx coverage over that of bare alumina. Over clean Pt/γ-Al2O3 surfaces some adsorbed propene desorbs molecularly [similar]250 K while the remainder decomposes liberating hydrogen. Coadsorbed oxygen or sulfate promote propene combustion, with adsorbed sulfoxy species the most efficient oxidant. The chemistry of these alumina-supported Pt clusters shows a general evolution from small polycrystalline clusters to larger clusters with properties akin to low-index, Pt single-crystal surfaces.

Catalytic supercritical water gasification of plastics with supported RuO2:a potential solution to hydrocarbons-water pollution problem

Here we report on a potential catalytic process for efficient clean-up of plastic pollution in waters, such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (CPGP). Detailed catalytic mechanisms of RuO2 during supercritical water gasification of common polyolefin plastics including low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PP), have been investigated in a batch reactor at 450 °C, 60 min. All four plastics gave very high carbon gasification efficiencies (CGE) and hydrogen gasification efficiencies (HGE). Methane was the highest gas component, with a yield of up to 37 mol kg−1LDPE using the 20 wt% RuO2 catalyst. Evaluation of the gas yields, CGE and HGE revealed that the conversion of PS involved thermal degradation, steam reforming and methanation; whereas hydrogenolysis was a possible additional mechanism during the conversion of aliphatic plastics. The process has the benefits of producing a clean-pressurized methane-rich fuel gas as well as cleaning up hydrocarbons-polluted waters.

Supercritical water gasification of RDF and its components over RuO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst:new insights into RuO2 catalytic reaction mechanisms

Five samples including a composite refuse derived fuel (RDF) and four combustible components of municipal solid wastes (MSW) have been reacted under supercritical water conditions in a batch reactor. The reactions have been carried out at 450 °C for 60 min reaction time, with or without 20 wt% RuO2/gamma-alumina catalyst. The reactivities of the samples depended on their compositions; with the plastic-rich samples, RDF and mixed waste plastics (MWP), giving similar product yields and compositions, while the biogenic samples including mixed waste wood (MWW) and textile waste (TXT) also gave similar reaction products. The use of the heterogeneous ruthenium-based catalyst gave carbon gasification efficiencies (CGE) of up to 99 wt%, which was up by at least 83% compared to the non-catalytic tests. In the presence of RuO2 catalyst, methane, hydrogen and carbon dioxide became the dominant gas products for all five samples. The higher heating values (HHV) of the gas products increased at least two-fold in the presence of the catalyst compared to non-catalytic tests. Results show that the ruthenium-based catalyst was active in feedstock steam reforming, methanation and possible direct hydrogenolysis of C-C bonds. This work provides new insights into the catalytic mechanisms of RuO2 during SCWG of carbonaceous materials, along with the possibility of producing high yields of methane from MSW fractions.

Efecto de la fuente y nivel de zinc en el comportamiento productivo de machos no castrados (40-110 kg) y su relación con el comportamiento sexual

El uso de fuentes de Zn (orgánicas e inorgánicas) en el pienso de cerdos prepúberes se ha mostrado indispensable, ya que este mineral ha evidenciado beneficios relacionados con aspectos reproductivos, respuesta inmunitaria, estado de salud, ganancia de peso, consumo de pienso. Los primeros estudios que identificaron al Zn como componente fundamental en la reproducción fueron en la década de los 40´s, en donde se estableció la importancia de este mineral en el desarrollo de las células de Leydig, a partir de estos descubrimientos se recomienda la utilización del mineral en el pienso de los cerdos. Sin embargo, las recomendaciones que se han hecho para apoyar el efecto del Zn en la reproducción, fueron identificadas hace 30 años, y poco se ha estudiado desde entonces con respecto al nivel de Zn que habría que incluir en el pienso. Por otra parte, la industria alimenticia animal ha desarrollado fuentes minerales con mayor biodisponibilidad, por un lado para que el organismo pueda utilizarlo más rápida y eficientemente (>biodisponibilidad) y por otra parte para evitar que el mineral consumido por el animal, se pierda a través de las deyecciones, asegurando con ello no solo la reducción de las pérdidas económicas, sino la minimización del impacto ambiental que el Zn ejerce negativamente. De esta manera, se decidió realizar una investigación que proporcionara información sobre el efecto de las fuentes y niveles de Zn, en la eficiencia de crecimiento y desarrollo de cerdos prepúberes y verracos jóvenes, en el desarrollo de los testículos y sus estructuras celulares, así como en el comportamiento sexual de los verracos jóvenes. Para lo anterior se utilizaron 50 cerdos de la línea genética York x Landrace, con un peso medio inicial de 35±1.25, estos animales se distribuyeron en siete tratamientos, los cuales correspondieron a dietas formuladas con y sin la adición de fuente de Zn (ZnSO4, ZnO, ZnMet) , y a dos niveles (150ppm y 200ppm de Zn). La dieta base fue formulada utilizando la tabla de necesidades nutritivas del FEDNA (2006). Todos los cerdos fueron colocados en jaulas individuales, con comedero y bebedero individual. Se les dio un periodo de adaptación de 15 días, posteriormente se inició la fase experimental en la que se midió el consumo de pienso (CDP), conversión alimenticia (CA), ganancia de peso (GDP), al finalizar el periodo de crianza (Crecimiento, Desarrollo y Finalización) y los cerdos llegaron a un peso mayor a 100Kg, se sacrificaron tres cerdos, de los cuales se obtuvieron los testículos, epidídimos, bazo, páncreas, hueso (fémur), hígado y riñones, para analizar a través de Espectrofotometría de Absorción Atómica la concentración de Zn...

Charge compensation and Ce3+ formation in trivalent doping of the CeO2(110) surface: The key role of dopant ionic radius

In this paper, we use density functional theory corrected for on-site Coulomb interactions (DFT + U) and hybrid DFT (HSE06 functional) to study the defects formed when the ceria (110) surface is doped with a series of trivalent dopants, namely, Al3+, Sc3+, Y3+, and In 3+. Using the hybrid DFT HSE06 exchange-correlation functional as a benchmark, we show that doping the (110) surface with a single trivalent ion leads to formation of a localized MCe / + O O • (M = the 3+ dopant), O- hole state, confirming the description found with DFT + U. We use DFT + U to investigate the energetics of dopant compensation through formation of the 2MCe ′ +VO ̈ defect, that is, compensation of two dopants with an oxygen vacancy. In conjunction with earlier work on La-doped CeO2, we find that the stability of the compensating anion vacancy depends on the dopant ionic radius. For Al3+, which has the smallest ionic radius, and Sc3+ and In3+, with intermediate ionic radii, formation of a compensating oxygen vacancy is stable. On the other hand, the Y3+ dopant, with an ionic radius close to that of Ce4+, shows a positive anion vacancy formation energy, as does La3+, which is larger than Ce4+ (J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 2010, 20, 135004). When considering the resulting electronic structure, in Al3+ doping, oxygen hole compensation is found. However, Sc 3+, In3+, and Y3+ show the formation of a reduced Ce3+ cation and an uncompensated oxygen hole, similar to La3+. These results suggest that the ionic radius of trivalent dopants strongly influences the final defect formed when doping ceria with 3+ cations. In light of these findings, experimental investigations of these systems will be welcome.

Thermal conductivity of ODP Leg 110 holes

Thirty-four sediment and mudline temperatures were collected from six drill holes on ODP Leg 110 near the toe of the Barbados accretionary complex. When combined with thermal conductivity measurements these data delineate the complicated thermal structure on the edge of this convergent margin. Surface heat-flow values from Leg 110 (calculated from geothermal gradients forced through the bottom-water temperature at mudline) of 92 to 192 mW/m**2 are 80% to 300% higher than values predicted by standard heat flow vs. age models for oceanic crust, but are compatible with earlier surface measurements made at the same latitude. Measured heat flow tends to decrease downhole at four sites, suggesting the presence of heat sources within the sediments. These results are consistent with the flow of warm fluid through the complex along sub-horizontal, high-permeability conduits, including thrust faults, the major decollement zone, and sandy intervals. Simple calculations suggest that this flow is transient, occurring on time scales of tens to tens of thousands of years. High heat flow in the vicinity of 15°30'N and not elsewhere along the deformation front suggests that the Leg 110 drill sites may be situated over a fluid discharge zone, with dewatering more active here than elsewhere along the accretionary complex.

Isolating the photovoltaic junction: atomic layer deposited TiO2-RuO2 alloy Schottky contacts for silicon photoanodes

We synthesized nanoscale TiO2-RuO2 alloys by atomic layer deposition (ALD) that possess a high work function and are highly conductive. As such, they function as good Schottky contacts to extract photogenerated holes from n-type silicon while simultaneously interfacing with water oxidation catalysts. The ratio of TiO2 to RuO2 can be precisely controlled by the number of ALD cycles for each precursor. Increasing the composition above 16% Ru sets the electronic conductivity and the metal work function. No significant Ohmic loss for hole transport is measured as film thickness increases from 3 to 45 nm for alloy compositions >= 16% Ru. Silicon photoanodes with a 2 nm SiO2 layer that are coated by these alloy Schottky contacts having compositions in the range of 13-46% Ru exhibit average photovoltages of 525 mV, with a maximum photovoltage of 570 mV achieved. Depositing TiO2-RuO2 alloys on nSi sets a high effective work function for the Schottky junction with the semiconductor substrate, thus generating a large photovoltage that is isolated from the properties of an overlying oxygen evolution catalyst or protection layer.
