ABSTRACT

The influence of a mild difluorine treatment on Cu/ZnO precatalysts for methanol synthesis was investigated. It led to the incorporation of 1.2…1.3±0.1 wt % fluoride into the material. Fluorination considerably increased the amount of ZnOx related defect sites on the catalysts and significantly increased the space-time yields. Although the apparent activation energy EA,app for methanol formation from CO2 and H2 was almost unchanged, the EA,app for the reverse water-gas shift (rWGS) reaction increased considerably. Overall, fluorination led to a significant gain in methanol selectivity and productivity. Apparently, also the quantity of active sites increased.

ABSTRACT

Oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEn ; CH3 (-OCH2 -)n O-CH3 , n=3-5) are a novel class of sustainable synthetic fuels, which are of increasing interest due to their soot-free combustion. Herein a novel anhydrous OMEn synthesis route is presented. Catalyzed by trimethyloxonium salts, dimethoxymethane takes up monomeric gaseous formaldehyde instantaneously and forms high purity OMEn at temperatures of 25-30 °C. This new anhydrous approach using molecular formaldehyde and catalytic amounts of highly active trimethyloxonium salts represents a promising new step towards a sustainable formation of OMEn emanating from CO2 and H2 .

ABSTRACT

The cloud point separation of Direct Yellow from micellar solution of various nonionic surfactants, containing a polyoxyethylene chain, was studied. The separation of dyes is an important environmental problem. Moreover, such separation can also be considered as a preliminary step for further studies of biochemical recovery. Some dyes can be considered as affinity ligands, which form complexes with biochemicals. The use of dye enabled the observation of the dynamics of surfactant-rich phase separation by means of a color video. It was found that the separation of phases was incomplete. The aqueous phase contained some amounts of surfactant globules with the dye. The surfactant-rich phase was usually more heterogenic than the aqueous phase. The recovery of Direct Yellow was very effective in the presence of electrolyte (NaCl). The distribution coefficients were high and equal to a few hundreds in the presence of sodium chloride. Under optimum conditions 98-99.9% of the dye could be removed in the one step.

ABSTRACT

Cloud point separation of selected dyes was studied. The use of dyes made possible observation of the dynamics of surfactant-rich phase separation by color video. The pictures were interpreted by means of ImageC software and degrees of whiteness were calculated. It was found that separation was slow and equilibrium was not achieved even after a period of more than 10 h. The separated surfactant-rich phase had a heterogeneous structure. The globules of the surfactant-rich phase were also observed in the micellar aqueous phase. The surfactant concentration could be as high as one or two orders of magnitude above the expected cmc values and was not decreased to critical micelle concentration by centrifugation. The presence of sodium chloride was important and improved separation. Separation of dyes was in the range 73-98% and depended upon the surfactant, the temperature, the electrolyte content, and the dye. In each system considered, appropriate conditions had to be selected to obtain high recovery of the dye. The presence of the electrolyte was the most important parameter and it improved the separation of dyes. However, addition of the electrolyte could also account for precipitation of the dyes, as observed for the systems containing Direct Pink. The best recoveries were observed for Direct Yellow and oxyethylated nonylphenol (98% at 55 degrees C in the presence of NaCl). Centrifugation gave recoveries similar to those for prolonged heating but it shortened the time of phase separation.
