Comparative Study Of Selective Co Oxidation Over Pt-Co-M/Al_2o_3 Catalysts (M=Ce, Mg, Mn, Zr, Fe) In Hydrogen-Rich Streams: Effects Of A Second Promoter, K. Erdem Uğuz, Ramazan Yildirim Jan 2009

Comparative Study Of Selective Co Oxidation Over Pt-Co-M/Al_2o_3 Catalysts (M=Ce, Mg, Mn, Zr, Fe) In Hydrogen-Rich Streams: Effects Of A Second Promoter, K. Erdem Uğuz, Ramazan Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The selective CO oxidation over Pt-Co/Al_2O_3 catalyst in hydrogen-rich streams was studied in the presence of Ce, Mg, Mn, Ze, and Fe as the second promoters. The catalysts were prepared using incipient to wetness co-impregnation, and tested in a microflow reaction system. The effects of the second promoter were investigated in near 100% CO conversion conditions both in the absence and presence of CO_2 and H_2O in the feed. 100% CO conversion was obtained with the addition of each second promoter at 110 °C while Pt-Co/Al_2O_3 catalyst had 96%-98% CO conversion. It was also found that changing the Pt ratio …

Performance Analysis For Direct 2-Propanol Fuel-Cell Based On Pt Containing Anode Electrocatalysts, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan, Ezgi̇ Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Direct 2-propanol cell performance based on Pt containing anode electrocatalyst was evaluated. Cell performance, open circuit voltage, maximum current density, and maximum power density were measured at various alcohol concentrations and cell temperatures. 2-propanol fuel cell shows the highest performance at 1 M concentration and 80 °C operating temperature. The highest practical efficiency (at the maximum power density) was found at 2 M 2-propanol concentration and 60 °C operating temperature. Parameter estimation was performed by non-linear least squares method using the Levenberg Marquardt algorithm. According to the parametric analysis, cross-over current was minimum for 0.5 M 2-propanol concentration at 40 …
