Effect Of Promoter Type And Synthesis Method On Catalytic Performance Of Fe-Mn Based Ft-Olefin Catalysts, Gamze Gümüşlü Gür, Özge Ati̇k

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Direct production of light olefins, building blocks of chemical industry, can be attained by developing efficient catalysts for Fischer?Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The nature of FTS complicates the catalyst development process as the product distribution is affected by the components and the preparation methods of the catalyst. In this work, high-throughput (HT) methodology is employed to overcome this problem by testing many different catalyst formulations. Fast performance screening of 40 different α-Al2O3 supported Fe-Mn based catalysts promoted with Cu, K and Ni, using different impregnation agents, was performed in a HT test system at atmospheric pressure.

Oxygen Vacancies On Pd/Tio2 Are Detected At Low Pressures By Esr Spectroscopy At Ambient Temperatures, Deni̇z Üner, Meli̇s Yarar Jan 2022

Oxygen Vacancies On Pd/Tio2 Are Detected At Low Pressures By Esr Spectroscopy At Ambient Temperatures, Deni̇z Üner, Meli̇s Yarar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A low field benchtop electron spin resonance (ESR) (also referred to as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)) spectrometer is used to reveal paramagnetic centres such as oxygen vacancies and Ti+3 centres over 0.5%Pd/TiO2. The measurement was performed at room temperature after the sample was reduced in situ under mild hydrogen pressures and evacuated to P < 10-6 Torr. The measurement was possible due to a T1 compensation effect under vacuum: Correlation times at low pressures enabled sufficient line narrowing and detection of the ESR signal, justifying a method using benchtop spectrometers coupled to vacuum manifolds. The method justification was demonstrated using similar measurements performed on a reference compound, Mn(II) in plasticine: a measurement performed by saturation recovery technique revealed that T1 of the signal due to Mn(II) was smaller in vacuum than its atmosphere exposed counterpart. By applying vacuum, the ESR spectra of 0.5%Pd/TiO2 were collected at ambient temperatures, with features equivalent to the published data obtained at cryogenic temperatures.
