Abstract:
The streams of waste gases containing NO from industries would cause seriously pollution on the environment if they are directly discharged without further purification. The property of removal of NO from the waste gas at lower temperature performed on platinum catalyst by reduction with NH3 was investigated. Experimental study showed that the precious catalyst, platinum, had good activity at low temperature and high selectivity of catalytic removal of NO from the waste gas by ammonia. However, its performance was affected by the sulfur compound, SO2, which was present in the waste gas. Results indicated that the performance of platinum supported catalyst could be improved with addition of lanthanides on it. The suitable compositions of the modified catalyst were 1:3.78:3.56 molar ratio of Pt:La:Ce in the experiment.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the surface of...
