Abstract:
One of the most prominent features of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx is using a well-structured catalyst to advance the reaction in a desirable condition. At the present work, various crystal structures of Fe-Mn nanocatalysts, FeMn2O4 spinel, FeMnO3 perovskite and Fe2O3 (hematite)/Mn2O3 (bixbyite) nanocatalysts fabricated by co-precipitation method were evaluated for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3 (NH3-SCR). The studies specified that the crystal structure type had a high impact on structural properties and thereby the catalytic performance of the samples. The physicochemical characteristics of the nanocatalysts including molar ratio of metals, phase composition, crystallite size, particle size distribution, specific surface area, average pore diameter, pore volume, agglomeration degree, and amount and strength of the acidic site on the catalysts surfaces have been distinguished. From the catalytic activity evaluation, it was identified that the perovskite nanocatalyst had the best performance in NH3-SCR reaction.

02:17Reduction 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...

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.

02:24Reduction 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.
