  1. 1. Stability improvement to a ruthenium catalyst for partial oxidation of methane

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Melker Axelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : catalysis; reaction engineering; kinetics; partial oxidation; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) is an energy-efficient alternative to steam reforming, the currently prevailing method for energy production from natural gas. Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB has developed a catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane into syngas, for use in solid oxide fuel cells. READ MORE

  3. 2. Linking the selectivity of varying surface phases of a real palladium catalyst toward specific methane oxidation pathways with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Ulrike Küst; [2023]
    Keywords : APXPS; catalysis; palladium; methane; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The study of heterogeneous catalysis, especially within methane oxidation, is of high importance in order to more efficiently remove unburned methane from bio-fuel exhausts. This is relevant as bio-fuel engines will replace those driven by fossil fuels in the coming decades. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of NiMo catalysts with noble metal promoters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Filip Hallböök; [2023]
    Keywords : Catalysis; Hydrodeoxygenation; TPR; NiMo-catalysts; Chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : To be able to face the challenges brought on by climate change there is an urgent need to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Bio-oil is one such renewable and carbon-neutral replacement that has shown promising potential. A key step in making bio-oil commercially feasible is improvements of the upgrading processes of the bio-oil. READ MORE

  5. 4. Influence of mass transport on glycerol electrooxidation on palladium in alkaline media

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad elektrokemi

    Author : Elvira Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : Glycerol electrooxidation; Palladium; Mass transport; Comsol Multiphysics; Rotating disk electrode; Electrooxidation av glycerol; Palladium; Masstransport; Comsol Multiphysics; Roterande diskelektrod;

    Abstract : Vid produktion av biodiesel produceras även råglycerol (10 vikt%) som biprodukt och utbudet av råglycerol har ökat över de senaste åren till följd av att biodieselproduktionen ökat. Marknadsvärdet för råglycerol är lågt, men det är en utmärkt föregångare till att producera mervärdesprodukter för exempelvis läkemedelsindustrin, kemikalieindustrin eller kosmetika. READ MORE

  6. 5. Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of an Electrochemical Hydrogenation Process Over a Nickel Foam Cathode

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hanson Appiah-Twum; [2022]
    Keywords : Scale-up; early process design; catalysis; environmental impact; hotspot analysis; green chemistry;

    Abstract : The need for a safe and sustainable chemical industry has called for the development of emerging technologies with improved environmental performance. In this study, an emerging electrochemical hydrogenation process over Ni foam is being developed at the laboratory scale with an expectation of less environmental impacts than a conventional palladium on carbon hydrogenation process.
