Mechanism and Kinetics of Propane Dehydrogenation and Cracking over Ga/H-MFI Prepared via Vapor-Phase Exchange of H-MFI with GaCI3

In this study, the mechanism and kinetics of C3H8 dehydrogenation and cracking are examined over Ga/H-MFI catalysts prepared via vapor-phase exchange of H-MFI with GaCl3. The present study demonstrates that GaH cations are the active centers for C3H8 ...

Hydration mediated interfacial transitions on mixed hydrophobic/hydrophilic nanodroplet interfaces

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Nikolay Smolentsev, Rüdiger Scheu, Filip Kovacik

Interfacial phase transitions are of fundamental importance for climate, industry, and biological processes. In this work, we observe a hydration mediated surface transition in supercooled oil nanodroplets in aqueous solutions using second harmonic and sum ...

Experimental investigation of a direct driven radial compressor for domestic heat pumps

Daniel Favrat, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

The presence of oil in domestic heat pumps is an obstacle toward higher efﬁciency, particularly for enhanced surface evaporators and for advanced concepts based on two- stage cycles. Very compact direct driven radial compressors supported on oil-free beari ...

Estimation of road traffic emission factors from a long term tracer study

Alain Clappier, Luis Carlos Belalcazar Ceron, Erika Maria Zarate Torres, Minh Dung Ho

Road traffic emissions, one of the largest source categories in megacity inventories, are highly uncertain. It is essential to develop methodologies to reduce these uncertainties to manage air quality more effectively. In this paper, we propose a methodolo ...

Novel structured adsorber and oxidation catalysts for the removal of VOCs in low concentration

Kim Martin Nikolajsen

One possibility for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is catalytic oxidation. For the removal of VOCs in low concentration (≲ 3000 ppmv for propane) it is not possible to sustain the required oxidation temperature over the catalyst wit ...
