Propane wet reforming over PtSn nanoparticles on γ-Al2O3 for acetone synthesis

Acetone serves as an important solvent and building block for the chemical industry, but the current industrial synthesis of acetone is generally accompanied by the energy-intensive and costly cumene process used for phenol production. Here we propose a sustainable route for acetone synthesis via propane wet reforming at a moderate temperature of 350 oC with the use of platinum-tin nanoparticles supported on γ-aluminium oxide (PtSn/γ-Al2O3) as catalyst. We achieve an acetone productivity of 858.4 μmol/g with a selectivity of 57.8% among all carbon-based products and 99.3% among all liquid products. Detailed spectroscopic and controlled experiments reveal that the acetone is formed through a tandem catalytic process involving propene and isopropanol as intermediates. We also demonstrate facile ketone synthesis via wet reforming with the use of different alkanes (e.g., n-butane, n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-octane) as substrates, proving the wide applicability of this strategy.

Synergistic redox and adsorption for enhanced Roxarsone removal: Heterogeneous Fenton-Like reaction with a novel composite of nanoscale zero-valent iron supported on γ-aluminum oxide

Roxarsone (ROX), a livestock growth enhancer, poses environmental and health hazards due to its remarkable stability, making traditional degradation methods ineffective. To tackle this issue, a novel Fenton-like composite, composed of nanoscale zero-valent iron supported on γ-aluminum oxide (nZVI/γ-Al2O3), was synthesized to boost ROX degradation. Results demonstrated nearly complete mineralization of the ROX organic matrix within just 180 min, facilitated by the Lewis acidity sites of γ-Al2O3. Significantly, this composite exhibited selective adsorption of released AsO43− ions on its surface, forming FeAsO4 and Fe-As-Al complexes. It also established an internal redox cycle involving Fe(0), Fe(II), and Fe(III), ensuring a continuous and efficient generation of primary reactive oxygen species (·OH and O2·−). Thus, a simultaneous redox process occurred on the composite surface can be attributed to the synergy of the reducibility of nZVI and the oxidation catalyzed by ·OH and O2·−. Initially, the nitro group of ROX was reduced by nZVI, forming more hydrophilic o-aminophenol, favoring subsequent oxidation and mineralization. Simultaneously, the As-C bonds in ROX were oxidized, yielding AsO43−, which was subsequently adsorbed over extended reaction times. This innovative approach offers a potential solution for treating wastewater contaminated with metalloid-organic composite pollutants, addressing the environmental and health concerns associated with ROX residues.

Facile oxygen doped heterojunction structured hybrid particles with γ-aluminium oxide dispersed over graphitic carbon nitride for dehydrogenation of sodium borohydride in methanol: Catalytic properties and mechanism

It is important to develop new metal-free catalysts that are both low-cost and environmentally friendly with high performance. Recently, heterojunction catalysts have been used more than single-component catalysts in catalytic reactions. The current study reports the facile production of a new environmental and green metal-free nanocatalyst by three stages including the synthesis of graphite carbon nitride (GCN) from urea, synthesis of GCN-γ-Al2O3 hybrid composite from GCN and aluminium oxide (γ-Al2O3), and synthesis of O-doped GCN-γ-Al2O3 from the interaction of hybrid GCN-γ-Al2O3 with nitric acid treatment. The obtained O-doped GCN-γ-Al2O3 hybrid material was used to catalyse the green and environmental H2 production(H2-P) from sodium borohydride (NaBH4) methanolysis for the first time. The chemical compositions and morphology structures of these heterojunction-structured hybrid catalysts were carefully characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, FTIR, TEM, and XPS analyses, and the catalytic activities and reusability were systematically evaluated. The H2 generation rate (HGR) values of GCN, GCN-γ-Al2O3 and O doped GCN-γ-Al2O3 catalysts were found as 3486, 5310 and 10080 ml min-1 g-1, respectively. The activation energy (Ea) for the O-doped GCN-γ-Al2O3 catalyst was 35.12 kJ mol-1. Besides, the mechanism of the O-doped GCN-γ-Al2O3 catalyst in the NaBH4 methanolysis reaction(NaBH4-RM) was tried to be clarified.

Improvement of interfacial adhesion between oxide ceramic nanoparticles and epoxy resin by wet-jet milling

Although ceramic/polymer composites are useful for various applications, such as sensors, electronics, automobiles, and aerospace, the aggregation of nanoparticles can lead to the degradation of the mechanical and functional properties of the composites. To mitigate this, the interfacial adhesion between epoxy resin and the oxide ceramic nanoparticles γ-aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon dioxide, and magnesium oxide was strengthened by wet-jet milling (WJM) treatment without a chemical modifier. The WJM treatment of the slurry containing nanoparticles and epoxy resin led to the good adsorption of epoxy resin onto the nanoparticle surface, which significantly improved the mechanical properties of the composites. Throughout this process, the amount of epoxy resin adsorbed on the nanoparticle surface and the composite mechanical properties increased with increasing WJM processing pressure, owing to the increased contact between the nanoparticles and epoxy resin droplets and the reduced droplet size. Furthermore, poor solvent was found to be effective for the dispersal of the nanoparticles because the epoxy resin droplets in the slurry were more stable on the nanoparticle surfaces than those in the solvent. When Al2O3 nanoparticles were used as a filler, the amount of epoxy resin adsorbed increased from 3.7 to 70.6 mg g−1, and the composite tensile strength increased from 67.1 to 100.3 MPa in poor solvent and under high WJM processing pressure. This optimized WJM treatment will lead to improvements in the mechanical and functional properties of various composite materials.

Recovery of Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions by γ-Alumina Creates Value-Added Catalyst Products

Mining and extracting metals from hard rock adversely impact the environment. These impacts could be mitigated by capturing dissolved metals from water (i.e., mine runoff, industrial wastewaters, or even tap water) and converting the metals to products with potential economic benefits (i.e., upcycled into high-value products). We sought to identify a sorbent that can remove dissolved metals from water and in the process of this low-temperature surface adsorption create a catalytic material of potential economic value. We discovered that γ-aluminum oxide (γ-Al2O3) can produce a reactive catalyst after removing metal ions (copper (Cu), palladium (Pd), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co)) from water, even for dissolved metals at environmentally relevant concentrations. The resulting metal-coated γ-Al2O3 behaved, comparable to high-temperature produced catalysts, as a mono- or bimetallic catalyst capable of oxidizing or reducing pollutants (methylene blue, 4-nitrophenol, nitrite, and nitrate). Mono- or bimetallic catalysts synthesized from tap water with metal ions present efficiently oxidized methylene blue (by Cu/γ-Al2O3) or reduced nitrate (by Pd–Cu/γ-Al2O3) into less harmful species (i.e., ammonium and dinitrogen gas). Results demonstrated the versatile use of γ-Al2O3 that removes metal ions from water (i.e., water purification) and produces a valuable γ-Al2O3-based byproduct with proven catalytic reactivity (i.e., catalyst production) and commercial markets.

Numerical simulation of the ignition of aluminum nanoparticles in oxygen-containing gases taking into consideration polymorphic transformations in an oxide film

A model for the ignition of aluminum nanoparticles in oxygen-containing gases has been developed, taking into account polymorphic transformations in the oxide film. Using the developed model, the data of thermogravimetric experiments on oxidation of aluminum nanoparticles and of experiments on oxidation of aluminum nanoparticles suspended in oxygen-containing gases were analyzed. The role of polymorphic transformations in the ignition of aluminum nanoparticles has been evaluated. It is shown that the ignition of nanoparticles suspended in oxygen-containing gases is always preceded by the polymorphic transformation of amorphous aluminum oxide into γ-aluminum oxide.

Investigation of Mechanical Behavior and Surface Characteristics of Cold Spray Metallized B4C/AA7075 Composites Coated by AZ64 Alloy through Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation

Metallized cold-spray coatings were employed to make B4C/AA7075 and aluminum + plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) duplex coatings on AZ64. In addition, the phase structure, mechanical characteristics, wear, and PEO ceramic coatings examine the corrosion resistance. According to the findings, the PEO ceramic coating comprises α-aluminum oxide and γ-aluminum oxide, with some remnants of B4C still being preserved. PEO ceramic coatings outperformed their corresponding CS counterparts regarding mechanical characteristics and wear resistance. For example, the PEO-B4C coating achieved a hardness of 13.8 GPa and an elastic modulus of 185.5 GPa, which were 21.0% and 23.5%, respectively, more significant than the comparable values for the coating with CS. The PEO-B4C coating was 58% and 15.7% less abrasive than the equivalent CS coating due to its lower wear rate of 4.84 × 10−5 mm3/Nm and relatively lower of 0.64. The density of corrosion current in the PEO-treated B4C-AA7075 coating (3.735 × 106 A/cm2) is similar to the corrosion current density in the untreated CS coatings. Finally, compared to untreated CS B4C-AA7075, the coating’s mechanical characteristics and wear resistance are considerably enhanced by the PEO treatment.

Aluminum hydroxide, bayerite, boehmite, and gibbsite ToF-SIMS spectra in the negative ion mode. I

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was performed for boehmite (AOH-60) and its potential products of oxidation including pseudo-boehmite (AOH-180), α- and γ-Al2O3, and α- and γ-Al(OH)3. Since boehmite is often incorporated on cladding materials to prevent corrosion, surface analysis techniques are performed to determine the amount of oxidation present. This ToF-SIMS spectral library is of significance because it includes boehmite and its potential oxidation products (i.e., aluminum oxide and hydroxide), which can be used to compare to spectra obtained for real-world samples containing boehmite. Furthermore, ToF-SIMS is often used as a complementary technique to x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy due to its surface sensitivity and ability to compare spectra via a multivariate analysis, therefore establishing that the molecular signatures of boehmite and relevant compounds are essential for peak identification. The SIMS spectra shown are acquired from commercially available powders, which were deposited onto a silicon wafer substrate via liquid slurry drop casting. This library of SIMS mass spectra will serve as a comparison of boehmite [γ-AlO(OH)], pseudo-boehmite [AlOOH⋅nH2O], α- and γ-aluminum oxide [Al2O3], and α- and γ-aluminum hydroxide [Al(OH)3] in the negative ion mode, which compliments those reported in the positive ion mode {Part II [L. Strange et al., Surf. Sci. Spec. 29, 025002 (2022)]}.

Anionic acid functionalized mesoporous γ- Al2O3 nanorods: Preparation, physicochemical and biological characterizations

This work reports the anionic acid functionalization of γ-aluminum oxide nanorods (γ-Al 2 O 3 NRs) by a simple and cost effective co-precipitation method. The physicochemical properties of the pure and surface functionalized samples were evaluated by XRD, FTIR, UV–vis DRS, TEM, BET and EPR analysis. The antibacterial as well as the anticancer activities of the samples were examined using well diffusion method and MTT assay process, respectively. The XRD patterns confirmed the high crystalline nature with cubic phase of γ-Al 2 O 3 . Conspicuously, the FTIR spectra indicated the presence of functional derivatives correlated to folic acid and the Al-O stretching. The TEM analysis exhibited the actuality of rod-like morphology of the pure γ-Al 2 O 3 and increased length of the functionalized sample. After the folic acid functionalization, the surface area of the sample was found to be decreased which was determined by BET studies. The average pore diameter values were obtained as 7.9 and 9.4 nm for the pure and surface functionalized samples respectively, evaluated by Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method. The antibacterial activities of the samples towards both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were studied which illustrate promising results. Similarly, anticancer activities of the samples were also determined against A549 lung cancer cell lines using MTT assay. Taken as a whole; the surface functionalized γ-Al 2 O 3 NRs demonstrated significant results against bacterial strains and cancer cell line.

The Influence of Fucoxanthin Immobilized on Porous Aluminum-Silicon Carrier Surface on the Functional Activities of Immunocytes in Mice

Fucoxanthin is a natural carotenoid obtained from seaweed which exhibits antioxidant properties. This research aimed to assess whether fucoxanthin, immobilized on aluminum-silicon carrier particles, has a toxic effect on immune cells. The viability, proliferation, nitric oxide production and myeloperoxidase activity of thymocytes and splenocytes of mice in vitro were studied. It was shown that fucoxanthin, immobilized on aluminum-silicon carrier particles, increased the survival rate and proliferation of mature immunocytes (splenocytes) after 24 hours exposure and increased the survival rate of naïve immunocytes (thymocytes) when exposed for 120 hours. In terms of myeloperoxidase, the activity of the immune cells was not affected by fucoxanthin immobilized on the carrier particles. The obtained results indicated that fucoxanthin, immobilized on particles of an aluminum-silicon carrier, did not have a toxic effect on mouse immunocytes.

Microstructural characterization of aluminum 6063 alloy nanocomposites

Microstructural characterization of aluminum (Al) 6063 nanocomposites plays a vital role in the field of materials engineering. Many of the earlier research studies showed that the evolution of aluminum 6063 stabilized the application in various fields of engineering and sciences. The present research focused on probing aluminum 6063 nanocomposites using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy photogrammetry (SEM). Compositions of aluminum 6063 and aluminum 6063 with 0.5 wt% γ-aluminum oxide (γ-Al2O3), 1 wt% γ-aluminum oxide, 2 wt% γ-aluminum oxide and 3 wt% γ-aluminum oxide were prepared and investigated for microstructural characterization. In XRD, SEM and TEM, the nanopowder particles form apparently bonds and their crystallographic structures were identified. Instead of chemical reactions, nanoparticles implicated the improvements in higher fracture toughness and shown in SEM fractograph of aluminum 6063 + 2 wt% γ-aluminum oxide than other compositions. In the SEM fractograph of aluminum 6063 + 3 wt% γ-aluminum oxide, the nanoparticles were widely spread and showed higher fracture toughness.

Corrosion behavior of MoS2-incorporated PEO coatings prepared on Al alloy

Aluminum (Al) alloys are used widely in the automotive and aerospace industries, but their corrosion resistance is insufficient in long-term service, particularly in a high-salinity environment. The incorporation of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) particles into plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings formed on an aluminum alloy was investigated in this work. After oxidation, the coatings were investigated by a series of structural, morphological and electrochemical corrosion tests to understand the effect of molybdenum disulfide addition to the base electrolyte. The phase compositions and surface morphology of coatings were analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. The XRD results showed that all coatings were primarily composed of α-aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3), γ-aluminum oxide and molybdenum disulfide phases. The FESEM observations indicated that molybdenum disulfide particles were successfully incorporated in the ceramic coating and the apparent porosities decreased with increasing molybdenum disulfide concentration. The electrochemical corrosion tests indicated that the amount of coating porosity decreased and the corrosion current density decreased from 79·6 μA/cm2 in the bare aluminum alloy to 58·1 and 30·1 μA/cm2 in the PEO coatings without and with the molybdenum disulfide additive, respectively. This behavior could be attributed to the beneficial effect of the molybdenum disulfide particles, which might play an important role in blocking micropores and microcracks.

Production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil using heterogeneous catalysts KI/γ-Al2O3

Biodiesel is a promising alternative fuel that can be produced from vegetable oil through the esterification process. Conventional homogeneous acid or base catalysts result in a lower biodiesel yield and a longer reaction time and require separation from the product, which lead to inefficient production. This research was aimed at utilising the heterogeneous catalyst potassium iodide (KI)/γ-aluminium oxide (γ-Al2O3) for esterification of waste cooking oil into biodiesel. The catalyst was prepared using the impregnation method in which calcination was conducted at 500°C for 3 h. The esterification operation condition was set to a temperature of 65°C for 3 h and a molar ratio of oil to methanol of 1:14. Moreover, the heterogeneous catalyst was compared with a homogeneous catalyst with respect to the yield of biodiesel. The results showed that at a 2% (g catalyst/g oil) catalyst concentration, the esterification using the catalyst KI/γ-Al2O3 produced a higher yield of biodiesel (88·03%) compared with using γ-aluminium oxide (58·86%) and a conventional catalyst (82·23%). The reusability study of the catalyst KI/γ-Al2O3 showed that after the first reuse, the catalyst could still produce biodiesel with a yield of 61·30%. After the second reuse, the yield of biodiesel was 52·61%, and the third reuse produced a yield of 21·50%.

Epitaxial growth of γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 alloy thin films on spinel substrates via mist chemical vapor deposition

Among the five polymorphs of α, β, γ, δ, and κ(ε)-gallium oxide (Ga2O3), we focused on metastable cubic γ-Ga2O3, which exhibits a defect spinel structure, from the viewpoint of lattice matching. Alloying γ-Ga2O3 with γ-aluminum oxide (γ-Al2O3), which exhibits the same crystal structure as that of the former, is effective for lattice-matched growth on a spinel substrate as well as band gap engineering. At the composition ratio x = 0.48, γ-aluminum gallium oxide (γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3) lattice matched to the spinel substrate, and its band gap energy increased to 5.88 eV. Thus, γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 is a promising material for wide band gap semiconductors that are lattice matched to the substrates, for applications in power-switching devices and deep-ultraviolet optoelectronics. In this study, we demonstrated the epitaxial growth of γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 alloy thin films on spinel substrates using mist chemical vapor deposition. At the Al concentration of 0.11 M, the epitaxial γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 thin film was successfully grown with Laue-oscillations observed in the X-ray diffraction 2θ–ω scan. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy measurements revealed that the γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 thin film was lattice matched and grown on the spinel substrate with few misfit dislocations at the interface. Band gap engineering was achieved in the range of 5.0–6.0 eV by estimating the direct band gap energy. Thus, our results, which indicate the possibility of limited dislocations due to lattice matches, are expected to facilitate the development of materials with wider band gaps based on γ-(AlxGa1-x)2O3.

γ-Al2O3 yolk–shell porous microspheres with superior Congo red removal performance

γ-Aluminum oxide (γ-Al2O3) yolk–shell meso–macroporous microspheres (AOYSs) were prepared using the glucose-assisted hydrothermal method followed by an annealing process, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller nitrogen (N2) adsorption–desorption analysis. The hierarchical AOYSs showed a high specific surface area (201 m2/g) with highly porous structures. Compared with solid and hollow microspheres, the hierarchical AOYSs showed an excellent adsorption performance toward Congo red, which can be attributed to their unique yolk–shell structures and hierarchical meso–macroporous structures with a high specific surface area. Furthermore, the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model well represented the adsorption of Congo red on the surface of hierarchical AOYSs. This study provides a new insight into the design and synthesis of yolk–shell nanostructures, which can offer various applications, such as those in adsorption, energy storage, catalysis and sensor fields.

A strong solid Lewis acid catalyst has been successfully obtained by modifying a known procedure of fluorinating γ-aluminium oxide, which was pre-calcined under vacuum.

Photocatalytic and electrochemical sensor for direct detection of paracetamol comprising γ-aluminium oxide nanoparticles synthesized via sonochemical route

Aluminium oxide nano particles (Al2O3 NPs) were synthesized using simple but effective probe sonication method. The structural, photocatalytic, and electrochemical sensor properties of Al2O3 NPs were investigated by powder X-ray Powder Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–vis Spectroscopy, and Electrochemical analyzer potentiostat. The impact of sonication on the physical properties of Al2O3 NPs was elucidated. From the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies the material exhibited a face centered cubic structure and γ phase with crystallite size in the range from 6 to 16 nm. The semiconductor behavior has been confirmed from the study of energy band gap via diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The conductivity of the samples was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M NaOH as aqueous electrolytes. The electrode exhibited specific capacitance of 0.866 F g-1 and 0.488 F g-1 at scan rate 10 mV/s in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, respectively. EIS measurements showed reduction in the charge transfer resistance in acidic electrolyte. Modified carbon paste electrode employing γ-Al2O3 NPs has sensed Paracetamol in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The electrode displayed high sensitivity for paracetamol detection under varying concentrations. A linear calibration curve for paracetamol detection was obtained with a limit of detection (LOD) 2.3602 × 10−3 mol/L. These results confirm that the γ-Al2O3 NPs are promising electrode material for sensing paracetamol with high electrode reversibility and as an excellent photocatalyst.

Modular Testing of Dinitrogen Oxide (Nitrogen Hemioxide) Catalytic Decomposition Technology for Off-Gas Cleanup Systems for Brest Spent Nuclear Nitride Fuel Reprocessing

Dinitrogen oxide N2O (nitrogen hemioxide) is one of the harmful components of the off-gases during the reprocessing of spent nitride fuel. It enters the gas phase during the dissolution of nitride fuel in nitric acid and denitration of high-activity raffinate or the bottom solution from the evaporation of intermediate-level wastes. The preferred method of neutralizing it is high-temperature catalytic decomposition. Compositions based on γ-aluminum oxide coated with catalysts were found previously. One of the compositions was checked on a semi-industrial setup. The efficiency of N2O decomposition was studied as a function of temperature. It was established that almost complete decomposition occurs at 465–480°C. The specific rate of N2O decomposition at 425–480°C was found as a function of the initial concentration. It is shown that for constant initial concentration of N2O the specific decomposition rate is almost the same in the investigated temperature interval.
