Carbon Nanotubes as Catalyst Supports in Biphasic Systems
(2016-05)
Carbon nanotubes are studied as catalyst supports in biphasic (oil and water)
systems. In the first part the relationships between a carbon nanotubes properties before
and after functionalization and the influence those ...
Conversion of Oxygenates from Biomass-Derived Compounds over Supported Metal Catalysts
(2012)
The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has caused the tremendous interest of our society in making use of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ...
Role of metal and acid catalytic functions in the liquid phase upgrading of biomass-derived compounds
(2018-05)
With higher demanding of fossil fuels and the growing problems of the greenhouse effect and global warming, biofuels have drawn much attention in the research study to understand the chemistry and seek the solution to the ...
Spectrotemporal Dynamics of Neural Responses in Auditory Cortex During Frequency Discrimination
(2009)
Small differences in the frequencies of a sound provide a significant amount of information about the identity, position, and motion of the source. Humans' auditory frequency discrimination ability also allows us to ...
INTERFACIALLY ACTIVE CARBON NANOTUBE HYBRIDS FOR RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
(2013-12)
This work examines the different aspects of stabilizing and propagating interfacially active carbon nanohybrids for oil field applications. The progress achieved during the last four years was quite impressive towards the ...
Effect of Water on Catalytic Reactions over Brønsted Zeolites
(2022-09)
Water is present in both conventional chemical transformations and conversion of renewable emerging feedstocks such as biomass and plastic waste. Solid acids and zeolites, in particular, have been one of the most common ...
Transport of Nanoparticles in Porous Media by Numerical Simulations
(2023-05-15)
This thesis focuses on three primary topics related to the movement of fluid and nanoparticles (NPs) in porous media. While prediction of local fluid velocities within porous media are significant, conducting experiments ...
Conversion of alicyclic compounds for improvement of fuel properties.
(2006)
The presence of Pt improves the production of ring-contraction and ring-opening products from tetralin due to hydrogenation of tetralin to decalin. In addition, the location of metal (Pt) affects the ratio of RC/RO on the ...
Computational investigation of non-covalent stabilization of nanoparticle suspensions and their propagation in porous media
(2016)
In this study, Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) methods were used to investigate computationally the non-covalent stabilization of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in water by using polymers ...
Reaction pathways and catalyst phase transformations during synthesis of nanotubes and nanowires by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism.
(2006)
The discovery of carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires has initiated an exploding research field in which enormous efforts have been invested due to their fundamental significance to the study of size- and ...
