  4. 3. Catalysis for Lean NOx Reduction - Aspects of Catalyst Synthesis and Surface Acidity

    Författare :Hanna Härelind Ingelsten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lean NOx reduction; silica; alumina; FTIR; surface acidity; model catalysts; platinum; HZSM-5; w o microemulsion; aluminum-silicate; hydrocarbon;

    Sammanfattning : From both economic and environmental perspectives it is desirable to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. One route to increase the fuel efficiency for vehicles is operation in oxygen excess. However, a major problem with this technique is the lean environment, which obstructs catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to harmless nitrogen. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Residential biomass combustion - emissions of organic compounds to air from wood pellets and other new alternatives

    Författare :Maria Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Burning; methoxy¬phenol; benzene; stove; ecolabel; oats; wheat straw; firewood; boiler; hydrocarbon; smoke; peat;

    Sammanfattning : It is important to increase the use of biofuels for residential heating in order to decrease the use of fossil fuels and their impact on global warming. The smoke from the combustion of biomass contains a large number of compounds, which to varying degrees can affect the environment and human health. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Chemical Bonding of Hydrocarbons to Metal Surfaces

    Författare :Henrik Öström; Anders Nilsson; Phil Woodruff; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adsorption; hydrocarbon; core-level; spectroscopy; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) the changes in electronic and geometric structure of hydrocarbons upon adsorption are determined. The chemical bonding is analyzed and the results provide new insights in the mechanisms responsible for dehydrogenation in heterogeneous catalysis. LÄS MER
