Abstract:
... Surface lattice oxygen is crucial to the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over transition metal oxides according to the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism. Herein, λ-MnO₂ in situ grown on the surface of CoMn spinel was prepared by acid etching of corresponding spinel catalysts (CoMn-Hx-Ty) for VOC oxidation. Experimental and relevant theoretical exploration revealed that acid etching on t ...

Abstract:
... The oxidative and non-oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over a monolayer V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst was examined using in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and pseudo in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the freshly calcined catalyst contains vanadium in the V⁵⁺ state; however, its treatment in the propane flow leads to the reduction of V⁵⁺ to V³⁺. Simultaneously ...

Abstract:
... In typical acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation, acetone is the main by-product (50 % of butanol mass) of butanol production, resulting in a low yield of butanol. It is known that some Clostridium tetanomorphum strains are able to produce butanol without acetone in nature. Here, we described that C. tetanomorphum strain DSM665 can produce 4.16 g/L butanol and 4.98 g/L ethanol at pH 6.0, and ...
