Twenty-five years after introduction of automotive catalysts: what next?
TL;DR: The union of catalysts and the automobile has been one of the greatest successes of heterogeneous catalysis over the last 25 years as mentioned in this paper, and there will be continued research and development activity focused also on downstream applications (i.e. exhaust emission aftertreatment), especially for fuelefficient, lean-burn vehicles, both diesel and spark-ignited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface interactions in the system Reγ-Al2O3
H.C. Yao,Mordecai Shelef +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the surface of Re γ-Al 2 O 3 -supported reforming catalysts and showed the existence of two aggregation states of Re on the surface: a dispersed two-dimensional phase and three-dimensional crystallites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The oxidation of CO by O2 and by NO on supported chromium oxide and other metal oxide catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface state changes in supported chromia catalysts were studied and a method was extended to determine the oxidation state of the surface in situ during reaction, and a tentative explanation was offered for the selectivity for oxygen over nitric oxide in the oxidation-reduction reactions on commonly employed catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous methanation: Steady-state rate of CO hydrogenation on supported ruthenium, nickel and rhenium
TL;DR: In this article, a study has been made of initial activity, steady-state activity and activity in the presence of H2S for CO hydrogenation on a number of supported catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous methanation: In situ infrared spectroscopic study of RuAl2O3 during the hydrogenation of CO
R.A. Dalla Betta,Mordecai Shelef +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO and H 2 was studied on a high surface area Ru Al 2 O 3 catalyst using transmission infrared spectroscopy, and a carbonyl stretching band was observed at 2043 cm −1 and attributed to CO adsorbed on Ru.
