The copper-catalyzed oxidation of graphite

Douglas W. McKee
- 01 Mar 1970 - 
- Vol. 8, Iss: 2, pp 131-139
TLDR
The role of copper as a catalyst in the oxidation of graphite has been studied by optical microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis as mentioned in this paper, which suggests that the catalytic effect involves the localized reduction of cupric oxide by graphite and subsequent reoxidation of the resulting metal.

Filtration and catalytic abatement of diesel particulate from stationary sources

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that satisfying performance in carbon particulate abatement from stationary or quasi-stationary sources (e.g. power generation boilers based on combustion of fuel, wood, peat and coal, ferry boats, etc.), can be reached, at a lab-scale level, by coupling ceramic-foam filters with carbon combustion catalysts.

Low temperature diesel soots combustion using copper based catalysts modified by niobium and potassium promoters

TL;DR: In this paper, the combustion of diesel soot mixed with copper catalysts supported on La 2 O 3 or La 2O 2 CO 3 was investigated and the influence of alkali on the activity was also studied.

Influence of nitric acid treatment time on the mechanical and surface properties of high-strength carbon fibers

TL;DR: In this article, high-strength carbon fibers were treated with nitric acid and periodically analyzed by several different methods to develop an understanding of overall property changes and how they relate to compo...

Mechanism of carbon deposits removal from supported Ni catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the regeneration mechanism of Ni catalysts, with respect to carbon removal, was investigated on support materials prepared by one-pot synthesis, and different mechanisms were distinguished depending on the redox functionality of the support material.

Catalytic oxidation of graphite

TL;DR: In this article, the etch patterns of colloidal metal particles placed on graphite single crystals catalyse the oxidation of graphite, but the catalysis occurs only at the metal-carbon interface.

Etude de la combustion catalytique du graphite

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the catalytic effect of metal catalysts at such temperatures that the rate of the uncatalyzed reaction is negligible and showed that only metals able to oscillate between two degrees of oxidation, under the given conditions of combustion, do show a catalytic power.

Catalytic effect of major impurities on graphite oxidation

Edward A. Heintz, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1965 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the divalent state of the metal enters into the oxidation mechanism of the graphite in a manner similar to that proposed by Long and Sykes.
