Preparation and Characterization of Palladium Catalysts
<p>There is a critical need for improved combustion-oxidation catalysts to reduce emissions of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from exhaust gas of gasoline combustion in automotive vehicles. Materials and systems currently available, such as the three way catalytic converter (TWC), …

Thermochemistry and kinetic analysis on radicals of acetaldehyde + O2, allyl radical + O2 and diethyl and chlorodiethyl sulfides
… to evaluate the reaction paths and kinetics in oxidation and pyrolysis. Ketene is one important product resulting from acetaldehyde oxidation; thus thermochemistry plus isomerization and conversion reactions of ketene are also analyzed. Enthalpies of formation are determined using isodesmic …

The Effects of Inorganic Solids and Certain Gases on the Thermal Decomposition of Catechol
… effects of the inorganic solids on pyrolysis and combustion are conducted through identification and quantification of the products formed after subjecting vapor-phase catechol to temperatures that range from 300 to 600 °C at a residence time of 7.36 seconds inside the flow reactor. A carrier gas …
