Effect of MoO3 as a Promoter in Cu-Mgo-Al2O3 (Hydrotalcite like Precursor) Catalyst for the Vapour Phase Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde
Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the role of MoO3 as promoterin Cu-MgO-Al2O3 (hydrotalcite like precursor) for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde in vapour phase at atmospheric pressure. It is interesting to note that the MoO3 addition plays an important role in maintaining enhanced activity and stability of the catalyst by avoiding agglomeration of Cu species during the time on stream study. The discrepancy in the catalysts was clearly monitored …

Generating Fuel Energy by Catalytic Pyrolyzing of Microalgae
Abstract: In biomass pyrolysis process, a catalyst is used to modify the pyrolysis gases' chemical composition and increase the bio-oil fraction. This process uses the byproducts of thermal conversion processes. It is anticipated that the introduction of pyrolysis catalysts in the case of microalgae will lower the bio-oxygen oil's content and increase the number of added-value compounds in this liquid fraction. Catalysts can also help decrease the nitrogen in bio-oil. As …
