Oxidación de etanol y ácido fórmico en nanocristales de platino: Electrocatálisis y reactividad superficial / Ethanol and formic acid oxidation in platinum nanocrystals: Electrocatalysis and surface reactivityBusó-Rogero, Carlos 27 May 2016 (has links)
La presente tesis abarca estudios fundamentales para la electrocatálisis en la oxidación de etanol y ácido fórmico en nanopartículas de platino orientadas preferencialmente y poliorientadas soportadas en carbón. El objetivo principal en estas investigaciones es el de completar la oxidación hasta el dióxido de carbono sin formar veneno durante el transcurso de la reacción. Partiendo del etanol, la molécula principalmente estudiada, se han realizado multitud de trabajos investigando diferentes parámetros que pueden afectar a su reactividad, como es el caso de la estructura superficial del catalizador de platino, el efecto de cambiar el pH de trabajo y la importancia de la correcta dispersión del depósito de nanopartículas. Por último, se estudia el cambio en la catálisis de la oxidación de ácido fórmico y etanol al modificar la superficie de las nanopartículas de platino con un átomo diferente.

Réactions d’interconversion catalytiques entre composés C1 : CO2, CO, acide formique, méthanol, méthane et dérivés / Catalytic interconversion reactions between C1 compounds : CO2, CO, formic acid, methanol, methane and derivativesImberdis, Arnaud 30 September 2019 (has links)
Notre société s’est considérablement développée grâce à l’utilisation des ressources fossiles. L’utilisation de ces ressources, dans le domaine de l’énergie ou de l’industrie chimique, provoque un dérèglement du cycle naturel du carbone par l’accumulation dans l’atmosphère d’un CO2 anthropogénique. Pour pallier ces difficultés, une des solutions envisagées consiste à abandonner progressivement les hydrocarbures fossiles au profit de ressources carbonées renouvelables telles que le CO₂ pour le stockage des énergies renouvelables et/ou comme sources de produits chimiques. Les premières briques obtenues grâce au CO2 sont des molécules comportant un seul atome de carbone, rassemblées dans la classe de composés C1. Elle comprend le méthane (CH4), le monoxyde de carbone (CO), le méthanol (CH3OH), l’acide formique (HCOOH). Ces réactions ne sont pas idéales, limitées par leur praticité, leur rendement ou par leur sélectivité. Dans ce contexte, le présent travail doctoral a exploré des chemins alternatifs permettant d’interconvertir ces composés pour offrir des voies de valorisation du CO2. En premier lieu, l’utilisation de HCOOH sera proposé comme vecteur de CO. Cette thématique est née de l’intérêt grandissant pour le secteur de la chimie organique d’obtenir des sources liquides ou solides de CO. Dans un second temps, il a été développé une nouvelle stratégie de dismutation pour accéder au CH3OH à partir de dérivés de HCOOH, les formiates de silicium. Ces réactifs permettent de s’affranchir de la limitation thermodynamique dont souffre la dismutation de HCOOH. Cette transformation a été assurée en maîtrisant le recyclage des coproduits silylés. Une nouvelle voie de production de CH4 a également été développée à partir du CH3OH, en utilisant HCOOH comme réducteur. Enfin, les connaissances acquises sur l’activiation et la réactivité du CO2 ont permis, par analogie, de transposer ces connaissances à l’étude d’autres molécules iso-électroniques, telles que les carbodiimides et leur transformation en isourées dans des conditions organocatalytiques. / Our society has grown considerably thanks to the use of fossil resources. The use of these resources, in the field of energy or the chemical industry, leads to a disruption of the natural carbon cycle caused by the accumulation of an anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere. To overcome this issue, one of the conceivable solutions is to gradually abandon fossil hydrocarbons in favor of renewable carbon resources such as CO₂ for the storage of renewable energies and / or as a source of chemical products. The first building blocks obtained from CO2 are one carbon atom containing molecules, known as C1 compounds. It includes methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), methanol (CH3OH), formic acid (HCOOH). These reactions are limited by their practicality, their yield or by their selectivity. Therefore, they are not an ideal solution to the initial problem. In this context, this doctoral work has explored alternative ways of interconverting these compounds to offer CO2 recovery pathways. In the first place, the use of HCOOH was proposed as a CO vector. This topic is born of the growing interest for the organic chemistry sector to obtain liquid or solid sources of CO. In a second step, a new disproportionation strategy was developed to access CH3OH from HCOOH derivatives, the silicon formates. These reagents allow to avoid the thermodynamic limitation related to the disproportionation of HCOOH. The control of the silylated by-products recycling enabled the success of this transformation. A new CH4 production route was also developed from CH3OH using HCOOH as a reducing agent. Finally, the knowledge acquired on CO2 activation and reactivity enabled a transposition by analogy to other iso-electronic molecules, including carbodiimides in order to form the isoureas under organocatalytic conditions.

Investigation of Formic Acid Chemistry and IgnitionAlsewailem, Ahmad 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis investigates the oxidation chemistry and ignition properties of formic acid (FA). The study reports experimental measurements of ignition delay time (IDT) and CO/CO2 time histories during FA oxidation in a shock tube. The initial concentration of FA was measured with a laser to minimize uncertainties arising from its low vapor pressure and tendency to form dimers. Shock tube experiments were carried out at two pressures, around 1.7 and 3.5 bar, and temperatures ranging from 1194 to 1658 K, with two equivalence ratios, 0.72 and 1.47. The results show a noticeable dependence of IDTs on temperature and pressure, while there was insignificant dependence on equivalence ratio.
Six kinetic models for FA oxidation available in the literature were tested against the obtained data to evaluate their accuracy and suggest potential improvements. We found that 4 models performed well in predicting IDTs and CO/CO2 profiles with some overprediction at certain conditions. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the IDTs of FA are governed by unimolecular decomposition, H abstraction, and radical consumption (HOCO) reactions. The concentration of HO2 is higher at low temperatures, which is favorable for the system’s reactivity as it makes IDTs more sensitive to the reaction HOCHO + HO2 = H2O2 + HOCO. CO formation is controlled by two reactions: CO + OH = HOCO and HOCHO (+M) = CO + H2O, while the second reaction is more pronounced at high temperatures. Moreover, the dissociation of HOCO is faster at higher pressures, leading to higher initial CO concentrations. The formation of CO2 is determined by CO + OH = CO2 + H, while at higher temperatures, HOCHO (+M) = CO2 + H2 (+M) becomes more important, resulting in higher initial CO2 concentrations.

Electrochemical Studies Of Nanoscale Composite Materials As Electrodes In Direct Alcohol Fuel CellsAnderson, Jordan 01 January 2012 (has links)
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have recently acquired much attention as alternatives to combustion engines for power conversion. The primary interest in fuel cell technology is the possibility of 60% power conversion efficiency as compared to the 30% maximum theoretical efficiency limited to combustion engines and turbines. Although originally conceived to work with hydrogen as a fuel, difficulties relating to hydrogen storage have prompted much effort in using other fuels. Small organic molecules such as alcohols and formic acid have shown promise as alternatives to hydrogen in PEMFCs due to their higher stability at ambient conditions. The drawbacks for using these fuels in PEMFCs are related to their incomplete oxidation mechanisms, which lead to the production of carbon monoxide (CO). When carbon monoxide is released in fuel cells it binds strongly to the platinum anode thus limiting the adsorption and subsequent oxidation of more fuel. In order to promote the complete oxidation of fuels and limit poisoning due to CO, various metal and metal oxide catalysts have been used. Motivated by promising results seen in fuel cell catalysis, this research project is focused on the design and fabrication of novel platinum-composite catalysts for the electrooxidation of methanol, ethanol and formic acid. Various Pt-composites were fabricated including Pt-Au, PtRu, Pt-Pd and Pt-CeO2 catalysts. Electrochemical techniques were used to determine the catalytic ability of each novel composite toward the electrooxidation of methanol, ethanol and formic acid. This study indicates that the novel composites all have higher catalytic ability than bare Pt electrodes. The increase in catalytic ability is mostly attributed to the increase in CO poison tolerance and promotion of the complete oxidation mechanism of methanol, ethanol and iv formic acid. Formulations including bi- and tri-composite catalysts were fabricated and in many cases show the highest catalytic oxidation, suggesting tertiary catalytic effects. The combination of bi-metallic composites with ceria also showed highly increased catalytic oxidation ability. The following dissertation expounds on the relationship between composite material and the electrooxidation of methanol, ethanol and formic acid. The full electrochemical and material characterization of each composite electrode is provided.

Separation Of Organic Acids And Lignin Fraction From Bio-Oil And Use Of Lignin Fraction In Phenol-Formaldehyde Wood Adhesive ResinSukhbaatar, Badamkhand 09 August 2008 (has links)
Bio-oil produced from biomass by the fast pyrolysis method is promising as a renewable fuel and as sources of industrial chemicals. In this study, lower cost separation methods of organic acids such as acetic and formic acids and pyrolytic lignin fraction present in bio-oil were investigated to provide basic data needed for future industrial production procedures. The calcium oxide method and a quaternary ammonium anion-exchange resin method were studied to separate organic acids as respective salts and the methanol-and-water method was studied to separate the water-insoluble pyrolytic lignin fraction. The calcium oxide and anion-exchange methods were shown to be effective in separation of organic acids, although further improvements would be needed. The pyrolytic lignin separation method was also shown to give lignin fraction that is effective for up to 40% replacement of phenol in the oriented strand board core-layer binder PF resins.

A dissertação está dividida em duas partes. A primeira trata da eletroquímica fundamental utilizando líquidos iônicos como eletrólito suporte e molécula de estudo. São abordados os fenômenos de estabilidade anódica e catódica, com ênfase no mecanismo de degradação do líquido. Além disso, é apresentado um estudo sobre a oxidação eletrocatalítica de hidrogênio nesse ambiente. Quanto a esse aspecto são abordados aspectos mecanísticos e físico-químicos da reação. Técnicas eletroquímicas, modelagem e simulações numéricas foram utilizadas para investigação e hipotetização dos processos. A segunda parte da dissertação consiste do estudo da interação entre óxidos de platina e alguns compostos orgânicos (ácido fórmico, metanol e etanol). O estudo foi realizado em termos da evolução do potencial de circuito aberto com acompanhamento das espécies reativas através da espectroscopia de infravermelho in situ. Os dados obtidos são analisados sob a luz dos conhecimentos levantados pela área de eletrocatálise e sistemas dinâmicos. Modelagem e simulação do sistema permitiram o entendimento do papel individual das diversas etapas envolvidas sobre o comportamento geral do sistema. / This dissertation is divided on two parts. The first one deals with fundamental electrochemistry employing an ionic liquid as supporting electrolyte and as a subject of study by itself. Phenomena like the anodic and cathodic stability of the liquid, emphasizing its degradation mechanism is presented. It is also shown a study of the electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrogen in this environment. For this case, efforts were made to unravel mechanistic aspects of the reaction, as well as physical chemical features. Electrochemical techniques and numerical simulations were used for investigation and understanding of that system. The second part presents a study of the interaction between platinum oxides and some organic compounds, namely: formic acid, methanol and ethanol. The study was performed under open circuit conditions by following the temporal evolution of the potential and also the concentration of some chemical species by using in situ infrared spectroscopy. Data were analyzed under the guide of knowledge constructed by the fields of electrocatalysis and dynamical systems. Modelling and simulation allowed understanding the individual role of the various participants species on the global behavior of the system.

Uso do ácido fórmico no controle de Salmonella Enteritidis em frangos de corte experimentalmente infectados / Use of formic acid in the control of Salmonella Enteritidis in broilers infected experimentallyRui, Bruno Rogério 30 June 2014 (has links)
A salmonelose é uma das mais importantes causas de toxinfecção alimentar em humanos, provocando sérios problemas à saúde pública, além de ser uma das doenças de maior impacto na produção avícola. Em vista disso, este estudo objetivou avaliar o uso de ácido fórmico no controle de Salmonella Enteritidis (SE). Assim, foram utilizados 360 pintinhos de um dia de idade: 50% das aves foram inoculadas via inglúvio com 3x107 UFC/0,1mL de SE e 50% não (aves contactantes). As aves foram divididas em cinco (05) grupos com seis (06) repetições cada: T1) controle sem o aditivo; T2) ácido fórmico 0,3% na ração; T3) ácido fórmico 0,2% na ração; T4) ácido fórmico diluído em água de beber até que a mesma atingisse um pH 4; T5) ácido fórmico 0,2% protegido na ração. As aves receberam ácido do 1º ao 7º dia e do 35º ao 42º dia. A cada sete dias, amostras de fezes foram colhidas da cama em todos os grupos para se avaliar o isolamento de SE. Aos 42 dias foram colhidas à necropsia amostras de inglúvio, fígado/baço e ceco para o isolamento de SE e sangue para a avaliação sorológica. Nas aves do T1, do T2 e do T5 SE foi isolada do inglúvio, fígado/baço e ceco das aves inoculadas e das contactantes. Houve isolamento de SE no T3 apenas em inglúvio e ceco das aves inoculadas e, no T4, apenas do ceco das contactantes. Em todos os grupos SE foi reisolada do material da cama, embora não em todas as semanas. A avaliação sorológica realizada com teste comercial de ELISA revelou aves sororeagentes no T1 (inoculadas e contactantes), no T2 (inoculadas) e no T3 (contactantes). Nenhuma ave foi sororeagente no T4 e T5. A transmissão horizontal foi evidenciada em todos os grupos estudados. Os dados foram comprovados por ANOVA e teste LCD. Nos grupos T3 e T4 o ácido fórmico foi eficaz em reduzir a presença e a transmissão horizontal de SE. / Salmonellosis is one of the most common and widely distributed foodborne diseases, with tens of millions of human cases occurring worldwide every year. Furthermore, this disease is responsible to significant economic losses to the poultry industry. Endemic infection of broiler chickens with Salmonella. Enteritidis (SE) and consequential human illness has been well documented. For these reasons the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of formic acid to control SE in broilers experimentally infected. Thus 360 day-old chicks were used in the experiment: 50% (180) of birds were inoculated in crop with 3x107CFU/0.1 mL of SE and 50% (180) were used as controls and kept in contact with the infected chicks. For the formic acid treatment the birds were divided into five (05) groups with six (06) replicates as follows: T1) control without additive; T2) 0.3% formic acid in the diet ; T3) 0.2% formic acid in the diet ; T4) formic acid diluted in drinking until it reached pH 4 water; T5) 0.2% formic acid microencapsulated in the food. The birds received the formic acid from the 1st to 7th day and from the 35th to 42nd days. Every seven days faeces samples were collected from the chick\'s litter and SE isolation was attempted. In the 42 day blood samples were collected for serological evaluation by means of Elisa. Additionally samples from the crop, liver/spleen and cecum were collected at necropsy and submitted to culture for SE detection. SE was isolated from crop, liver/spleen and cecum of the inoculated and contacts birds belonging to the T1, T2 and T5. Regarding the T3, SE was isolated in the crop and cecum of the inoculated birds and in the T4 only in the contacts chicks cecum. In all groups SE was isolated from the litter, although not in every week. Serological evaluation revealed serum positive birds in T1 (inoculated and contacts), T2 (inoculated) and T3 (contacts). Antibodies anti-SE were not detected in the serum from the birds of T4 and T5. Horizontal transmission was observed in all groups. The data were confirmed by ANOVA and LCD test. In groups T3 and T4 formic acid was effective in reducing the presence and horizontal transmission of SE.
