The obtained CuO/Ce0.6Zr0.402 samples were characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, Raman, TEM and H2-TPR technolo- gies, and their catalytic activities for CO oxidation were investigated. The results showed that the activity of CuO/Ce0.6Zr0.402 catalyst was strongly influenced by the content of CuO, and the catalyst with 10 wt.% CuO exhibited the best catalytic activity in CO oxida- tion, which could be attributed to the high dispersion and reducibility of CuO, and high oxygen vacancy concentration in the catalyst.展开更多

For instance, Jordan relies heavily on the importation of natural gas and crude oil for its energy needs;but, by applying thermochemical conversion techniques, leftover olive oil can be used to replace these energy sources. Understanding the chemical, physical, and thermal characteristics of raw materials is essential to obtaining the most out of these conversion processes. Thermogravimetric analysis was used in this study to examine the thermal behavior of olive-solid residue (kernel) at three different heating rates (5, 20 and 40 C/min) in nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres. The initial degradation temperature, the residual weight at 500 and 700˚C and the thermal degradation rate during the devolatilization stage (below 400˚C) were all determined. It was found that in N<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> atmospheres, both the initial degradation temperature and the degradation rate increase with increasing heating rates. As heating rates increase in the N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere, the residual weight at 500 or 700˚C decreases slightly, but at low heating rates compared to high heating rates in the O<sub>2</sub> atmosphere, it decreases significantly. This suggests that a longer lignin oxidation process is better than a shorter one. Coats and Redfern approach was used to identify the mechanism and activation energy for the devolatilization stage of pyrolysis and oxidation reactions. The process mechanism analysis revealed that the model of first-order and second-order reactions may adequately describe the mechanism of heat degradation of the devolatilization step of olive-solid waste for pyrolysis and oxidation processes, respectively.展开更多
