    Ethylene oxide (EO) is a pivotal derivative in the ethylene industry,which is next to polyethylene in importance.Silver (Ag)-based catalysts exhibit exceptional performance in the epoxidation of ethylene to EO.The RS-891 catalyst,synthesized via the impregnation method,was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),mercury intrusion porosimetry,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O2-TPD) to elucidate its structural and chemical properties.The catalytic performance of RS-891 in the epoxidation of ethylene to produce EO was systematically evaluated.The results demonstrate that the α-Al2O3 support utilized in the RS-891 catalyst possesses a lamellar structure with an interlocking configuration,which enhances the mechanical strength of the support and promotes the uniform dispersion of silver nanoparticles.This structural feature effectively mitigates nanoparticle aggregation,thereby extending the operational lifespan of the catalyst.Laboratory evaluations conducted over 1 500 h,corroborated by industrial operational data,indicate that the RS-891 catalyst achieves an EO selectivity exceeding 88% after 100 h of operation,with a consistent upward trend in selectivity thereafter.Once selectivity surpasses 88%,the catalyst maintains stable and reliable performance,ensuring high catalytic efficiency.The close alignment between industrial application data and laboratory results underscores the exceptional stability of the RS-891 catalyst,highlighting its significant potential for industrial applications and substantial economic value.

    In order to improve the phenomenon of micro-pores caused by water evaporation in the film forming process of epoxy acrylate emulsion,four different oxidized polyethylene waxes XW-17,XE-16,PED522 and 629A were used to modify the epoxy emulsion.Due to the high melting point of oxidized polyethylene wax,it was used as a functional monomer to modify epoxy acrylate,and its optimal amount was studied.Finally,epoxy emulsion was prepared by soap-free core-shell emulsion polymerization.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed that oxidized polyethylene wax was successfully introduced into epoxy acrylate.The optimum addition amount of oxidized polyethylene wax was determined by cross-linking degree and water absorption.The microstructure of emulsion before and after modification was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Thermal weight (TGA),static water contact angle and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to test the emulsion dry film before and after modification.The results showed that the addition of oxidized polyethylene wax could improve the thermal properties and roughness of the emulsion dry film,but did not change the hydrophilicity of the emulsion dry film.The optimum addition amount of oxidized polyethylene wax to modified epoxy acrylate was mass fraction of 0.3%,and the modified emulsion with 629A had the best performance.

    As the third largest greenhouse gas followed by CO2 and CH4,N2O has been increasing year by year due to its inevitable generation and emission in the processes of ammonia oxidation in nitric acid production,SCR purification of NOx,and ammonia combustion.Therefore,the purification and elimination of N2O are particularly crucial.Direct catalytic decomposition has emerged as one of the most promising methods for reducing N2O emissions due to its high efficiency and no secondary pollution.This article first provides a detailed review of the research progress of N2O decomposition catalysts in recent years,reviewing the practical application and future development trends of N2O high-temperature decomposition catalysts (two-stage catalysts) in the nitric acid production,focusing on the research trends of three major types of N2O low-temperature decomposition catalysts,such as precious metal catalysts,Co-based oxide catalysts,and Co or Fe-based molecular sieve catalysts,and summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of these catalysts.In addition,a simple discussion is provided on the decomposition mechanism of N2O on typical Co and Fe-based catalysts.Selective catalytic reduction as one of the main technological routes for elimination of N2O is also compared using different reducing agents such as CO,H2,alkanes,etc.Finally,it identifies existing issues in current catalytic systems and outlines future prospects for N2O catalytic decomposition.

    This study discusses the problems and countermeasures of catalysts including geometric appearance,chemical properties and process performance in a thermal power plant running for 24 000 h to give suggestion on catalyst life management.The results show that the microstructure of the gas-turbine SCR catalysts is changed,and pore channels were blocked,which cause a decrease in specific surface area and pore volume.The content of main chemical components is decreased,while impurities and alkali metals causing catalyst slightly poisoning are increased.The process performance test results showed that the denitrification efficiency decreased and ammonia escape increased,while press drop was stable.Catalyst performnace still meets the requirements of running.It is recommended to monitor the performance of the catalyst closely,and if necessary,replacing or regenerating the catalyst to ensure the operation of the unit safely and steadily is important.

    Pyrite (FeS2) is an inexpensive and widely available natural iron sulfide mineral that shows great potential for organic pollutant degradation.However,its easily oxidizable nature leads to the formation of oxidized pyrite whose catalytic activity is to be explored deeply.In this study,we explored the perf-ormance of pyrite in the catalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) in water in a heterogeneous Fenton system.The effects of catalyst dosage,H2O2 concentration,pH value,anion and humic acid on the degradation of RhB were investigated.The results showed that the degradation of RhB solution was 96.5% in 20 min under the conditions of catalyst dosage of 0.5 g·L-1,H2O2 concentration of 4.0 mmol·L-1 and reaction temperature of 25 ℃.It was adaptable in a wide pH value of 3~9 and effectively resisted the effects of inorganic anions and humic acids in the water column.

    The coal char and methane-carbon dioxide co-conversion reaction characteristics were investigated in a thermogravimetric reactor.The effects of reaction temperature the flow rate ratio of methane to carbon dioxide on the methane, carbon dioxide conversion, hydrogen and carbon monoxide yields were examined.The results show that during the co-conversion process,the methane conversion increases with the rise of reaction temperature,while the coal char carbon conversion increases firstly and then decreases with the rise of temperature.The methane and coal char carbon conversion decrease with the increase of methane concentration.Methane and hydrogen play different roles in carbon gasification.Methane has a hindering effect,while carbon dioxide has a promoting effect.Within the range studied,the conversion reaction conditions can be used to adjust the H2/CO ratio in the product gas and better meet the requirements of subsequent process.
