The widespread utilization and commercialization of hydrodechlorination (HDC) over Pd-based catalysts as a remediation technique has been impeded because of catalyst deactivation problems such as formation of carbonaceous deposits under the reductive environment of HDC. In this study, we investigated the use of a novel animated material, swellable organically-modified silica (SOMS), as a catalyst scaffold for HDC of trichloroethylene (TCE) to develop a catalytic system resistant to carbon formation. The state of aggregation of adsorbed TCE on Pd/SOMS was characterized. It was found that the unique nature of SOMS scaffold caused condensation of adsorbents in the SOMS matrix. This is of particular importance considering the fact that the increase of local concentration of reactants due to condensation may enhance the kinetics of catalytic reactions. To determine the resistance to the formation of carbonaceous materials under reaction conditions, in-situ vibrational spectroscopy experiments (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and laser Raman spectroscopy) were undertaken over Pd-incorporated SOMS in the absence and presence of water vapor in the reactant stream. The commonly used HDC catalyst Pd/Al2O3 was also studied for comparison purposes. Formation of carbonaceous deposits of different nature were observed over Pd/Al2O3 whereas no detectable carbon formation was observed over Pd/SOMS. It was confirmed that surface hydroxyl groups which are in basic character act as coking agents. The carbon formation resistant behavior of Pd/SOMS is closely related to the nature and low concentration of surface hydroxyl groups.

Effect of high-temperature on the swellable organically-modified silica (SOMS) and its application to gas-phase hydrodechlorination of trichloroethylene Sohn, Hyuntae; Çelik, Gökhan; Gunduz, Seval; Majumdar, Sreshtha Sinha; Dean, Stacey L.; Edmiston, Paul L.; Ozkan, Umit S. (2017-01-01) Pd catalysts supported on swellable organically-modified silica (SOMS) and high-temperature treated swellable organically-modified silica (H-SOMS) were characterized and tested for gas-phase hydrodechlorination (HDC) of trichloroethylene (TCE) conditions. The high-temperature treatment on SOMS resulted in an increase in surface area and pore diameter as well as significant improvement of Pd dispersion on H-SOMS with smaller Pd particle sizes compared to the Pd/SOMS catalyst. Although the high-temperature tr...
Detection of specific solvent rearrangement regions of an enzyme: NMR and ITC studies with aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3 ')-IIIa Özen, Can; Land, Miriam L.; Tjioe, Elina; Serpersu, Engin H. (2008-01-08) This work describes differential effects of solvent in complexes of the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3')-IIIa (APH) with different aminoglycosides and the detection of change in solvent structure at specific sites away from substrates. Binding of kanamycins to APH occurs with a larger negative Delta H in H2O relative to D2O (Delta Delta H(H2O-D2O) < 0), while the reverse is true for neomycins. Unusually large negative Delta C-p values were observed for binding of aminoglycosides to APH. Delta C-p for t...
Reaction of Metal-Carbene Complexes with Cyclobutenediones: The First General C-C Bond Insertion Reaction for Fischer Carbene Complexes Zora, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01) Alkylcarbene-chromium complexes react with cyclobutenediones to give 2-alkoxy-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones in moderate yield, accompanied by varying amounts of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione derivatives which result from reduction of the initial product by the chromium byproduct. The reaction is general for a variety of cyclobutenedione derivatives with alkoxy, alkyl, or aryl substituents. The major products of the reaction between arylcarbene complexes and cyclobutenediones are 5-alkylidenefuranone derivatives. A m...

Preparation and characterization of ni-nitrilotriacetic acid bearing Poly(Methacrylic acid) coated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles TURAL, Bilsen; KAYA, Murat; Özkan, Necati; Volkan, Mürvet (2008-02-01) Stable superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) in aqueous solution. The polymer coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. These measurements reveal the presence of magnetite nanoparticles with a size of approximately 8 nm inside...
