Selective dehydration of glycerol to acrolein over mesoporous WO3-KIT-6: effects of mesoporosity and acidity

The catalytic performance of tungsten oxide, WO3-KIT-6 in the selective dehydration of glycerol to acrolein was studied. The chemical and structural properties of the catalysts were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption (BET) isotherms, temperature-programmed ammonia (TPD-NH3) desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM, TGA, Raman and pyridine adsorption FTIR. Catalysts synthesized by the hydrolytic sol-gel (HSG) method showed quantitative conversion of glycerol and acrolein selectivity. The medium-strength surface acidity of the catalyst and mesoporosity played a crucial role in the dehydration of glycerol to acrolein. The maximum stable acrolein selectivity of 55% at 98% glycerol conversion was obtained over 25 wt%W-KIT-6(100) (7.9 nm average pore size) catalyst having the highest concentration of medium-strength acid sites. The effects of mesopore sizes and the selective dehydration of glycerol were elucidated. The catalyst with the largest mesopores diameter displayed higher reactivity, longer lifetime, and improved selectivity

Viaggi e Viaggiatori - Percorsi nell'Italiano per il Turismo

"VIAGGI E VIAGGIATORI - Percorsi nell’Italiano per il Turismo", è uno strumento di familiarizzazione con l’Italiano in uso nel settore turistico. Il testo è rivolto a studenti stranieri di livello B1-B2 che desiderino migliorare le competenze linguistiche attraverso la lettura e l’analisi di una varietà di testi specialistici. Il volume, non solo mira ad approfondire le molteplici sfaccettature del turismo "Made in Italy" intraprendendo un viaggio virtuale nel Belpaese ma, nel contempo, attraverso l'esplorazione della galassia turistica, offre anche una riflessione linguistica in ambito specialistico. Il ricavato delle vendite sarà totalmente devoluto in beneficenza a ONLUS che operano nel settore del turismo accessibile e sostenibile

Propeller Effects on mmWave UAV Channels: A Statistical and Empirical Modeling Study

In this study, a statistical analysis of the simplest drone-to-drone millimeter waves (mmWave) communication channel is presented along with the field measurement results. The statistical analysis reveals that propeller blade rotation for the simplest transmission scenario could be modeled with angle modulation accompanied with an on-off process whose characteristics are determined by several factors including blade shape and material, vibrating body due to propeller thrust, antenna position and its possible wobble. The results are presented along with discussion and future directions
