Adsorptivity of Some Organic Compounds to Copper Nanoparticles

Adsorptivity of some organic compounds to the copper nanoparticles prepared using the levitation-jet generator was characterized by inverse gas chromatography. The measured values of a specific volume of retained sorbate were used to calculate adsorption heats and entropy factors of the process

Hydrogenation of Xylenes, Ethylbenzene, and Isopropylbenzene on Ni Nanoparticles

Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the catalysts containing 15% of the Ni nanoparticles prepared by the levitation-jet method in the hydrogenation of xylenes, ethylbenzene, and isopropylbenzene were studied using a laboratory-made chromatographic setup. At relatively low hydrogen pressure (2 atm) and temperatures of 423–493 K, our catalysts provide a high extent of conversion of the compounds studied and selectivity concerning p-xylene
