Developing effective catalyst for mine methane conversion to hydrogen-containing gas

The Ni/Ce[1-x]La[x]O[y] and Ni/Ce[1-x]La[x]O[y]/Al[2]O[3] catalysts (x=0-1) were prepared for the mine methane conversion to hydrogen-containing gas. The influence of the support composition on the physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts and their activity in autothermal reforming of methane (ATR of CH[4]) was studied. It was shown that the dispersion of the Ni active component was enhanced with growth of molar ratio of La in the support composition that leads to the increase in catalyst stability in ATR of CH[4]. The Ni/Ce[1-x]La[x]O[y]/Al[2]O[3] catalysts in comparison to the Ni/Ce[1]-xLa[x]O[y] provide higher H[2] yield: at 850oC it is equal to 65-75%

The development of post-processing algorithm for the ultrasonic evaluation by the application of automated robotic testing systems

The implementation of automated testing systems based on six degrees of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulators is the actual trend in ultrasonic testing equipment development. Such systems are able to provide a fast ultrasonic evaluation with the respect of the surface of the testing object. In this work, the post-processing algorithm based on Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) is suggested. Such algorithm allows presenting the results in the form of high-resolution imagery of the internal structure of testing objects. The suggested algorithm is applicable in the case of the utilization of automated testing systems based on six DOF robotic manipulators and takes into account all the features conditioned by such equipment application. Performance of the suggested algorithm was tested experimentally
