Construction of data streams applications from functional, non-functional and resource requirements for electric vehicle aggregators. the COSMOS vision

COSMOS, Computer Science for Complex System Modeling, is a research team that has the mission of bridging the gap between formal methods and real problems. The goal is twofold: (1) a better management of the growing complexity of current systems; (2) a high quality of the implementation reducing the time to market. The COSMOS vision is to prove this approach in non-trivial industrial problems leveraging technologies such as software engineering, cloud computing, or workflows. In particular, we are interested in the technological challenges arising from the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry, around the EV-charging and control IT infrastructure

Vanadium oxide supported on porous clay heterostructure for the partial oxidation of hydrogen sulphide to sulfur

Vanadium oxide supported on porous clay heterostructures (PCH) catalysts have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated in the selective oxidation of H2S to elemental sulfur. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, adsorption-desorption of N-2 at -196 degrees C, diffuse reflectance UV-vis, H-2-TPR, Raman spectroscopy and XPS. The catalysts with higher vanadium content are more active and selective, exhibiting a H2S conversion close to 70% after 360h on stream with a high selectivity toward elemental sulfur and a low formation of undesired SO2. The catalysts with V2O5 crystallites have shown a higher activity and resistance to the deactivation. The analysis of the spent catalyst has revealed the formation of V4O9 crystals during the catalytic test, which has been reported as the active phase in the selective oxidation of the H2S.

Elucidating the structure of the W and Mn sites on the Mn-Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) at real reaction temperatures

[EN] The performance of the Mn-NaWO/SiO catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) has been ascribed to crystalline phases that are not present at reaction temperatures (>700 °C). The evolution of W and Mn sites structure was monitored via in situ TPO-XRD, -Raman, and -XANES spectroscopies. TPO-XRD shows that the crystalline phases identified on the Mn-NaWO/SiO, NaWO/SiO, and WO/SiO catalysts at room temperature do not exist at relevant OCM temperatures. The γ → β → α-WO, α → β-cristobalite, and cubic → orthorhombic → molten-NaWO phase transitions occur upon heating. TPO-Raman spectra show that the bond order of W sites with octahedral (O) and tetrahedral (T) symmetry changes during the δ → γ → β → α-WO and cubic → orthorhombic → molten-NaWO transitions, respectively. TPO-XANES spectra show that bond order changes are due to distortion degree variations because all samples preserve essentially W valence and O-Mn sites are always present on Mn-NaWO/SiO catalyst. Steady-state OCM tests show that O-W sites are inactive and T-W sites are less distorted and more active towards methane activation in the presence of O-Mn sites.This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES)- Finance Code 001.
