Academic literature on the topic 'M-PTC'

The diploma thesis is focused on the study of chemical reaction products in prebiotic atmospheres. The theoretical part deals with the main theories of composing the atmosphere of the early Earth, hypotheses of the origin of life and genetic code in the form of RNA, the atmosphere of the moon Titan and the basic characteristics of the gliding arc discharge, and the analytical techniques used in the diploma thesis. In the experimental part, study of products was carried out by experimental atmospheric simulations in a special stainless steel reactor in various mixtures of gases N2, CH4, CO2 and O2. The electrical discharge for atmospheric simulation was generated by an electrode configuration for the gliding arc discharge and glow discharge. Detection and identification of chemical reaction products was performed by Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID), Testo 350 M/XL and Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS). A theoretical kinetic model was created to predict and confirm the detected products. During the experiments, the dependence of the product intensity on changes in the composition of the gaseous mixture and the applied value of the electric current was also observed.

For comparison, catalysts the tungsten base was also prepared by the impregnation method. After calcinations at 600, 700 and 800 ?C, the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopy. The profile of metals reduction was determined by temperature programmed reduction. The synthesized catalysts were tested in n-heptane isomerization. X-ray diffractogram of the Pt/WOx-ZrO2 and Pt/MoOx-ZrO2 catalysts revealed the presence of tetragonal ZrO2 and platinum metallic phases in all calcined samples. Diffraction peaks due WO3 and ZrO2 monoclinic also were observed in some samples of the Pt/WOx-ZrO2 catalysts. In the Pt/MoOx-ZrO2 catalysts also were observed diffraction peaks due ZrO2 monoclinic and Zr(MoO4)2 oxide. These phases contained on Pt/WOx-ZrO2 and Pt/MoOx-ZrO2 catalysts varied in accordance with the W or Mo loading and in accordance with the calcination temperature. The infrared spectra showed absorption bands due O-W-O and W=O bonds in the Pt/WOx-ZrO2 catalysts and due O-Mo-O, Mo=O and Mo-O bonds in the Pt/MoOx-ZrO2 catalysts. Specific surface area for Pt/WOx-ZrO2 catalysts varied from 30-160 m2 g-1 and for the Pt/MoOx-ZrO2 catalysts varied from 10-120 m2 g-1. The metals loading (W or Mo) and the calcination temperature influence directly in the specific surface area of the samples. The reduction profile of Pt/WOx-ZrO2 catalysts showed two peaks at lower temperatures, which are attributed to platinum reduction. The reduction of WOx species was evidenced by two reduction peak at high temperatures. In the case of Pt/MoOx-ZrO2 catalysts, the reduction profile showed three reduction events, which are attributed to reduction of MoOx species deposited on the support and in some samples one of the peak is related to the reduction of Zr(MoO4)2 oxide. Pt/WOx-ZrO2 catalysts were active in the n-heptane isomerization with high selectivity to 3-methyl-hexane, 2,3- dimethyl-pentane, 2-methyl-hexane among other branched hydrocarbons.
