Sara Pharm scientists, together with University “Politehnica” of Bucharest, Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Material Science, “Ilie Murgulescu” Institute of Physical Chemistry, National Institute of Research and Development for Biological Sciences, Centre of Bioanalysis, National Institute of Materials Physics and the Center for Organic Chemistry C.D. Nenitescu managed to develop an efficient synthesis method for obtaining pure phase W2C at low temperatures (<1050 C),

through the carbothermal reduction of tungsten oxide species in the presence of metallic palladium nanoparticles obtained in situ. The resulting composite materials contain Pd(0) and W2C particles well-dispersed on carbon, with sizes between 50 and 500 nm, showing promise as as potential anode materials for the electro-oxidation of formic acid.

1. 1557/2011 (SARELCAT) carried out at Sara Pharm.

Sara Pharm Solutions scientists, together with University „Politehnica” of Bucharest, Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Science, Chemical Engineering Department, managed to study m-xylene catalytic combustion in a laboratory set-up, over a commercial Pt/Alumina catalyst, using concentrations typical for depollution applications. The operating conditions consisted in temperatures within the interval 120-360 ^oC, hydrocarbon concentration in the range of 450-1300 ppmv and WHSW (volume flow rate to catalyst weight ratio) between 0.067 and 0.2 m³kg^-1s^-1. In these conditions was observed a negative reaction order in respect with the m-xylene, a total m-xylene combustion being obtained at temperatures above 250 ^oC. A power law kinetic model was found to adequately correlate the experimental data. More information is available at http://www.scientificbulletin.upb.ro/rev_docs_arhiva/full8ca_174859.pdf

Sara Pharm Solutions scientists, together with University „Politehnica” of Bucharest, Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Science, Chemical Engineering Department, managed to study the combustion kinetics of the cyclooctane and o-xylene, alone and in their binary mixture, have been experimentally investigated over a commercial Pt/γ-alumina catalyst. The studies were carried out in a laboratory set-up, with diluted hydrocarbon-air mixtures, typical for depollution applications. The experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure and temperatures between 140 and 400 °C, hydrocarbons concentration 200–1000 ppmv and WHSW (mass flow rate to catalyst weight ratios) in the range 280–590 h⁻¹_. The results evidenced an important inhibition of cyclooctane combustion by the presence of o-xylene, throughout the working domain. Based on the experimental measurements and postulating surface mechanisms, rate expressions were developed for the combustion of the two hydrocarbons, in pure state and as binary mixtures. The cyclooctane was found to react by an Eley–Rideal type mechanism, whereas the o-xylene combustion was explained by a Langmuir-Hinshelwood scheme.
