1. INTRODUCTION Heterogeneous catalysis, whereby a gas-or liquid-phase reaction is
performed over a solid catalyst, is at the heart of the modern energy and chemical industries …

The first experiments on catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide were carried out at the
beginning of 20th century. In 1902, Sabatier and Senderens synthesized methane from a …

For more than half a century, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) of liquid hydrocarbons was a
technology of great potential for the indirect liquefaction of solid or gaseous carbon-based …

Cobalt-mediated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is an effective way to generate sulfate
radicals for the degradation of pollutants. Herein, a heterogeneous Co-based catalyst was …

The development of synthetic protocols for the preparation of highly loaded metal
nanoparticle-supported catalysts has received a great deal of attention over the last few …

The structure of cobalt species at different stages of the genesis of monometallic and Pt-
promoted cobalt alumina-supported Fischer–Tropsch catalysts was studied using X-ray …

Diminishing petroleum reserves, sharp fluctuations of crude oil prices, increasingly stringent
environmental regulations and the global demand for a decreased dependence on …

Supported and unsupported nanocrystalline cobalt oxides have been shown to be extremely
efficient catalysts for the total oxidation of propane. Total conversion with a high stability has …

The structure of alumina-supported cobalt catalysts promoted with platinum and their
catalytic performance in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis were investigated under realistic …

Recently, sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation technologies have shown significant
implications for environmental remediation to decompose water pollutants. In this study, we …
