Hydrophobic polymer-coated metal oxide catalysts for effective low-temperature oxidation of CO under moisture-rich conditions
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-04)The first example of a highly water-tolerant, hydrophobic polymer coated metal oxide catalyst systems is reported for CO oxidation. Studies show that protected catalysts have 5.3 times longer lifetimes than unprotected ... -
Facile one-step template-free synthesis of uniform hollow microstructures of cryptomelane-type manganese oxide K-OMS-2
(2010-08)Hollow microstructures of cryptomelane-type manganese oxide were produced in a template-free one-step process based on the fine-tuning of the oxidation rate of manganese species during the synthesis. The tuning of the ... -
H2 production through the water-gas shift reaction: An in situ time-resolved x-ray diffraction investigation of manganese OMS-2 catalyst
(Science Direct, 2010-10-25)Manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) catalyst prepared by the reflux method was investigated for hydrogen generation via the water-gas shift reaction. Catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction ... -
Analyses of geophagic materials consumed by pregnant women in Embu, Meru and Chuka towns in eastern province, Kenya
(2011)Geophagy is the deliberate consumption of soil and clay deposits by animals, including man. During pregnancy all the nourishment needed by the developing fetus comes from the mother, either the food she eats or the supplement ... -
Self-assembly of manganese oxide nanoparticles and hollow spheres. Catalytic activity in carbon monoxide oxidation†
(2011)Reactions between MnSO4 and KMnO4 in the presence of carboxylic acids provide a facile, one-pot route to nanostructured manganese oxides with high surface areas. Acetic and propionic acid induce formation of hierarchical ... -
Chemical And Mineralogical Analysis of Geophagic Materials Consumed By Pregnant Women In Eastern Nairobi And Nyanza Provinces In Kenya
(2011)Geophagy is the purposeful or deliberate consumption of Earth and clay deposits by animals, including man. It is a special type of pica, which is defined as the craving and subsequent consumption of non-food substances. ... -
Enhancement of the photo degradation of N-nitrosodimethylamine in water using amorphous and platinum manganese oxide catalysts
(ELSEVIER, 2011-01-25)The enhancement of the photodegradation of toxic N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in water using amorphous manganese oxide (AMO) and platinum manganese oxide (Pt/Mn3O4) catalysts was investigated. Characterization of the ... -
Light-assisted synthesis of metal oxide heirarchical structures and their catalytic applications
