    Structure and activity of nickel supported on hibonite-type La-hexaaluminates synthesized from aluminum saline slags for the dry reforming of methane

    This work describes the procedures followed to obtain four hibonite-type La-hexaaluminates (La-HA) using aluminum saline slag waste as the aluminum source. Briefly, an acid-extracted aluminum solution (8.9 gAl/L) was used to synthesize the hexaaluminate by mixing with a stoichiometric amount of lanthanum nitrate and 2-propanol/polyethylene glycol/methanol/1-hexanol/glucose depending on the hydrothermal conditions of the synthesis. The results showed the formation of pure-phase hexaaluminate at 1473 K in all cases, with differences in the textural properties between the materials. The solids obtained were used as supports for nickel catalysts (10 wt.%) for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) at 973 K. The supports and catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption at 77 K, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). An effect of the textural properties, dispersión of the metallic phase and nickel-support interaction on the performance of the catalyst was found. Our results also show a new application of a catalyst synthesized from an industrial waste such as aluminum saline slags.

    Development of ceramic-MOF filters from aluminum saline slags for capturing CO2
    (Elsevier, 2023) Torrez Herrera, Jonathan Josué; Korili, Sophia A.; Gil Bravo, Antonio; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    This study describes the procedures followed to synthesize ceramic-MOF filters using aluminum saline slag wastes. Briefly, the raw aluminum saline slags were washed at 80 ◦C to significantly reduce the saline content and eliminate gases. The pretreated material was mixed with glucose (G/S ratios between 0.2 and 1.6) and acetone by stirring for 4 h. After this time, the resulting solid was dried at 60 ◦C and then at 190 ◦C. During the glucose caramelization step, PegMn400 was also added and the temperature increased to 1200 ◦C. The obtained solid was impregnated with precursor solutions to achieve a supported ZIF-8 MOF. The ceramic-MOF filters were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption at 77 K, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), thereby confirming the presence of a structure that allows dispersion of the synthesized and supported ZIF-8. Finally, the performance of these ceramic-MOF filters as CO2 adsorbents was evaluated in the temperature range 50–300 ◦C, with isosteric heats of 19 kJ/mol being obtained using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
