AbstractThe possibility of using carbon black (CB) as a support of palladium catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of organic compounds is considered. The advantages of Pd/CB catalysts are demonstrated by examples of liquid-phase hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes and nitro compounds. The combination of high catalytic parameters (activity, sel...

AbstractBottom ash samples were collected during four seasons from the largest lignite-fired power plant of Greece, named Agios Dimitrios. Dry sieving and particle size analysis were performed for all samples. Coarse fractions were initially examined by a stereo-microscope. Four fractions (>1.25, 0.63–1.25, 0.18–0.63, 1.25 mm) of all samples, indic...

AbstractMunicipal solid waste (MSW) disposal is one of the main issues towards sustainable development. Various technologies are studied to solve it. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is an appropriate technology selection to reduce the waste volume primarily and to utilize MSW as the energy source because of its high the calorific value inside. Thi...
