• An In-situ FTIR Study of the Methanol to Hydrocarbons Reaction Over Zeolite Catalysts 

      Forselv, Stian (Master thesis, 2011)
      This thesis investigates several different types of zeolites during the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons, and examines the effects of the differences between them. All samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, ICP-MS ...
    • Characterization of Gold and Copper Species in Nanoporous Materials 

      Opsahl, Anette (Master thesis, 2012)
      Global warming and energy production from other sources than fossil fuels have the last years attracted more and more attention. Catalysis plays an important role in controlling the emission of greenhouse gases and other ...
    • Oxygenate conversion over protonated zeolites. 

      van der Wijst, Cornelis Gerardus (Master thesis, 2013)
      In this thesis, a number of commercial zeolites and a silicalite have been characterised using transmission FT-IR in a vacuum cell. The samples were then investigated in situ by DRIFTS during methanol conversion at 350oC, ...
    • Stabilization of Trivalent Vanadium in Zeotypic Systems 

      Johansen, Frank Edvardsen (Master thesis, 2013)
      Currently there is an increasing need to design and develop more environmental friendly and more effective catalytic systems for industrial chemical reactions. The need for effective catalytic systems applies strongly to ...
    • Synthesis and Characterization of Gold and Copper Nanoparticles in Mesoporous Frameworks 

      Hoholm, Rebekka Stavrum (Master thesis, 2012)
      In this thesis, the mesoporous materials SBA-15 and Al-SBA-15 have been synthesized and characterized. In addition, syntheses of mesoporous AlPO and SAPO have been investigated. SAPO was successfully synthesized, while ...
