The control of selectivity in rutile-type Sn/V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides, catalysts for propane ammoxidation
The control of catalytic performance of rutile-type Sn/V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides, catalysts for propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile
Arcozzi, Elena Ballarini, Nicola Cavani, Fabrizio Cimini, Massimo Lucarelli, Carlo Trifiro, Ferruccio Delichere, Pierre Millet, Jean-Marc M. Marion, PhilippeInternational audienceThis paper describes the effect of the composition of rutile-type Sn/V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides catalysts on the catalytic performance in the gas-phase ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile. The variation in the atomic ratio between components in catalysts is the key for the control of activity and selectivity. In samples with atomic composition Sn/V/Nb/Sb 1/0.2/1/x (0 <= x <= 5) and 1/0.2/y/3 (0 <= y <= 3) several compounds formed, i.e., SnO2, Sb/Nb mixed oxide, Sb6O13 and non-stoichiometric rutile-type V/Nb/Sb/O; the latter segregated preferentially at the surface of the catalyst. Tin oxide provided the rutile matrix for the dispersion of the mixed oxides. The main role of Sb was shown to generate mixed oxides containing specific sites for the allylic ammoxidation of propylene intermediately formed. The presence of Nb enhanced the activity and selectivity of these sites. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

The control of catalytic performance of rutile-type Sn/V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides, catalysts for propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile
This paper describes the effect of the composition of rutile-type Sn/V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides catalysts on the
catalytic performance in the gas-phase ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile. The variation in the
atomic ratio between components in catalysts is the key for the control of activity and selectivity. In
samples with atomic composition Sn/V/Nb/Sb 1/0.2/1/x (0 x 5) and 1/0.2/y/3 (0 y 3) several
compounds formed, i.e., SnO2, Sb/Nbmixed oxide, Sb6O13 and non-stoichiometric rutile-type V/Nb/Sb/O;
the latter segregated preferentially at the surface of the catalyst. Tin oxide provided the rutile matrix for
the dispersion of the mixed oxides. The main role of Sb was shown to generate mixed oxides containing
specific sites for the allylic ammoxidation of propylene intermediately formed. The presence of Nb
enhanced the activity and selectivity of these sites
Hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol Part II: Support effect for CoMoS catalysts on HDO activity and selectivity
3-4 Van Ngoc Bui Laurenti, Dorothee Delichere, Pierre Geantet, ChristopheBio-oils coming from ligno-cellulosic biomass are suitable material for the production of second generation biofuels. The oxygenated compounds have to be eliminated to confer good properties to these bio-oils and to permit their addition to traditional fuels. Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process which allows O-elimination by C-O bond cleavage under H-2 can be realized with the same type of catalysts as those used in HDS, supported CoMoS or NiMoS phases. In this work, the support effect associated with CoMoS catalysts has been investigated in guaiacol HDO reaction. Zirconia and titania supports have been compared with the traditional industrially used gamma-alumina and it appeared that zirconia as support gave very efficient conversion of guaiacol into deoxygenated hydrocarbons with a totally different selectivity. The difference in selectivity allowed us to propose a different reaction scheme compared to gamma-alumina and titania supported CoMoS. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
