Fully Catalytic

The traditional approach to catalytic combustion is to burn all or most of the fuel/ air mixture in the catalyst in order to minimize NO.v production. This means that 

The problems encountered in developing catalysts for fully catalytic combustion have led to the development of various design approaches in which the catalyst temperature stays below the combustor outlet temperature. These approaches are described in the following sections.

Nitration of aromatic rings is possible by use of Pd(N03)2[356], Pd(OAc)2-NaN02[357], Pd(0Ac)2-N02[358], and Pd(0)-NO2[359], The nitration can be carried out fully catalytically by Pd(0Ac)2-N02 and oxygen. This reaction offers a promising new method of nitration without using mixed acids of HNO3 and H2SO4.

Methane reactants within noncatalytic channels remain unburned and they must be combusted in a fully catalytic stage or in a homogenous flame. A fully catalytic monolith would cause the catalyst to reach adiabatic temperatures and to deactivate. Thus, the only practical option is to complete the combustion in a homogenous combustion process. 

The catalytic activity of substituted hexa-aluminates for methane combustion is low compared with noble metals, like Pd. For use in a fully catalytic combustor, these materials will have to be combined with a first stage with higher activity. For other fuels the differences are not so pronounced, e.g. for diesel. Hexa-aluminates also show a high activity in CO and H2 combustion and gasified biomass. For these kinds of fuels the ignition temperatures over hexa-aluminates are in the same area as the outlet temperature from the gas turbine compressor. 

During the last five years, several successful pilot- and full-scale demonstrations of catalytic combustors for gas turbine applications have been presented. Here, we have divided these systems into five different classes the large- and small-size fully catalytic combustor (designs la and b) and the hybrid designs with partially inactive catalyst, with secondary fuel and with secondary air (designs Ila, b and c). The first part of this section is devoted to fundamental gas turbine considerations, which will be followed by a summary of demonstrations of catalytic combustors.

However, the fully catalytic design (la and b) is different compared to a second class of catalytic combustors, denoted hybrid designs (IIa,b and c), where a post-catalytic homogeneous combustion zone is used to complete the combustion and increase the temperature further. Hybrid designs are discussed in the following section. 

Secondly, the walls are fully catalytic. Recombinations maintain, close to the wall, a thin layer with a low density of charged species. Such a layer acts as a thermal insulator and prevents a large increase in heat transfer When this layer is under ionization equilibrium, its composition depends only on temperature, so it has the same thickness as the thermal layer. 

Such multistep, combined syntheses are common in everyday life. They are carried out in a fully catalytic way by using enzymes with relatively limited amounts of reagents (cofactors) and thus produce much less waste. The mutual compatibility and high selectivity of the enzymatic conversions make it possible to proceed without intermediate recovery steps. They save energy by avoiding the separation and isolation of intermediates B and C. Figure 4.5 compares classical chemical synthesis with biosynthesis. 

This article provides a brief overview of the development of the pH-neutral, desulfitative coupling of thioorganics with boronic acids and describes the evolution of the original process into two new fully catalytic reaction systems that are now poised for bioconjugative desulfitative applications. 

In 1999, Doye disclosed that dimethyltitanocene is a catalyst widely applicable to intermolecular hydroamination of alkynes with primary aryl- and alkylamines [302]. In the case of unsymmetrically substituted alkynes, the reaction occurs with high re-gioselectivity, forming the anti-Markovnikov products exclusively (Scheme 14.127). Kinetic studies suggest that the reaction mechanism involves the formation of a Ti-imido complex as the catalytically active species. Doye further developed a tandem Ti-catalyzed protocol of alkyne hydroamination and imine reduction, affording secondary amines in a fully catalytic one-pot reaction [303]. 

A fully catalytic system for the enantioselective addition of Grignard reagents was known for the 1,4-addition to a,p-unsaturated ketones and involved copper(I)-based complexes as catalysts. Since it was thought that the nature of copper was to promote the opposite regioselectivity (1,4-addition), the implementation of such a...
