Oxidation Kinetics of a Commercial Diesel Fuel and Its Fraction in the Presence of Metal-Containing Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Admixtures
This study is to evaluate the extent of aerobic oxidation of diesel fuel fractions in the presence of Fe-Co-containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fe-Co@MWCNT). Fe-Co clusters located in the nanocarbon channels and outside actively catalyse the chain oxidation. Results suggest selecting efficient nanocatalytic systems for the oxidative conversion of multicomponent hydrocarbon feedstocks.
