研究人员开发催化剂，以减少多达40％的温室气体排放

研究人员电化学研究与技术发展中心（CideTeq）in Mexico are involved in developing a catalyst to enhance natural gas combustion, as well as to enable reduction of about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions which occur during industrial processes.

The research team was headed by Jorge Morales Hernandez, who explained that the project will be mainly focusing on the efficient use of energy and natural gas. He added that there is a possibility that they will explore other levels as well."We propose the system, on a larger consumer scale, to industries requiring natural gas production such as cement or window makers and on a smaller scale to the automotive sector."

In 2013, nearly 75,000 tons of CO₂发出。该项目凭借其40％的减少计划，可以使30,000吨仅在发电部门中减少。埃尔南德斯（Hernandez）指出，如果在玻璃或水泥制造中实施，它将被证明具有很高的价值，并且具有积极的经济影响。

CideTeQ研究分为两个阶段。最初的研究将涉及至关重要的研究，其中一种金属陶瓷材料被开发为用于催化剂的支持。由于这些元素提供了非常好的热稳定性，因此它将构成钛的硼化物和氮化物。铂和钯的受控纳米颗粒分散体借助支撑结构，使天然气的催化燃烧。

钛是该技术的关键要素，因为它能够处理约3000°C的极端温度。因此，金属碱是热稳定的，并允许发生铂和钯纳米颗粒的控制蒸发。欧洲杯猜球平台

这将通过在燃烧中提高混合物的火焰温度来提高燃烧技术。这将随后减少天然气消耗，并导致温室气体的排放降低。

“因此，催化剂是由钛（作为支撑剂）制成的，是支撑和活性材料（铂和钯）的测量尺寸。指示莫拉莱斯·埃尔南德斯。

The catalyst will find use in cement, glass, automotive and steel sectors, where natural gas is widely used. The basic design of the catalyst comprises a porous material, which can be fitted in industrial burners.

Hernandez hopes to test the catalyst practically with the help of a company or government agency interested in this technology. This testing would help the team to observe the catalyst’s rate of maturation and they could then carry out technological and commercial development.

The research is under evaluation at the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) in Mexico, through the National Endowment for the solution of national problems.
