CAREER: The Relationship Between Surface Conductivity and Surface Reaction Pathways

摘要Kirk Schulz考察了几种烷基和环状有机硫化合物在模型硫化钼催化剂上的脱硫活性随表面电导率的变化。讨论的问题包括选择性随表面电导率的变化，硫空位的催化活性，表面电导率与硫化物材料催化活性的关系，以及硫化物单晶和硫化物单晶之间的异同。这项研究中涉及的问题对于将非常成功的原油脱硫经验技术推广到其他系统，如烟道气和废水具有重要意义。这是一个教师早期职业发展奖。它包括努力引入“跨课程写作”(WAC)计划，以提高化学工程本科生的陈述技能，开发一种评估写作技能的工具，并应用该工具来评估这种方法的有效性。***

ABSTRACT Kirk Schulz This is an investigation of the variations in reactivity for desulfurization of several alkyl and cyclic organosulfur compounds on model molybdenum sulfide catalysts as a function of surface conductivity. Among issues addressed are selectivity changes as a function of surface conductivity, the catalytic activity of sulfur vacancies, the correlation of surface conductivity with catalytic activity of sulfide materials, and the similarities and differences between sulfided single crystals and single crystals of sulfides. The issues addressed in this study are important in extending the very successful empirical technology for desulfurizing crude oil to other systems such as flue gas and wastewater. This is a Faculty Early Career Development award. It includes an effort to introduce a "writing-across-the curriculum" (WAC) program to improve presentation skills of chemical engineering undergraduates, the development of a tool to assess writing skills, and the application of this tool to assess the effectiveness of this approach. ***
