L. Calvillo
School of Chemistry, University of Southampton, Highfi eld, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK Email: l.calvillo@soton.ac.uk Introduction “PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems”, edited by Marta S. Basualdo and Diego Feroldi (French-Argentine International Center of Information and Systems Sciences, Argentina) and Rachid Outbib (LSIS-Domaine Universitaire de Saint-Jerome, Marseille, France), who are experts in simulation, control and fault detection of large systems, is part of the series Green Energy and Technology. This book presents some typical problems encountered in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems and proposes alternative ways of operation using conventional and advanced control techniques. The book is divided into two main parts. The fi rst part consists of eight chapters and is dedicated to fuel cell systems in terms of modelling, simulation, advanced control and diagnosis; the second part consists of six chapters and deals with fuel processor systems for the production of hydrogen from bioethanol. The writing style is clear and the authors give a detailed description of the systems and processes at the beginning of each chapter, which allows even the non-specialist reader to easily follow the concepts under discussion. However, in some of the chapters, prior knowledge of the specifi c software packages used is needed.
南安普敦大学化学学院,Highfi field, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UKl.calvillo@soton.ac.uk介绍“PEM燃料电池与生物乙醇处理器系统”,由Marta S. Basualdo和Diego Feroldi(阿根廷法国-阿根廷国际信息和系统科学中心)和Rachid Outbib(法国马赛圣杰罗姆大学LSIS-Domaine Universitaire de Saint-Jerome)编辑,他们是大型系统的模拟,控制和故障检测专家,是绿色能源和技术系列的一部分。本书介绍了质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)系统中遇到的一些典型问题,并提出了使用传统和先进控制技术的替代操作方法。这本书分为两个主要部分。第一部分共分八章,主要介绍了燃料电池系统的建模、仿真、高级控制和诊断;第二部分由六章组成,并讨论了用于从生物乙醇生产氢的燃料处理系统。写作风格清晰,作者在每章的开头都对系统和过程进行了详细的描述,这使得即使是非专业读者也能很容易地理解所讨论的概念。然而,在某些章节中,需要事先了解所使用的特定软件包。

*Email: felicity.sartain@bio-nano-consulting.com The photocatalytic activities of a series of titanium dioxide (TiO2) based nanoparticles, synthesised via flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), have been investigated and compared with the commercially available Evonik Aeroxide TiO2 P 25 (P 25). The effects of metal ions aluminium, tin and platinum, respectively, on the physical and chemical properties of the TiO2 nanoparticles are reported. The set of six samples were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Specific surface areas were determined using nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurements. Subsequent photocatalytic studies of the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye under UV irradiation demonstrated that addition of Al and Sn had a negative effect on catalytic performance, whereas the addition of ≤0.7 at% Pt to each sample enhanced photocatalytic activity. Most interestingly, the Pt-doped composite samples (TiO2-Sn/Pt and TiO2-Al/Pt) both showed a significantly higher rate of degradation of MO, when compared to P 25. All Pt-doped samples show an increased visible photon absorption capacity. The relationships between the physical and chemical characteristics are discussed in relation to photocatalytic performance.

The present work summarises recent experimental data on the Ir-Re system with the aim of allowing the correct solidus parts of the equilibrium phase diagram to be constructed. The examination of data obtained by different synthetic methods and thermodynamic calculations has revealed that the maximum solidphase solubilities at 2000oC of Re in Ir and Ir in Re are 20 at% and 68 at%, respectively. The binary phase diagram proposed in this paper serves as a reliable model for representing the available experimental data.
