The lanthanum nickelate, LaNiO 3-δ , perovskite catalyst was synthesized by the Pechini process, characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns, iodometric titrations, BET-surface area and scanning electron microscopy. The material obtained was used as catalyst for n-heptane combustion in the temperature range of 350-450ºC under dynamic air atmosphere, in a fixed bed continuous flow reactor. This catalyst shows very good performance in n-heptane combustion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
