The catalytically active vanadium-containing system of γ-Al₂O₃ was studied using a wide range of physical and chemical methods, depending on the synthesis conditions. It is shown that the vanadium-containing system includes several complexes with different thermal stabilities and catalytic activities. Low-active complexes are destroyed with the formation of more active ones based on V₂O₅ oxide, as the temperature of heat treatment increases. It can be assumed that V₂O₅ oxide has the decisive role in its catalytic activity. It was concluded that the vanadium-containing catalytic system on aluminium oxide, in the studied temperature range, is thermally stable and shows high activity not only in the reduction of nitrogen oxides but also in the oxidation of hydrocarbons (even of the most difficult ones, such as oxidizable methane). These properties of the system make it quite promising in the field of application for the purification of the exhaust gases of motor transport and industrial enterprises with environmentally harmful components, as well as for understanding the mechanism of the action of the catalysts in these processes, which is very important for solving the problems of decarbonization and achieving carbon neutrality.

In order to establish the formation patterns of the Co–Mg oxide system, samples with different Co:Mg ratios and heat treatment temperatures were synthesized and studied. A study of the samples confirmed the phase transition of Mg_xCo_2–xO₄ spinels into the corresponding solid solutions at 800–900 °C. The similarity of the formation patterns for different compositions is shown. The rocksalt oxide in low-temperature samples is an anion-modified paracrystalline phase that forms a “true” solid solution only upon spinel decomposition. The TPR profiles of the decomposed Co₃O₄ spinel show surface Co₃O₄ peaks and a wide peak corresponding to the well-crystallized CoO, while partial Co₃O₄ TPR up to 380 °C results in dispersed and amorphous CoO. The high-temperature non-stoichiometric samples are poorly reduced, indicating their low oxygen reactivity. Spinel reoxidation after heat treatment to 1100 °C by calcination at 750 °C showed complete regeneration for MgCo₂O₄–Co₃O₄ samples and its absence in case of an excess of MgO relative to stoichiometry.

Iron and chromium based alloys have found wide application in various fields of science and technology. A primary carrier based on Fe-Cr-Al alloy is used in block catalysts for high-temperature hydrocarbon conversion, in production of block metal catalysts for neutralization of toxic gases released during operation of internal combustion engines, as well as those present in smoke emissions from enterprises. The influence of thermal action on Fe-Cr-Al alloy foil and stability of the secondary carrier on its surface was studied. The elemental composition of the surface layer of Fe-Cr-Al alloy foil does not remain constant during heating and depends on the thermal treatment mode. Some of the elements come to surface and the elemental composition of the surface layer can differ significantly from that observed in the bulk of the foil sample. This implies the possibility of changing the adhesive and adsorption properties of the foil surface, as well as the need to take this fact into account when supporting a secondary carrier and active phase to the foil. An applied technique of phosphating and supporting a secondary carrier at the foil surface makes it possible to obtain a sufficiently stable coating. There is no shedding of the secondary carrier from the foil surface during high-temperature treatment in air.

Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that the processes governing the formation of Co–Mg oxide systems are determined by both Co:Mg ratio and the heat treatment conditions, potentially providing the possibility of fine tuning for specific catalytic processes.

This study presents the results of an investigation of carbonate-containing sorbents for CO₂ capture with natural support materials—kaolin and calcium carbonate—at various loadings of the active phase of Na₂CO₃. The effects of the support type on the distribution of the active component, phase composition, and pore structure of the sorbents were studied. It was found that a Na₂CO₃ loading of 25 wt.% provides the best balance between sorption capacity and technological feasibility. The thermal stability and regeneration capacity of the sorbents were evaluated under high-temperature conditions, revealing high thermal stability of the Na₂CO₃/CaCO₃ system up to 1000 °C, along with its durability over multiple adsorption–desorption cycles. Kinetic studies on the Na₂CO₃/CaCO₃ sorbent using the shrinking core model demonstrated that the overall CO₂ chemisorption process is controlled by surface chemical reaction at temperatures below 50 °C. The obtained results demonstrate the high potential of CaCO₃-based sorbents for practical applications in low-temperature CO₂ capture technologies. A promising direction for the use of such sorbents within CCUS is the development of integrated systems, where CO₂ capture is combined with its conversion into valuable products (e.g., methane, methanol, formic acid) through catalytic processes.
