Disclosed is a modified carbonaceous material, which includes hexagonal carbon networks in a layered stacking structure and acidic functional groups bonded to the hexagonal carbon networks and mainly existing at edges of the layered carbonaceous structure. Accordingly, the close proximity of acid moiety at the edges can resemble the center of hydrolysis enzymes, resulting in enhancement of hydrolytic efficiency. Additionally, the acid-functionalized carbonaceous material can also be applied in the capture and storage of carbon dioxide due to its unexpectedly higher capacity for CO.sub.2 molecular.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A catalyst for electrochemical ammonia synthesis incudes a carbon carrier composed of carbon; and 20-65 wt% of iron, copper and sulfur, based on weight of the carbon, supported in the carbon carrier. The catalyst may be coated on an electrode selected from the group consisting of carbon paper, carbon cloth, carbon felt, fluorine- doped tin oxide (FTO) conducting glass, and combinations thereof by spray coating, screen printing or ink jet printing. The catalyst has an ammonia synthesis activity up to several times to several tens of times of the activity of the existing single metal or metal oxide catalysts. Thus, when using the catalyst, it is possible to provide a method for electrochemical ammonia synthesis having an improved ammonia production yield and rate.

The present subject matter relates to the development of active catalyst composite based on supported transition metal oxides, especially, Cu, Co that are effective in the removal sulfides in the diluted spent caustic. The process for the reduction of sulfides in spent caustic comprises of reacting various organic and inorganic sulfides with molecular oxygen in the presence of active catalyst at various reaction temperatures ranging ambient to 200 C. and pressures between atmospheric pressure to 60 bars. The process also relates to complete scheme for the removal of sulfides in spent caustic.
