Catalytic activity of bimetal-containing Co,Pd systems in the oxidation of carbon monoxide

The catalytic activity of low-percentage Co,Pd systems on ZSM-5, ERI, SiO₂, and Al₂O₃ supports in the oxidation of CO was studied. The activity of bimetal-containing catalysts was shown to depend on the nature of the catalyst and the amount and ratio of their active components. According to the results of thermoprogrammed reduction with H₂ (H₂ TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data, the metals are distributed as isolated cations or Co^δ+-O-Pd^δ+ clusters with cobalt and palladium cations surrounded by off-lattice oxygen in Co,Pd systems. The 0.8% Co,0.5% Pd-ZSM-5 bimetal catalysts were found to be more active due to the presence of clusters.     

富氧条件下Co/ZSM-5催化剂对C_3H_8选择还原NO_x的性能

采用多种物理化学手段研究了在模拟的轻型柴油车尾气中不同Co担载量及Cu掺杂的Co/ZSM-5催化剂的Co组分分散状态、可还原性、NO吸附脱附性质对C3H8选择性催化还原NOx性能的影响。结果表明,浸渍法制备的Co/ZSM-5催化剂上既有外表面上的Co3+和Co2+物种,也有孔内的Co2+离子。富氧条件下Co/ZSM-5催化剂上C3H8选择性催化还原NOx的活性主要与ZSM-5载体孔外表面分散的CoOx物种中的钴离子可还原能力和NO吸附脱附性能密切相关。Co/ZSM-5催化剂上适宜的Co担载量约为4.0wt%,低担载量时随Co担载量增加,表面CoOx物种中钴离子可还原能力增强,C3H8选择性催化还原NOx的低温转化活性增加;高担载量时,随Co担载量增加,单位Co离子的NO吸附量的减少以及催化剂表面活性中心数的减少,导致了Co/ZSM-5催化剂NOx的转化率和催化剂比速率(k)的下降。孔外表面Co3O4晶体的存在使催化剂表面产生较强的NO吸附,并在高温时有利于C3H8的氧化燃烧,使C3H8选择性催化还原NOx的活性降低。

The Stability of Monolith CuZSM-5 Catalysts for the Selective Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides with Hydrocarbons: II. Synthesis and Characterization of Bulk Cu(80% ZSM-5 + 20% Al2O3) Catalysts

The effects of ion-exchange conditions and the zeolite Si/Al atomic ratio on the copper contents of Cu(80% ZSM-5 + 20%Al₂O₃) catalysts and on the catalytic activity in the selective reduction of NO with propane were studied. It was found that the synthesis of these catalysts exhibited the same behavior as in the case of bulk CuZSM-5 catalysts containing no Al₂O₃. The copper contents of the catalysts depend on the pH and concentration of copper solutions used for ion exchange, and the maximum activity (NO conversion) is attained even at an exchange level (Cu/Al) close to 100% regardless of pH and the zeolite Si/Al atomic ratio. At 300–400°C, the activity of the test catalysts is 10–20% lower than the activity of CuZSM-5 catalysts containing no Al₂O₃at equal exchange levels. This difference in the activity almost disappeared as the reaction temperature was increased. It was also found that in the Cu(80% ZSM-5 + 20%Al₂O₃) catalysts, an exchange level close to that in CuZSM-5 catalysts is attained by ion exchange from more concentrated solutions. An increase in the exchange level to 100% (by an increase in the pH of a copper solution from 6 to 10, as in the case of CuZSM-5 catalysts), had no effect on the activity.     

富氧条件下 Mn/ZSM-5 选择催化 CH4 还原 NO

 考察了富氧条件下 Mn/ZSM-5 催化剂上 CH₄ 选择催化还原 NO 反应, 并采用 H2程序升温还原、SO2程序升温表面反应和 NO程序升温脱附等手段对催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明, 催化剂活性与制备方法和 Mn 负载量密切相关. 离子交换法制备的 Mn/ZSM-5 催化剂活性明显优于浸渍法制备的催化剂; NO 转化率随着 Mn 负载量的增加而增加, 至 2.06% 时达到最大值 (57.3%), 然后随着 Mn 负载量的增加而降低. 采用离子交换法或较低 Mn 负载量 (≤ 2.06%) 抑制了催化剂中非化学计量的 MnO_x (1.5 < x < 2) 物种的形成, 减缓了 CH₄ 的氧化燃烧反应, 因而 CH₄ 还原 NO 的选择性提高. 在含 SO₂ 体系中, Mn/ZSM-5 活性在 550 ^oC 以下时明显下降, 但在 600 ^oC 以上基本不受影响. 这是由于在 550 ^oC 以下时 SO₂ 在 Mn/ZSM-5 表面形成了稳定的吸附硫物种, 覆盖了部分活性位, 导致催化剂活性降低; 而在 600 ^oC 以上时含硫物种基本脱附完全, 因而对催化剂活性影响不大.     

Ethylenediamine effect on the sorption of cesium on zeolites ZSM-5 and Y

The sorption of cesium was studied on zeolites ZSM-5 and Y. It was found that the sorption is much higher on zeolite Y than in ZSM-5 and it depends on the crystalline network of the zeolite. It was found as well that the main uptake mechanism involved in both zeolites for cesium was ion exchange.     

一价铜改性ZSM-5催化剂及其催化碳烟氧化反应性能研究

采用固态离子交换法制备了系列一价铜改性的ZSM-5催化剂,结合多种表征手段,研究了一价铜改性对碳烟氧化反应催化活性的影响。结果表明,采用固态离子交换法可以制备出高负载量的一价铜改性Cu/ZSM-5分子筛催化剂,而不会破坏ZSM-5分子筛原有微孔结构;随催化剂中一价铜比例的增加,低温还原峰和高温还原峰均向低温段移动,且低温还原峰面积增加。改性催化剂对碳烟氧化反应的催化活性随改性元素比例变化先增加后降低;当铜改性比例超过11%后,铜物种的分散性及催化剂对碳烟氧化反应的催化活性均恶化。同时研究还发现,反应气氛中通入NO可以改善催化剂对碳烟氧化反应的催化效果。     

Localization of the copper-containing component in the pore volume of zeolite ZSM-5

The distribution of the copper-containing component in the pore volume of zeolite ZSM-5 has been investigated by H₂ and N₂ adsorption at 77 K and IR spectroscopy. Samples were synthesized by ion exchange and incipient wetness impregnation. Copper-containing clusters are mostly located on the surface of the mesopores formed by packed zeolite nanocrystallites. This causes partial blocking of the volume of microporous channels for N₂ molecules, but these channels remain accessible for H₂ molecules. It has been deduced that no considerable amount of copper located in the structural channels of the zeolite. According to IR spectroscopic data, the sorption of copper ions in the Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts takes place on extraframe-work aluminum, which forms Al-OH-Al bridges and terminal Al-OH groups, and on terminal Si-OH groups located on the zeolite crystal surface.     

Skeletal isomerization of 1-pentene

Series of ZSM-5 and Y zeolite catalysts have been prepared. Zeolites were submitted to ion exchange, drying, formation with 50 wt.% of aluminium hydroxide as a binder and then to final thermal treatment. Determination of catalysts activity in 1-pentene isomerization reaction was carried out in the temperature range of 175–325°C. The highest activity in isomerization reaction was attained in the presence of ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts with strong and medium strength acidity.     

Attempts to Exchange Iron into H-Y and H-ZSM-5 Zeolites by in situ Formed Chloride-Containing Mobile Species

Three variants of solid-state ion exchange were studied. Iron exchange was found to proceed in the first case, in theFeCl₂+NH₄ZSM-5 FeZSM-5 + NH₄Cl process, even at low exchange capacity (Si/Al = 25).The second, Fe₂O₃ (hematite) + HZ direct reaction does not result in any noticeable interaction for eitherZ = Y or ZSM-5. This process can significantly be promoted by introducing CCl₄ vapor via forming chlorine-containingmobile species. However, the structure of the Y zeolite largely collapses during this treatment, whereas the crystalline state of ZSM-5is preserved.     

Mechanistic study of the SCR of NO with propylene over Co/ZSM-5 using in-situ FT-IR

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with propylene over Co-exchanged ZSM-5 (Co/ZSM-5) was studied using in-situ FTIR. Propylene was activated easily by NO in the absence of oxygen above 200°C, leading to the formation of three different types of surface NCO species; Cobonded (2235 and 2195 cm⁻¹), Si-bonded (2300 cm⁻¹) and Al-bonded (2272 cm⁻¹). These surface NCO species were stable in NO or oxygen atmosphere up to 400°C but in NO+oxygen they were easily converted to the final products of N₂ and CO₂. It is supposed that the SCR of NO over Co/ZSM-5 occurs through the Co- and Al-bonded NCO intermediates and its conversion is the rate-limiting step.

Characterization and Activity of Cr, Cu and Ga Modified ZSM—5 for Direct Conversion of Methane to Liquid Hydrocarbons

Direct conversion of methane using a metal-loaded ZSM-5 zeolite prepared via acidic ion exchange was investigated to elucidate the roles of metal and acidity in the formation of liquid hydrocarbons. ZSM-5 (SiO2/A12O3=30) was loaded with different metals (Cr, Cu and Ga) according to the acidic ion-exchange method to produce metal-loaded ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts. XRD, NMR, FT-IR and N2 adsorption analyses indicated that Cr and Ga species managed to occupy the alllmlnum positions in the ZSM-5 framework. In addition, Cr species were deposited in the pores of the structure. However, Cu oxides were deposited on the surface and in the mesopores of the ZSM-5 zeolite. An acidity study using TPD-NH3, FT-IR, and IR-pyridine analyses revealed that the total number of acid sites and the strengths of the BrSusted and Lewis acid sites were significantly different after the acidic ion exchange treatment.Cu loaded HZSM-5 is a potential catalyst for direct conversion of methane to liquid hydrocarbons. The successful production of gasoline via the direct conversion of methane depends on the amount of aluminum in the zeolite framework and the strength of the BrSnsted acid sites.     

Incorporation of CoS nanoparticles into ZSM-5 zeolite by hydrothermal and ion exchange methods

Cobalt sulfide nanoparticles were introduced into the medium-pore zeolite ZSM-5 (Zeolite Scony Mobil Five) by ion exchange in aqueous suspension and also by the addition of cobalt sulfate to the synthesis gel in hydrothermal zeolite synthesis. The latter method was systematically studied in the presence of tetraethylammonium ions as organic agents. The materials were characterized by chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersion x-ray (EDX), IR, BET and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). SEM picture and BET were used to discriminate between CoS nanoparticles in the zeolite pores and on the outer crystal surface. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by XRD and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that in hydrothermal method zeolite acts as a template. CoS nanoparticles with an approximate size of 22 nm grow on the surface of zeolite. In ion exchange method, however, the majority of CoS nanoparticles are about 6 nm in diameter, located on the surface of the MFI (type materials ZSM-5) structure. Exciton absorption peaks at higher energy than the fundamental absorption edge of bulk CoS indicate quantum confinement effect in nanoparticles as a consequence of their small size. The absorption spectra show that the optical band gap for CoS nanoparticles produced by hydrothermal and ion exchange methods is 3.68 and 4.1 eV, respectively.     

The design of photocatalysts for the removal of NOx at normal temperatures—Copper (I) and silver (I) ion catalysts anchored within zeolite cavities

The Cu⁺/ZSM-5 and Ag⁺/ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by a combination of ion-exchange and thermovacuum treatments. In situ photoluminescence, ESR, XAFS, UV-VIS and FT-IR measurements of the catalysts revealed that within the cavity of the ZSM-5 zeolite, the Cu⁺ ion or Ag⁺ ion exists in an isolated state. UV irradiation of the catalysts in the presence of NO at normal temperature led to the formation of N₂ and O₂ for Cu⁺/ZSM-5 and N₂, N₂O and NO₂ for Ag⁺/ZSM-5, indicating that the isolated Cu⁺ ion or Ag⁺ ion acts as a photocatalyst for the direct decomposition of NO. However, the Cu⁺/ZSM-5 catalyst loses its photocatalytic reactivity under the coexistence of O₂, while the Ag⁺/ZSM-5 catalyst maintains its reactivity under the coexistence of O₂ and H₂O.

Characterization of Zn centers in ZSM-5 zeolites with X-ray absorption spectroscopy

In the analysis of Zn K XANES of a ZnO + Na-ZSM-5 zeolite, the appearance of a solid state ion exchange reaction was shown. The ZSM-5 zeolites modifed by zinc exhibit enhanced catalytic activity.     

Influence of acetate, chloride and nitrate ions on the sorption of cobalt by zeolite ZSM-5

Many factors affect the ion exchange process in zeolites. In this work the influence of different anions such as acetate, chloride and nitrate on the ion exchange of cobalt in zeolite ZSM-5 is discussed. After the ion exchange in the presence of those anions no change was found in the zeolite structure, by X ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The retention of cobalt by zeolite ZSM-5 at low concentrations (from 0.001 to 0.3N) was higher when the exchange was done with cobalt nitrate and chloride. This behavior was different in the case of 1N cobalt salts, since the highest sorption uptake was found when working with cobalt acetate and its sorption was directly proportional to its concentration.     

Effect of the Support in de-NOx HC-SCR Over Transition Metal Catalysts

Several catalysts based on transition metals (Cu, Co, Fe) and different supports (ZSM-5, activated carbon, Al₂O₃) have been tested by Temperature-Programmed Reaction (TPR) experiments for the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with propene in the presence of excess oxygen, simulating lean-burn conditions. The activity order with respect to the metal was CuFe>Co for all supports used. ZSM-5 catalysts have a superior behavior over Al₂O₃, as observed for noble metal catalysts. Application of activated carbon as a support is not practical due to its consumption at the reaction temperatures. The selectivity to N₂ of the catalysts was also independent of the support, being higher than 95% in all the cases.     

Investigation of Metal State in Metal-containing Zeolite Catalysts by DTA and ESR Methods

Thermal stability and its influence on the catalytic activity in CO oxidation of Cu, Pd and Pd-Cu zeolite systems were investigated. The increasing of catalytic activity in the first cycle of reaction is connected with the thermal decomposition of complexions and consequently with the changing of metal state in catalyst in the case of Cu/ZSM-5catalyst. This activity does not relate to initial zeolite with complex ions, but to the metal ions with the decreasing ligands number in the coordination sphere of metal ion. According to the EPR spectrum the copper ions form clusters in zeolite channels due to the spin changed interaction. It was established ESR method that 1.8% Cu/ZSM-5 catalyst in a reduced form has copper (I and II) ions by. The Pd/ZSM-5 catalysts with different metal content have high catalytic activity below the temperature decomposition in contrary to Cu-containing zeolites. On the one hand, it may be connected with the partial reduction of Pd ions during CO oxidation and, on the other hand, with the ability of Pd ions to form the respective label complexes with reagents as additional ligands. The same character of relation between thermal stability and catalytic activity for Pd-Cu/ZSM-5 catalyst was observed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
