Dimethyl carbonate synthesis via transesterification catalyzed by quaternary ammonium salt functionalized chitosan

A quaternary ammonium salt covalently linked to chitosan was first used as a catalyst for dimethyl carbonate （DMC） synthesis by the transesterification of propylene carbonate （PC） with methanol. The effects of various reaction variables like reaction time, temperature and pressure on the catalytic performance were also investigated. 54% DMC yield and 71% PC conversion were obtained under the optimal reaction conditions. Notably, the catalyst was able to be reused with retention of high catalytic activity and selectivity. Consequently, the process presented here has great potential for industrial application due to its advantages such as stability, easy preparation from renewable biopolymer, and simple separation from products.     

Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Methanol and Carbon Dioxide Catalyzed by Potassium Hydroxide under Mild Conditions

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate （DMC） from methanol and carbon dioxide using potassium hydroxide as catalyst in the presence of CH3I and the effect of ionic liquid on the reaction were investigated. The results showed that KOH is an effective catalyst; the high selectivity and raised yield of DMC formation under mild conditions were achieved. However, the addition of the ionic liquid, l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide （emimBr）, can evidently accelerate the conversion of methanol and yield of the product.     

钛酸酯催化碳酸二甲酯与苯酚酯交换反应

The transesterification of phenol and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to diphenyl carbonate (DPC) was studied using tetrabutyl titanate and tetraphenyl titanate as catalysts. The main product was found to be methyl phenyl carbonate (MPC) which is an intermediate of the reaction. The selectivity for DPC was improved when increasing the phenol/DMC molar ratio or prolonging the reaction time. The phenol conversion, selectivity for MPC and DPC were 47 4%, 90 9% and 9 14%, respectively, when the transesterification reaction approached equilibrium under the conditions of 175 ℃, 25 h and DMC∶phenol∶ Ti(OBu) 4 molar ratio of 1 5∶1∶0 05. The selectivity for DPC could reach 12.2% when the reaction time was 30 h. The tetrabutyl titanate catalyst showed a higher catalytic activity than tetraphenyl titanate.     

TiO2担载镍催化剂上硝基苯液相加氢（英文）

The catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline employing nickel impregnated on rutile,anatase,and high surface area titania supports has been investigated.The nickel is present in elemental state as fcc phase on the catalyst as evidenced by X-ray diffraction results.The Ni crystallite size was found to be greater for Ni/anatase.The temperature-programmed reduction results suggest a greater metal-support interaction for Ni/rutile.The observed order of catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is Ni/rutile > Ni/anatase > Ni/TiO2.A conversion of 99% was observed for Ni/rutile at 140 oC and hydrogen pressure of 1.96 MPa.Interestingly,aniline is the only product formed which demonstrates the catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene proceeds with atom economy.Both Ni/rutile and Ni/anatase exhibited a better stability than Ni/TiO2.The hydrogenation proceeds with the preferential adsorption of hydrogen on nickel present in the catalyst surface,possibly assisted by TiOx species.

The results showed that the high selectivity and raised yield of DMC was achieved due to the addition of emimBr in the reaction system. And effect of several reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure and amount of emimBr was discussed.     

有机阴离子柱撑水滑石催化酯交换合成碳酸二苯酯

 A series of organic anion-pillared hydrotalcites were synthesized by the ion exchange method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The hydrotalcite precursor and pillared hydrotalcites with different anions was tested as catalysts in transesterification of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with phenol. The results show that the catalytic selectivity of this transesterification reaction over these organic anion-pillared hydrotalcites is significantly improved. The catalytic selectivities of C4H4O4-, C6H8O4-, C10H16O4-, 1,4-C8H4O4-, and C7H5O2-pillared hydrotalcites for transesterified products (diphenyl carbonate and methyl phenyl carbonate) are all greater than 90%, at least 10% higher than that of the hydrotalcite precursor. Under the conditions of n(phenol)/n(DMC)=4, catalyst amount=1.5%, and t=10 h, the C6H8O4-pillared hydrotalcite presents the best catalytic performance, and the DMC conversion and the selectivity for transesterified products reach 43.8% and 93.2%, respectively.     

Effects of pretreatment and reduction on the Co/Al2O3 catalyst for CO hydrogenation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preadsorbed CO at different temperatures, calcination temperatures, the combined influence of reduction temperature and time, and pretreatment using hydrogen or syngas as reduction agents on the F-T synthesis （FTS） activity and selectivity of Co/Al2O3 catalyst. The reactivity of the carbon species at higher preadsorption temperature with H2 in TPSR decreased, whereas the carbon-containing species showed higher reactivity over Co/Al2O3 catalyst with low calcination temperature. This agreed well with the order of catalytic activity for F-T synthesis on this catalyst. The catalytic activity of the catalyst varied with reduction temperature and time remarkably. CODEX optimization gave an optimum reduction temperature of 756 K and reduction time of 6.2 h and estimated C5＋ yield perfectly. The pretreatment of Co/Al2O3 catalyst with different reduction agents （hydrogen or syngas） showed important influences on the catalytic performance. A high CO conversion and C5＋ yield were obtained on the catalyst reduced by hydrogen, whereas methane selectivity on the catalyst reduced by syngas was much higher than that on the catalyst reduced by hydrogen.

The one-pot synthesis of dimethyl carbonate（DMC） with co-production of propy-lene carbonate（PC） and propylene glycol（PG） from propylene oxide（ PO）, carbon dioxide and methanol as the starting materials was investigated. The catalyst adopted here was a mixture of tetrabutyl ammonium bromide and sodium methoxide. It was found that un- der the reaction conditions of t = 150 ℃, p =3-4 MPa and 2 h, the PO conversion could reach 100%, the DMC, PC and the PG selectivities were 49. 7%, 42. 7% and 49. 8%, respectively, and the selectivity of by-products was below 10%.     

An in situ infrared study of dimethyl carbonate synthesis from carbon dioxide and methanol over well-shaped CeO2

The mechanism of dimethyl carbonate(DMC) formation from CO_2 and methanol is investigated using three well-shaped CeO_2 catalysts, nanorod, nanocube and octahedron, which are packed with different crystal planes. In situ Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR) is employed to probe each reaction step in the DMC synthesis. The number of –OH groups and the species of CO_2 adsorptions on ceria surface have significant influence on the activity of ceria with different morphologies. Rod-ceria has favorable catalytic activity because of the large amount of –OH groups and the formation of bidentate carbonate species.
