Effect of ultrasonic irradiation and /or halogenation on the catalytic performance of γ-Al2O3 for methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether

Dimethyl ether(DME) is amongst one of the most promising alternative,renewable and clean fuels being considered as a future energy carrier.In this study,the comparative catalytic performance of the halogenated γ-Al 2 O 3 prepared from two halogen precursors(ammonium chloride and ammonium fluoride) is presented.The impact of ultrasonic irradiation was evaluated in order to optimize both the halogen precursor for the production of DME from methanol in a fixed bed reactor.The catalysts were characterized by SEM,XRD,BET and NH 3-TPD.Under reaction conditions where the temperature ranged from 200 to 400 ℃ with a WHSV = 15.9 h-1was found that the halogenated catalysts showed higher activity at all reaction temperatures.However,the halogenated alumina catalysts prepared under the effect of ultrasonic irradiation showed higher performance of γ-Al 2 O 3 for DME formation.The chlorinated γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts showed a higher activity and selectivity for DME production than fluorinated versions.     

Production of dimethylether(DME) as a clean fuel using sonochemically prepared CuO and /or ZnO- modified γ- alumina catalysts

The catalytic conversion of methanol to dimethylether(DME)was studied over CuO/Al2O3,ZnO/Al2O3and ZnOCuO/Al2O3nanocatalysts prepared in presence or absence of ultrasonic irradiation.The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),surface characterization method(BET),scanning electron microscope(SEM),H2-temperature programmed reduction(H2-TPR)and temperature programmed desorption of ammonia(NH3-TPD).The experimental results show that during catalytic dehydration of methanol to dimethylether,the activities of the CuO/Al2O3,ZnO/Al2O3and ZnO-CuO/Al2O3catalysts prepared using ultrasonic treatment are much higher than those prepared in absence of ultrasonication.SEM shows that the use of ultrasonication results in much smaller nanoparticles.BET and XRD show that the ultrasonication increases the surface area and pore volume of the catalysts.H2-TPR profiles indicated that reducibility of the sonicated nanocatalysts is carried out at lower temperatures.NH3-TPD shows that ultrasound irradiation has enhanced the acidity of the nanocatalyst and hence enhanced catalytic performance for DME formation.     

改性H-MOR沸石催化甲醇转化(英文)

The conversion of methanol was carried out over various mordenite zeolite catalysts to evaluate their catalytic performance. A post-preparation treatment of the H-MOR catalyst by halogenation with NH4Cl or NH4F and by hydrohalogenation with HCl or HF was carried out and its effect on methanol conversion reactions at 100–300 °C in a continuous flow reactor was investigated.

Methanol conversion to DME as a blue fuel:The beneficial use of ultrasonic irradiation for the preparation of CuO/H-MOR nanocatalyst

Methanol conversion to DME was investigated over CuO /H-MOR nanocatalyst prepared by precipitation and /or by precipitation flowed by ultrasonic irradiation methods. BET,XRD,SEM,NH3-TPD and H2-TPR techniques were used to characterize nanocatalysts. The effective ultrasonication factors encountered during carrying out the dehydration of methanol on Cuo /H-MOR zeolite catalysts to produce dimethylether are studied in the present work. These factors include: the type of ultrasonication media,the ultrasonication time,and the fixed weight of the solid catalyst per the volume of the ultrasonication liquid media( Wcatalyst/ Vliquidratio). XRD showed that structure of H-MOR is not damaged even after it is loaded with CuO nanoparticles or with ultrasonication. H2-TPR profiles indicated that reducibility of sonicated CuO / H-MOR nanocatalyst is higher than non-sonicated catalyst. It is found that employing ultrasound energy for 60 min has the highest influence on the surface properties of nanocatalyst and its catalytic performance( activity and stability) of CuO / H-MOR catalyst. Surface morphology( SEM) of the sonicated CuO /H-MOR catalysts have clarified that methanol by itself used as an ultrasonication medium gives the best results concerning the homogeneity of particle sizes compared to the non-sonicated catalyst,where large agglomerates and non-homogeneous clusters appeared. Water used as a sonication medium showed many large agglomerates in addition to some smaller particles resulted in lowcatalytic activity. The different alcohols and( Wcatalyst/ Vliquid) ratio were examined to give precise correlation with the catalytic activity of the sonicated CuO / H-MOR zeolite catalyst. These findings certified that ultrasonication has a deep effect on the surface morphology and hence on the catalytic behavior of the dehydration of methanol to DME. NH3-TPD shows that ultrasound irradiation has enhanced the acidity of CuO / H-MOR catalyst and hence it’s catalytic performance for DME formation.     

NOx formation in the plasma treatment of halomethanes

A nonthermal, atmospheric pressure plasma, made-up of a BaTiO3 packed-bed reactor, has been used to study the formation of NOx and N2O during the plasma destruction of a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants, including chlorinated, brominated, fluorinated, and iodinated methane species, in a carrier gas of air. Using the plasma destruction of pure air as a baseline, it is found that the amount of NOx formed is unaffected by the addition of a few hundred parts per million of a simple hydrocarbon (e.g. methane). In the case of the fluorinated, chlorinated, and brominated methanes, we find enhanced production of NOx and a marked increase in the ratio of NO2 to NO formed, from approximately 1.1 in air and methane to approximately 2.3 in halogenated species. However, iodinated additives (specifically methyl iodide and diiodomethane) have remarkably different results compared to the other halogenated additives; they show enhanced increases in the NO2 to NO ratio ( approximately 6-13) and reduced NOx production. The enhanced conversion of NO to NO2 is attributed to reactions involving halogen oxides, e.g. ClO and IO.     

焙烧温度对二甲醚水蒸气重整制氢 Cu/ZnO/Al2O3/Cr2O3+H-ZSM-5双功能催化剂性能的影响

采用共沉淀耦合机械混合法制备了Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃/Cr₂O₃+H-ZSM-5双功能催化剂,并用于二甲醚水蒸气重整制氢反应,结合热重、傅里叶红外光谱、XRD、BET、H₂-TPR表征,考察了焙烧温度对Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃/Cr₂O₃催化剂物理化学性质及双功能催化剂催化性能的影响。研究结果表明,400℃焙烧时,析出CuO粒子的同时伴有尖晶石相,进而在反应过程中对金属铜粒子起到良好的隔离作用。而焙烧温度较低时,催化剂分解不完全,催化剂活性位较少。焙烧温度大于500℃时,CuO粒子发生二次团聚,同时尖晶石相大量生成,造成催化剂活性位减少,活性较低。合适的焙烧温度为400℃,此时二甲醚转化率为92.9%,氢气收率可达到76.5%,具有较好的反应效果。     

Titanosilicate zeolite precursors for highly efficient oxidation reactions

Titanosilicate zeolites are catalysts of interest in the field of fine chemicals. However, the generation and accessibility of active sites in titanosilicate materials for catalyzing reactions with large molecules is still a challenge. Herein, we prepared titanosilicate zeolite precursors with open zeolitic structures, tunable pore sizes, and controllable Si/Ti ratios through a hydrothermal crystallization strategy by using quaternary ammonium templates. A series of quaternary ammonium ions are discovered as effective organic templates. The prepared amorphous titanosilicate zeolites with some zeolite framework structural order have extra-large micropores and abundant octahedrally coordinated isolated Ti species, which lead to a superior catalytic performance in the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and epoxidation of cyclohexene. It is anticipated that the amorphous prezeolitic titanosilicates will benefit the catalytic conversion of bulky molecules in a wide range of reaction processes.

Titanosilicate zeolite precursors, with open structures of zeolite units and high amounts of catalytically active Ti species, show superior catalytic performance in the oxidative reactions.     

Progress in the syndiotactic polymerization of styrene with metallocene/mao catalysts

Metallocene/MAO catalysts are useful for the production of syndiotactic polystyrene - a new class of high performance polymers. The melting point of the obtained syndiotactic polystyrene depends on the metallocene used and can reach up to 275 °C. In the past, the most active catalysts in polymerization have been half-sandwich titanocenes such as CpTiCl₃ and Cp*TiCl₃. If the chlorinated compounds are changed into the fluorinated compounds as CpTiF₃ and Cp*TiF₃, the activity increases by a factor of 5 to 100. The fluorinated titanocenes are more stable at higher temperatures and need a lower MAO excess in order to obtain optimal activities. Polymers obtained with the unsubstituted CpTiF₃ show melting points which are 17 °C lower than those synthesized by pentamethylcyclopentadienyltitaniumtrifluoride. Especially Cp*TiF₃ shows a much higher activity and, compared with the chlorinated compound, gives polymers with a higher molecular weight. Substituted cyclopentadienyltitanocenes have even higher activities. Ethene/styrene copolymers can be obtained by catalysis with zirconocene compounds.     

不同前驱体制备的Mn-H4SiW12O40/SiO2 催化剂对二甲醚催化氧化制取甲缩醛反应性能的影响

采用浸渍法分别用硫酸锰、醋酸锰、氯化锰和硝酸锰为原料制备了Mn-H4SiW12O40/SiO2 杂多酸催化剂。在常压连续流动固定床反应器中，考察了二甲醚选择氧化制取甲缩醛的反应活性。实验结果表明，催化剂的催化活性顺序为Mn-Cl2H4SiW12O40/SiO2>Mn(NO3)2H4SiW12O40/SiO2>MnSO4H4SiW12O40/SiO2>Mn(AC)2H4SiW12O40/SiO2。并进一步考察了反应温度对不同锰盐前驱体催化剂性能的影响。结果表明，随温度的升高，硫酸锰修饰的H4SiW12O40/SiO2 催化剂催化氧化比较剧烈，在613K时二甲醚转化率高达42.4%，但此时甲缩醛选择性仅为0.9%。采用氯化锰修饰的H4SiW12O40/SiO2催化剂，二甲醚催化氧化反应较缓和，并且甲缩醛的选择性明显高于分别采用硫酸锰、醋酸锰和硝酸锰改性的催化剂，在593K反应1h时，二甲醚转化率为8.6%，甲缩醛选择性达到37.5%。H2-TPR结果显示，硫酸锰改性的催化剂高温氧化性能明显强于另外三种催化剂，氯化锰的修饰使得催化剂的低温氧化性能变强。XRD结果表明，MnCl2 H4SiW12O40/SiO2催化剂的衍射特征峰明显强于其他三种催化剂，并且发现了MnO2衍射特征峰。     

不同前驱体制备的SO_4~(2-)/AC催化剂在二甲醚直接氧化合成聚甲氧基二甲醚中的反应性能

分别用硫酸、硫酸铵作为前驱体,活性炭(AC)作为载体,采用浸渍法制备了SO_4~(2-)/AC双功能催化剂(SO_4~(2-)离子和AC载体分别提供催化剂的酸性和氧化还原性),考察了其在二甲醚(DME)直接氧化合成聚甲氧基二甲醚(DMMx)反应中的催化性能。结果表明,不同前驱体制备的SO_4~(2-)/AC催化剂表现出显著的催化活性差异。40%H_2SO_4/AC催化剂具有较好的反应活性,DME转化率为8.4%,DMM1-2的选择性达到59.7%,并且没有COx的生成;而在40%(NH_4)_2SO_4/AC催化剂上,反应主要生成了COx,DMM选择性仅2.7%,且无DMM2生成。XRD、BET、NH_3-TPD及O_2-TPD-MS等表征结果显示,H_2SO_4/AC催化剂中适量的弱酸性位和氧化还原性位有利于DME直接氧化合成DMMx。经过SO_4~(2-)修饰的催化剂促进了O2在活性炭表面的活化;前驱体H_2SO_4的加入提高了催化剂表面的弱酸性位数量,而(NH_4)_2SO_4的引入却促使催化剂表面产生中强酸性位。     

Liquid-phase alkylation of phenol with long-chain olefins over WOx/ZrO2 solid acid catalysts

The liquid-phase alkylation of phenol with 1-dodecene was carried out over WO_x/ZrO₂ solid acid catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method using zirconium oxyhydroxide and ammonium metatungstate. Catalysts with different WO₃ loading (5–30 wt.%) were prepared and calcined at 800 °C and catalyst with 15% WO₃ was calcined from 700–850 °C. All the catalysts were characterized by surface area, XRD, and FTIR. The catalyst with 15% WO₃ calcined at 800 °C (15 WZ-800) was found to be the most active in the reaction. The effect of temperature, molar ratio and catalyst weight on dodecene conversion and products selectivity was studied in detail. Under the optimized reaction conditions of 120 °C, phenol/1-dodecene molar ratio 2 and time 2 h, the catalyst 15 WZ-800 gave >99% dodecene conversion with 90% dodecylphenol selectivity. Comparison of the catalytic activity of 15 WZ-800 with sulfated zirconia calcined at 500 °C (SZ-500) and Hβ zeolite showed that activity of SZ-500 was lower than that of 15 WZ-800, while Hβ zeolite showed negligible activity. It is observed that the presence of water in the reaction mixture was detrimental to the catalytic activity of WO_x/ZrO₂. The catalyst 15 WZ-800 also found to be an efficient catalyst for alkylation of phenol with long-chain olefins like 1-octene and 1-decene.     

Radiotracers in fluorine chemistry. Part IX fluorination of chlorofluoroethanes by chromia catalysts treated with hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen [18F]-fluoride

Passage of dichlorotetrafluoroethane isomers or 1,1,2-trichloro- 1,2,2-trifluoroethane at temperatures ? 623 K over chromia catalysts, previously treated with hydrogen fluoride at 623 K, leads to the formation of fluorinated and chlorinated products. Incorporation of fluorine-18 radioactivity in the products is observed when hydrogen [¹⁸F]-fluoride is used in the catalyst pretreatment, indicating the involvement of a surface fluorine- containing species. The reactions observed are described in terms of series of F-for-Cl and Cl-for-F halogen exchange reactions occurring at the catalyst surface.     

焙烧温度对CuMgAl催化剂催化糠醛气相加氢制糠醇性能的影响

采用分步沉淀过程制得质量比m(CuO)∶m(MgO)∶m(Al_2O_3)为25∶26∶49的CuMgAl类水滑石前驱体,经过不同温度焙烧制得CuMgAl-t催化剂。通过BET、热重、XRD、H_2-TPR和CO_2-TPD对催化剂进行表征,在固定床中考察CuMgAl-t催化剂催化糠醛气相加氢制糠醇的性能。结果表明,焙烧温度影响催化剂活性、稳定性及对产物的选择性,低温焙烧的催化剂经还原后可获得较多活性中心,高温焙烧的催化剂表面具有更多的碱性位,CuMgAl催化剂经450℃焙烧表面存在适宜的活性中心和碱性位。在常压、反应温度180℃、氢醛物质的量比5∶1、糠醛体积空速0.3h~(-1)的条件下,CuMgAl-450催化剂上糠醛的转化率和糠醇的选择性分别达到98.64%和97.66%。     

Polyesterification of halogen containing difunctional compounds

The increasing interest in halogen containing polymers has led us to re-evaluate the different methods for the polycondensation of fluorinated and chlorinated monomers to form polyesters. The use of acid chlorides easily gives polymers with relatively high molecular weights (above 3000). We also describe in this work a new method of polytransesterification from the bishydroxyethyl esters of fluorinated and chlorinated diacids at temperatures below 200°C.     

分子筛改性对一步法合成二甲醚的影响

采用浸渍法制备了MgO、CaO、ZnO改性的HZSM 5分子筛,并以改性HZSM 5为脱水剂与JC207甲醇合成催化剂组成双功能催化剂,在固定床反应器上考察了其对一步法合成二甲醚影响。结果表明,适量碱性氧化物的引入,引起分子筛表面的B酸中心（强酸中心）向L酸中心（弱酸中心）转变,而弱酸和中强酸中心是甲醇脱水生成二甲醚的活性中心,强酸中心会造成二甲醚进一步脱水生成烃类副产品,所以改性后产物中二氧化碳和烃类的选择性下降,二甲醚选择性升高。这种趋势在CaO/HZSM 5脱水剂上表现的更为明显。     

不同方法制备的Cu/HZSM-5催化剂上NO的催化分解反应

采用离子交换法、固相分散法和微波固相法等不同方法制备了Cu/HZSM-5催化剂,以BET、XRD和XPS等手段对催化剂样品进行了表征。结果表明,不同方法制备的Cu/HZSM-5催化剂上Cu物种的落位分布状态不同,离子交换法制备的催化剂Cu物种更多地落位于分子筛孔道内,微波固相法和固相分散法制备的催化剂Cu物种较多地落位分布在分子筛外表面。固相分散法制备的样品未能使铜物种完全分散于分子筛表面,在13.1°、16.8°、35.5°和38.0°等处仍存在CuO的晶相衍射峰。催化分解NO反应的活性考察结果表明,用微波固相法制备的催化剂催化分解NO的活性及稳定性明显超过另两种方法所制备的催化剂,在无氧条件下NO最初转化率高达89.2%,经反应25h后,转化率仍维持在70%以上;在富氧气氛下催化分解NO活性降低速率低于由离子交换法制备的催化剂。结合表征结果可以得出,落位于分子筛外表面以离子交换态形式存在的Cu物种对催化分解NO反应更为有利,而且催化稳定性更好。

分子筛硅铝比及晶粒粒径对 Cu-ZnO-Al2O3/HZSM-5催化剂直接合成二甲醚反应性能的影响

采用水热晶化法合成了硅铝比(SiO₂/Al₂O₃)为60、120、200和晶粒粒径分别为1.00和0.25 μm的HZSM-5分子筛,并以其为甲醇脱水活性组分与铜基甲醇合成活性组分(Cu-ZnO-Al₂O₃)组成双功能催化剂(Cu-ZnO-Al₂O₃/HZSM-5),在连续流动加压固定床反应器上考察了Cu-ZnO-Al₂O₃/HZSM-5对合成气直接制二甲醚反应的催化性能。结果表明,随着分子筛硅铝比的提高,二氧化碳副产物的生成量逐渐减少,从而使目的产物二甲醚的选择性逐渐增大。与常规分子筛相比,小晶粒分子筛的反应活性接近,但二氧化碳和烃类副产物的选择性较低。     

Synthesis and structure of lateral halogenated V-shaped liquid crystal molecules based on a 1,7-naphthalene central core and alkylthio tails

A series of small angle bent-core (V-shaped) mesogens carrying 1,7-naphthalene as a central core linked with lateral halogenated (chlorinated or fluorinated) Schiff-base side wings and alkylthio terminal tails of variable carbon number (n = 12, 16) was synthesised in order to reduce the transition temperature and improve the phase stability of bent-core liquid crystal molecules. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarising optical microscopy (POM), small-angle X-ray scattering system (SAXS) and two-dimensional X-ray diffractometer were applied to ascertain the mesomorphic structure and phase transition temperatures of the compounds. The results confirm that all the molecules show thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviour and exhibit hexagonal columnar phase (Col_h) in a certain temperature range. Compared with the homologous compounds without lateral halogen, the cleaning point temperature of lateral halogenated V-shaped compounds generally decrease and the Col_h phase ranges are more extensive. The influence of lateral chlorine on the cleaning point temperature is more obvious, as well as the effect of lateral fluorine on the range of Col_h phase.
