MnCo改性的MCM-41催化剂用于氯苯催化燃烧的研究（英文）

含氯挥发性有机化合物(CVOCs)是对人体健康和环境危害极大的有机化合物.常见的有二氯乙烷、三氯乙烯、三氯甲烷、四氯化碳和氯苯等.有些CVOCs是"三致"(致畸、致癌、致突变)物质,有些少量进入大气就能破坏臭氧层,亦或与臭氧等形成光化学烟雾,引起全球变暖.因此,对于其消除迫在眉睫.CVOCs通常采用高温直接燃烧、吸附、光催化氧化和催化燃烧等方法降解.其中,催化燃烧是非常有效的.我们选择氯苯作为CVOCs探针分子是因其不仅存在于农药和化工产品中,在室内环境中也大量存在,而负载贵金属和非贵金属型催化剂可用于其催化降解.贵金属催化剂价格高而且易氯中毒,但过渡金属催化剂价格低且抗失活,因而是不错的选择.通常过渡金属催化剂使用V_2O_5,Cr_2O_3,MnO_2,Co_3O_4及NiO等活性组分,而Mn和Co氧化物有较好活性且没有环境污染,常用作活性组分.另外,MCM-41是有序介孔硅酸盐和硅铝酸盐家族中M41S的一员,具有高的比表面积和较窄的孔径分布,常用作催化剂的载体.我们利用具有大比表面积、大孔径的MCM-41作为载体,采用浸渍法负载MnO_x,CoO_x,MnO_x-CoO_x等活性组分,制备系列的催化剂用于低浓度氯苯的催化燃烧,研究催化剂的催化活性、选择性及稳定性.并利用XRD、N_2吸脱附、高分辨电镜-能谱分析、H_2-TPR和CB-TPD等手段对MCM-41及催化剂的织构-结构、表面形貌、活性组分分散状态、氧化还原性能及吸附性能等做了系统的研究.采用表面活性剂软模板技术合成了具有大比表面积、大孔径、耐热稳定性高的MCM-41介孔分子筛,负载不同比例的Mn/Co(摩尔比是3:1、6:1及9:1,其中总负载量为10%),以氯苯催化燃烧为探针反应,筛选出活性最佳时的Mn/Co比例.活性评价实验结果表明,各催化剂的活性以下列顺序依次降低:MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41MnCo(9:1)/MCM-41MnCo(3:1)/MCM-41Mn/MCM-41Co/MCM-41,其中MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41活性最佳,在270 oC即可完全催化燃烧氯苯.耐久性实验结果显示,MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41在连续反应1000 h后,其活性没有降低,表明其具有非常良好的稳定性.XRD实验结果表明,在Mn/MCM-41及Co/MCM-41催化剂上分别检测到MnO_2及Co_3O_4的特征衍射峰.在MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41催化剂上,MnO_2及Co_3O_4的特征衍射峰消失,同时出现了MnCoOx的特征衍射峰,这是由于MnO_2及Co_3O_4的强相互作用经过焙烧后形成的,且MnCoO_x的特征衍射峰较小,表明双金属活性组分的分散比单金属催化剂好.N_2吸脱附结果显示,MCM-41的比表面积达到805.9 m~2/g,孔体积达到0.795 cm~3/g.负载活性组分后其比表面积及孔体积均有不同程度的减小,这是由于活性组分进入了MCM-41的孔隙.高分辨电镜结果表明,MCM-41具有均匀的介孔孔道结构,MnCoO_x在MCM-41表面的颗粒小,分散好.能谱扫描出Mn,Co,O等元素,表明活性组分成功地负载在MCM-41载体上.H_2-TPR表明,双金属催化剂的还原峰温较单金属催化剂低,表明其具有更好的氧化性能.CB-TPD结果表明,MnCo双金属催化剂脱附氯苯的温度高于单金属催化剂,说明氯苯与催化剂之间的相互作用更强,即双金属催化剂对氯苯的吸附能力更强,使得氯苯催化燃烧更加充分,因此其催化性能更好.同时,深入探讨了MnO_x,CoO_x,MnCoO_x和MCM-41之间的相互作用及对催化燃烧性能的影响.

 在低碱度下合成了纳米级MCM-49分子筛,采用XRD,TEM,NH3-TPD,吸附吡啶的红外光谱和异丙苯裂解等技术对分子筛进行了表征. 催化剂评价结果表明,纳米级MCM-49分子筛在30~160 ℃下对苯与1-十二烯的烷基化反应具有良好的催化性能,烯烃的转化率高于99.6%,直链烷基苯的选择性大于97%,2-和3-位直链烷基苯的选择性大于67.5%. 常规的微米级MCM-49分子筛在低温下的催化活性低于纳米级MCM-49分子筛. ZSM-5,M型分子筛和MCM-41分子筛催化烷基化反应的活性较低,Y型分子筛虽具有较高的催化活性,但生成2-和3-位直链烷基苯的选择性明显低于MCM-49. MCM-49的骨架结构与MCM-22相似,晶体外表面上含有大量的12元环孔穴,该结构有利于烷基化反应的进行.

PtSn/Al2O3/MCM-41催化剂优良的丙烷脱氢催化性能可能不仅与Sn-载体Al2O3/MCM-41较强的相互作用有关, 而且与Al2O3/MCM-41载体的介孔结构有关.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene with CO2 over Al-MCM-41-supported vanadia catalysts

Catalytic performance of Al-MCM-41-supported vanadia catalysts (V/Al-MCM-41) with different V loading was investigated for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene (ST) with CO₂ (CO₂-ODEB). For comparison, pure silica MCM-41 was also used as support for vanadia catalyst. The catalysts were characterized by N₂ adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pyridine-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, H₂-temperature-programmed reduction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-Raman, and diffuse reflectance (DR) UV–vis spectroscopy. The results indicate that the catalytic behavior and the nature of V species depend strongly on the V loading and the support properties. Compared with the MCM-41-supported catalyst, the Al-MCM-41-supported vanadia catalyst exhibits much higher catalytic activity and stability along with a high ST selectivity (>98%). The superior catalytic performance of the present V/Al-MCM-41 catalyst can be attributed to the Al-MCM-41 support being more favorable for the high dispersion of V species and the stabilization of active V⁵⁺ species. Together with the characterization results of XRD, TGA, and DR UV–Vis spectroscopy, the deep reduction of V⁵⁺ into V³⁺ during CO₂-ODEB is the main reason for the deactivation of the supported vanadia catalyst, while the coke deposition has a less important impact on the catalyst stability.

Influence of the pore structure of MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica fibers on atomic layer chemical vapor deposition of cobalt carbonyl

Mesoporous high surface area MCM-41 and SBA-15 type silica materials with fibrous morphology were synthesized and used as support materials for the ALCVD (atomic layer chemical vapor deposition) preparation of Co/MCM-41 and Co/SBA-15 catalysts. Co/MCM-41 and Co/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared by deposition of Co2(CO)8 from the gas phase onto the surfaces of preheated support materials in a fluidized bed reactor. For both silica materials, two different kinds of preparation methods, direct deposition and a pulse deposition method, were used. Pure silica supports as well as supported cobalt catalysts were characterized by various spectroscopic (IR) and analytical (X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, elemental analysis) methods. MCM-41 and SBA-15 fibers showed considerable ability to adsorb Co2(CO)8 from the gas phase. For MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas, cobalt loadings of 13.7 and 12.1 wt % were obtained using the direct deposition method. The cobalt loadings increased to 23.0 and 20.7 wt % for MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas, respectively, when the pulse deposition method was used. The reduction behavior of silica-supported cobalt catalysts was found to depend on the catalyst preparation method and on the mesoporous structure of the support material. Almost identical reduction properties of SBA-15-supported catalysts prepared by different deposition methods are explained by the structural properties of the mesoporous support and, in particular, by the chemical structure of the inner surfaces and walls of the mesopores. Pulse O2/H2 chemisorption experiments showed catalytically promising redox properties and surface stability of the prepared MCM-41- and SBA-15-supported cobalt catalysts.     

Synthesis and catalytic performance of bimetallic NiMo- and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites for production of liquid biofuels

This work presents a synthesis of bimetallic NiMo and NiW modified ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites and their heterogeneous catalytic conversion of crude palm oil( CPO) to biofuels. The ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites were synthesized through a self-assembly of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide( CTAB) surfactant with silica-alumina from ZSM-5 zeolite,prepared from natural kaolin by the hydrothermal technique. Subsequently,the synthesized composites were deposited with bimetallic NiMo and NiW by impregnation method. The obtained catalysts presented a micro-mesoporous structure,confirmed by XRD,SEM,TEM,EDX,NH_3-TPD,XRF and N_2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The results of CPO conversion demonstrate that the catalytic activity of the synthesized catalysts decreases in the series of NiMo-ZSM-5/MCM-41 NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 Ni-ZSM-5/MCM-41 Mo-ZSM-5/MCM-41 W-ZSM-5/MCM-41 NiMo-ZSM-5 NiW-ZSM-5 ZSM-5/MCM-41 ZSM-5 MCM-41. It was found that the bimetallic NiMo-and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts give higher yields of liquid hydrocarbons than other catalysts at a given conversion. Types of hydrocarbon in liquid products,identified by simulated distillation gas chromatography-flame ionization detector( SimDis GC-FID),are gasoline( 150-200 ℃; C5-12),kerosene( 250-300 ℃; C5-20) and diesel( 350 ℃; C7-20).Moreover,the conversion of CPO to biofuel products using the NiMo-and NiW-ZSM-5/MCM-41 catalysts offers no statistically significant difference( P 0.05) at 95% confidence level,evaluated by SPSS analysis.     

nV-MCM-41 催化剂的制备及其催化 CO2氧化丙烷脱氢反应性能

丙烯是一种重要的化工原料, 其下游产品丰富, 用途广泛, 主要用于生产聚丙烯、丙烯腈、丙烯酸和丁醇等化工产品.丙烯的需求正在不断增长, 而传统的丙烯生产方法如蒸汽裂解和石油催化裂化, 存在反应温度高、积碳严重且丙烯收率较低等问题. 因此研制丙烷脱氢制取丙烯的高效催化剂尤为重要. 研究发现, 以 CO2作为温和氧化剂进行逆水气变换反应可有效促进丙烷脱氢. 催化剂主要由活性组分与载体构成, 本文选择可用于活化丙烷的钒作为主要活性组分. 钒氧化物在载体上的高度分散是提高丙烷脱氢反应活性的关键. MCM-41 拥有较大的比表面积和高度有序的介孔结构, 可更有效地分散活性位点. 本文采用一步法合成了不同钒含量的 nV-MCM-41 催化剂 (1.9-10.6 wt%), 并研究了其在以下条件下催化丙烷氧化脱氢制丙烯反应性能: 600 °C, 催化剂质量 0.2 g, 进料气体组成 C3H8/CO2/Ar (摩尔比) = 1/4/4, 进料气体总流量 15 mL/min. 其中 6.8V-MCM-41 催化剂具有最高的活性, 其初始丙烷转化率达 58%, 丙烯选择性达 92%, 远高于相似反应条件下早期研究的 nV-SBA-15 催化剂. 并在四次反应-再生循环中始终保持其原来的高反应活性. 本文借助于 N2吸附-脱附、拉曼光谱 (Raman)、X 射线光电子能谱 (XPS)和热重 (TG) 等手段探究了不同钒含量的 nV-MCM-41 催化剂在丙烷脱氢反应中催化性能差异的原因.氮气吸附-脱附结果表明, 所有催化剂都存在典型的高度有序的介孔结构, 并没有因为钒组分的掺杂而破坏. nV-MCM-41催化剂拥有较大比表面积,并随钒掺杂量的增加而减小. 其中,10.8V-MCM-41催化剂的比表面积急剧下降,可能是由于产生了结晶的 V2O5阻塞了孔道. Raman 结果表明, 当钒负载量超过 6.8 wt% 时, 出现了 V2O5的结晶峰. 另外根据单分散的四面体钒氧化物的特征峰面积发现, 6.8V-MCM-41 催化剂中钒物种分散度最高, 与其具有最高催化活性结果一致. XPS 结果也进一步证明 6.8V-MCM-41 钒物种的分散度最高. 在连续反应过程中 6.8V-MCM-41 催化剂失活较快,可归结于活性钒位点的还原与催化剂表面的积碳. 通过氧化再生, 可恢复催化剂活性, 并且在 4 次再生循环中始终保持其良好稳定的活性.     

MCM-41和HZSM-5协同催化对油菜秸秆热解的影响

以油菜秸秆为原料,采用两种方案分层布置催化剂(HZSM-5/MCM-41和MCM-41/HZSM-5),并与MCM-41和HZSM-5单独催化进行对比,从生物油品质和催化剂耐久性两个角度探究协同催化作用机理;对精制生物油有机相进行理化特性分析,采用FT-IR和GC-MS进行成分分析,对催化剂进行耐久性分析。结果表明,与单独催化相比,协同催化所得精制生物油液相产率略有降低,气相产率升高,精制生物油有机相理化特性进一步提高,其中,MCM-41/HZSM-5协同催化所得精制生物油有机相热值较高,为34.31 MJ/kg;精制生物油有机相中含有多种芳香族类物质和少量的羰基类物质,协同催化较单独催化能产生较多的烃类物质及较少的含氧芳香族类物质,其中,MCM-41/HZSM-5协同催化所得精制生物油有机相中烃类物质含量较高,且以单环芳香烃为主;HZSM-5分子筛在300-800℃有两个失重峰,MCM-41分子筛在300-800℃仅有一个失重峰,表明MCM-41催化剂上沉积的焦炭成分单一,较易去除,且协同催化后分子筛表面沉积的焦炭总含量较少。     

Deoxydesulfurization of dibenzothiophene sulfone over cesium/MCM-41 catalysts

Dibenzothiophene sulfone, one of the products of the oxidative desulfurization of heavy oil, can be utilized through catalytic cracking. The object of the present study is to provide Cs/MCM-41 catalysts for the removal of sulfur dioxide from dibenzothiophene sulfone. Cesium oxide was deposited via an impregnation method on MCM-41, and the catalytic performances of the samples were investigated during the deoxydesulfurization of dibenzothiophene sulfone to biphenyl and sulfur dioxide gas. The influence of cesium loading on the basic properties of MCM-41 was estimated by the temperature-programmed desorption of carbon dioxide. The dibenzothiophene sulfone conversions of the MCM-41, Cs(1 wt%)/MCM-41, Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 and Cs(10 wt%)/MCM-41 catalysts were 38.5, 52.1, 72.4 and 40.9%, respectively, which implies that the Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 catalyst has the highest activity. This result agrees with the finding of the basicity enhancement of MCM-41 with the addition of cesium, in which Cs(3 wt%)/MCM-41 exhibited a maximum number of basic sites.     

Preparation of MnCo/MCM-41 catalysts with high performance for chlorobenzene combustion

MCM-41 was synthesized by a soft template technique. The specific surface area and pore volume of the MCM-41 were 805.9 m²/g and 0.795 cm³/g, respectively. MCM-41-supported manganese and cobalt oxide catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy clearly confirmed the existence of Mn, Co, and O, which indicated the successful loading of the active components on the surface of MCM-41. The structure and function of the catalysts were changed by modulating the molar ratio of manganese to cobalt. The 10%MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41 (Mn/Co molar ratio is 6:1) catalyst displayed the best catalytic activity according to the activity evaluation experiments, and chlorobenzene (1000 ppm) was totally decomposed at 270 °C. The high activity correlated with a high dispersion of the oxides and was attributed to the exposure of more active sites, which was demonstrated by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The strong interactions between MnO₂, Co₃O₄, MnCoO_x, and MCM-41 indicated that cobalt promoted the redox cycles of the manganese system. The bimetal-oxide-based catalyst showed better catalytic activity than that of the single metal oxide catalysts, which was further confirmed by H₂ temperature-programmed reduction. Chlorobenzene temperature-programmed desorption results showed that 10%MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41 had higher adsorption strength for chlorobenzene than that of single metal catalysts. And stronger adsorption was beneficial for combustion of chlorobenzene. Furthermore, 10%MnCo(6:1)/MCM-41 was not deactivated during a continuous reaction for 1000 h at 260 °C and displayed good resistance to water and benzene, which indicated that the catalyst could be used in a wide range of applications.     

Analytical study on the pyrolytic behaviour of cellulose in the presence of MCM-41 mesoporous materials

The effect of different mesoporous materials of the MCM-41 type on the pyrolytic behaviour of cellulose was evaluated by off-line analytical pyrolysis followed by GC–MS analysis of the evolved products trapped onto a XAD-2 resin. Siliceous MCM-41 (Si-MCM-41) and Me-MCM-41 catalysts containing different metals, namely Al, Mg, Ti, Sn or Zr, were synthesised and investigated utilising the same catalyst/cellulose mass ratio 1:3. The effect of the catalysts was evaluated by quantifying the yields of the following pyrolysis products: (2H)-furan-3-one, 2-furaldehyde, 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-pyran-2-one, levoglucosenone, 1-hydroxy-3,6-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-one (LAC), 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-α-d-glucose and levoglucosan. All the examined mesostructured solids decreased the yields of levoglucosan with respect to uncatalysed cellulose, and increased the production of levoglucosenone and LAC. The effect was higher with doped MCM-41 in comparison to Si-MCM-41. The formation of other pyrolysis products was less influenced by the catalyst. The activity of Sn-MCM-41 was further investigated by preparative pyrolysis with a fixed bed quartz reactor. This catalyst gave rise to a pyrolytic liquid enriched in LAC and depleted in levoglucosan, and could be re-used six times after regeneration without apparent loss of activity.
