Mixed matrix vanadium oxide catalytic nanocomposite membrane for styrene oxidation

Mesoporous nanocomposite membranes with vanadium oxide–carbon nanotubes (V_xO_y-CNTs) embedded in γ-Al₂O₃ were successfully synthesized using the dip coating method. The membranes were evaluated for styrene oxidation to determine the optimum styrene conversion and benzaldehyde selectivity. Several factors that influence the preparation of defect-free coatings, such as the type of binder, the binder addition time and surface support treatments, were investigated. The physico-chemical permeation properties of the membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray Diffraction XRD, Nitrogen adsorption (BET) and Thermogravimetric TGA. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effects of oxidant (H₂O₂) concentration, temperature, contact time and catalyst loading on styrene conversion and the selectivity of benzaldehyde. Based on the RSM analysis, the optimal oxidation conditions included a reaction temperature of 45 °C, a differential pressure of 1.5 bars, a molar ratio of H₂O₂: styrene of 1.5:1 and a catalyst loading of 30 %. These conditions resulted in the maximal styrene conversion of 25.6 and 84.9 % benzaldehyde selectivity.     

Promotion of oxidative desulfurization performance of model fuel by 3DOM Ce-doped HPW/TiO2 material

Phosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on Ce-doped three-dimensional ordered macroporous (3DOM) TiO₂ catalysts are studied in catalytic oxidation desulfurization (ODS) of model oil. The structural and textural of as-synthesized catalysts are characterized by N₂ adsorption, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, TEM, FT-IR, XPS, UV–Vis and ICP. These results upheld the existence of periodically arranged macroporous structure of catalyst, with Keggin-type of HPW dispersed homogeneously on TiO₂ matrix. Among these 3DOM Ce-doped HPW/TiO₂ materials, catalyst with 15 wt.% cerium dosage exhibits best ODS performance, which oxidized 99.8% of dibenzothiophene (DBT) into corresponding sulfone within 40 min. The excellent ODS performance of 3DOM Ce-doped HPW/TiO₂ catalyst is related to the common influence of more oxygen vacancies produced by electron transformation between Ce³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺. The chemisorbed oxygen on the surface catalyst will facilitate the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfones. Moreover, the 3DOM structure of catalyst will further promote the mass transfer of reactants and products on the pore channel. The as-prepared catalyst shows excellent reusability in the ODS system, no obviously decrease in catalytic activity even after 6 runs.     

The selective catalytic oxidation of toluene

It was found for the first time that the selectivity of toluene transformations into benzaldehyde and benzoic acid decreased and into maleic anhydride and deep oxidation products increased as the ability of vanadium-containing catalysts of toluene oxidation to generate the singlet form of molecular oxygen grew. A scheme of the formation of the products of toluene oxidation with oxygen was suggested. Quinones were shown to be final rather than intermediate oxidation products. The selectivity of the reaction with respect to mild oxidation products in the presence of V₂O₅, MoO₃, and V₂O₅ · MoO₃ could be increased by changing the temperature of catalyst preparation from 400 to 500°C.

Selective hydrolysis of cellulose for the preparation of microcrystalline cellulose by phosphotungstic acid

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), prepared from natural cellulose through acid hydrolysis, has been widely used in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries because of its high degree of crystallinity, small particle size and other characteristics. Being different from conventional mineral acids, phosphotungstic acid (H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, HPW) was explored for hydrolyzing cellulose selectively for the preparation of MCC in this study. Various reaction parameters, such as the acid concentration, reaction time, temperature and solid-liquid ratio, were optimized. Rod-like MCC was obtained with a high yield of 93.62 % and also exhibited higher crystallinity and narrower particle diameter distribution (76.37 %, 13.77–26.17 μm) compared with the raw material (56.47 %, 32.41–49.74 μm) at 90 °C for 2 h with 58 % (w/w) HPW catalyst and a solid-liquid radio of 1:40. Furthermore, HPW can easily be extracted and recycled with diethyl ether for four runs without affecting the quality of the MCC products. The technology of protecting the crystalline region while selectively hydrolyzing the amorphous region of cellulose as much as possible by using HPW is of great significance. Due to the strong Brønsted acid sites and highest activity in solid heteropoly acid, the use of effective homogeneous HPW may offer an eco-friendly and sustainable way to selectively convert fiber resources into chemicals in the future.     

Efficient and Reusable Sn(II)‐containing Imidazolium‐based Ionic Liquid as a Catalyst for the Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol

A simple and efficient catalytic system [BBIM]Br–SnCl₂ for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant has been developed. Reaction conditions such as the catalyst dose, the solvents, reaction temperature, reaction time, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide were investigated. The optimum reaction conditions identified were 0.11 g of catalyst, no solvent, 65°C, 15 min, and 2 mmol of hydrogen peroxide. Oxidation of various alcohols was also investigated under the optimized conditions. The catalyst [BBIM]Br–SnCl₂ can be easily recovered and reused for six reaction runs without significant loss of catalytic activity, because the Sn species of the catalyst can be coordinated with the imidazole ring of the ionic liquid. The reused catalyst was further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to evaluate its chemical properties. The results proved that the [BBIM]Br–SnCl₂ catalyst was stable and reusable for the oxidation reactions. A possible mechanism for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde is proposed.     

Macro-kinetics of styrene oxidation catalyzed by Co<Superscript>2+</Superscript>-exchanged X

The macro-kinetics and pathway of styrene oxidation catalyzed by Co²⁺-exchanged X, using O₂ as oxidant, were investigated. The effects of external diffusion, internal diffusion, the styrene concentration, O₂ pressure, the catalyst concentration and the reaction temperature on the styrene oxidation reaction rate were examined. The results showed that the reaction rate of styrene oxidation was 0.19 order with respect to the styrene concentration, 0.64 order with respect to O₂ pressure, and zero to first order with respect to the different catalyst concentration. The calculated activation energy for this reaction was 13.79 kJ/mol. On the other hand, the three products in the styrene oxidation reaction were, respectively, used as the reactant to examine the reaction pathway of styrene oxidation. The results revealed that styrene oxidation reaction occurred as two parallel reactions. One was the production of styrene oxide and the other was the production of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde with former partially oxidized to benzoic acid and the latter mostly oxidized to O₂ and H₂O. Published in Russian in Kinetika i Kataliz, 2009, vol. 50, No. 2, pp. 212–217. The article is published in the original.     

Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil over Mesoporous SO42-/Zr-SBA-15

Biodiesel production from waste cooking oils over SO₄^2-/Zr-SBA-15 catalyst was successfully carried out and investigated. SO₄^2-/Zr-SBA-15 catalyst was prepared by one-step process using anhydrous zirconium nitrate as zirconium resource, and endowed with the strong Lewis acid sites formed by supporting the zirconium species onto the SBA-15 surface. The asprepared SO₄^2-/Zr-SBA-15 showed excellent triglyceride conversion efficiency of 92.3% and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) yield of 91.7% for the transesteriffication of waste cooking oil with methanol under the optimized reaction conditions: the methanol/oil molar ratio of 30, the reaction temperature of 160 oC, the reaction time of 12 h and 10wt% of catalyst. It was noticed that the as-prepared SO₄^2-/Zr-SBA-15 materials with the higher area surface of mesoporous framework and the surface acidity displayed excellent stability and reusability, maintaining high FAME yield of (74±1)% after seven runs of reaction.     

Pt/ZrO2:An Efficient Catalyst for Aerobic Oxidation of Toluene in Aqueous Solution

The heterogeneous oxidation of toluene in aqueous medium has been investigated. Artificially contaminated water with aromatic compound (toluene) was exposed to a simple platinized zirconia (1% Pt/ZrO₂) catalyst in the presence of molecular oxygen. This selective oxidation of toluene to benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid provides a step for removing toluene from wastewater or converting it into less harmful substances. Different parameters, e.g. the reaction time, temperature, pressure, the amount of catalyst and agitation, etc influenced the toluene conversion and selectivity. Typical batch reactor kinetic data were obtained and fitted to the classical Langmuir‐Hinshelwood model, Mars‐van Krevelen model as well as to the Eley‐Rideal model of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. The Eley‐Rideal model was found to give a better fit. 1% Pt/ZrO₂ was observed to be the most active for oxidation of toluene at 333 K in oxygenated atmosphere [p(O₂) ca. 101 kPa] with a nominal stirring speed ≧900 r/min. It was found that catalytic oxidation may be an effective method for the removal of volatile organic compounds from aqueous solutions and comparable to other advanced oxidation processes.

Cu functionalized nano crystalline ZSM-5 as efficient catalyst for selective oxidation of toluene

Nano crystalline ZSM-5 (NZ) functionalized with Cu has been explored for the selective oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid for the first time, where a comparison is made with the traditional microcrystalline ZSM-5 (MZ) based catalyst having similar framework Si/Al ratios at organic solvent-less reaction conditions in presence of H₂O₂ as a green oxidant. The ZSM-5 catalysts exhibited oxidation property even in the absence of any Cu species, but with low toluene conversions and benzoic acid yields. Functionalization with Cu greatly enhanced the benzoic acid formation, especially on NZ loaded with 0.4 wt% of Cu (Cu-NZ) to produce 92 wt% of benzoic acid, by virtue of the presence of highly dispersed nano particles of CuO along with Cu⁺² ions on the high surface area, mesopore possessing NZ support, revealed from XRD, N₂ adsorption-desorption, XPS, SEM, TEM, FITR, TPR and TPD analysis.     

Textural,structural and catalytic properties of zirconia doped by heteropolytungstic acid: a comparative study between aerogel and xerogel catalysts

Zirconia doped by heteropolytungstic acid HPW have been synthesized by sol–gel method using two drying techniques of the solvent evacuation. Samples were analyzed with adsorption–desorption of N₂ at 77 K, and the aerogel catalyst was found to exhibit a higher surface area and a higher average pore diameter compared to xerogel. XRD results show that aerogel develops ZrO₂ tetragonal phase, whereas xerogel is amorphous. The thermal analysis studies show that the aerogel’s thermal stability is better than the xerogel one. The catalytic behavior of the aerogel and xerogel toward the nature of the isomerization products probably depends on the acidity and the presence of carbide species. This has been explained by XPS and isopropanol dehydration reaction. In fact, the deconvolution aerogel’s Cls bands reveals the presence of four carbon species assigned to C–C, C=O, C–O and carbide species.     

A novel ternary GO@SiO2‐HPW nanocomposite as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of benzazoles in aqueous media

A new solid acid catalyst, consisting of 12‐phosphotungstic heteropoly acid (HPW) supported on graphene oxide/silica nanocomposite (GO@SiO₂), has been developed via immobilizing HPW onto an amine‐functionalized GO/SiO₂ surface through coordination interaction (GO@SiO₂‐HPW). The GO@SiO₂‐HPW nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The prepared nanocomposite could be dispersed homogeneously in water and further used as a heterogeneous, reusable, and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles by the reaction of 1,2‐phenelynediamine or 2‐aminothiophenol with different aldehydes.     

The Cu(I)- and HNO<Subscript>3</Subscript>-catalyzed oxidation of substituted toluenes to the benzoic acid based on NO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> recycling

Based on the recycling of NO _x , the Cu(I)- and HNO₃-catalyzed oxidation of 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)toluene to 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid has been developed with an excellent yield of 84.2% and a purity of 99.7%. The optimized reaction conditions (160 °C, oxygen pressure 1.5 MPa, HNO₃ concentration 25 wt%, HNO₃: substrate 0.5:1) use 1.0 mol% CuI as catalyst. The dosage of HNO₃ in the new process is only 25% of the stoichiometric amount and 12.5% of the amount of the traditional process. The NO _x emission is 5% amount of the traditional process. The oxidation of several additional toluene derivatives with comparable yields demonstrates the generality to these reaction conditions.

Oxygenation and chlorination of aromatic hydrocarbons with hydrochloric acid photosensitized by 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium under visible light irradiation

Efficient photocatalytic oxygenation of toluene occurs under visible light irradiation of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium (Acr⁺–Mes) in oxygen-saturated acetonitrile containing toluene and aqueous hydrochloric acid with a xenon lamp for 15 h. The oxygenated products, benzoic acid (70 %) and benzaldehyde (30 %), were formed after the photoirradiation. The photocatalytic reaction is initiated by intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer from the mesitylene moiety to the singlet excited state of the Acr⁺ moiety of Acr⁺–Mes, which affords the electron-transfer state, Acr^?–Mes^?+. The Mes^?+ moiety can oxidize chloride ion (Cl^?) by electron transfer to produce chlorine radical (Cl^?), whereas the Acr^? moiety can reduce O₂ to O ₂ ^?? . The Cl^? radical produced abstracts a hydrogen from toluene to afford benzyl radical in competition with the bimolecular radical coupling of Cl^?. The benzyl radical reacts with O₂ rapidly to afford the peroxyl radical, leading to the oxygenated product, benzaldehyde. Benzaldehyde is readily further photooxygenated to yield benzoic acid with Acr^?–Mes^?+. In the case of an aromatic compound with electron-donating substituents, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, photocatalytic chlorination occurred efficiently under the same photoirradiation conditions to yield a monochloro-substituted compound, 2,4,6-trimethoxychlorobenzene.
