Theoretical Study of Ethanethiol Adsorption on HZSM-5 Zeolite

The density functional theory and the cluster model methods have been employed to investigate the interactions between ethanethiol and HZSM-5 zeolites. Molecular complexes formed by the adsorption of ethanethiol on silanol H3SiOH with two coordination forms, model Bronsted acid sites of zeolite cluster H3Si(OH)Al(OH)2SiH3 interaction with ethanethiol, aluminum species adsorbed ethanethiol have been comparatively studied. Full optimization and frequency analysis of all cluster models have been carried out using B3LYP hybrid method at 3-21G basis level for hydrogen atoms and 6-31G(d) basis set level for silicon, aluminum, oxygen, carbon, and sulfur atoms. The structures and energy changes of different coordination forms of H3Si(OH)Al(OH)2SiH3-ethanethiol, silanol-ethanethiol and Al(OH)3-ethanethiol have been studied. The calculated results showed the nature of interactions was van der Waals force as exhibited by not much change in geometric structures and properties. The preference order of ethanethiol adsorbed on HZSM-5 zeolite may be residual aluminum species, bridging hydroxyl groups and silanol OH groups from the adsorption heat. The adsorbed models of protonized ethanethiol on bridging hydroxyl OH groups and linear hydrogen bonded ethanethiol on bridging OH groups suggested in literature might not exist as revealed by this theoretical calculation. Possible adsorption models were obtained for the first time.     

A Study of Acidic Sites in H[M]-ZSM-5 Zeolites by XPS, IR and TPD

The present paper covers an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) method proposed for identifying Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites in zeolites and estimating acidic strength of these sites. It was found that the adsorption of pyridine on different acidic sites of H[M]-ZSM-5 zeolites exhibited three peaks: A (402.20-401.30 eV), B (400.95-400.40 eV) and C (399. 40-399. 10 eV). The peaks A and B are assigned to the N(?) level of pyridine adsorbed on Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites, and peak C is assigned to the N(?) level of pyridine adsorbed on a weak Lewis site and/or strongly physisorbed pyridine, respectively. The comparison of the ratio of the Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites determined from the relative intensities of the N(?), peaks with IR spectroscopic data shows that there is an inhomoge-neous distribution of Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites in H[M]-ZSM-5 zeolites. The N(?), binding energies of pyridine adsorbed on these zeolites directly reflect acidic strength, and these results are in good agre     

Catalytic activity of phosphorus and steam modified HZSM-5 and the theoretical selection of phosphorus grafting model

The modification of HZSM-5 zeolite with phosphorus and steam has been studied. Results show that 1% phosphorus and steam modified HZSM-5 has the highest catalytic activity for n-heptane. Physicochemical and catalytic properties of 1% phosphorus and steam modified HZSM-5 zeolites have been investigated. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） results exhibit that there is considerable variation in the relative intensity of the individual diffraction peaks. The acidity of the samples decreases with an increase in the steaming temperature, which is determined by the IR of adsorbed pyridine and temperature programmed desorption （TPD） of ammonia. The oxidation state of phosphorus shown by XPS is ＋5, and a model for surface structure modification is proposed. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm for all samples is a combination of type I and type IV, all hysteresis loops resemble the H4-type. The density functional and cluster model methods have been invoked to select the phosphorus grafting model, and it was found that the phosphorus grafting model were more probable in the form of the terminal oxygen coordinating with aluminum.     

异丁烯在不同硅铝比的NanZSM-5型分子筛中的吸附：分子模拟研究

Frameworks of NanZSM-5 type zeolites with various Si/A1 ratios have been constructed and optimized with molecular dynamic quench simulation. The results show that the structure parameters of NanZSM-5 type zeolite, including the bond length and atomic charges, are consistent with those predicted by ab initio cluster calculations. It was also observed that atomic charges of Si atoms were shifted to higher field in NanZSM-5 type zeolite with lower Si/Al ratio. Then, the adsorption of isobutene on NanZSM-5 with various Si/Al ratios has been investigated using grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation and Cvff-300-1.01 forcefield. The simulated adsorption amount was in good agreement with the experimental data. Based on these facts, the effects of Si/Al ratio on the adsorption amount and adsorption isotherms of isobutene on NanZSM-5 were predicted. The results indicated that Si/Al ratio was important for the adsorption of isobutene and the adsorption amount was decreased as the Si/Al ratio was increased, which can be explained that the atomic charge of Na^＋ cation would influence greatly the π electrons of the isobutene double bond due to the Coulomb force. In addition, the adsorption sites of isobutene and interaction energy of isobutene with NanZSM-5 were also discussed.     

EFFECT OF WATER ON THE OXIDATION OF METHANOL OVER ELECTROLYTIC SILVER

The mechanism of methanol adsorption induced by oxygen and the effect of water on the methanol oxidation on electrolytic silver have been studied by ultra-high vacuum temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy(TPRS), transient response method and isotopic exchange experiment. It has been found that oxygen adsorbed on silver can greatly promote methanol adsorption and can also react with methanol to produce water. Experimental results show that oxygen in the water comes from the adsorbed oxygen and hydrogen from the methyl and the hydroxyl in methanol. It has also been found that there exists competitive adsorption between water and oxygen on silver and water can increase the selectivity of methanol oxidation to formaldehyde. This result is consistent with the catalytic activities.     

A Novel Cobalt（Ⅲ） Complex with Macrocyclic Triamine Ligand for High Capacity Hydrogen Adsorption

The coordination complex of Co(Ⅲ) based on a macrocyclic triamine ligand 1,4-diacetate-1,4,7-triazacyclodecane (L) has been synthesized and characterized. The metal cation is bonded with three nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms of L and one chloride ion to form a distorted octahedral geometry. This complex coordinated with macrocyclic ligand possesses large pore volume that will be contributed to observe high H2 adsorption. With respect to the first-principles electronic structure calculations, the feasibility to store hydrogen in the complex is explored. Indeed, the complex has shown a very high total H2 adsorption of 7.2 wt% (wt% = (weight of adsorbed H2)/(weight of host material)), with a binding energy of 0.03 eV/H2.     

^1H NMR Study of Polyvinylalcohol Irradiated by Ultra-violet

The effect of Ultra-violet light on the structure and motion of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) chains was studied by IH NMR, spin-lattice relaxation and IR spectroscopy. The results indicated that with the increase of irradiation time, the intensity of the polymer hydroxyl proton peaks decreased and finally vanished, which suggested the self-condensation between the hydroxyl groups proceeded. No methyl proton peaks appeared in the spectra after irradiation shows that there is no cleavage of polymer chain. The longer the irradiation time is, the wider the proton peak of the residual water of the solvent is and it shifted toward low field. This result implies that the hydrogen bonds formed between the polymer and the residual water. The absorption peak of hydroxyl group of the polymer moves toward the lower wave number in the IR spectrum that showed the existence of the hydrogen bonds between the PVA macromolecules.     

MORPHOLOGY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLY(ETHYLENEOCTENE) COPOLYMERS OBTAINED BY DYNAMIC PACKING INJECTION MOLDING*

The morphology and mechanical properties of poly(ethylene-octene)copolymers(POE)obtained by dynamic packing injection molding were investigated by mechanical tests,differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The mechanical tests found that only POE with low octene content and high molecular weight show apparent response for external shear field.Further investigation has been done by DSC,FT-IR,and SEM in order to make clear the reason of that phenomenon.Finally,the hypothetical mechanism of POE microstructure formation under shear field has been proposed.For POE with low octene content and high molecular weight,orientation degree and mechanical properties both increase substantially under shear field.For POE with low octene content and low molecular weight,orientation degree and crystallinity increase under shear field,but it is not dramatically benefit for the mechanical properties.For POE with high octene content and high molecular weight,the shear field has little effect on the morphology and mechanical properties.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Physical Properties, and Application of a Series of Functional Dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine Derivatives

The twisted aromatics, functional dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives were synthesized in high yields from reactions of 5,5＇-dibromo-2,2＇-biphenol with corresponding ketal or ketone compounds under acid catalysis. The structures of these compounds were characterized by ^1H NMR, elemental analysis, UV-Vis absorption spectrum and X-ray diffraction analysis. The conformation of O--C--O bridged biphenyl derivatives with varied substitute groups on 6,6＇-position was studied by X-ray crystallography and force-field simulation. The result of calculations by UNIVERSAL 1.02 force field in Cerius2 package（4.6） indicates that dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives show twisted conformations and the twisted angle between the phenyl rings is about 40°, which is accordant with the result from crystal structure determination, though the obtained angles in the crystal of dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives with the varied substitute groups on 6,6＇-position are shown to be slightly shifted to 40° owing to intermolecular interactions in crystal stacking. DSC studies exhibit that the substitute groups on 6,6＇-position can induce a large variation of endothermic peaks ranging from 80 to 135 ℃. The conjugated polymers based on dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives, which have ultraviolet emitting with a quantum efficiency of 10%, were obtained by Yamamoto coupling.     

The Thermal Stability and Adsorbability of the Mechylated Silica Gel

The methylated silica gel has been produced by the reaction between the surface silanol groups and Clsi(CH3)3 vapor.The adsorption isotherms of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloride onto silica gel and emthylated silica gel heated at various temperatures have been determined at 25℃,and the above mentioned silica gels have been studied by TC and IR.The results indicate:(1) The adsorption of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloried onto methylated silica gel decreased greatly,probably because the concentration of the free hydroxyl groups for methylated silica gel decreased greatly as the IR shows.(2) As the methylated surface was destroyed at 450℃,the adsorption ability was restored when the methylated silica gel treated at>500℃.(3) So long as the methylated silica gel was treated at high temperature,the adsorption ability could be restored owing to that surface free hydroxyl groups were reproduced.

The leading role of association in framework modification of highly siliceous zeolites with adsorbed methylamine.

Affinity index (AT value), adsorption heat, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and 13C and 29Si magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies were used to study the interaction of highly siliceous MFI-, FAU-, and FER-type zeolites with adsorbed methylamine (MA). Compared with the data for methanol, the much higher AT values and adsorption heats, and significant changes in XRD patterns, 29Si MAS NMR spectra, and FTIR spectra for the zeolites after adsorption of MA, revealed a strong hydrogen-bonding interaction between the perfect framework of the zeolites and the adsorbed MAs. This interaction results from the fact that the H atom of the amine group attacks the [Si-O] framework to form a Si-OHN bond, which leads to the appearance of Si-N bonds in the zeolites at 323 K. Therefore, the zeolite framework can be modified with MA under mild conditions. The highly siliceous MFI zeolite and the H-ZSM-5 zeolite with SiO2/Al2O3=31:1 were modified with MA and investigated by temperature-programmed desorption of CO2. The modified zeolites exhibited greatly enhanced basic properties in comparison with those of the raw materials. The influence of defects in the zeolite on the adsorption and the interaction with MA is discussed.     

Characterisation of Siliceous Extra‐Framework Species in DAY Zeolites by 29Si MAS NMR and IR Spectroscopic Measurements

Dealuminated Y zeolites (DAY) were obtained by steaming of NH₄NaY at temperatures between 450 °C and 700 °C. They were characterised by means of ²⁷Al and ²⁹Si MAS NMR, IR spectroscopic and XRD measurements. The Si/Al framework ratios of samples were calculated using the ²⁹Si MAS NMR signal intensities, the wave numbers of the double‐ring vibration band w_DR and the asymmetrical TOT valence vibration w_TOT of IR spectra as well as the XRD lattice constant a₀. In contrast to actual Si/Al ratio obtained from w_DR and a₀, the NMR spectroscopic and w_TOT values were determined to be too high because of the superposition of the signals coming from dealuminated zeolite framework and silica gel which forms in the zeolite as a result of steaming. The differently determined Si/Al ratios characterise the siliceous extra‐framework species.     

Reactivity of Extra‐framework Species of USY Zeolites in Alkaline Medium

Zeolites of type USY (ultra‐stable Y) were obtained by steaming of NH₄NaY modification. Samples were modified by subsequent alkaline treatment in KOH solution. USY and USY‐KOH were characterised by chemical element analysis, XRD, IR, ²⁹Al and ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopic measurements. Correct silicon to aluminium ratios (Si/Al) were determined by XRD and IR (double ring vibration w_DR) data whereas values calculated according to data of ²⁹Si MAS NMR and IR spectroscopy (asymmetrical TOT valence vibration w_TOT) appeared to be too high., In the latter case, the signals of the zeolite framework were strongly superimposed by that of extra‐framework silica gel (EFSi) formed during steaming. It was found that alkaline leaching induces desilication of silicon‐rich area of the zeolite framework and partial dissolution of EFSi. Silicate ions of both react with likewise dissolved extra‐framework aluminium (EFAl) to form X‐ray amorphous aluminosilicate. Consequently, the superposition of the ²⁹Si MAS NMR signals of the zeolite framework by silica gel was reduced for Q⁴(0Al) but increased for Q⁴ (2Al) and Q⁴(3Al) structure units. A reinsertion of EFAl into the zeolite framework has not been observed.     

Group IV M‐POSS (M=Zr,Hf) Coordination Polymers

The synthesis and characterization of Zr‐POSS and Hf‐POSS coordination polymers were reported. The IR data and the solid‐state ²⁹Si MAS NMR indicated the existence of Si? O? M linkage. The polarized optical microscopy images and the XRD data suggested their crystalline nature.     

Thermodynamics of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on the Protonic Zeolite H‐ZSM‐5

Adsorption of carbon dioxide on H‐ZSM‐5 zeolite (Si:Al=11.5:1) was studied by means of variable‐temperature FT‐IR spectroscopy, in the temperature range of 310–365 K. The adsorbed CO₂ molecules interact with the zeolite Brønsted‐acid OH groups bringing about a characteristic red‐shift of the O? H stretching band from 3610 cm^?1 to 3480 cm^?1. Simultaneously, the ν₃ mode of adsorbed CO₂ is observed at 2345 cm^?1. From the variation of integrated intensity of the IR absorption bands at both 3610 and 2345 cm^?1, upon changing temperature (and CO₂ equilibrium pressure), the standard adsorption enthalpy of CO₂ on H‐ZSM‐5 is ΔH⁰=?31.2(±1) kJ mol^?1 and the corresponding entropy change is ΔS⁰=?140(±10) J mol^?1 K^?1. These results are discussed in the context of available data for carbon dioxide adsorption on other protonic, and also alkali‐metal exchanged, zeolites.     

Contribution of Silica Gels to Superimposed 29Si MAS NMR Spectra of Y Zeolites Dealuminated by Steaming

The ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectra of in situ formed amorphous aluminosilicates and silica gels superimpose the spectra of steamed and chemically modified DAY‐T, DAY‐T_acid, DAY‐T_alkaline and DAY‐T_{alkaline+acid} zeolites. In comparison with XRD data, the Si/Al_NMR ratios of the zeolite framework are determined to high or to low.     

Adsorption of methanol on sodium faujasites and mordenites

Calorimetry and IR spectroscopy were used to study the adsorption of methanol on faujasites and mordenites with different Si/Al ratios. It was shown that the disturbance of the OH bonds in CH₃OH weakens and the heat of adsorption decreases as the cation content in the zeolites decreases. The protic acid sites in decationized mordenite form strong hydrogen bonds with the adsorbed molecules.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Study of the geometry and location of the bridging OH groups in aluminosilicate and silicoaluminophosphate type zeolites using 1H MAS NMR sideband analysis and CP/MAS NMR

A numerical analysis of the ¹H MAS NMR sideband pattern of the bridging OH groups in various zeolites of the aluminosilicate type (LTA, faujasite, erionite, mordenite, pentasil) and of the silicoaluminophosphate type (SAPO-5, −17, −34, −37) yields H-Al distances of the hydroxyl protons to the adjacent framework aluminium nucleus which cover a range between 0.234 and 0.252 nm. From the results, a relation between the H-Al distance and the size of the oxygen rings (6−, 8−, 10− and 12-membered oxygen rings) could be derived. Using ²⁹Si CP/MAS NMR it was shown that the bridging OH groups in zeolites of the aluminosilicate type are located at the Si(nAl) sites with the largest possible number n. While the second coordination sphere of the T positions of the bridging OH groups in zeolites of the silicoaluminophosphate type (Si/(Al + P + Si) < 0.12) is occupied by the same number of phosphorus and aluminium atoms, the bridging OH groups in zeolites of the aluminosilicate type with medium framework aluminium densities are located at the Si(nAl) sites with n = 3, 2 and 1.     

Enhanced Formaldehyde‐Vapor Adsorption Capacity of Polymeric Amine‐Incorporated Aminosilicas

Airborne formaldehyde, which is a highly problematic volatile organic compound (VOC) pollutant, is adsorbed by polymeric amine‐incorporated silicas (aminosilicas), and the factors that affect the adsorption performance are systematically investigated. Three different types of polymeric amines 1) poly(ethyleneimine) branched (PEIBR); 2) poly(ethyleneimine) linear (PEILI); and 3) poly(allylamine) (PAA) are impregnated into two types of porous silicas [SBA‐15 and mesocellular foam (MCF) silicas] with systematic changes of the amine loadings. The adsorption results demonstrate that the adsorption capacity increases along with the amine loading until the polymeric amines completely fill the silica pores. This results in the MCF silica, which has a larger pore volume and hence can accommodate more polymeric amine before completely filling the pore, giving materials that adsorb more formaldehyde, with the largest adsorption capacity, q, of up to 5.7 mmol_HCHO g^?1 among the samples studied herein. Of the three different types of polymers, PAA, comprised of 100 % primary amines, showed the highest amine efficiency μ (mmol_HCHO/mmol_N) for capturing formaldehyde. The chemical structures of the adsorbed formaldehyde are analyzed by ¹³C cross‐polarization magic‐angle spinning (CP‐MAS) NMR, and it is demonstrated that the adsorbed formaldehyde is chemically attached to the aminosilica surface, forming hemiaminal and imine species. Because the chemical adsorption of formaldehyde forms covalent bonds, it is not desorbed from the aminosilicas below 130 °C based on temperature‐programed‐desorption (TPD) analysis. The high formaldehyde‐adsorption capacity and stability of the trapped formaldehyde on the amine surface in this study reveal the potential utility of aminosilicas as formaldehyde abatement materials.
