工业Fe-Mn催化剂上基于详细反应机理的F-T合成动力学模型Ⅱ.不同校正方法的动力学模型分析

 通过平衡闪蒸模拟催化剂孔道液体组成、烯烃物理吸附和虚拟烯烃分压等方法,考察了化学反应以外的非本征因素对F-T合成动力学模型的校正. 平衡闪蒸模拟催化剂孔道中烯烃组成的校正计算结果表明,在烯烃浓度出现峰值前,溶解度效应对烯烃再吸附及参与二次反应起主导作用,而在烯烃浓度出现峰值后,烯烃的扩散和物理吸附等效应可能起主导作用. 分析烯烃添加的反应器模拟结果发现,考虑烯烃物理吸附作用的动力学模型校正方法不能够正确反映烯烃添加实验的定性规律,而虚拟烯烃分压校正方法能够正确反映烃分布规律并可定量预测烯烃添加对产物分布规律的影响,这对需要尾气循环的F-T合成工业操作具有重要意义.     

Use of water in aiding olefin/paraffin (liquid + liquid) extraction via complexation with a silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide salt

This paper describes the extraction of C₅–C₈ linear α-olefins from olefin/paraffin mixtures of the same carbon number via a reversible complexation with a silver salt (silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, Ag[Tf₂N]) to form room temperature ionic liquids [Ag(olefin)_x][Tf₂N]. From the experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibrium data for the olefin/paraffin mixtures and Ag[Tf₂N], 1-pentene showed the best separation performance while C₇ and C₈ olefins could only be separated from the corresponding mixtures on addition of water which also improves the selectivity at lower carbon numbers like the C₅ and C₆, for example. Using infrared and Raman spectroscopy of the complex and Ag[Tf₂N] saturated by olefin, the mechanism of the extraction was found to be based on both chemical complexation and the physical solubility of the olefin in the ionic liquid ([Ag(olefin)_x][Tf₂N]). These experiments further support the use of such extraction techniques for the separation of olefins from paraffins.

Computational Study on Thermodynamic Properties of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Process

Using the highly accurate G4 method, we computed the thermodynamic data of 1287 possible reaction products under a wide range of reaction conditions in the Fischer-Tropcsh synthesis (FTS) process. These accurate thermodynamic data provide basic thermodynamic quantities for the actual chemical engineering process and are useful in analyzing product distribution because FTS demonstrates many features of an equilibrium-controlled system. Our results show that the number of thermodynamically allowed products to increase when lowering temperature, raising pressure, and raising H₂/CO ratio. At low temperature, high pressure and high H₂/CO ratio, many products are thermodynamically allowed and the selectivity of product has to be controlled by kinetic factors. On the other hand, high selectivity of lighter products can be realized in thermodynamics by raising temperature and lowering pressure. We found that the equilibrium product yield will reach a maximum and remain unchanged when lowering temperature, raising pressure, and raising H₂/CO ratio to some limits, implying that optimizing reaction conditions has no effect on equilibrium product yields beyond these limits. The thermodynamic analysis is also useful in designing and evaluating FTS reaction mechanisms. We found that reaction pathways through formaldehyde should be discarded because of its extremely low equilibrium yield. Recently, in the FTS process using metal-oxide-zeolite catalysts for the highly selective production of C₂-C₄ olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons, there are several guesses on the possible reaction intermediates entering the zeolite channel. Our results show that ketene, methanol, and dimethyl ether are three possible reaction intermediates.     

Kinetic Modeling of Secondary Methane Formation and 1‐Olefin Hydrogenation in Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis over a Cobalt Catalyst

A detailed kinetic model of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) product formation, including secondary methane formation and 1‐olefin hydrogenation, has been developed. Methane formation in FTS over the cobalt‐based catalyst is well known to be higher‐than‐expected compared to other n‐paraffin products under typical reaction conditions. A novel model proposes secondary methane formation on a different type of active site, which is not active in forming C₂₊ products, to explain this anomalous methane behavior. In addition, a model of secondary 1‐olefin hydrogenation has also been developed. Secondary 1‐olefin hydrogenation is related to secondary methane formation with both reactions happening on the same type of active sites. The model parameters were estimated from experimental data obtained with Co/Re/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst in a slurry‐phase stirred tank reactor over a range of conditions (T = 478, 493, and 503 K, P = 1.5 and 2.5 MPa, H₂/CO feed ratio = 1.4 and 2.1, and X _CO = 16–62%). The proposed model including secondary methane formation and 1‐olefin hydrogenation is shown to provide an improved quantitative and qualitative prediction of experimentally observed behavior compared to the detailed model with only primary reactions.     

Direct and Highly Selective Conversion of Synthesis Gas into Lower Olefins: Design of a Bifunctional Catalyst Combining Methanol Synthesis and Carbon–Carbon Coupling

The direct synthesis of lower (C₂ to C₄) olefins, key building‐block chemicals, from syngas (H₂ /CO), which can be derived from various nonpetroleum carbon resources, is highly attractive, but the selectivity for lower olefins is low because of the limitation of the Anderson–Schulz–Flory distribution. We report that the coupling of methanol‐synthesis and methanol‐to‐olefins reactions with a bifunctional catalyst can realize the direct conversion of syngas to lower olefins with exceptionally high selectivity. We demonstrate that the choice of two active components and the integration manner of the components are crucial to lower olefin selectivity. The combination of a Zr–Zn binary oxide, which alone shows higher selectivity for methanol and dimethyl ether even at 673 K, and SAPO‐34 with decreased acidity offers around 70 % selectivity for C₂–C₄ olefins at about 10 % CO conversion. The micro‐ to nanoscale proximity of the components favors the lower olefin selectivity.     

Mass- and heat-transfer-enhanced catalyst system for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in fixed-bed reactors

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was carried out using Al₂O₃-supported Co catalyst coated on metallic monolith. Considering the liberation of a large amont of heat from the highly exothermic FTS reaction, catalytic activity of Co catalyst coated on metallic monolith was tested and compared with that of pellet-type catalysts. The reaction was carried out in a conventional tubular fixed-bed reactor and simulated distillation (SIMDIS) analysis method was used to determine the liquid products distribution. Proper control of degree of reaction, as well as the reaction temperature gave rise to a shift of products selectivity toward higher hydrocarbons, especially C₁₃?C₁₈ diesel range hydrocarbons.     

Isothermal Kinetics Modelling of the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis over the Spray-Dried Fe-Cu-K Catalyst

The isothermal kinetics of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) over Fe-Cu-K spray-dried catalyst was studied in a spinning basket reactor. The experiments were carried out at a constant temperature of 523 K, n(H2)/n(CO) feed ratios of 0.8-2.0, reactor pressures of 1.1-2.5 MPa, and space velocity of 0.556×10-3 Nm3/kgcat·s. Kinetic model for hydrocarbon formation was derived on the basis of simplified carbide mechanism to reduce the number of parameters. Two individual rate constants for methane and ethene were considered. Furthermore, the model was modified empirically by non-intrinsic effect, such as physisorption and fictitious olefin pressures that were taken into account, and the influences of secondary reaction of α-olefins on product distribution. The simulation results showed that the experimental phenomena of FTS and the deviations from ASF distribution, such as the relatively high yield of methane and low yield of ethene observed experimentally could be depicted basically.     

The electrophilic addition of thiols to olefins: A theoretical and experimental study

Density functional theory with the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6–31G* basis set was used to study the geometric and electronic structure of H₂C = CHR (R = H, CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇, C₄H₉, and C₅H₁₁) olefins, their carbocations formed in the addition of the proton to the olefins, R′-S-H aliphatic thiols (R′ = H, CH₃, C₂H₅, and C₃H₇), the products of the addition of thiols to carbocations, and the final products of the addition of thiols to olefins. The proton affinity of the olefins and the products of the addition of thiols to olefins was calculated. The conclusion was drawn that the limiting stage in the nonradical addition of thiols to olefins catalyzed by acids was proton transfer from the protonated reaction product to the olefin. The theoretical results were compared with the experimental data on the electrophilic addition of polymercaptan to heptene-1.     

C3‐Symmetric Trisimidazoline‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Bromolactonization of Internal Alkenoic Acids

A method for conducting enantioselective bromolactonization reactions of trisubstituted alkenoic acids, using the C₃‐symmetric trisimidazoline 1 and 1,3‐dibromo‐5,5‐dimethyl hydantoin as a bromine source, has been developed. The process generates chiral δ‐lactones that contain a quaternary carbon. The results of studies probing geometrically different olefins show that (Z)‐olefins rather than (E)‐olefins are favorable substrates for the process. The method is not only applicable to acyclic olefin reactants but can also be employed to transform cyclic trisubstituted olefins into chiral spirocyclic lactones. Finally, the synthetic utility of the newly developed process is demonstrated by its application to a concise synthesis of tanikolide, an antifungal marine natural product.     

CO Hydrogenation by K-Promoted Coprecipitated Co/Al2O3

Effect of K promotion on the CO hydrogenation activity and selectivity of coprecipitated Co/Al₂O₃ has been studied. K addition is found to lower total activity while enhancing C₂-C₄ olefins selectivity; kinetic data indicate that the reaction mechanism is not affected.     

烯烃在催化裂化催化剂上反应机理的初步研究

在自制的微反-色谱装置上,进行了单体烯烃和催化裂化汽油在不同条件下的催化裂化反应实验。对单体烯烃的裂化反应规律和汽油中的烯烃在半再生催化剂和待生催化剂上的催化裂化反应规律进行对比分析。结果表明,单体烯烃反应中,C6及C6以下的烯烃主要发生骨架异构和双键异构反应,氢转移和直接裂化反应发生的较少。C7以上的烯烃95%以上发生转化,高温下直接裂化生成C3、C4,氢转移和异构化比率较大。汽油中的烯烃转化主要集中在C7以上,烯烃之间存在一定的交互作用,单体烯烃的催化裂化反应规律可以初步预测汽油中烯烃的转化。催化剂上的结焦类型对汽油中的烯烃的转化方式没有影响。     

Ethylene Oligomerization Catalyzed by MCl2(PPh3)2 Complex‐es/Ethylaluminoxane

The catalytic properties of MCl₂ (PPh₃)₂ (M = Fe, A; Co, B; Ni, C) in combination with ethylaluminoxane (EAO) as cocatalyst for ethylene oligomerization have been investigated. Treatment of the MCl₂ (PPh₃)₂ complexes with EAO in toluene generated active catalysts in situ that are capable of oligomerizating ethylene to low‐carbon olefins. The catalytic activity and product distribution were affected by reaction condition, such as reaction temperature, the ratios of Al/M and the reaction time. The activity of 1.70 × 10⁵ g oligomers/ (mol Co. h) for the catalytic system of CoCl₂(PPh₃)₂ with EAO at 200°C was observed, with the selectivity of 91.1% to C_4–10 olefins and 70.7% to C_4–10 linear α‐olefins.     

Distinctive Characteristics of Carbon Tetrachloride Addition to Olefins in the Presence of Copper Complexes with Donor Ligands

The interaction between CCl₄and olefins with different structures is studied in the presence of copper complexes with P-, S-, and N-containing donor ligands. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies show that the ability of olefins to be coordinated to copper complexes governs the rate, the product composition, and the reaction mechanism. Depending on the olefin and the structure of the metal complex, either typical radical-chain reactions or processes without free radicals are observed.     

Promoting Syngas to Olefins with Isolated Internal Silanols-Enriched Al-IDM-1 Aluminosilicate Nanosheets

Selective conversion of syngas to value-added olefins has attracted considerable research interest. Regulating product distribution remains challenging, such as achieving higher olefin selectivity, propylene/ethylene (P/E) and olefin/paraffin (O/P) ratios. A new pentasil zeolite Al-IDM-1 with recently approved − ION structure, composed of 17-membered-ring (MR) extra-large lobed pores and intersected 10-MR medium pores, shows a C_2–6⁼ selectivity up to 85 % and a high O/P value of 14 in the conversion of syngas when being combined with Zn_aAl_bO_x oxide. Moreover, for the high-silica Al-IDM-1 with Si/Al ratio of 400, the selectivity of propylene and butene accounts for 88 % in C_2–4⁼, resulting in high P/E (>4) and butene/ethylene (B/E >3) ratios. The high C_3–4⁼ selectivity is contributed by two main reasons, that is, the relatively weak acidity of Al-IDM-1 zeolite enhances the olefin-based cycle revealed by the probe reactions of methanol-to-propylene (MTP) and 1-hexene cracking, and the rich isolated internal SiOH groups in Al-IDM-1 promote the desorption of C_3–4⁼, once they are formed inside zeolite pores.     

Temperature programmed decomposition of polypropylene: in situ FTIR coupled with mass spectroscopy study

The temperature-programmed reaction (TPR) technique coupled with the in situ infrared (IR)/mass spectroscopy (MS) analysis has been employed to study the thermal decomposition of polypropylene. These techniques, especially when coupled with a gas chromatograph (GC), are effective for determining thermal stability, product distribution and product evolution as a function of temperature. The polymer decomposes at approximately 475 K yielding hydrocarbons in the C₁–C₇ range, with propylene, C₅ and C₆ composing the majority of gaseous products. Decomposition over alumina and 5 wt% Ni/Al₂O₃ with and without the presence of hydrogen does not affect thermal stability. Also, decomposition over alumina with and without the presence of hydrogen does not affect the depolymerization pathway. The popular β-scission/backbiting mechanism cannot fully explain observations from this study. Possible alternatives are explored.     

Ethylene Oligomerization Catalyzed by Nickel（Ⅱ） Diimine Complexes

Ethylene oligomerization has been investigated by using catalyst systems composed of nickel(II) diimine complexes (diimine = N, N′‐o‐phenylene bis (salicylideneaminato), N, N′‐o‐phenylenebisbenzal, N, N′‐ethylenebisbenzal) and ethylaluminoxane (EAO). The main products in toluene and at 110–200 °C were olefins with low carbon numbers (C₄—C₁₀). Effects of reaction temperature, Al/Ni molar ratio and reaction period on both the catalytic activity and product distribution were explored. The activity of 1.84 × 10⁵ g of oligomer/(mol_NI · h), with 87.4% of selectivity to C₄—C₁₀ olefins, was attained at 200 °C in the reaction when a catalyst composed of NiCl₂ (PhCH = o‐NC₆H₄N = CHPh) and EAO was used.     

Density functional study of the complete pathway for the Heck reaction with palladium diphosphines

The reaction mechanism for the complete catalytic cycle of the Heck reaction (between phenyl bromide, C₆H₅Br, and ethylene, C₂H₄, in the presence of the base, NEt₃ to form the product styrene, C₆H₅–C₂H₃), catalyzed by diphosphinopalladium complexes, Pd(PR₃)₂ {R = H, Me, Ph}, was investigated by using density functional theory (DFT). The relative free energies of the fully-optimized species in gas phase at 298.15 K and 1 atm were corrected for solvation in DMSO at 1 mol/L by using conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM). The calculations indicate a four-step mechanism for the catalysis, including oxidative addition of C₆H₅Br, migratory insertion of C₆H₅ to C₂H₄, β-hydride transfer/olefin elimination of product, and catalyst regeneration by removal of HBr. Our calculations demonstrate that Pd π-complexes can be formed with phenyl bromide and ethylene before the oxidative addition occurs. Subsequently, various reaction paths were studied for the oxidative addition of phenyl bromide to palladium complexes, coordinated by phosphine(s) and/or ethylene. Interestingly, all pathways lead to palladium monophosphine as the active catalyst. Careful exploration was made on two possible pathways for the migratory insertion and β-hydride-transfer/olefin elimination: (1) the neutral path with bromide bound to Pd and (2) the cationic path with prior bromide ion dissociation. The neutral path is preferred to the cationic path, especially when the more bulky phosphines such as triphenylphosphine are involved.     

Ligandbewegungen in űbergangsmetallkomplexen XI 1H-NMR-spektroskopische untersuchungen an acetylacetonat-bis(olefin)-rhodium(I)-komplexen

The temperature-dependent ¹H NMR spectra of acetylacetonatebis(ethylene)-rhodium, (acac)Rh(C₂H₄)₂ (I), of some related complexes containing methoxy-substituted ethylenes have been measured in toluene-d₈ solution. Both monosubstituted [(acac)Rh(C₂H₄)(olefin), olefin = tetramethoxyethylene (II), $\text{cis}$- and $\text{trans}$-dimethoxyethylene (III and IV)] and disubstituted [(acac)Rh(olefin)₂, olefin = $\text{cis}$- and $\text{trans}$-dimethoxyethylene (V and VI), methyl vinyl ether (VII)] derivatives of I have been investigated with respect to hindered intramolecular movements of the ligands. The barriers of olefin rotation increase with an increasing number of methoxy substituents. When the olefin rotation is frozen out; the methoxy substituents of the olefins tend to be turned away from the acetylacetonate ligand unless steric interaction occurs between the two π-coordinated olefins. A hindered movement of the acetylacetonate ligand has been observed in II and V. For this movement which is independent of the olefin rotation, a degenerate rearrangement is proposed of the tetragonal-planar complexes via a tetrahedral transition state.     

Transition metal-catalyzed olefin arylation via C–H bond activation of arenes

In this article, two kinds of our transition metal-catalyzed olefin arylations are summarized and discussed. The first one is Ir-catalyzed novel anti-Markovnikov hydroarylation of olefins with benzene. Using this reaction catalyzed by [Ir(μ-acac-O,O′,C₃)(acac-O,O′)(acac-C₃)]₂ (acac = acetylacetonato), 1, straight-chain alkylarenes, which were not obtainable by the conventional Friedel-Crafts aromatic alkylation with olefins, were able to be successfully synthesized directly from arenes and olefins with the higher selectivity than that of branched alkylarenes. This is the first efficient catalyst which shows the desirable high regioselectivity. The reaction of benzene with propylene gave n-propylbenzene and cumene in 61% and 39% selectivities, respectively, and the reaction of benzene and styrene afforded 1,2-diphenylethane in 98% selectivity. The reaction of alkylarene and olefin showed meta and para orientations. A wide range of olefins and arenes can be employed for the synthesis of alkylarenes. The mechanism of the reaction involves C–H bond activation of benzene by Ir center to form Ir–phenyl species. The second reaction is Rh-catalyzed oxidative arylation of ethylene with benzene to directly produce styrene, namely one-step synthesis of styrene. The reaction of benzene with ethylene catalyzed by Rh(ppy)₂(OAc) (ppyH = 2-phenylpyridine, OAc = acetate), 3 with Cu oxidizing agent gave styrene and vinyl acetate in 77% and 23% selectivities, respectively, in contrast to those by Pd(OAc)₂, 47% of styrene and 53% of vinyl acetate. The mechanism of the reaction involves Rh-mediated C–H bond activation of benzene, which appears to be a rate-determining step. Furthermore, Rh complexes in a Rh(I) oxidation state at the beginning of the reaction work as catalysts for the reaction by addition of acacH and O₂ without any oxidizing agent, like Cu salt.
