氮化钽团簇阴离子Ta3N3-解离吸附N2中的15N/14N同位素交换研究

氮气分子的吸附和活化是固氮研究中的重要过程. 近年来过渡金属氮化物由于在合成氨催化研究中的优异表现而受到广泛关注. 但是,氮化物物种与氮气分子在高温下反应的微观机制仍然不清楚,而该过程对于认识反应中的温度效应以及缩小气相团簇体系和凝聚相体系间的差距具有重要意义. 本文使用质谱观测到氮化钽团簇阴离子Ta₃¹⁴N₃^-和¹⁵N₂在高温下(393∽593 K)发生¹⁵N/¹⁴N同位素交换而产生¹⁴N₂/¹⁵N¹⁴N. 结合理论计算,阐述了同位素交换反应的微观机理以及升高温度对于N₂在Ta₃N₃^-上解离吸附的促进作用. 而在对比实验体系Ta₃¹⁴N₄^-/¹⁵N₂中,观察到升高温度只能加速¹⁵N₂在吸附产物Ta₃¹⁴N₄¹⁵N₂^-上的脱附. 这是由于氮空位是氮化物物种活化氮气的必要条件,而Ta₃N₄^-中由于不存在氮空位因此不能活化和解离氮气. 该研究为合成氨中氮化物物种中氮空位的作用提供了重要信息并且为固氮研究中高效催化剂的设计提供了线索.

Reaction mechanism of elemental mercury oxidation to HgSO4 during SO2/SO3 conversion over V2O5/TiO2 catalyst

Experiments and density functional theory calculations were conducted to uncover the reaction chemistry of Hg⁰ oxidation during SO₂/SO₃ conversion over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. The results show that SO₂ promotes Hg⁰ oxidation over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst with the assistance of oxygen. The promotional effect is dependent on the reaction temperature, and is associated with the bimolecular reaction between Hg⁰ and SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. SO₂ can be oxidized to SO₃ which has high oxidation ability for Hg⁰ oxidation. SO₂/SO₃ conversion proceeds through a three-step reaction process in the sequence of SO₂ adsorption → SO₂ oxidation → SO₃ desorption. SO₂ oxidation presents an activation energy barrier of 223.84 kJ/mol. HgSO₄ species is formed from the bimolecular reaction between Hg⁰ and SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. Hg⁰ oxidation by SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst occurs through three reaction pathways, which are energetically favorable for HgSO₄ formation. SO₂* → SO₃* is identified as the rate-determining step of HgSO₄ formation. During Hg⁰ oxidation by SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst, HgSO₄ desorption is a highly endothermic reaction process and requires a higher external energy. The proposed skeletal reaction network can be used to well understand the reaction mechanism of Hg⁰ oxidation during SO₂/SO₃ conversion over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst.     

Intensification of biodiesel production from soybean oil and waste cooking oil in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst using high speed homogenizer

In the present work, high speed homogenizer has been used for the intensification of biodiesel synthesis from soybean oil and waste cooking oil (WCO) used as a sustainable feedstock. High acid value waste cooking oil (27 mg of KOH/g of oil) was first esterified with methanol using sulphuric acid as catalyst in two stages to bring the acid value to desired value of 1.5 mg of KOH/g of oil. Transesterification of soybean oil (directly due to lower acid value) and esterified waste cooking oil was performed in the presence of heterogeneous catalyst (CaO) for the production of biodiesel. Various experiments were performed for understanding the effect of operating parameters viz. molar ratio, catalyst loading, reaction temperature and speed of rotation of the homogenizer. For soybean oil, the maximum biodiesel yield as 84% was obtained with catalyst loading of 3 wt% and molar ratio of oil to methanol of 1:10 at 50 °C with 12,000 rpm as the speed of rotation in 30 min. Similarly biodiesel yield of 88% was obtained from waste cooking oil under identical operating conditions except for the catalyst loading which was 1 wt%. Significant increase in the rate of biodiesel production with yields from soybean oil as 84% (in 30 min) and from WCO as 88% (30 min) was established due to the use of high speed homogenizer as compared to the conventional stirring method (requiring 2–3 h for obtaining similar biodiesel yield). The observed intensification was attributed to the turbulence caused at microscale and generation of fine emulsions due to the cavitational effects. Overall it can be concluded from this study that high speed homogenizer can be used as an alternate cavitating device to efficiently produce biodiesel in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts.     

Diffusion and solubility of SO2-4 in NaCl and KCl single crystals

We describe a new and very accurate method for measuring as a function of temperature the solubility of very slightly soluble salts (≈ 10^-5) in single crystals. The method is applied to the systems NaCl, Na₂SO₄ and KCl, K₂SO₄ and to the preparation of SO^2-₄ doped KCl single crystals. The parameters for diffusion of SO^2-₄ at infinite dilution into NaCl and KCl have been measured in the intrinsic range.     

Rapid esterification of fatty acid using dicationic acidic ionic liquid catalyst via ultrasonic-assisted method

Biodiesel production via esterification/transesterification reactions can be catalyzed by homogenous or heterogeneous catalysts. Development of heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production is highly advantageous due to the ease of product purification and of catalyst recyclability. In this current work, a novel acidic [DABCODBS][CF₃SO₃]₂ dicationic ionic liquid (DIL) was used as heterogeneous catalyst to produce biodiesel using oleic acid as model oil. The esterification was conducted under ultrasonic irradiation (20 kHz) using a 14 mm ultrasonic horn transducer operated at various duty cycles. It was observed that the duty cycle, amplitude, methanol to oil molar ratio, catalyst amount and reaction temperature were the major factors that greatly impact the necessary reaction time to lead to a high yield of biodiesel. The reaction conditions were optimized with the aid of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) designed according to the Quadratic model of the Box Behnken method. The optimum conditions were found to be at catalyst amount of 0.64 mol%, methanol to oil ratio of 14.3:1, temperature of 59 °C, reaction time of 83 min and amplitude of 60% in continuous mode. The results showed that the oleic acid was successfully converted into esters with conversion value of 93.20% together with significant reduction of reaction time from 7 h (using mechanical stirring) to 83 min (using ultrasonication). The results also showed that the acidic DIL catalyst we designed purposely was efficient to catalyze the ultrasonic-assisted esterification yielding high conversion of oleic acid to methyl oleate on short times. The DIL was also recycled and reused for at least five times without significant reduction in performance. Overall, the procedure offers advantages including short reaction time, good yield, operational simplicity and environmentally benign characteristics.

Sulfate Reduction in a Forested Catchment as Indicated by δ34S Values of Sulfate in Soil Solutions and Runoff

Abstract

In a forested catchment in the Fichtelgebirge mountains (NE-Bavaria, Germany) the long term SO₄ ^2- budget (average 1988–1994) indicated that about 40% of the input with throughfall (16.8 kg SO₄ ^2- S·ha^?1·yr^?1) was retained in the catchment. In order to identify processes acting as potential SO₄ ^2- sinks, δ³⁴S values of SO₄ ^2- in soil solutions and runoff were measured between May and November 1994. δ³⁴S values of the runoff and the fen were higher (5.8‰) than the δ³⁴S values of the soil solution of the oxic soils in the terrestrial area (3.9‰). Because there is no lithogenic S source within the catchment, it can be assumed that SO₄ ^2- deposition is the only S source in the catchment. Thus the results were interpreted as a result of SO₄ ^2- reduction within the catchment, because the uptake of ³²S is favoured during the dissimilatory SO₄ ^2- reduction and ³⁴S is consequently enriched in the soil solution. To estimate the amount of SO₄ ^2- reduced isotopic fractionation factors between ? 9‰ and ?46‰ were considered, resulting in SO₄ ^2- reduction rates of 1.8–9.3 kg SO₄ ²-S·ha^?1yr^?1. It was concluded that besides dissimilatory SO₄ ^2- reduction another sink exists in the catchment (e.g. SO₄ ^2- sorption in deep soil layers).
