An Effective Hybrid Heterogeneous Catalyst to Desulfurize Diesel: Peroxotungstate@Metal–Organic Framework

A peroxotungstate composite comprising the chromium terephthalate metal–organic framework MIL-101(Cr) and the Venturello peroxotungstate [PO₄{WO(O₂)₂}₄]³⁻ (PW₄) has been prepared by the impregnation method. The PW₄@MIL-101(Cr) composite presents high catalytic efficiency for oxidative desulfurization of a multicomponent model diesel containing the most refractory sulfur compounds present in real fuels (2000 ppm of total S). The catalytic performance of this heterogeneous catalyst is similar to the corresponding homogeneous PW₄ active center. Desulfurization efficiency of 99.7% was achieved after only 40 min at 70 °C using H₂O₂ as an oxidant and an ionic liquid as an extraction solvent ([BMIM]PF₆, 2:1 model diesel/[BMIM]PF₆). High recycling and reusing capacity was also found for PW₄@MIL-101(Cr), maintaining its activity for consecutive oxidative desulfurization cycles. A comparison of the catalytic performance of this peroxotungstate composite with others previously reported tungstate@MIL-101(Cr) catalysts indicates that the presence of active oxygen atoms from the peroxo groups promotes a higher oxidative catalytic efficiency in a shorter reaction time.     

Porous MoO3@SiC hallow nanosphere composite as an efficient oxidative desulfurization catalyst

A novel N‐doped MoO ₃ @SiC hollow nanosphere has been synthesized through two steps. Due to the first step, N‐doped MoO₂@C nanosphere was synthesized using the hydrothermal method and in the second step, Si‐C bonds were formed through the low‐temperature magnesiothermic method and MoO ₃ @SiC hollow nanosphere was produced. The prepared nanostructures were identified by various techniques such as IR, XRD, XPS, BET/BJH, SEM/EDS, and Raman spectroscopy. Results show that converting of C to SiC increase the surface area from 17 to 241 m²/g with remarkably decrease in pore diameter. Also, molybdenum is present in the form of MoO₂ in carbon catalyst while during magnesiothermic process, it transfers to MoO₃ form in the SiC catalyst. The synthesized products were employed as catalysts in oxidative desulfurization of model fuel. The results displayed that MoO ₃ @SiC hollow nanostructure shows a superior catalytic activity (99.9%, 40 min) compared to C support (56%, 60 min). Furthermore, the recycling of MoO₂@C catalyst shows a dramatic decrease even after the first run, while, SiC support exhibit higher stability during the stronger interaction between molybdenum catalyst and SiC support.

Amine groups functionalized gel-type resin supported Pd catalysts: Physicochemical and catalytic properties in hydrogenation of alkynes

Palladium catalysts (0.125–0.5 wt.% Pd) supported by amine groups—functionalized gel-type resin (FCN) were studied in the hydrogenation of alkynes reagents, 2-butyne-1,4-diol and phenylacetylene. The catalysts were prepared by two routes. The first, “OAc” is based on the immobilization of Pd-precursor in the pre-swollen resin from THF solution of Pd(OAc)₂, followed by chemical reduction of the Pd-centers. This method produces Pd particles of size in nano-scale. The second procedure, “aq” implies the deposition of Pd-species on dry resin beads using aqueous solution of PdCl₂. Reduction of these Pd-species gives relatively large Pd particles, dominating are 30–50 nm in size. The SEM studies performed over the cross-section of catalysts grains showed location of Pd in outer shell of polymer beads in both “OAc” and “aq” catalysts; however, thinner layer of Pd appears in “aq” series catalysts. In the presence of all catalysts, prepared by “OAc” and “aq” methods the selectivity towards alkenes is high, above 90%. The catalysts of “aq’ series are much more active and more selective than “OAc” analogues giving selectivity to alkene ca. 94% at almost complete conversion of alkynes. Moreover, catalytic performance of “aq’ series catalyst is unchanged under recycling use. The catalyst was recovered and reused 4 times, maintaining its catalytic efficiency.

乙二胺功能化树脂负载Pd(0)配合物：可重复使用的高活性Heck芳基化催化剂

The ethylenediamine-functionalized resin-supported Pd(0)complex was prepared from PdCl_2 and ethylenedia-mine-functionalized chloromethylated polystyrene,followed by reduction with KBH_4.The complex was character-ized by FT-IR,XRD,BET,SEM and EDS.The resin-supported catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in theHeck reaction and could be reused up to 17 times in NMP or 16 times in DMF at 90 ℃ in the Heck reaction of io-dobenzene with acrylic acid.The leaching investigation disclosed that the palladium leaching was caused by the in-teraction of iodobenzene with the metal Pd(0)on supported catalyst.The leached palladium species in filtrate wasvery stable and could be reused five times after the solid catalyst was filtered off.A cross-transfer test in recyclingin the presence of additional carbon disclosed that the soluble leached palladium species had much higher catalyticactivity than supported and/or adsorbed palladium in solid-solution heterogeneous Heck reaction.     

Deep desulfurization by oxidation using an active ionic liquid‐supported Zr metal–organic framework as catalyst

In this study, a Zr metal–organic framework (UIO‐66) was synthesized with zirconium tetrachloride and terephthalic acid using the solvent method. Then various masses of 1‐methylimidazolium‐3‐propylsulfonate hydrosulfate (PSMIMHSO₄) were supported on the UIO‐66 as catalysts, which were used for catalytic oxidative desulfurization. Sulfur removal using 400 mg of 40% PSMIMHSO₄ supported on the UIO‐66 of greater than 94% was obtained at 313 K for 20 min with an O/S molar ratio of 7:1. The results obtained in this work could provide useful information for the design of water‐stable metal–organic frameworks with permanent porosity in applications of catalytic oxidative desulfurization.

Hydrogen storage and delivery: immobilization of a highly active homogeneous catalyst for the decomposition of formic acid to hydrogen and carbon dioxide

The homogeneous catalytic system, based on water-soluble ruthenium(II)–TPPTS catalyst (TPPTS = meta-trisulfonated triphenylphosphine), selectively decomposes HCOOH into H₂ and CO₂ in aqueous solution. Although this reaction results in only two gas products, heterogeneous catalysts could be advantageous for recycling, especially for dilute formic acid solutions, or for mobile, portable applications. Several approaches have been used to immobilize/solidify the homogeneous ruthenium–TPPTS catalyst based on ion exchange, coordination and physical absorption. The activity of the various heterogeneous catalysts for the decomposition of formic acid has been determined. These heterogenized catalysts offer the advantage of easy catalyst separation/recycling in dilute formic acid, or for mobile, portable applications.

Formation, physicochemical, and catalytic properties of the Mo-containing hydrotreatment catalysts on various supports. IV: The activity of the catalysts for the hydrotreatment of black oil

The activity and selectivity of the Mo-Ni catalysts prepared by the impregnation of supports (γ-Al₂O₃, hydrated titanium dioxide (HTD), and palygorskite-montmorrilonite clay (PMC)) are studied in the reactions of black oil hydrotreatment. The alumina support provides a higher catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of aromatics. The highest efficiency in desulfurization and demetalation of raw materials is achieved when hydrated titanium dioxide is used as a support. A low efficiency of the PMC-based catalyst is likely explained by the aggregation of the active component during hydrotreatment. The PMC support can be used as an additive to γ-Al₂O₃. Possible reasons for the dependence of the catalytic activity on the support are considered for various reactions.     

催化剂对CaO固硫反应活性的影响研究

用热天平研究了在CaO中添加不同催化剂对固硫反应进程及固硫反应转化率的影响,并采用等效粒子模型处理实验数据,计算了固硫反应两个阶段(表面化学反应控制阶段及产物层扩散控制阶段)的动力学参数。实验表明不同的催化剂对CaO固硫的影响效果和机制不同：催化剂KNO3,NaNO3使表面化学反应活化能和产物层扩散控制阶段反应活化能降低,但同时也使表面化学反应指前因子和扩散系数指前因子降低;而催化剂Fe2O,V2O5增大了表面化学活化能和产物层扩散控制阶段反应活化能,但同时也增大了表面化学反应指前因子和扩散系数指前因子。并发现几种催化剂对活化能和指前因子的影响都具有耦合性,因此单以表面化学反应活化能或产物层扩散控制阶段反应活化能来判断固硫反应活性是不够全面的,应计算出具体温度下的反应速率常数和产物层扩散系数值,才能准确地反映固硫反应的活性。

Hydrogen production from simulated hot coke oven gas by catalytic reforming over Ni/Mg（Al）O catalysts

Hydrogen production by catalytic reforming of simulated hot coke oven gas (HCOG) with toluene as a model tar compound was investigated in a fixed bed reactor over Ni/Mg(Al)O catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method using urea hydrolysis and characterized by ICP, BET, XRD, TPR, TEM and TG. XRD showed that the hydrotalcite type precursor after calcination formed (Ni, Mg)Al₂O₄ spinel and Ni-Mg-O solid solution structure. TPR results suggested that the increase in Ni/Mg molar ratio gave rise to the decrease in the reduction temperature of Ni²⁺ to Ni⁰ on Ni/Mg(Al)O catalysts. The reaction results indicated that toluene and CH₄ could completely be converted to H₂ and CO in the catalytic reforming of the simulated HCOG under atmospheric pressure and the amount of H₂ in the reaction effluent gas was about 4 times more than that in original HCOG. The catalysts with lower Ni/Mg molar ratio showed better catalytic activity and resistance to coking, which may become promising catalysts in the catalytic reforming of HCOG.

Asymmetric Cu-catalyzed Henry reaction using chiral camphor Schiff bases immobilized on a macromolecular chain

Immobilized catalysts have attracted chemists’ attention for long time because of convenient recycling, which is very important for some special catalyst even immobilizations accompanying the decrease of catalytic activity and selectivity. Our group focused on the developing chiral catalysts with camphor framework to catalyze various asymmetric reactions for long time. For easily recycling the unique chiral catalysts, a series of polymer catalysts with chiral camphor unit were synthesized by RAFT polymerization. Herein, the performance of the synthesized polymer chiral catalysts was reported by catalyzing asymmetric Henry reaction. After optimizing the reaction conditions, the synthesized chiral polymer catalyst provides a good yield and enantioselectivity to the reaction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde and nitromethane. In the meantime, the recycles and reused properties of synthesized polymer catalysts were examination by the model asymmetric Henry reaction. The catalyzed activities and enantioselectivities did not show obviously decrease until recycling five times.     

‘Click’ silica immobilisation of metallo-porphyrin complexes and their application in epoxidation catalysis

We present the synthesis, via Adler condensation reactions, of mono- and tetrakis-4-(ethynyl-phenyl)porphyrin ligands and the zinc and manganese complexes thereof. The formed complexes were immobilised on silica by reacting the ethynyl groups with azide-functionalised silica in a copper(I) catalysed Huisgens 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The synthesised metallo-porphyrin containing materials were thoroughly characterised using various solid-state techniques (NMR, IR, UV-Vis, elemental content analysis). The manganese containing materials were applied as catalysts in the epoxidation of various alkenes (cyclooctene, cyclohexene, styrene) with various oxidants (iodosylbenzene, tert-butylperoxide). The heterogenised homogeneous catalysts show diminished activity and yields compared to the analogous homogeneous catalysts (71% yield cf. 92% for cyclooctene epoxidation, TOF 82 h⁻¹ cf. 230 h⁻¹). Upon recycling, the heterogenised catalysts become gradually less active over five cycles until they are catalytically inactive. The deactivation process is discussed, with spectroscopy suggesting that the catalysts themselves are intact and thus stable to the reaction conditions and recycling, however there is likely some decomplexation, and also both chemical and mechanical decomposition of the silica support resulting in inaccessibility to the catalytic site.     

Controllable preparation of highly dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles for enhanced catalytic oxidation of dibenzothiophene in fuels

The aggregation of nanoparticle catalysts is one of the main problems in catalytic reactions. In this study, a series of TiO₂ nanoparticle catalysts with various dispersions were prepared and applied in the catalytic oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) systems. Compositions and structures of the as‐prepared samples were analyzed by means of wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, Raman and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The dispersions of TiO₂ nanoparticles were controlled by calcining at various temperatures and verified using transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the activities of TiO₂ nanoparticles in the catalytic oxidation of DBT were positively correlated with the dispersions. TiO₂ nanoparticles calcined at 500 °C (500‐TiO₂) showed the best catalytic activity and the oxidation of DBT reached 99.8% under mild conditions. Based on the results of GC–MS analysis, radical trapping experiments and electron spin resonance spectra, ^?O₂^? radicals were proved to be the main active species in the oxidation process, and a mechanism is proposed. Meanwhile, the recycling performance of 500‐TiO₂ was investigated, and no obvious decrease was observed after six recycles.     

Co/Cu bimetallic ZIF as New heterogeneous catalyst for reduction of nitroarenes and dyes

Nowadays one of the great challenges is to design new bimetallic catalysts with enhanced catalytic activity, selectivity and recycling properties. In this work, the preparation of new Co/Cu bimetallic Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (Co-Cu/ZIF) as an efficient catalyst for the reduction of nitro compounds and organic dyes is described. Co-Cu/ZIF was characterized with different techniques such as SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, TGA, FT-IR and UV–vis absorption indicating formation of entirely uniform cubic particles. Using this catalyst, structurally different aromatic nitro compounds were reduced efficiently to corresponding amines in excellent yields. Kinetic studies revealed that the reduction rates of nitrophenol isomers follow 3-NP > 4-NP > 2-NP order. The catalytic activity of Co-Cu/ZIF was further investigated in the reduction of organic dyes such as methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B (RhB). This catalyst was recycled for at least ten runs in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol without a noticeable decrease in activity and reused catalyst was characterized.     

Asymmetric addition of KCN and Ac2O to aldehydes catalyzed by recyclable polymeric salen-Ti(IV) complexes

Polymeric salen-Ti(IV) complexes were employed in the enantioselective O-acetyl cyanation of aldehydes with KCN and Ac₂O. The polymeric catalysts with appropriate crosslinking degree exhibited good activities and enantioselectivities, up to 94% yield and 91% ee were obtained at −20 °C with 1 mol % of catalyst (based on bimetallic catalytic unit). Moreover, the crosslinked polymeric catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for six consecutive runs without obvious decrease in activity and enantioselectivity.
