SBA-15负载高分散纳米NiO的丙烷氧化脱氢制丙烯催化性能

采用浸渍法通过改变焙烧气氛制备了系列NiO/SBA-15 (w_NiO=20%)催化剂, 并考察了催化剂的丙烷氧化脱氢(ODHP)反应性能. 实验结果表明, 与在静止和流动空气中焙烧的催化剂相比, 在1%NO/He (V_NO/V_He=1:99)气氛中焙烧的NiO/SBA-15-NO具有优异的低温丙烷氧化脱氢制丙烯性能, 在350 ℃时, 丙烷的转化率和丙烯收率分别约达29%和13%. 反应温度升至450 ℃时, 丙烯的选择性仍保持在45%左右. X射线粉末衍射(XRD)和透射电镜(TEM)测试结果表明, 1%NO/He气氛可有效抑制焙烧过程中NiO纳米颗粒的团聚, 使NiO物种高分散于SBA-15 的孔道中. H₂-程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)和O₂-程序升温脱附(O₂-TPD)测试结果表明, 随着NiO在SBA-15上分散度的提高, 催化剂的抗还原性增强, ODHP活性氧物种O-的含量增加, 进而使1%NO/He气氛中焙烧的NiO/SBA-15-NO在较宽的温度范围内(350-450 ℃)均具有良好的丙烯选择性, 并显著提高了催化剂的低温活性.     

Isopropylation of naphthalene over modified-mordenite zeolites

Isopropylation of naphthalene with propylene was carried out over Ce-, Si-, La-, and Mg-modified mordenite zeolites. The reaction was performed in a 500 mL batch reactor at 300°C, 8 kg/cm², and naphthalene to catalyst weight ratio of 10:1, with excess propylene. It was attempted to eliminate the external acid sites of zeolites by these modifications. The results indicate that the CVD silanation and magnesium or cerium modification with Mg/Al or Ce/Al atomic ratios less than 0.5 can improve the 2,6-DIPN selectivity of mordenites. The improvement of catalyst performance is ascribed to the selective deactivation of acid sites on the external surface of HM zeolites.

对商用HZSM-5分子筛进行高温热处理,利用X射线衍射(XRD)、核磁共振波谱法(²⁷Al-MAS NMR)低温氮吸附、电感耦和等离子体放射光谱(ICP-AES)、氨-程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)和吡啶吸附傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱等技术对高温热处理改性前后样品进行了表征,并考察了高温热处理对分子筛的结构、酸性及催化乙醇脱水制乙烯反应性能的影响。结果表明,热处理改性后的HZSM-5分子筛发生骨架脱铝,B酸减少,L酸增多,孔容增大,出现新的介孔;适中的酸性位和复合型的介-微双孔道结构使其减少了反应中的副反应,乙烯的选择性得到提高,催化剂寿命显著提高。     

Iron-catalyzed propylene epoxidation by nitrous oxide: studies on the effects of alkali metal salts

SBA-15-supported iron catalysts with and without alkali metal salt modifications were studied for propylene oxidation by nitrous oxide. The reaction route could be dramatically changed from allylic oxidation to epoxidation by modification of the FeOx/SBA-15 catalyst with alkali metal salts. The KCl-1 wt % FeOx/SBA-15 (K/Fe = 5) catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performances for propylene epoxidation, over which ca. 50% propylene oxide selectivity could be gained at a 10% propylene conversion at 648 K. Characterizations with diffuse reflectance UV-Vis, XANES, and Raman spectroscopic techniques revealed that the modification with KCl increased the dispersion of the iron species and changed the local coordination of iron into a tetrahedral configuration on the inner surface of SBA-15. This tetrahedrally coordinated iron site, which was probably stabilized by potassium ions, was proposed to account for the epoxidation of propylene by nitrous oxide. At the same time, the reactivity of lattice oxygen was inhibited, and the acidity of the FeOx/SBA-15 was eliminated. These changes should also contribute to the increase in the selectivity to propylene oxide. The counteranions in the alkali metal salts exerted a significant influence on the catalytic behaviors probably via an electronic effect.     

稀释蒸汽中Na+及积炭对甲醇制丙烯催化剂性能影响

考察了稀释蒸汽中Na⁺及积炭对甲醇制丙烯(MTP)催化剂物理化学性质和催化性能影响, 及离子交换后催化性能. 采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线荧光(XRF)光谱、N₂吸附-脱附、程序升温氨脱附(NH3-TPD)和热重(TG)分析等方法对失活和再生催化剂进行了表征, 并在101325 Pa、470℃ 和甲醇空速(WHSV)为1.0-3.0 h^-1的反应条件下, 采用连续流动固定床微型反应器考察其催化甲醇制丙烯性能. 结果表明: MTP反应970 h后的催化剂晶体结构和形貌没有受到明显破坏, 但稀释蒸汽中Na⁺极易扩散至催化剂表面,部分取代H质子的位置, 从而使催化剂酸性逐渐下降而中毒失活; 另外, MTP催化剂表面的积炭导致分子筛微孔堵塞是造成其失活的主要原因, 可通过烧炭再生过程消除, 而水蒸汽脱铝对催化剂性能的影响缓慢但更严重. 用再生和离子交换处理后, Na⁺中毒催化剂MTP反应性能基本完全恢复. 在470 h反应过程中, 甲醇转化率保持在99%以上, 丙烯选择性大于46%, 且随着反应时间的延长, 丙烯选择性逐渐升高、乙烯选择性逐渐下降.     

nV-MCM-41 催化剂的制备及其催化 CO2氧化丙烷脱氢反应性能

丙烯是一种重要的化工原料, 其下游产品丰富, 用途广泛, 主要用于生产聚丙烯、丙烯腈、丙烯酸和丁醇等化工产品.丙烯的需求正在不断增长, 而传统的丙烯生产方法如蒸汽裂解和石油催化裂化, 存在反应温度高、积碳严重且丙烯收率较低等问题. 因此研制丙烷脱氢制取丙烯的高效催化剂尤为重要. 研究发现, 以 CO2作为温和氧化剂进行逆水气变换反应可有效促进丙烷脱氢. 催化剂主要由活性组分与载体构成, 本文选择可用于活化丙烷的钒作为主要活性组分. 钒氧化物在载体上的高度分散是提高丙烷脱氢反应活性的关键. MCM-41 拥有较大的比表面积和高度有序的介孔结构, 可更有效地分散活性位点. 本文采用一步法合成了不同钒含量的 nV-MCM-41 催化剂 (1.9-10.6 wt%), 并研究了其在以下条件下催化丙烷氧化脱氢制丙烯反应性能: 600 °C, 催化剂质量 0.2 g, 进料气体组成 C3H8/CO2/Ar (摩尔比) = 1/4/4, 进料气体总流量 15 mL/min. 其中 6.8V-MCM-41 催化剂具有最高的活性, 其初始丙烷转化率达 58%, 丙烯选择性达 92%, 远高于相似反应条件下早期研究的 nV-SBA-15 催化剂. 并在四次反应-再生循环中始终保持其原来的高反应活性. 本文借助于 N2吸附-脱附、拉曼光谱 (Raman)、X 射线光电子能谱 (XPS)和热重 (TG) 等手段探究了不同钒含量的 nV-MCM-41 催化剂在丙烷脱氢反应中催化性能差异的原因.氮气吸附-脱附结果表明, 所有催化剂都存在典型的高度有序的介孔结构, 并没有因为钒组分的掺杂而破坏. nV-MCM-41催化剂拥有较大比表面积,并随钒掺杂量的增加而减小. 其中,10.8V-MCM-41催化剂的比表面积急剧下降,可能是由于产生了结晶的 V2O5阻塞了孔道. Raman 结果表明, 当钒负载量超过 6.8 wt% 时, 出现了 V2O5的结晶峰. 另外根据单分散的四面体钒氧化物的特征峰面积发现, 6.8V-MCM-41 催化剂中钒物种分散度最高, 与其具有最高催化活性结果一致. XPS 结果也进一步证明 6.8V-MCM-41 钒物种的分散度最高. 在连续反应过程中 6.8V-MCM-41 催化剂失活较快,可归结于活性钒位点的还原与催化剂表面的积碳. 通过氧化再生, 可恢复催化剂活性, 并且在 4 次再生循环中始终保持其良好稳定的活性.     

不同B,Al分布对ZSM-5分子筛的甲醇制丙烯反应性能的影响

本文设计了两个系列的硼改性ZSM-5分子筛:一步法合成的B-Al-ZSM-5系列分子筛和两步法合成的Al-ZSM-5@BZSM-5核壳分子筛。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、扫描透射电子显微镜面扫(STEM mapping)、N——2物理吸附脱附、氨气程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)、1,3,5-三异丙基苯(TIPB)裂解等表征发现,两个系列的样品中B1-Al-ZSM-5和Al@B1-ZSM-5,B2-Al-ZSM-5和Al@B2-ZSM-5以及B3-Al-ZSM-5和Al@B3-ZSM-5分别具有相似的织构性质、强弱酸量、酸强度和比例,以及不同的B、Al元素分布和酸分布。我们用这两个系列样品对比研究不同的强弱酸分布-强弱酸均匀分布和梯度分布对甲醇制丙烯(MTP)反应性能的影响。通过研究发现,强弱酸均匀分布的样品具有更高的丙烯选择性,归因于更低的整体强弱酸密度;而强弱酸梯度分布的样品具有更长的MTP反应寿命,归因于外表面上更低的强酸密度和更高的弱酸密度。     

π-Interactions between Cyclic Carbocations and Aromatics Cause Zeolite Deactivation in Methanol-to-Hydrocarbon Conversion

The understanding of catalyst deactivation represents one of the major challenges for the methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction over acidic zeolites. Here we report the critical role of intermolecular π-interactions in catalyst deactivation in the MTH reaction on zeolites H-SSZ-13 and H-ZSM-5. π-interaction-induced spatial proximities between cyclopentenyl cations and aromatics in the confined channels and/or cages of zeolites are revealed by two-dimensional solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The formation of naphtalene as a precursor to coke species is favored due to the reaction of aromatics with the nearby cyclopentenyl cations and correlates with both acid density and zeolite topology.     

磷酸修饰MCM-49分子筛的结构、酸性及苯与丙烯液相烷基化反应催化性能

NH3-TPD和FTIR表征结果说明, 磷酸修饰处理使MCM-49分子筛的BrΦnsted酸和Lewis酸的酸量降低, 强酸中心酸量略有降低. 27Al MAS-NMR结果表明磷酸修饰使MCM-49分子筛骨架部分脱铝, 脱除的铝与磷酸作用生成了磷铝酸盐. 在实验条件下, MCM-49分子筛的丙烯转化率为99.6%, 异丙苯选择性为75.3%. 磷酸修饰处理提高了苯与丙烯液相烷基化反应产物中异丙苯的选择性. 磷负载质量分数为2.0%的MCM-49的丙烯转化率和烷基化产物的总选择性(包括异丙苯、二异丙苯和三异丙苯 )与MCM-49相当, 而异丙苯的选择性提高了7.2%.     

Deactivation of Molybdenum-Containing Zeolites in the Course of Nonoxidative Methane Conversion

It was found that the nonoxidative dehydroaromatization of methane occurs over Mo-containing pentasil-type zeolites with various framework compositions at 750°C. This reaction is accompanied by catalyst deactivation because of coke formation. The effects of the space velocity of methane and the composition of the zeolite matrix on the amount and properties of the resulting condensation products were studied. It was found that the lowest amount of coke with a relatively low degree of polycondensation was formed on zeolite with SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 40 containing Mo nanoparticles.     

π‐Interactions between Cyclic Carbocations and Aromatics Cause Zeolite Deactivation in Methanol‐to‐Hydrocarbon Conversion

The understanding of catalyst deactivation represents one of the major challenges for the methanol‐to‐hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction over acidic zeolites. Here we report the critical role of intermolecular π‐interactions in catalyst deactivation in the MTH reaction on zeolites H‐SSZ‐13 and H‐ZSM‐5. π‐interaction‐induced spatial proximities between cyclopentenyl cations and aromatics in the confined channels and/or cages of zeolites are revealed by two‐dimensional solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. The formation of naphtalene as a precursor to coke species is favored due to the reaction of aromatics with the nearby cyclopentenyl cations and correlates with both acid density and zeolite topology.     

Surface Chemistry and Catalytic Reactivity of Borocarbonitride in Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane

Borocarbonitride (BCN) materials are newly developed oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts that can efficiently convert alkanes to alkenes. However, BCN materials tend to form bulky B₂O₃ due to over-oxidation at the high reaction temperature, resulting in significant deactivation. Here, we report a series of super stable BCN nanosheets for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) reaction. The catalytic performance of the BCN nanosheets can be easily regulated by changing the guanine dosage. The control experiment and structural characterization indicate that the introduction of a suitable amount of carbon could prevent the formation of excessive B₂O₃ from BCN materials and maintain the 2D skeleton at a high temperature of 520 °C. The best-performing catalyst BCN exhibits 81.9 % selectivity towards olefins with a stable propane conversion of 35.8 %, and the propene productivity reaches 16.2 mmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹, which is much better than hexagonal BN (h-BN) catalysts. Density functional theory calculation results show that the presence of dispersed rather than aggregated carbon atoms can significantly affect the electronic microenvironment of h-BN, thereby boosting the catalytic activity of BCN.

多级孔Fe-HBeta分子筛的合成及其催化性能探究

采用软模板法一步合成了一系列铁同晶取代的多级孔Beta分子筛(nFe-HBeta,n=Fe/Al),并通过等体积浸渍法制备出系列Ni基催化剂(10Ni/nFe-HBeta)。结果表明,系列nFe-HBeta均为结晶度高、孔道结构丰富的片状结构。异质铁原子的引入在降低介孔相有序度的同时,促使沸石颗粒粒径下降,中强酸性位点数量显著减少。对于10Ni/nFe-HBeta催化剂而言,骨架铁与NiO之间存在协同作用,可增强活性组分Ni与载体间的作用力,提高活性金属Ni的分散度,降低NiO颗粒粒径。在乙醇水蒸气重整催化反应中,铁元素的引入可规避酸性位以抑制乙醇脱水反应,同时加强CO和CH_4的水蒸气重整反应,有效提高H_2选择性。其中,10Ni/0.15Fe-HBeta催化剂在500℃时,H_2选择性高达72.15%,C_2H_5OH转化率为99.6%,反应12 h后的积炭量仅为4.3%。     

Nonoxidative conversion of methane into aromatic hydrocarbons on Ni-Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts

The nonoxidative conversion of methane into aromatic hydrocarbons on high-silica zeolites ZSM-5 containing nanosized powders of molybdenum (4.0 wt %) and nickel (0.1–2.0 wt %) was studied. Data on the acid characteristics of the catalysts and the nature and amount of coke deposits formed on the surface of the catalysts were obtained using the thermal desorption of ammonia and thermal analysis. The microstructure and composition of Ni-Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The formation of various chemical species in the samples was detected: oxide-like clusters of Mo within zeolite channels (∼1 nm), molybdenum carbide particles (5–30 nm) on the outer surface of the zeolite, and Ni-Mo alloy particles with different compositions (under reaction conditions, carbon filaments grew on these particles). It was found that, as the Ni content was increased from 0.1 to 2.0 wt %, the rate of deactivation of the catalytic system increased because of blocking pores in the zeolite structure by filamentous carbon up to the formation of condensed coke deposits.

研究了甲醇制丙烯(MTP)催化剂经过多周期反应后失活的本质原因,据此提出了一种简便易行的催化剂再生方法,即二次晶化法,并将其应用到失活MTP催化剂的再生中。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线荧光光谱(XRF)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、N₂吸附、²⁷Al魔角旋转固体核磁共振(²⁷Al MAS NMR)、NH₃程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)、吡啶吸附红外(Py-IR)光谱等测试技术对再生前后HZSM-5分子筛催化剂的晶体结构、硅铝比、织构性质、酸性质等进行了表征。并在常压(甲醇分压为30 kPa)、反应温度为470 ℃、甲醇质量空速(WHSV)为1 h^-1的条件下,研究了再生前后HZSM-5分子筛催化剂的催化性能。结果表明,分子筛晶体结构被破坏、活性位流失是多周期反应后HZSM-5分子筛催化剂活性下降的主要原因。经过二次晶化再生后,催化剂的相对结晶度、比表面积、孔容和酸量都明显提高,晶体结构和活性位得到了有效修复,再生催化剂在MTP反应中重新表现出优异的甲醇转化能力和丙烯选择性。     

Differences in Reactivity of Epoxides in the Copolymerisation with Carbon Dioxide by Zinc-Based Catalysts: Propylene Oxide versus Cyclohexene Oxide

The homogeneous dinuclear zinc catalyst going back to the work of Williams et al. is to date the most active catalyst for the copolymerisation of cyclohexene oxide and CO₂ at one atmosphere of carbon dioxide. However, this catalyst shows no copolymer formation in the copolymerisation reaction of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide, instead only cyclic carbonate is found. This behaviour is known for many zinc‐based catalysts, although the reasons are still unidentified. Within our studies, we focus on the parameters that are responsible for this typical behaviour. A deactivation of the catalyst due to a reaction with propylene oxide turns out to be negligible. Furthermore, the catalyst still shows poly(cyclohexene carbonate) formation in the presence of cyclic propylene carbonate, but the catalyst activity is dramatically reduced. In terpolymerisation reactions of CO₂ with different ratios of cyclohexene oxide to propylene oxide, no incorporation of propylene oxide can be detected, which can only be explained by a very fast back‐biting reaction. Kinetic investigations indicate a complex reaction network, which can be manifested by theoretical investigations. DFT calculations show that the ring strains of both epoxides are comparable and the kinetic barriers for the chain propagation even favour the poly(propylene carbonate) over the poly(cyclohexene carbonate) formation. Therefore, the crucial step in the copolymerisation of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide is the back‐biting reaction in the case of the studied zinc catalyst. The depolymerisation is several orders of magnitude faster for poly(propylene carbonate) than for poly(cyclohexene carbonate).     

Cu-HZSM-5上氯苯气相羟化反应及催化剂失活
