Effect of alcohol solvents treated ZrO（OH）2 hydrogel on properties of ZrO2 and its catalytic performance in isosynthesis

A series of ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by treating ZrO(OH)2 hydrogel with different alcohol solvents (C2-C4 alcohols) and calcining under N2 flow at 773 K for 3 h. The obtained ZrO2 catalysts were systematically characterized by the methods of N2 adsorption-desorption, powder X-ray diffraction, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, and CO2 temperature-programmed desorption. The catalytic performance of each catalyst was evaluated in the selective synthesis of iso-C4 (isobutene and isobutane) and light olefins (C2= ～C4= ) from CO hydrogenation. The specific surface area increased for the ZrO2 catalysts obtained by treating ZrO(OH)2 hydrogel with different alcohol solvents. The amounts of both acidic and basic sites on the catalyst surface increased obviously. The catalytic activity (CO conversion) of ZrO2 catalysts also increased after the treatment with different alcohol solvents. The highest activity was obtained over the catalyst which was pretreated with isopropanol. However, alcohol solvent treatment retarded the transformation of ZrO2 crystal structure from tetragonal phase to monoclinic phase, and subsequently resulted in the decrease of monoclinic phase in ZrO2, which led to the decrease of olefin selectivity in corresponding hydrocarbon products (C2=～C4= /CH).     

Surface Acidity／Basicity and Catalytic Reactivity of CeO2／γ—A12O3 Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane with Carbon Dioxide to Ethylene

Dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene in CO2 was investigated over CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts at 700℃ in a conventional flow reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. XRD, BET and microcalorimetric adsorption techniques were used to characterize the structure and surface acidity/basicity of the CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. The results show that the surface acidity decreased while the surface basicity increased after the addition of CeO2 to γ-Al2O3. Accordingly, the activity of the hydrogenation reaction of CO2 increased, which might be responsible for the enhanced conversion in the dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene. The highest ethane conversion obtained was about 15% for the 25?O2/γ-Al2O3. The selectivity to ethylene was high for all the CeO2, γ-Al2O3 and CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts.

Ni基催化剂上的乙烷部分氧化制合成气

There is abundant supply of light alkanes and relatively few routes of converting them to more valuable products. Although CH4 predominates in natural gas, it also contains C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10 (from 5 % to 30% ), and with C2H6 as the most abundant secondary component[1]. Partial oxidation of methane to syngas (CH4 +0.5O2 →CO + 2H2) over nickel-based catalysts has received intensive attention[2]and much research has been devoted to conversion of ethane to ethylene[3]. Ethylene has been shown to be formed from ethane by thermal dehydrogenation (C2H6 →C2H4 + H2) and oxidative dehydrogenation (C2H6 + 0. 5O2 →C2H4 + H2O). These processes are operated under severely fuel-rich conditions. The carbon-deposition and consequent deactivation of the catalysts are major problems, which leads to poor conversion of the above mentioned reactions. As an alternative strategy for the elaboration of ethane, little work on the partial oxidation of ethane (POE) to syngas over nickel-based catalysts has been reported. Provided it could be produced from C2H6with high selectivity and high conversion over nickel-based catalysts, syngas could be directly obtained from natural gas including CH4 and C2H6 with high selectivity and conversion. This may lead to better utilization of the light fractions from natural gas and refineries. In the present paper, POE to syngas over nickel-based catalysts was investigated.

EFFECTS OF K_2O AND MnO PROMOTERS ON THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT ALKENES VIA SYNGAS OVER Fe/SILICALITE-2 CATALYST I.ACTIVITY OF K-Fe-MnO/SILICALIT-2 CATALYST

The activity and the selectivity to light alkenes of silicalite-2 (Si-2) zeolite supported F'e catalyst tor CO hydrogenation can he improved obviously with the addition of K2O and MnO promoters. The results of CO hydrogenation, CO-TPD, CO/H2-TPSR, C2H4/H2-TPSR and C2H4/H2 pulse reaction over K-Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalysts clearly show that the K2O additive into Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalyst leads to a remarkable increase in both the capacity and strength of the strong CO ad-species that will produce much more |Cad| via their disproportionation at higher temperatures. This results in an increase in the CO conversion and the selectivity to light olefins, and a decrease in CH4 formation. Moreover, K2O can suppress the disproportionate of C2H4 that occurs during the reaction as a side-reaction Meanwhile, the MnO promoter mainly prohibits the hydrogenation of C2H4 and C3H6, which is favorable to enhancing the selectivity to C2H4 and C3H6 and decreasing the formation of C2H6, and C3H8. It is also of interest that MnO has har     

Non-oxidative dehydro-oligomerization of methane to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons at low temperatures

The non-oxidative dehydro-oligomerization of methane to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons such as aroma tics and C2 hydrocarbons in a low temperature range of 773-973 K with Mo/HZSM-5,Mo-Zr/HZSM-5 and Mo-W/HZSM-5 catalysts is studied.The means for enhancing the activity and stability of the Mo-containing catalysts under the reaction conditions is reported.Quite a stable methane conversion rate of over 10% with a high selectivity to the higher hydrocarbons has been obtained at a temperature of 973 K.Pure methane conversions of about 5.2% and 2.0% have been obtained at 923 and 873 K,respectively.In addition,accompanied by the C2-C3 mixture,tht- methane reaction can be initiated even at a lower temperature and the conversion rate of methane is enhanced by the presence of tne initiator of C2-C3 hydrocarbons.Compared with methane oxidative coupling to ethylene,the novel way for methane transformation is significant and reasonable for its lower reaction temperatures and high selectivity to the desired prod     

Preparation, Characterization of Hydrotalcites and the Catalytic Properties in Synthesis of o-Phenylphenol over Pt／CHT

Mg/Al mixed oxides with molar ratios of 2-6 of Mg to Al used as supports for platinum catalysts were obtained by the thermal decomposition method. The effect of the composition of the mixed oxides on the physicochemical properties was studied by TPD, nitrogen sorption, XRD and TG-DTA characterization methods. The synthesis of o-phenylphenol (OPP) from a dimer (obtained from cyclohexanone condensation) was investigated over Pt/CHT catalysts and compared with those over Pt/MgO and Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. These catalysts show a high activity and selectivity for OPP, with a conversion reaching 93.8% and a selectivity reaching 87.9% in some experiments. For Pt/CHTx catalysts, the calcined hydrotalcites exhibited strong base sites, which were necessary to catalyze the synthesis of OPP.     

Activity and Selectivity in CO Hydrogenation with Silica-supported Ru-Co Bimetallic Cluster-derived Catalysts

The catalytic performance of bimetallic Ru-Co catalysts prepared from a series of H3Ru3Co(CO)12. RuCo2(CO)11 and HRuCo3(CO)12 in CO hydrogenation was investigated, and it was found that the Ru-Co bimetallic carbonyl cluster-derived catalysts showed a high activity for products, particularly higher oxygenates, compared with the catalysts prepared from impregnation or co-impregnation of monometallic clusters such as [HRu3(CO)11] and Co4(CO)12. The selectivity for oxygenates in CO hydrogenation highly increased with the molar ratio of Co/Ru in the Ru-Co bimetallic cluster to CO/H2 in feed gas. Raising reaction temperature led to an intensive increase of CO conversion and a considerable decrease of selectivity for oxygenates. In situ FT-IR studies revealed that the band at 1584 cm-1 on Ru-Co bimetallic cluster-derived catalysts at 453 K under syngas (CO/H2 = 0. 5) has a good linear relationship to rates of oxygenate formation, which is likely associated with an intermediate to produce oxygenates in CO hydro     

Effect of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) on selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over Pt/CNTs catalyst

Summary The effect of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) on the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CMA) to the corresponding semi-hydrogenated product over Pt/CNTs catalyst has been studied in ethanol at 343 K under 2.0 MPa H₂ pressure. PtNi/CNTs catalyst shows good catalytic activity and selectivity of C=C bond hydrogenation, 68.4% for conversion of CMA and 97.0% for selectivity of hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCMA). PtCo/CNTs catalyst shows good catalytic activity and selectivity of C=O bond hydrogenation, 91.3% for conversion of CMA and 88.2% for selectivity of cinnamylalcohol (CMO).     

Selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over carbon nanotube supported pd-ru catalyst

Summary Carbon nanotube supported Pd, Ru and Pd-Ru catalysts have been prepared and tested with the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde as a probe reaction. It has been found that the cinnamaldehyde conversion and the selectivity towards the hydrogenation of C=O bond over Pd-Ru/PCNT catalyst could reach 56.6% and 79.1%, respectively, at 120^oC and 5.0 MPa, which is better than Pd/PCNT and Ru/PCNT catalysts under the same reaction conditions. It is assumed that the better performance of Pd-Ru/PCNT catalyst for cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation may be due to the synergic effect of Pd and Ru metals or the promoting effect of Ru metal.     

Unique hydrogenation activity of supported tin catalyst: Selective hydrogenation catalyst for unsaturated aldehydes

Selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes, crotonaldehyde (CH₃CH=CHCH=O) and cinnamaldehyde (C₆H₅CH=CHCH=O), has been studied over SiO₂-supported monometallic Sn and bimetallic Rh---Sn catalysts in the liquid phase. Over a silica-supported monometallic Rh catalyst, Rh/SiO₂, no unsaturated alcohol (crotyl alcohol or cinnamyl alcohol) was formed, whereas considerable amounts of the corresponding saturated aldehyde and saturated alcohol were obtained. The selectivity to the unsaturated alcohol was improved over the Rh---Sn bimetallic catalyst. The selectivity to the corresponding unsaturated alcohol attained ca. 65% over the Rh---Sn bimetallic catalysts. On the other hand, The supported Sn catalyst showed markedly high selectivity to the unsaturated alcohols. The selectivity of the Sn/SiO₂, attained 95% to crotyl alcohol and 100% to cinnamyl alcohol, respectively. Although the conversion of each unsaturated aldehyde over Rh---Sn/SiO₂ catalysts was greater than that over Sn/SiO₂ catalysts, the selectivity of Sn/SiO₂ catalysts to the corresponding unsaturated alcohols was superior to that over Rh---Sn/SiO₂. The selectivity of Sn/SiO₂ was also compared with that of Rh---Sn/SiO₂ at a similar conversion of the unsaturated aldehydes. The selectivity of Sn/SiO₂ was significantly greater than that of the Rh---Sn bimetallic catalyst. These results indicate that the high selectivity over Sn/SiO₂ was ascribed not to low conversion but to intrinsic selectivity of the Sn catalyst.     

纳米金催化肉桂醛选择加氢制肉桂醇

α,β-不饱和醛/酮选择加氢生成不饱和醇是化学工业中一类重要反应,在精细化工生产中具有广泛应用,近年来吸引了研究者的广泛关注.该类反应因涉及不饱和官能团和碳氧双键的选择加氢而颇具挑战性:以肉桂醛选择加氢生成肉桂醇反应为例,肉桂醛分子中同时含有共轭的C=C双键和C=O双键,从热力学角度上看, C=O双键键能比C=C双键键能大,因而碳碳双键比碳氧双键更容易被活化从而加氢得到饱和醛;从动力学角度上看, C=C双键也比C=O双键更容易加氢.对于传统的铂族贵金属催化剂,其应用于该类反应时往往存在选择性低,容易深度加氢等问题.负载型金催化剂此前被报道在该类反应中表现出高选择性,然而在反应物接近完全转化时,目标产物也容易发生过度加氢生成饱和醇.前期的研究结果发现用锌铝水滑石作载体,硫醇稳定的金原子团簇(Au25)作为金的前驱体制备负载型金催化剂时,其在不饱和芳香硝基化合物的选择加氢反应中表现出很高的选择性.考虑到在肉桂醛分子中C=O双键的加氢相比于C=C双键更加困难,因此,本工作尝试将上述催化剂应用于以肉桂醛为代表的不饱和醛/酮选择加氢反应中.考察了反应温度、氢气压力以及溶剂效应对反应活性的影响,结果发现升高温度或提高压力都能明显提升反应速率,然而不同的溶剂对催化性能影响很大,当以具备氢转移能力的异丙醇和乙醇作为反应溶剂时,催化活性和选择性最优,在反应温度为130 ℃,氢气压力为15 atm,异丙醇为溶剂时反应5 h,肉桂醛的转化率和肉桂醇的选择性可以达到98.3%和95.4%,并且延长反应时间至15h,目标产物也不会发生过度加氢生成苯丙醇,其选择性可以维持在95%以上.为了研究该催化剂高活性和高选择性的原因,制备了不同粒径大小和不同载体负载的金催化剂,结果发现相比于其它负载型金催化剂,以锌铝水滑石负载的Au25团簇作为催化剂前体制得的催化剂在肉桂醛选择加氢制肉桂醇反应中表现出最优的活性和选择性.对照实验和原位漫反射红外光谱测试表明上述催化剂对碳碳双键的加氢表现为惰性,对目标产物的吸附也相对较弱.27Al固体核磁共振结果表明配位不饱和的五配位Alp物种可能为C=O双键的优先吸附提供所需的氧空位,这可能是该催化剂具有较高选择性的原因.综上,推测小尺寸的金颗粒具有较多低配位的金原子,可以活化氢气,而反应物和产物的吸脱附性质与载体密切相关,在以锌铝水滑石为前驱体制备的金催化剂表面, C=C双键吸附较弱, C=O双键优先吸附,产物较容易脱附,不容易发生过度加氢反应,因此该催化剂在肉桂醛选择加氢反应中表现出高活性和高选择性.上述工作可以为设计制备高选择性的负载型金催化剂提供参考.     

Hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde catalyzed by water-soluble palladium complex

The selective hydrogenations of crotonaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde in the aqueous-benzene biphasic system were investigated using water-soluble palladium complex PdCl₂(TPPTS)₂ as catalyst. The hydrogenation rate of crotonaldehyde was higher than that of cinnamaldehyde under similar reaction conditions. The palladium complex selectively catalyzed the hydrogenation of CC bond in crotonaldehyde to form butanal (100%). On the contrary, hydrogenation of both CC and CO bonds in cinnamaldehyde occurred simultaneously, with the amount of phenylpropanal only slightly higher than that of phenylpropanol. However, the reduction of CO bond of cinnamaldehyde could be inhibited by the addition of Na₂CO₃ solution. Therefore, high selectivity to form phenylpropanal (91%) could be obtained by using Na₂CO₃ solution at pH 12.2. Other factors affecting the hydrogenation conversion and selectivity of crotonaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde were also discussed.

Fe-Co Alloyed Nanoparticles Catalyzing Efficient Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde to Cinnamyl Alcohol in Water

Selective hydrogenation of C=O against the conjugated C=C in cinnamaldehyde (CAL) is indispensable to produce cinnamyl alcohol (COL). Nonetheless, it is challenged by the low selectivity and the need to use organic solvents. Herein, for the first time, we report the use of Fe-Co alloy nanoparticles (NPs) on N-doped carbon support as a selective hydrogenation catalyst to efficiently convert CAL to COL. The resultant catalyst with the optimized Fe/Co ratio of 0.5 can achieve an exceptional COL selectivity of 91.7 % at a CAL conversion of 95.1 % in pure water medium under mild reaction conditions, ranking it the best performed catalyst reported to date. The experimental results confirm that the COL selectivity and CAL conversion efficiency are, respectively promoted by the presence of Fe and Co, while the synergism of the alloyed Fe-Co is the key to concurrently achieve high COL selectivity and CAL conversion efficiency.     

Ni-Ti Intercalated and Supported Bentonite for Selective Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde

Ni-Ti intercalated bentonite catalysts (Ni-Ti-bentonite) and Ni-TiO₂ supported bentonite catalysts (Ni-TiO₂/bentonite) were prepared, and the effects of Ni-Ti supported and intercalated bentonite on the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde were investigated. Ni-Ti intercalated bentonite enhanced the Brønsted acid sites strength, decreased the acid amount and Lewis's acid sites strength, which inhibited the activation of the C=O bond and contributed to selective hydrogenation of the C=C bond. When Ni-TiO₂ was supported on bentonite, the acid amount and Lewis's acid strength of the catalyst increased, providing additional adsorption sites and increased the acetals byproducts. Due to the higher surface area, mesoporous volume, and suitable acidity, compared with Ni-TiO₂/bentonite in methanol solvent, 2 MPa, 120 °C for 1 h, Ni-Ti-bentonite exhibited a higher cinnamaldehyde (CAL) conversion of 98.8 %, as well as a higher hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCAL) selectivity of 95 %, and no acetals were found in the product.

Highly Active Supported Pt Nanocatalysts Synthesized by Alcohol Reduction towards Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde: Synergy of Metal Valence and Hydroxyl Groups

The hydrogenation of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes to allylic alcohols or saturated aldehydes provides a typical example to study the catalytic effect on structure‐sensitive reactions. In this work, supported platinum nanocatalysts over hydrotalcite were synthesized by an alcohol reduction method. The Pt catalyst prepared by the reduction with a polyol (ethylene glycol) outperforms those prepared with ethanol and methanol in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. The selectivity towards the C=O bond is the highest over the former, although its mean size of Pt particles is the smallest. The hydroxyl groups on hydrotalcite could act as an internally accessible promoter to enhance the selectivity towards the C=O bond. The optimal Pt catalyst showed a high activity with an initial turnover frequency (TOF) of 2.314 s^?1. This work unveils the synergic effect of metal valence and in situ promoter on the chemoselective hydrogenation, which could open up a new direction in designing hydrogenation catalysts.
