CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF PURE AND ADDITIVE-CONTAINING POLY (ETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE)

The isothermal crystallization of poly (ethylene terephthalate ) (PET),which is free of catalyst, stabilizer, oligomer and diethylene glycol (DEG), was studied by DSC. The crystallization behaviour of pure PET is different from commercial PET and a reasonable explanation is presented. The influences of catalyst, stabilizer, oligomer and DEG on the crystallization of pure PET were examined. It is shown that catalyst (Manganese acetate)and stabilizer (Triphenyl phosphite) result in an increase of the crystallization rate of PET; on the contrary, DEG and oligomer (cyclotetramer) result in a reduction of the crystallization rate. When catalyst and stabilizer coexist together, both of them promote the crystallization at lower temperature ,only a smaller effect was found at higher temperature, it is evident that metal phosphite is formed between the catalyst and stabilizer at higher temperature.     

颗粒内传质参数作为工具用于催化剂颗粒的设计(英文)

A chromatographic method and a dynamic Wicke-Kallenbach method (DMWK) were used to determine the diffusion characteristics of two industrial copper containing catalysts. The first catalyst was used in nitrobenzene hydrogenation to aniline and the second was used in a low temperature water-gas shift reaction. Experimental results show that application of these two methods leads to similar results. Experimental data obtained allow for monitoring changes in the texture of the catalyst grains and intraparticle diffusivity of gaseous reagents at different states of the catalyst activity and use, which can be used as criteria for designing optimal industrial catalyst pellets.     

源自水稻壳的高比表面纳米二氧化硅负载12-磷钨酸:一种高效纳米催化剂用于几种有机反应(英文)

Nano silica was prepared from rice husk with high surface area.X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern showed that the amorphous form of silica was produced.Chemical composition of the nano silica was estimated by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and CHN analysis.The nano silica was used as a support for H3PW12O40.The nano silica and nano silica supported H3PW12O40 were characterized by inductively coupled plasma,XRD,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),N2 adsorption-desorption,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.TEM images of nano silica as well as the supported catalyst displayed average size of 6 and 7 nm,respectively.The catalyst showed excellent activity in some important organic reactions including Biginelli,Hantzsch,Mannich,and Claisen-Schmidt reactions with good reusability.Catalytic activity of this nano catalyst is an improvement over the commercially available silica that is used to support H3PW12O40.     

Effect of Dimethyl Ether Co-feed on Catalytic Performance of Methane Dehydroaromatization over Mo／HZSM-5 Catalyst

The effect of dimethyl ether (DME) co-feed on the catalytic performance of methane dehydroaxomatization (MDA) over 6Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst was investigated as a function of DME concentration under reaction conditions of T=1023 K, p=101 kPa and SV=1500 ml/(g.h). A high benzene yield wasobtained and the stability of the catalyst was improved by adding 1.5%DME to the CH4 feed. The C6H6 yield was as high as ca. 10% even after reaction for 6 h. The stability of the catalyst was further improved when DME concentration in the co-feed gas was increased to an appropriate value. TGA and TPO results of the used 6Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst showed that the amount of coke on the used catalyst was reduced and the chemical nature of the coke was changed. When 1.5%DME was added to the CH4 feed, the coke formed on the catalyst could be burned off more easily than that when only CH4 was used as reactant. It is supposed that the oxygen in DME may play a role in preventing the coke burnt off at lower temperature from transforming into the coke burnt off at higher temperature, which results in the improvement of the stability of the catalyst.     

OXIDATIVE COUPLING OF METHANE OVER SrO-La_2O_3/CaO CATALYSTS Ⅳ. EFFECT OF HOT SPOT TEMPERATURE AND CO_2 IN FEED

The phenomenon of hot spot temperature and the effect of CO_2 in thefeed on the catalytic performance were studied in the oxidative coupling ofmethane over the La_2O_3/CaO(LC)and SrO-La_2O_3/CaO(SLC)catalysts.There was an abrupt change in the activity of the catalyst when the reactiontemperature increased from 873 to 923 K if no inert gas was used in the feed.This is mainly caused by the total oxidation of methane,releasing the combus-tion heat and resulting in a local over-heated spot in the catalyst bed.Then thereaction of oxidative coupling of methane was initiated.It is found that the ad-dition of CO_2 in the feed caused a severe effect on the catalytic performances ofthe SLC catalysts,especially if the SrO content was high.But no effect couldbe detected for the LC catalyst.The deactivation of the SLC catalyst is mainlyattributed to the formation of SrCO_3,which is inactive or much less active thanthe surface SrO species and is difficult to dissociate at the reaction condition.     

采用燃烧技术制备CuO纳米粒子:一种高效且环境友好的用于芳族醛合成芳族腈催化剂(英文)

CuO nanoparticles were synthesized using an energy-efficient and rapid solution combustion technique with malic acid employed as a fuel. The combustion-derived CuO nanoparticles were used as catalysts in a one-pot synthesis of aromatic nitriles from aromatic aldehydes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. The catalytic activity of the CuO nanoparticles in the synthesis of aromatic nitriles from aromatic aldehydes was evaluated. The present protocol offers the advantages of a clean reaction, simple methodology, short reaction duration (1-2 min), and high yield (85%-98%). The catalytic activity of the CuO nanoparticles was found to be higher than that of bulk CuO powder under the same conditions. The catalyst can also be recovered and reused up to four times with no significant loss of catalytic activity. The present approach is inexpensive and is a convenient technique suitable for industrial production of CuO nanoparticles and nitriles.     

Study of a Ru-La/Zr02 Catalyst Prepared by Precipitation Method for Selective Hydrogenation of Benzene to Cyclohexene

A Ru-La/ZrO2 catalyst was prepared by the precipitation method, in which Ru was an active component, La was a promoter and ZrO2 was a dispersant. Comparing with the catalyst prepared by the chemical reduction method, the Ru-La/ZrO2 exhibited higher activity and better selectivity. At 140 ℃ and hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa, the C6H10 selectivity reached 70% at a C6H6 conversion of 35% for a reaction time was 5 min and the total La/Ru loading was 10%. Textural parameters of the catalyst were obtained by physical adsorption, BET surface area and specific pore volume measurements. The catalyst sample gave a BET area of 41 m2/g and a specific pore volume of 1.1 cm^3/g, and the most probable pore distribution was located at 5 to 10 nm. H2-TPR measurements showed that ruthenium oxide could be reduced to its metallic state at about 403 K. XRD determinations indicated that ruthenium and lanthanum were highly dispersed on the zirconia. A significant advantage of the Ru-La/ZrO2 catalyst is that it can be used directly in its unreduced state for the selective hydrogenation of benzene.

A mild,effective,and selective procedure is reported for the mono N-benzylation and N,N-dibenzylation of primary amines as well as mono N-benzylation of secondary amines using silicasupported copper(I) oxide in water.The silica-supported Cu2O was generated in situ by the reaction of Fehling solution and glucose at 100 °C onto activated silica.The catalyst was filtered,washed with water,and oven-dried,and was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,thermogravimetric analysis,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and atomic absorption spectroscopy.The prepared Cu2O-SiO2 was found to be thermally stable up to 325 °C.The copper was uniformly distributed onto the surface of the silica,and the mean particle diameter was 7 nm.The catalyst served as a selective heterogenous catalyst for the N-benzylation of primary and secondary amines.The catalyst is recyclable and was used effectively upto fifth run without a significant loss of catalytic activity.Various reaction solvents including water,acetonitrile,and toluene were screened for N-benzylation of amines,and the success of the aqueous system highlights the low environmental impact of the procedure.     

Synthesis, Characterization of Mesoporous Al-Mg Composite Oxide and Catalytic Performance for Oxyethylation of Fatty Alcohol

A mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide with a hexagonal structure was synthesized with aluminium nitrate and magnesium nitrate as the reagents and sodium dodecyl sulfate（SDS） as the template in the presence of ethylenediamine. The XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and TEM studies indicate that the composite has a hexagonal framework structure and an average pore diameter of 2. 6 nm. The TG/DTA spectra indicate that the decomposition and the removal of the occluded surfactant of the sample take place in a range of 230-550 ℃. The mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide exhibites a highly catalytic activity for the oxyethylation of fatty alcohols. Narrow-range distributed ethoxylates are formed in the presence of the mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide catalyst. The distribution selectivity coefficient（Cx） is 24 when the mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide was used as a catalyst for the oxyethylation of octanol and the average adduct degree of ethoxylates is 6. 4.     

肼分解催化剂表征及失活机理研究

Ir/ γ Al 2O 3 catalyst for hydrazine decomposition has been investigated by using XPS, SEM, H 2 TPD and H 2 isothermal adsorption. The results show that the iridium species enrich on the surface of the catalyst in more than one state, and that the metallic iridium is the active sites for the reaction. The iridium species were sintered seriously during the reaction, and the amount of H 2 adsorption on used sample was only a quarter of that on fresh sample. The concentration of Cl - species on the surface decreased quickly at the initial period of the reaction process and stayed at a certain low value. Obvious breakup of the surface structure of the used sample was found. In all, the sintering of metallic iridium and the damage of alumina surface structure are the reasons for deactivation of the catalyst, while the Cl - concentration has little effect on the reaction performance.     

Methanol conversion to DME as a blue fuel:The beneficial use of ultrasonic irradiation for the preparation of CuO/H-MOR nanocatalyst

Methanol conversion to DME was investigated over CuO /H-MOR nanocatalyst prepared by precipitation and /or by precipitation flowed by ultrasonic irradiation methods. BET,XRD,SEM,NH3-TPD and H2-TPR techniques were used to characterize nanocatalysts. The effective ultrasonication factors encountered during carrying out the dehydration of methanol on Cuo /H-MOR zeolite catalysts to produce dimethylether are studied in the present work. These factors include: the type of ultrasonication media,the ultrasonication time,and the fixed weight of the solid catalyst per the volume of the ultrasonication liquid media( Wcatalyst/ Vliquidratio). XRD showed that structure of H-MOR is not damaged even after it is loaded with CuO nanoparticles or with ultrasonication. H2-TPR profiles indicated that reducibility of sonicated CuO / H-MOR nanocatalyst is higher than non-sonicated catalyst. It is found that employing ultrasound energy for 60 min has the highest influence on the surface properties of nanocatalyst and its catalytic performance( activity and stability) of CuO / H-MOR catalyst. Surface morphology( SEM) of the sonicated CuO /H-MOR catalysts have clarified that methanol by itself used as an ultrasonication medium gives the best results concerning the homogeneity of particle sizes compared to the non-sonicated catalyst,where large agglomerates and non-homogeneous clusters appeared. Water used as a sonication medium showed many large agglomerates in addition to some smaller particles resulted in lowcatalytic activity. The different alcohols and( Wcatalyst/ Vliquid) ratio were examined to give precise correlation with the catalytic activity of the sonicated CuO / H-MOR zeolite catalyst. These findings certified that ultrasonication has a deep effect on the surface morphology and hence on the catalytic behavior of the dehydration of methanol to DME. NH3-TPD shows that ultrasound irradiation has enhanced the acidity of CuO / H-MOR catalyst and hence it’s catalytic performance for DME formation.     

结合催化气化过程的高效直接碳固体氧化物燃料电池(英文)

This study explores strategies to develop highly efficient direct carbon fuel cells(DCFCs) by com-bining a solid-oxide fuel cell(SOFC) with a catalyst-aided carbon-gasification process. This system employs Cu/CeO 2 composites as both anodic electrodes and carbon additives in a cell of the type: carbon|Cu-CeO 2/YSZ/Ag|air. The study investigates the impact on in situ carbon-gasification and DCFC performance characteristics of catalyst addition and variation in the carrier gas used(inert He versus reactive CO2). The results indicate that cell performance is significantly improved by infusing the catalyst into the carbon feedstock and by employing CO2 as the carrier gas. At 800 ℃, the maxi-mum power output is enhanced by approximately 40% and 230% for carbon/CO2 and car-bon/catalyst/CO2 systems, respectively, compared with that of the carbon/He configuration. The increase observed when employing the catalyst and CO2 as the carrier gas can be primarily at-tributed to the pronounced effect of the catalyst on carbon-gasification through the re-verse-Boudouard reaction, and the subsequent in situ electro-oxidation of CO at the anode three-phase boundary.     

Enhancement in Activity of a Vanadium Catalyst for the Oxidation of Sulfur Dioxide by Radio Frequency Plasma During the Preparation Process

Radio frequency plasma was used to prepare a vanadium catalyst. The results showed that activating time of the catalyst could be shortened quickly and the catalytic activity was improved to some extent with the use of plasma. Catalyst Ls-9 was prepared under an optimal condition of 40 W discharge power, 10 min discharge time and 8 Pa gas pressure. The catalytic activity was up to 54.7% at 410℃,which was 2.2% higher than that of the Ls-8 catalyst. Only 10 min was needed to activate the catalyst with plasma, which was 1/9 of the traditional calcination time. For Ls-9, both the endothermic as well as the exothermic peaks detected by differential thermal analysis shifted to higher temperatures obviously, indicating that its crystal phase could melt easily. There existed an apparent endothermic peak at 283℃. SEM photographs showed a uniform size distribution. It is inferred that the quadrivalent vanadium compound may exist mainly in the form of VOSO4.     

Ring-closing Metathesis on an Allyl-terminated Carbosilane Dendrimer

Nano palladium catalyzed C(sp3)-H bonds arylation by a transient directing strategy

Reported herein is the first example of heterogeneous palladium catalyzed C(sp³)-H bonds arylation by a transient-ligand-directed strategy.Using supported palladium(metallic state) na nopariticles as catalyst,a wide range of aryl iodides undergo the coupling with various o-methylbenzaldehyde derivatives to assemble a library of highly selective and functionalized o-benzylbenzaldehydes.The stability of the catalyst was easily recovered four runs without significant loss of activity.The XPS analysis of the catalyst before and after reaction indicated that the reaction might be carried out by a catalytic cycle starting with Pd~0.     

A New Reaction-controlled Phase-transfer Catalyst System

A new reaction-controlled phase-transfer catalyst system was designed and synthesized.In this system, heteropolytungstate [C7H7N(CH3)3]9PW9O34 was used for catalytic epoxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 as the oxidant. The conversion of H2O2 was 100% and the yield of cyclohexene oxide was 87.1% based on cyclohexene. Infrared spectra showed that both fresh catalyst and the recovered catalyst do have completely same absorption peak, indicating the structure of catalyst is very stability and can be recycled.     

CO HYDROGENATION OVER HIGHLY DISPERSED Fe/AlPO_4-5 CATALYST

The Fe/AlPO_4-5 catalyst is prepared by a new method,SMAI,andcharacterized by XPS,ESR and magnetic measurement techniques.The sur-face active phase iron exists as Fe~0 and its average diameter is below 4.0 nm.The catalyst has high activity and selectivity for light hydrocarbons in CO hy-drogenation.Moreover,the catalyst has a higher stubility.TPSH,Mossbauerand XPS are used to characterize the used catalyst.The results show that thesurface phases of used catalyst are mainly iron carbides,and only a smallamount of graphitic surface deposit is detected.The main reason of the deacti-vation is the accumulation of iron particles,not the deposit of the graphite.Thecatalytic properties of SMAI catalysts are attributed to the special prepartionmethod and unique crystal structure and chemical composition of AIPO_4-5molecular sieves.     

Operando HERFD-XANES and surface sensitive Δμ analyses identify the structural evolution of copper(Ⅱ) phthalocyanine for electroreduction of CO2

The quantitative understanding of how atomic-level catalyst structural changes affect the reactivity of the electrochemical CO₂reduction reaction is challenging.Due to the complexity of catalytic systems,conventional in situ X-ray spectroscopy plays a limited role in tracing the underlying dynamic structural changes in catalysts active sites.Herein,operando high-energy resolution fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to precisely identify the dynamic structural transformation of well-defined active sites of a representative model copper(Ⅱ)phthalocyanine catalyst which is of guiding significance in studying single-atom catalysis system.Comprehensive X-ray spectroscopy analyses,including surface sensitive△μspectra which isolates the surface changes by subtracting the disturb of bulk base and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy simulation,were used to discover that Cu species aggregated with increasing applied potential,which is responsible for the observed evolution of C₂H₄.The approach developed in this work,characterizing the active-site geometry and dynamic structural change,is a novel and powerful technique to elucidate complex catalytic mechanisms and is expected to con tribute to the rational design of highly effective catalysts.     

Thermoregulated Phase-separable Ru_3(CO)_(12)/PETPP Complex Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Styrene

The basic problem in homogeneous catalysis is the separation of catalyst from the reaction mixtures. To overcome this drawback, a number of methods have been developed. One of them is to attach homogeneous catalyst to supports 1. An alternative and well used approach involves liquid/liquid biphasic catalysis in which the catalyst and product reside in different phases and separation of the products is achieved simply by phase separation2. Recently, a concept of thermoregulated phase transf…     

Synthesis of Acetic Acid on Pd-H_4SiW_(12)O_(40)-Based Catalysts by Direct Oxidation of Ethylene

Synthesis of acetic acid by direct oxidation of ethylene on Pd-H4SiW12O40-based catalysts was studied in a fixed-bed integral reactor and a pulse differential reactor. From the performance of the catalysts with different compositions and configurations, it is proposed that acetic acid is predominantly produced via an intermediate of acetaldehyde. This can be easily confirmed by comparing the product distributions in the integral and the differential reactors. The active sites for acetic acid formation are considered to exist mainly at the boundaries between the H4SiW12O40 and the Pd particles. The Pd-based catalysts reduced by H2/N2 have higher activities than those reduced by hydrazine, as explained by the degree of Pd dispersion obtained from the characteristics of hydrogen chemical adsorption. It was found that the Pd-Se-SiW12/SiO2 catalyst with selenium tetrachloride as a precursor was more active than that with potassium selenite, and that the acetic acid yield can be greatly increased by adding a s
