Partial Oxidation of Methane to Formaldehyde over Superfine Mo/ZrO_2 Catalysts

Superfine Mo/ZrO_2 catalysts were prepared for partial oxidation of methane to HCHO and characterized by BET, XRD, LRS, H2-TPR and XPS. Mo existed mainly in the form of Zr(MoO4)2, and the catalytic performance and physicochemical properties of the Mo/ZrO2 catalysts were closely related to this species.     

Selective Oxidation of Toluene with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by V-Mo-based Catalyst

The selective catalytic oxidation of toluene with hydrogen peroxide over V-Mo-based catalysts under mild conditions was studied.The promotion effect of Mo on the catalysts was studied with V/Al2O3 and Mo/Al2O3 as reference samples.The catalysts were characterized by XRD,TPR,and XPS techniques.The results show that the addition of Mo to V/Al2O3 may change the distribution of V species on Al2O3 surface.Over V-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst,highly dispersed amorphous V species facilitates benzaldehyde formation,and crystalline V2O5 species increases the conversion of toluene but decreases the selectivity to benzaldehyde,while AlVMoO7 species favors both the conversion of toluene and the formation of cresols.The yield of benzaldehyde depends remarkably on the surface O/Al and Mo/V atomic ratios,and gets to a maximum value of 13.2% with a selectivity of 79.5% at an O/Al atomic ratio of 3.0 and Mo/V atomic ratio of 0.7.     

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).     

Catalytic performance of Fe modified K/MO2C catalyst for CO hydrogenation

Fe modified and un-modified K/Mo2C were prepared and investigated as catalysts for CO hydrogenation reaction. Compared with K/Mo2C catalyst, the addition of Fe increased the production of alcohols, especially the C2+OH. Meanwhile, considerable amounts of C5+ hydrocar- bons and C2= -C4= were formed, whereas methane selectivity greatly decreased. Also, the activity and selectivity of the catalyst were readily affected by the reaction pressure and temperature employed. According to the XPS results, Mo4+ might be responsible for the production of alcohols, whereas the low valence state of Mo species such as Mo0 and/or Mo2+ might be account for the high activity and selectivity toward hydrocarbons.     

Synthesis of glycerin triacetate over molding zirconia-loaded sulfuric acid catalyst

Zirconia-loaded sulfuric acid (SO24- /ZrO2) catalysts were prepared by impregnation method, molded by punch tablet machine and characterized by X-ray diffraction. SO42- /ZrO2 catalyst was used to obtain glycerol triacetate (GTA) directly from glycerin. The effect of some factors, such as different temperatures of calcination and catalysts molded or not, on the reusable times of catalysts and the yield of GTA were investigated. The optimum reaction conditions were shown as follows: the reaction temperature was 403 K; the reaction time continued for 8 h; the amount of molded catalysts was 5 wt% of glycerin and the molar ratio of glycerin to acetic acid was 1 : 8. The yield of GTA was 97.93% under the optimum condition.     

The tuning of pore structures and acidity for Zn/Al layered double hydroxides:The application on selective hydrodesulfurization for FCC gasoline

Co–Mo catalysts applied on the hydrodesulfurization(HDS) for FCC gasoline were prepared with Zn–Al layered double hydroxides(LDHs) to improve their performances,and the effects of pore structures and acidity on HDS performances were studied in detail. A series of Zn–Al/LDHs samples with different pore structures and acidities are synthesized on the bases of co-precipitation of OH-,CO2-,Al3+,and Zn2+. The neutralization p H is a main factor to affect the pore structures and acidity of Zn–Al/LDHs,and a series of Zn–Al/LDHs with different pore structures and acidities are obtained. Based on the representative samples with different specific surface areas(SBET) and acidities,three Co Mo/LDHs catalysts were prepared,and their HDS performances were compared with traditional Co Mo/Al2O3 catalysts. The results indicated that catalysts prepared with high SBETpossessed high HDS activity,and Br?nsted acid sites could reduce the thiol content in the product to some extent. All the three catalysts prepared with LDHs displayed little lower HDS activity but higher selectivity than Co Mo/Al2O3,and could restrain the reactions of re-combination between olefin and H2 S which could be due to the existence of Br?nsted acid sites.     

Methane Direct Conversion on Mo/ZSM-5 Catalysts Modified by Pd and Ru

The effect of addition of Ru and Pd to Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts used in the dehydroaromatiza-tion of methane was investigated. Catalytic tests and temperature-programmed oxidation results showed that Pd-based catalysts were more selective to naphthalene and suffered strong deactivation. The presence of Ru improved the activity and stability, with a decrease in the carbonaceous deposit probably because of a mechanism of protection of the Mo2C surface.     

Carbon dioxide reforming of methane over Ni/Mo/SBA-15-La2O3 catalyst: Its characterization and catalytic performance

The Ni/Mo/SBA-15 catalyst was modified by La2O3 in order to improve its thermal stability and carbon deposition resistance during the CO2 reforming of methane to syngas. The catalytic performance, thermal stability, structure, dispersion of nickel and carbon deposition of the modified and unmodified catalysts were comparatively investigated by many characterization techniques such as N2 adsorption, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, XRD, FT-IR and SEM. It was found that the major role of La2O3 additive was to improve the pore structure and inhibit carbon deposition on the catalyst surface. The La2O3 modified Ni/Mo/SBA-15 catalyst possessed a mesoporous structure and high surface area. The high surface area of the La2O3 modified catalysts resulted in strong interaction between Ni and Mo-La, which improved the dispersion of Ni, and retarded the sintering of Ni during the CO2 reforming process. The reaction evaluation results also showed that the La2O3 modified Ni/Mo/SBA-15 catalysts exhibited high stability.     

States of Carbon Nanotube Supported Mo-Based HDS Catalysts

The dispersion of the active phase and loading capacity of the Mo species on carbon nanotube (CNT) was studied by the XRD technique. The reducibility properties of Co-Mo catalysts in the oxide state over CNTs were investigated by TPR, while the sulfided Co-Mo/CNT catalysts were characterized by means of the XRD and LRS techniques. The activity and selectivity with respect to the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) performances on carbon nanotube supported Co-Mo catalysts were evaluated. It was found that the main active molybdenum species in the oxide state MoO3/CNT catalysts were MoO2, but not MoO3, as generally expected. The maximum loading before the formation of the bulk phase was lower than 6% (percent by mass, based on MoO3). TPR studies revealed that the active species in the oxide state Co-Mo/CNT catalysts were reduced more easily at relatively lower temperatures in comparison to those of the Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts, indicating that the CNT support promoted or favored the reduction of the active species. The active species of a Co-Mo-0.7/CNT catalyst were more easily reduced than those of the Co-Mo/CNT catalysts with Co/Mo atomic ratios of 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5, respectively, suggesting that the Co/Mo atomic ratio has a great effect on the reducibility of the active species. It was found that the incorporation of cobalt improved the dispersion of the molybdenum species on the support, and a phenomenon of mobilization and re-dispersion had occurred during the sulfurization process, resulting in low valence state Mo3S4 and Co-MoS2.17 active phases. HDS measurements showed that the Co-Mo/CNT catalysts were more active than the Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3 ones for the desulfurization of DBT, and the hydrogenolysis/hydrogenation selectivity of the Co-Mo/CNT catalysts was also much higher than those of the Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3. The Co-Mo/CNT catalyst with a Co/Mo atomic ratio of 0.7 showed the highest activity, whereas the catalyst with a Co/Mo atomic ratio of 0.35 had the highest selectivity.     

Methanation of carbon dioxide on Ni/ZrO2-Al2O3 catalysts:Effects of ZrO2 promoter and preparation method of novel ZrO2-Al2O3 carrier

The novel nickel-based catalysts with a nickel content of 12 wt% were prepared with the zirconia-alumina composite as the supports. The new carriers, ZrO2 improved alumina, were synthesized by three methods, i.e., impregnation-precipitation, co-precipitation, and impregnation method. The catalytic properties of these catalysts were investigated in the methanation of carbon dioxide, and the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. The new catalysts showed higher catalytic activity and better stability than Ni/γ-Al2O3. Furthermore, as a support for new nickel catalyst, the ZrO2-Al2O3 composite prepared by the impregnation-precipitation method was more efficient than the other supports in the methanation of carbon dioxide. The highly dispersed zirconium oxide on the surface of γ-Al2O3 inhibited the formation of nickel aluminate-like phase, which was responsible for the better dispersion of Ni species and easier reduction of NiO species, leading to the enhanced catalytic performance of corresponding catalyst.     

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic study of surface acidity by pyridine adsorption on Mo/ZrO2-SiO2(Al2O3) catalysts

Acidity of the oxidic molybdenum catalysts supported on mixed ZrO2-SiO2 and ZrO2-Al2O3 carriers was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption. Deposition of molybdenum on ZrO2-SiO2 and ZrO2-Al2O3 supports leads to formation of surface Br?nsted acid sites. The number of the Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites in supported-molybdenum catalysts depends on both the ZrO2 content and the type of the support. With increasing ZrO2 content, the Lewis acid sites increase for both series of catalysts. The Br?nsted acid sites are higher for Mo/ZrO2-SiO2 samples compared to those for Mo/ZrO2-Al2O3 and also increase with zirconia.

MnOx在ZrO2上分散状态及对CO氧化的影响

Mn-O/ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and were characterized by XRD, TPR and TPD-MS. The oxidation activity of CO on these catalysts was also studied. The results indicated that the interaction between MnOx and ZrO2 would restrained the phase transformation of ZrO2, and raised the dispersion of MnOx species on ZrO2. The highly-dispersed MnOx on ZrO2 is predominant contributors in catalytic activity of the Mn-O/ZrO2 catalysts.

铜含量对Cu／ZrO2和Cu—La2O3／ZrO2催化剂性能影响

本文考察了铜含量对CuZrO2和Cu-La2O3ZrO2催化剂性能影响。结果表明,当铜含量较低时,铜在催化剂中以高分散状态存在,并随铜含量增加,催化剂活性线性增加。当铜含量超过某一值,部分铜组分以体相铜形式存在,催化剂活性随铜含量变化不明显。因此,高分散铜为影响CuZrO2催化剂活性主要因素。     

VOx/ZrO2和K-VOx/ZrO2催化剂的结构与催化碳黑氧化性能

采用等体积浸渍法制备两个系列不同V和K负载量的VOx/ZrO2和K-VOx/ZrO2催化剂.利用程序升温氧化反应(TPO)技术对VOx/ZrO2和K-VOx/ZrO2催化碳黑氧化的活性进行了考察.实验结果表明,当催化剂中V的负载量nV/nZr=4/100时, VOx/ZrO2催化剂的活性最好.添加K能显著改善VOx/ZrO2催化剂的活性,当K的添加量为nK∶nV∶nZr=1∶4∶100时,碳黑氧化的反应温度最低.催化剂的红外光谱和紫外-可见光谱表征的结果表明, nV/nZr=4/100时,催化剂的表面形成聚合的V物种浓度最大.由于聚合的V物种具有较强的氧化还原能力,因而能显著地降低柴油碳黑的氧化温度.当K-VOx/ZrO2催化剂中nK/nV超过1/4时,由于形成KVO3物种,催化剂表面原子的移动性减弱,因而催化活性降低.     

ZrO_2晶相对MoO_x/ZrO_2催化剂结构及其甲醇选择氧化性能的影响

以纯的单斜氧化锆(m-ZrO2)和四方氧化锆(t-ZrO2)为载体,采用浸渍法分别合成了具有不同MoOx表面密度的MoOx/m-ZrO2和MoOx/t-ZrO2催化剂,并结合粉末X射线衍射,Raman光谱和H2程序升温还原等技术表征了不同ZrO2晶相对MoOx分散状态、结构以及甲醇氧化反应性能的影响.在低于锆表面MoOx的单层分散阈值(～5nm-2)时,m-ZrO2比t-ZrO2能够更有效地分散MoOx,形成高分散的孤立或二维结构的MoOx物种,避免了晶相MoO3的出现.当Mo表面密度超过单层分散阈值后,经过600℃焙烧,MoOx与ZrO2载体发生固相反应生成晶相ZrMo2O8,m-ZrO2比t-ZrO2更有利于ZrMo2O8的生成.提高Mo表面密度,催化剂表面的酸性随之增强,说明晶相ZrMo2O8比分散的MoOx物种具有更强的酸性.t-ZrO2与MoOx作用形成的强酸中心更有利于催化甲醇脱水生成二甲醚,但m-ZrO2使得MoOx具有更高的氧化还原能力和催化甲醇选择氧化反应的活性.ZrO2晶相对MoOx/ZrO2催化剂影响的研究结果将有助于研究VOx等其它金属氧化物催化剂以及发展酸性和氧化还原性双功能催化剂体系.
