Cu-ZnO-Al2O3复合催化剂上甘油选择氢解合成丙二醇

分别采用均匀共沉淀法、沉积-沉淀法和传统的共沉淀法制备了3种具有相似组成的Cu-ZnO-A1₂O₃催化剂（CZA-HP,CAZ-DP和CZA-CP）Ε同时还采用均匀共沉淀法制备了Cu-ZnO催化剂（CZ-HP）以用于比较.X射线衍射表征结果表明,以上方法制备的Cu-Zn-Al碱式碳酸盐前体中Cu²⁺,Zn²⁺和Al³⁺的混合均匀程度的顺序为CZA-DP3+分散程度的提高和A1₂O₃与ZnO的紧密接触使得Cu-ZnO-A1₂O₃催化剂中金属Cu和ZnO具有更小的粒径.但ZnO-A1₂O₃间紧密接触也阻隔了Cu-ZnO-A1₂O₃催化剂中金属Cu与ZnO之间的相互作用.因此A1₂O₃的添加使得CZA-HP样品上的Cu粒子表现出最强的氧化还原能力.在473 K和6.0 MPa H₂的反应条件下,以上三种Cu-ZnO-A1₂O₃催化剂均高选择性地催化甘油氢解为丙二醇（30%甘油转化率下的选择性>90%）.Cu-ZnO-A1₂O₃催化剂表面单位Cu原子的本征活性顺序为CZA-DP2O₃的添加还显著地抑制了Cu粒子在反应过程中的聚集,提高了催化剂的稳定性.经6次循环使用后,CZ-HP中Cu粒子的粒径从13.2增至45.2 nm,活性相应下降了45%:而CZA-HP中Cu粒子的粒径从8.3增至19.0 nm,活性仅下降了10%.     

Alcohol-Induced Strong Metal-Support Interactions in a Supported Copper/ZnO Catalyst

Tuning the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) in metal catalysts is a promising strategy to improve their catalytic performance. In this article, we systematically investigated the influences of different alcohol/water mixtures on the evolution of the interfacial structure of Cu/ZnO catalysts in the reduction stage. A series of in situ characterization and theoretical simulation studies were performed to elucidate the various mechanisms of alcohol induced SMSI. It was found that when methanol/water is added to H₂ during the reduction pretreatment, more oxygen vacancies are formed on the ZnO support, which facilitates the dissociation of H₂O and the hydroxylation of ZnO species. Such promotion eventually favors the SMSI between Cu and ZnO and increases the catalytic activity for the methanol steam reforming reaction. In contrast, the addition of ethanol/water and 1-propanol/water during reduction leads to a physical blockage of the catalyst by alcohol molecules, poisoning the active Cu sites and limiting the migration of ZnO species.

Improved adhesion of copper on Al2O3

Summary Improved methods for Al₂O₃ metallization by Cu are described. Good adhesion between Cu and Al₂O₃ substrate depends on the formation of chemical bonds between the substrate and the metallic layer. The temperature needed for the formation of a CuAl₂O₄ spinel interface is reduced from 1050°C to 900°C by the addition of various oxides. The adhesion between the CuAl₂O₄ interface and deposited Cu is stronger then the tensile strength of pure Cu. Plasma techniques for the formation of a Cu containing interface are also described. Bombardment of a Cu film with Xe⁺ ions in a rf-glow discharge implants Cu atoms into the substrate to a depth of 5 nm, as determined by SIMS depth profiling. Methods for reduction of the CuAl₂O₄ surface for subsequent metallization are also presented.

采用共沉淀法制备了系列铜负载量不同的Cu/Fe₂O₃水煤气变换(WGS)催化剂,并考察了铜负载量对催化剂结构和水煤气变换反应性能的影响. 结果表明,Cu/Fe₂O₃催化剂呈现出良好的水煤气反应性能,当CuO质量分数为20%时,催化剂的WGS性能最优,250 ℃时CO转化率高达97.2%,同时热稳定性也最好. 运用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、N₂物理吸脱附和H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)等手段对Cu/Fe₂O₃催化剂的物相、织构特征及还原性能进行了表征,结果表明,CuFe₂O₄物种的存在极大地改善了催化剂的还原性能和WGS反应活性. 这是由于CuFe₂O₄特殊的尖晶石结构有利于Cu微晶的稳定;同时,CuFe₂O₄在低温下即被还原为单质铜,有利于促进催化剂体系中电子的转移. 此外,通过(NH₄)₂CO₃溶液处理,研究了独立相CuO对Cu/Fe₂O₃催化剂WGS反应性能的影响,结果发现,独立相CuO的存在,有利于H原子在各组分传递,从而促进催化剂的CuFe₂O₄的还原,改善Cu/Fe₂O₃催化剂的WGS反应性能.     

Photochemical Synthesis and Spectral-Optical Characteristics of ZnO/Cu and ZnO/Ag/Cu Nanoheterostructures

The photoreduction of Cu²⁺ at the surface of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnO/Ag nanostructures was investigated. The spectral characteristics of the obtained ZnO/Cu and ZnO/Ag/Cu composites were studied in relation to the reaction conditions. It was shown that the ZnO/Ag nanoparticles have higher photocatalytic activity in the reduction of Cu²⁺ ions than the individual ZnO particles.     

Gibbs free energies of formation of ZnAl2O4 and ZnCr2O4

The standard free energies of formation of zinc aluminate and chromite were determined by measuring the oxygen potential over a solid CuZn alloy, containing 10 at.?% Zn, in equilibrium with ZnO, ZnAl₂O₄+Al₂O₃(χ) and ZnCr₂O₄+Cr₂O₃, in the temperature range 700–900°C. The oxygen potential was monitored by means of a solid oxide galvanic cell in which a Y₂O₃ThO₂ pellet was sandwiched between a CaOZrO₂ crucible and tube. The temperature dependence of the free energies of formation of the interoxidic compounds can be represented by the equations,

The heat of formation of the spinels calculated from the measurements by the “Second Law method” is found to be in good agreement with calorimetrically determined values. Using an empirical correlation for the entropy of formation of cubic spinel phases from oxides with rock-salt and corundum structures and the measured high temperature cation distribution in ZnAl₂O₄, the entropy of transformation of ZnO from wurtzite to rock-salt structure is evaluated.     

Promoting effect of polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether on Cu/ZnO catalysts for low-temperature methanol synthesis

Cu/ZnO catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method with the addition of OP-10 (polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether) and were chemically and structurally characterized by means of XRD, BET, H₂-TPR, CO-TPD and N₂O-titration. The effect of OP-10 addition on the activity of Cu/ZnO for the slurry phase methanol synthesis at 150 °C was evaluated. The results showed that Cu/ZnO prepared with addition of 8% OP-10 (denoted as C8) exhibited the promoted activity for the methanol synthesis. The conversion of CO and the STY (space time yield) of methanol were 42.5% and 74.6% higher than those of Cu/ZnO prepared without addition of OP-10 (denoted as C0), respectively. The precursor of C8 contained more aurichalcite and rosasite, and the concerted effect of Cu-Zn in C8 was found to be stronger than that in C0. Compared with C0, C8 showed smaller particle size, lower reduction temperature and larger BET and Cu surface areas.     

Development of high performance Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis and the water-gas shift reaction

Our groups studies on Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis via hydrogenation of CO₂ and for the water-gas shift reaction are reviewed. Effects of ZnO contained in supported Cu-based catalysts on their activities for several reactions were investigated. The addition of ZnO to Cu-based catalyst supported on Al₂O₃, ZrO₂ or SiO₂ improved its specific activity for methanol synthesis and the reverse water-gas shift reaction, but did not improve its specific activity for methanol steam reforming and the water-gas shift reaction. Methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂ over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts was extensively studied under a joint research project between National Institute for Resources and Environment (NIRE; one of the former research institutes reorganized to AIST) and Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). It was suggested that methanol should be produced via the hydrogenation of CO₂, but not via the hydrogenation of CO, and that H₂O produced along with methanol should greatly suppress methanol synthesis. The Cu/ZnO-based multicomponent catalysts such as Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ and Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃/Ga₂O₃ were highly active for methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂. The addition of a small amount of colloidal silica to the multicomponent catalysts greatly improved their long-term stability during methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂. The purity of the crude methanol produced in a bench plant was 99.9 wt% and higher than that of the crude methanol from a commercial methanol synthesis from syngas. The water-gas shift reaction over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts was also studied. The activity of Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst for the water-gas shift reaction at 523 K was less affected by the pre-treatments such as calcination and treatment in H₂ at high temperatures than that of the Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Accordingly, the Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst was considered to be more suitable for practical use for the water-gas shift reaction. The Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst was also highly active for the water-gas shift reaction at 673 K. Furthermore, a two-stage reaction system composed of the first reaction zone for the water-gas shift reaction at 673 K and the second reaction zone for the reaction at 523 K was found to be more efficient than a one-stage reaction system. The addition of a small amount of colloidal silica to a Cu/ZnO-based catalyst greatly improved its long-term stability in the water-gas shift reaction in a similar manner as in methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂.

For ethyl acetate oxidation, more than 99% conversion was achieved at 245 °C over catalysts Cu/Al₂O₃-Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ (1:2) and Mn/Al₂O₃-Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ (1:2, mass ratio), indicating that the catalysts had great potential for wide use.
