One-pot synthesis of VO x /Al 2 O 3 as efficient catalysts for propane dehydrogenation

Vanadium oxides, as highly efficiently catalysts, are widely applied in various catalytic reactions, such as the dehydrogenation of light alkanes and epoxidation of alkenes. In this paper, a series of VO _x /Al ₂ O ₃ catalysts were fabricated by the 1-pot method for catalytic propane dehydrogenation. The results indicated that the VO _x /Al ₂ O ₃ catalysts with loading of 10 wt.% vanadium exhibited optimized catalytic performance. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by N ₂ adsorption-desorption, XRD, TEM, H ₂ -TPR, and XPS to explore the texture properties, morphology, and electronic environment of vanadium. In addition, several vanadium catalysts were also prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) method to compare their catalytic performance with the 1-pot synthesized catalysts. The catalysts synthesized by the 1-pot method exhibited higher selectivity of propylene and longer catalyst lifetime at high propane conversion when compared to the counterpart synthesized by the IWI method.

WO3/C hybrid material as a highly active catalyst support for formic acid electrooxidation

The hybrid material based on WO₃ and Vulcan XC-72R carbon has been used as the support of Pd nanocatalysts. The resultant Pd–WO₃/C catalysts in a large range of WO₃ content exhibit excellent catalytic activity and stability for formic acid electrooxidation. The great improvement in the catalytic performance is attributed to the uniform dispersion of Pd with less particle sizes on the WO₃/C support and the hydrogen spillover effect which greatly accelerates the dehydrogenation of HCOOH on Pd.

Deactivation and regeneration of the B2O3/TiO2-ZrO2 catalyst in the vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime

The deactivation and regeneration of B₂O₃/TiO₂-ZrO₂ catalyst for the vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to -caprolactam were studied. The fresh, deactivated and regenerated catalysts were characterized by using adsorption of nitrogen, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG) and NH₃-temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD) techniques. The crystal structure and pore size distribution of the catalyst were retained after reaction, but the number of acid sites decreased significantly. There was a relationship between the amount of coke deposited on the catalyst and the decline in catalytic activity. These results suggest that the coke deposition on the surface of catalyst is mainly responsible for the catalyst deactivation. The catalytic activity can be recovered completely after calcining the deactivated catalyst in air flow at 600 °C for 8 h.     

Highly sustainable catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohols with evolution of hydrogen gas

The catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohols into aldehydes and ketones in the absence of H-acceptors was studied with several transition metal catalysts in order to develop a large-scale procedure. Applying Ru(OCOCF₃)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂, the so called Robinson catalyst, several secondary alcohols could be dehydrogenated with high selectivity into the corresponding ketones in relatively short reaction times. Highly effective atom utilization could be realized avoiding solvents and giving hydrogen gas as the sole by-product. However, in contrast to Robinson's work the catalytic dehydrogenation of primary alcohols appeared to be problematic due to decarbonylation with concomitant catalyst deactivation and aldol condensation under the strong acid or basic conditions applied.     

An easy one-step photocatalytic synthesis of 1-aryl-2-alkylbenzimidazoles by platinum loaded TiO2 nanoparticles under UV and solar light

One-pot synthesis of disubstituted benzimidazoles from N-substituted 2-nitroanilines or 1,2-diamines with 3-12 nm-sized platinum particles loaded on the TiO₂ using solar and UV-A light is described. 1-Aryl-2-alkylbenzimidazoles from 2-nitrodiphenylamines are formed by combined redox photocatalytic reaction, condensation and catalytic dehydrogenation on Pt-TiO₂. In case of diamines, this reaction is proceeded by Pt-TiO₂ assisted photocatalytic oxidation of an alcohol and a catalytic dehydrogenation of the intermediate on the surface of platinum nanoparticles. In both cases product formation was achieved by tandem photocatalytic and catalytic reactions on Pt-TiO₂.     

The Effect of MoO3 Addition to V2O5/Al2O3 Catalysts for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO by NH3

The effect of MoO₃ addition to alumina supported vanadia catalysts on the catalytic activity for the selective catlaytic reduction of NO is investigated. Upon the addition of MoO₃, catalytic activity is enhanced and the particle size of V₂O₅ which is shown by the results of XRD and Raman spectroscopy is decreased. The MoO₃-V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ catalyst also exhibits more resistance to SO₂ deactivation than V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ does.     

Optimization of catalytic, surface and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline manganese ferrite

Single-domain manganese ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized with narrow particle size distribution using the combustion technique. Influence of fuel ratios on the as-prepared powders were characterized by XRD, SEM, VSM, N₂ adsorption at −196 °C and conversion of cyclohexene at 200–400 °C. Ratios of fuel to cations were maintained variously at 0.0, 0.67, 1.33 and 2.67.The fuel to cations ratio of 2.67 gives better yield in the formation of nanocrystalline Mn ferrite and single-domain particles with a narrow range of size distribution. Maximum magnetization and coercivity values of the investigated ferrite are also greater for the ratio of 2.67. These values measured at room temperature are found to be 68.58 emu/g and 62.57 Oe, respectively. The BET surface area of the investigated solids was found to decrease by increasing the ratio between fuel and cations due to increasing the flame temperature. However, this treatment resulted in a significant increase in catalytic activity of the as-synthesized solids. All solids investigated behaved as dehydrogenation catalysts. The change in fuel/cations ratios did not alter the mechanism of dehydrogenation of cyclohexene, but increased the concentration of active sites involved in the catalyzed reaction.     

Influence of Calcination Temperature on Properties of Au/Fe2O3 Catalysts for Low Temperature Water Gas Shift Reaction

A series of Au/Fe₂O₃ catalysts for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction were prepared by modified deposition-precipitation method. The sample calcined at 300 °C showed higher catalytic activity and better stability than other samples. Using N₂ physisorption, in situ XRD, H₂-TPR, and XPS techniques, the influence of calcination temperature on properties of Au/Fe₂O₃ catalyst was explored, and the cause of deactivation was analyzed as well. The results showed that the catalytic behaviors were related to the interaction between Au and Fe₂O₃, and the reductive property of support, both of which were significantly affected by calcination temperature. Furthermore, according to the results of XPS, although stable carbonate and carbonyl surface species were found on the spent catalysts, the semiquantitative analysis of these species indicated that they were not the main cause of the deactivation. In fact, the deactivation of Au/Fe₂O₃ was sensitive to the structure change of support. During the water gas shift reaction, Fe₃O₄ particle would aggregate and crystallize leading to increase in the crystallinity of support and a significant reduction in the surface area of the catalysts, which resulted in the deactivation of Au/Fe₂O₃.     

Synthesis and applications of mesoporous Cu-Zn-Al2O3 catalyst for dehydrogenation of 2-butanol

A series of mesoporous Cu-Zn-Al₂O₃ materials have been synthesized at ambient temperature and their structure was characterized by XRD, N₂ physical adsorption and TPR techniques. Their catalytic applications for the dehydrogenation of 2-butanol to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) were evaluated in a fixed-bed flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. It is demonstrated from the XRD patterns that both the as-synthesized samples and calcined samples have the typical XRD patterns of meso-structured materials and the results of N₂O chemical adsorption showed that Cu was embedded in the framework of the mesoporous materials and homogeneously dispersed in the mesoporous Cu-Zn-Al₂O₃ materials. The catalytic activity of 2-butanol dehydrogenation was varied in the order of CZA(10)<CZA(CP)<CZA(20)<CZA(30); while the selectivity of MEK was increased in the order of CZA(CP)<CZA(10)<CZA(20)<CZA(30).

Production of 1,3-Butadiene From C4 Raffinate-3 Through Oxidative Dehydrogenation of n-Butene Over Bismuth Molybdate Catalysts

Recent progress on the bismuth molybdate catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene to 1,3-butadiene was reported in this review. A number of bismuth molybdate catalysts, including pure bismuth molybdates (α-Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂, β-Bi₂Mo₂O₉, and γ-Bi₂MoO₆) and multicomponent bismuth molybdates, were prepared by a co-precipitation method for use in the production of 1,3-butadiene from C₄ raffinate-3 through oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene. It was observed that multicomponent bismuth molybdate catalyst was more efficient than pure bismuth molybdate catalyst in the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene. Various experimental measurements such as temperature-programmed reoxidation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and O₂-temperature-programmed desorption analyses were carried out to elucidate the different catalytic activity of bismuth molybdate catalysts. It was revealed that a bismuth molybdate catalyst with a higher oxygen mobility showed a better catalytic performance in terms of conversion of n-butene and yield for 1,3-butadiene. We have successfully demonstrated from experimental findings that oxygen mobility of bismuth molybdate catalyst played a key role in determining the catalytic performance in the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene to 1,3-butadiene.

Study and application of parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of lincomycin in the presence of persulfate

The polarographic currents of lincomycin in the absence and the presence of persulfate are studied by linear potential scan polarography and cyclic voltammetry. The reduction wave of lincomycin in phosphate buffer is a catalytic hydrogen wave, which is the reduction of the proton combined with lincomycin in nature. When S₂O₈²⁻ is present, the atomic hydrogen as intermediate product from the reduction of the combined proton is oxidized by both S₂O₈²⁻ and its reduction intermediate, sulfate radical anion SO₄⁻, to regenerate the original proton, producing the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave. Based on the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave, a novel method for the determination of lincomycin is proposed. In 0.48 mol l⁻¹ KH₂PO₄-Na₂HPO₄ (pH 7.4)-8.0×10⁻³ mol l⁻¹ K₂S₂O₈ supporting electrolyte, the peak potential of the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave is −1.82 V (vs. SCE). The second-order derivative peak current is rectilinear to the lincomycin concentration in the range of 8.5×10⁻⁸-9.0×10⁻⁵ mol l⁻¹ and the detection limit is 4×10⁻⁸ mol l⁻¹. The parallel catalytic hydrogen wave is three orders in magnitude higher than that of the corresponding catalytic hydrogen wave in analytical sensitivity. The proposed method is applied to the rapid determination of lincomycin hydrochloride in eye drops without previous separation.

Dehydrogenation of Bicyclohexyl on a Pt Catalyst Based on Oxidized Carbon Nanotubes

The dehydrogenation of bicyclohexyl over Pt-containing catalysts based on oxidized carbon nanotubes at 320°С has been studied. Decreasing the active component concentration from 3.0 to 0.5 wt % led to a significant increase in the specific activity of the catalyst measured from the evolved hydrogen volume. The use of oxidized carbon nanotubes in synthesis of active Pt-supported catalysts for bicyclohexyl dehydrogenation did not result in their deactivation.

Investigation of the characteristics and deactivation of catalytic active center of Cr-Al_2O_3 catalysts for isobutane dehydrogenation

Deactivation mechanism of Cr-Al2O3 catalyst and the interaction of Cr-Al in the dehydrogenation of isobutane, as well as the nature of the catalytic active center, were studied using XRD, SEM, XPS, H2-TPR, isobutane-TPR and TPO techniques. The results revealed that the deactivation of Cr-Al2O3 catalyst was mainly caused by carbon deposition on its surface. The Cr3+ion could not be reduced by hydrogen but could be reduced to Cr2+by hydrocarbons and monoxide carbon. The active center for isobutane dehydrogenation could be Cr2+/Cr3+produced from Cr6+by the on line reduction of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide. The binding energy of Al3+was strongly affected by the state of chromium cations in the catalysts.
