Sonochemical syntheses of xanthene derivatives using zeolite-supported transition metal catalysts in aqueous media

An efficient green method for the syntheses of biologically active xanthene derivatives by use of zeolite-supported transition metal catalysts is described. A Fe-Cu/ZSM-5 heterogeneous catalyst has the highest activity in the one-pot syntheses with a wide range of aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-diketones, under ultrasonic irradiation in water at ambient temperatures. The three-component condensation in the presence of supported metal catalysts is operationally simple, requires no expensive or toxic reagents, and gives high yields in short reaction times.     

Nanostructure Copper-exchanged ZSM-5 Catalytic Activity for Conversion of Volatile Organic Compounds (Toluene and Ethyl Acetate)

Gas phase catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate and toluene was examined over copper modified ZSM‐5 catalysts under atmospheric pressure. Nanostructure of ZSM‐5 was characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. Elemental composition of ZSM‐5 was determined using EDX, ICP‐AES and XPS techniques. Results of catalytic studies showed better catalytic activity of Cu‐ZSM‐5 catalysts than those of parent ZSM‐5 and HZSM‐5, which revealed catalytic role of copper ions in the Cu‐ZSM‐5 catalysts. Effects of some parameters over catalytic conversion of these compounds were also studied. Ethyl acetate showed more reactivity than toluene over the Cu‐ZSM‐5 catalysts. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of Cu‐ZSM‐5 catalysts increased with increasing the copper loadings. The conversion behavior of a binary mixture of ethyl acetate and toluene was different from that of a single form. A promotive and inhibitive behavior was observed for conversion of ethyl acetate and toluene in the binary mixture, respectively. Water vapor as co‐feed had an inhibitive effect on conversion of organic compounds over the Cu‐ZSM‐5 catalysts.

Nanostructured LaFeO3 and substituted La1-xEuxFeO3 (x = 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2) perovskites were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion and their activities during the combustion of toluene were evaluated. The structure and physico-chemical properties of the perovskites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and BET surface area analyses. The compounds were crystallized as a perovskite phase with an orthorhombic structure. The mean particl...     

Durable and highly selective tungsten-substituted MFI metallosilicate catalysts for the methanol-to-propylene process by designing a novel feed-supply technique

For the catalytic reaction of methanol to propylene (MTP), conventional H-ZSM-5 and W-substituted MFI metallosilicate catalysts were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The catalysts were properly characterized by several techniques. For comparison of the catalytic lifetime, feedstock of MTP was provided by both a conventional system and a novel feed-supply technique. The novel technique used the piezoelectric ultrasonic effect. It was revealed that feed composition via novel feed-supply technique remained totally constant, whereas with conventional system it relatively changed. Complete methanol conversion, higher propylene yield of 54.3%, greater light olefin yield of 85.2%, and longer-term catalytic lifetime of 101 h were productively obtained for H-W(250)AlMFI catalyst using a novel method for provision of feed. The better performance of this catalyst can be attributed to adequate content of tungsten, appropriate mesoporosity, sufficient strength of acidic sites, and stable feed composition of the novel feed-supply technique. Furthermore, the MTP process was miniaturized by the piezoelectric ultrasonic device.

LaZnxFe1-xO3 钙钛矿型纳米催化剂的制备、表征及其甲苯燃烧性能

 Nanostructured LaFeO3 and substituted LaZnxFe1-xO3 (x = 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) perovskites were synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion method and used in the catalytic combustion of toluene. Their structures and surface properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, BET surface area, and scanning electron microscopy. Characterization data revealed that the total insertion of zinc into LaFeO3 takes place when x ≤ 0.1. However, ZnO segregation occurs to some extent, especially at x > 0.1. The performance of these perovskites was evaluated by toluene combustion. The catalytic activity of the catalysts increased substantially with an increase in zinc substitution. These results can be attributed to the cooperative effect between LaZnxFe1-xO3 and the zinc oxide phases. The relative concentration of these phases determines their oxygen activation ability and reactivity.     

Catalytic Combustion of Ethyl Acetate over Nanostructure Cobalt Supported ZSM-5 Zeolite Catalysts

Gas phase catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate, as one of volatile organic compounds (VOC), was studied on nanostructure ZSM-5, HZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 with different cobalt loadings. Nanostructure of ZSM-5 was determined by XRD, SEM and TEM. Catalytic studies were carried out under atmospheric pressure in a fixed bed reactor. Results showed that the Co-ZSM-5 catalysts had better activity than others and at temperatures below 350 ℃, amount of Co loading was more effective on catalytic activity. The order of conversion of ethyl acetate over different Co loading is as follows: Co-ZSM-5 (0.75 wt%)＜Co-ZSM-5 (1.5 wt%)＜Co-ZSM-5 (15 wt%)＜Co-ZSM-5 (2.8 wt%). Besides the higher the inlet concentration of ethyl acetate, the lower the conversion yield, and oxygen concentration in catalytic oxidation conditions has not so large influence on conversion. Furthermore, the presence of water vapor in inlet gaseous feed has an inhibitive effect on ethyl acetate conversion and at the temperatures above 400˚C, the effect decreases.
