Effect of conversion of NO2 into no on the catalytic reduction of NO2 with C3H6 in excess O2

During the reduction of NO₂ by C₃H₆ in O₂ over alumina-supported Au, Rh and Pt it was found that three parallel reactions take place,i.e., reduction of NO₂ to N₂ and N₂O, partial decomposition of NO₂ to NO and oxidation of C₃H₆ to CO and CO₂. In the absence of C₃H₆, the NO₂→NO+O₂ reaction reaches a fast equilibrium on Rh and Pt but not on Au and γ-Al₂O₃. Addition of C₃H₆ to the NO₂+O₂ mixture leads to the formation of NO above equilibrium conversion levels.     

Conversion of NO in NO/N2, NO/O2/N2, NO/C2H4/N2 and NO/C2H4/O2/N2 Systems by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasmas

An experimental study on the conversion of NO in the NO/N₂, NO/O₂/N₂, NO/C₂H₄/N₂ and NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ systems has been carried out using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas at atmospheric pressure. In the NO/N₂ system, NO decomposition to N₂ and O₂ is the dominating reaction; NO conversion to NO₂ is less significant. O₂ produced from NO decomposition was detected by an on-line mass spectrometer. With the increase of NO initial concentration, the concentration of O₂ produced decreases at 298 K, but slightly increases at 523 K. In the NO/O₂/N₂ system, NO is mainly oxidized to NO₂, but NO conversion becomes very low at 523 K and over 1.6% of O₂. In the NO/C₂H₄/N₂ system, NO is reduced to N₂ with about the same NO conversion as that in the NO/N₂ system but without NO₂ formation. In the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system, the oxidation of NO to NO₂ is dramatically promoted. At 523 K, with the increase of the energy density, NO conversion increases rapidly first, and then almost stabilizes at 93–91% of NO conversion with 61–55% of NO₂ selectivity in the energy density range of 317–550 J L⁻¹. It finally decreases gradually at high energy density. A negligible amount of N₂O is formed in the above four systems. Of the four systems studied, NO conversion and NO₂ selectivity of the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system are the highest, and NO/O₂/C₂H₄/N₂ system has the lowest electrical energy consumption per NO molecule converted.     

Combined transformations of carbon dioxide and ethanol in the presence of the intermetallic compound TiFe0.95Zr0.03Mo0.02, Pd/SiO2, and Al2O3

The influence of the composition of catalytic systems and the method for H₂ feed into the reaction area on the degree of conversion of CO₂ during its joint transformations with ethanol and on the selectivity of formation of liquid organic products (ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, and hydrocarbons) was studied atp=15 atm andT=573 K. A noticeable conversion of CO₂ and ethanol into ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde was observed in the presence of only the intermetallic compound, its composition with a palladium-containing catalyst, and the whole ternary catalytic system. The selectivity of the reaction changed when the binary catalytic composition consisting of the intermetallic and γ-Al₂O₃ was used. In this case, the fraction of C₉–C₁₄ alkenes and alkenes with normal and iso structures was mostly formed; its content was as high as 40%. The degree of conversion of CO₂ reached 30–36% and the selectivity to liquid products was 70–80% only when the hydrogen desorbed from the intermetallic was used.

SO2 absorption of the CO2- laser emission measured by the photoacoustic technique

Spectra of coincidence of SO₂ IR absorption with CO₂-laser emission at pressure of 50,100 and 450 Torr were recorded by the use of a photoacoustic detection method in the whole range of CO₂-laser emission. The spectra show that SO₂ absorbs many CO₂-laser lines in the range 1084–1071 cm⁻¹ with the strongest absorption at 1082.29cm⁻¹, laser line R(26). The intensities of all absorptions rise with increasing pressure, but some absorptions change their relative intensity with respect to one another. In addition, the fine structure of line spectra, characteristic of lower pressure samples, disappear as pressure is increased.

A study on methanol steam reforming to CO2 and H2 over the La2CuO4 nanofiber catalyst

The La₂CuO₄ crystal nanofibers were prepared by using single-walled carbon nanotubes as templates under mild hydrothermal conditions. The steam reforming of methanol (SRM) to CO₂ and H₂ over such nanofiber catalysts was studied. At the low temperature of 150 °C and steam/methanol=1.3, methanol was completely (100%, 13.8 g/h g catalyst) converted to hydrogen and CO₂ without the generation of CO. Within the 60 h catalyst lifespan test, methanol conversion was maintained at 98.6% (13.6 g/h g catalyst) and with 100% CO₂ selectivity. In the meantime, for distinguishing the advantage of nanoscale catalyst, the La₂CuO₄ bulk powder was prepared and tested for the SRM reaction for comparison. Compared with the La₂CuO₄ nanofiber, the bulk powder La₂CuO₄ showed worse catalytic activity for the SRM reaction. The 100% conversion of methanol was achieved at the temperature of 400 °C, with the products being H₂ and CO₂ together with CO. The catalytic activity in terms of methanol conversion dropped to 88.7% (12.2 g/h g catalyst) in 60 h. The reduction temperature for nanofiber La₂CuO₄ was much lower than that for the La₂CuO₄ bulk powder. The nanofibers were of higher specific surface area (105.0 m²/g), metal copper area and copper dispersion. The in situ FTIR and EPR experiments were employed to study the catalysts and catalytic process. In the nanofiber catalyst, there were oxygen vacancies. H₂-reduction resulted in the generation of trapped electrons [e] on the vacancy sites. Over the nanofiber catalyst, the intermediate H₂CO/HCO was stable and was reformed to CO₂ and H₂ by steam rather than being decomposed directly to CO and H₂. Over the bulk counterpart, apart from the direct decomposition of H₂CO/HCO to CO and H₂, the intermediate H₂COO might go through two decomposition ways: H₂COO=CO+H₂O and H₂COO=CO₂+H₂.     

Syngas production in a novel perovskite membrane reactor with co-feed of CO2

Partial oxidation of methane（POM） co-fed with CO₂ to syngas in a novel catalytic BaCo_0.6Fe_0.2Ta_0.2O_3-δ oxygen permeable membrane reactor was successfully reported.Adding CO₂ to the partial oxidation of methane reaction not only alters the ratio of CO/H₂,but also increases the oxygen permeation flux and CH₄ conversion.Around 96%CH₄ conversion with more than 93%CO₂ conversion and 100%CO selectivity is achieved,which shows an excellent reaction performance.A steady oxygen permeation flux of 15 mL/（cm² min） is obtained during the 100-h operation,which shows good stability as well.

With the aim of finding a suitable electrocatalyst for the efficient reduction of carbon dioxide, the electrochemistry of nickel (II) complex of 1,3,6,9,11,14-hexaazatricyclo [12·2·1·1] octadecane was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled-potential electrolysis (CPE) techniques in the presence and absence of CO₂ in 100% H₂O, CH₃CN-H₂O mixtures (20–100%) and DMF-H₂O (70–100%) mixtures. The efficiency of this process is determined using the coulometry technique. CO is the major product in the gaseous phase and HCOOH the sole product formed in the solution phase.     

Estimation of 14CO2 amount in the atmosphere

Carbon from fossil CO₂ emissions, without a significant presence of ¹⁴C, causes dilution of ¹⁴C in the carbon isotopic mixture (Suess effect). Reported ¹⁴C activities are usually connected to radiocarbon amount in the carbon isotopic mixture. Our paper is aimed on estimation of ¹⁴C/¹⁴CO₂ amount in the atmosphere (and its trend), utilizing calculation of a ¹⁴C activity concentration. A parameter connected only with a ¹⁴C quantity in the volume or mass unit of air is not influenced by a fossil carbon amount. Such a “robust” parameter can be influenced only by processes connected with ¹⁴C emissions/depositions.

Conversion of natural gas to C2 hydrocarbons through dielectric-barrier discharge plasma catalysis

The experiments are carried out in the system of continuous flow reactors with dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) for studies on the conversion of natural gas to C₂ hydrocarbons through plasma catalysis under the atmosphere pressure and room temperature. The influence of discharge frequency, structure of electrode, discharge voltage, number of electrode, ratio of H₂/CH₄, flow rate and catalyst on conversion of methane and selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons are investigated. At the same time, the reaction process is investigated. Higher conversion of methane and selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons are achieved and deposited carbons are eliminated by proper choice of parameters. The appropriate operation parameters in dielectric-barrier discharge plasma field are that the supply voltage is 20–40 kV (8.4–40 W), the frequency of power supply is 20 kHz, the structure of (b) electrode is suitable, and the flow of methane is 20–60 mL · min⁻¹. The conversion of methane can reach 45%, the selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons is 76%, and the total selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons and C₃ hydrocarbons is nearly 100%. The conversion of methane increases with the increase of voltage and decreases with the flow of methane increase; the selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons decreases with the increase of voltage and increases with the flow of methane increase. The selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons is improved with catalyst for conversion of natural gas to C₂ hydrocarbons in plasma field. Methane molecule collision with radicals is mainly responsible for product formation.     

含O2高温高压CO2环境中3Cr钢腐蚀产物膜特征

采用高温高压反应釜分别开展3Cr钢在CO2和O2共存、单独CO2和单独O2三种气体条件下的腐蚀实验,利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散X射线能谱(EDS)和电化学方法研究了3Cr钢在高温高压含有O2的CO2环境中的腐蚀产物膜特征.结果表明,在含有O2的CO2的条件下,3Cr钢表面腐蚀产物膜疏松多孔,主要成分为FeCO3、Fe3O4和Fe2O3,腐蚀产物中未见明显Cr元素富集,3Cr钢表现出点蚀的腐蚀形态.3Cr钢在高温高压含O2的CO2腐蚀条件下内外膜层电阻(Rf1、Rf2)和电荷传递电阻Rt均比仅含有CO2腐蚀环境的低,双电层电容(Cdl)和内外膜层电容(Cf1、Cf2)均比仅含有CO2腐蚀环境的高.含有O2的CO2条件下,其保护性显著低于单一CO2条件下形成的腐蚀产物膜.提出了在含O2的CO2气体条件下,3Cr钢表面存在由多种物质组成的腐蚀产物,这导致腐蚀产物疏松多孔,不会形成单一CO2条件下存在的显著提高腐蚀产物膜保护性的Cr(OH)3层,从而促进了3Cr钢的析氢腐蚀和酸性介质中的吸氧腐蚀的机理.

制备工艺对NiFe2O4分解CO2活性的影响

随着大气中CO2浓度的增加,温室效应日趋严重,促使人们对大气中CO2的转化与消除这一课题更加重视。1990年Yutaka Tamaura[1]发现氧缺位磁铁矿几乎可以100%分解CO2后,为解决温室效应提供了一条新的探索途径。通过对不同铁酸盐MFe2O4(M=Fe,Mn[2],Co[3],Zn[4],Ni[5]等)分解CO2活性的考察,发现铁酸镍在300℃分解CO2的活性比其它铁酸盐都好。NiFe2O4的制备最常采用的是共沉淀法、柠檬酸溶胶凝胶法和水热法,3种方法由于制备     

CH3F absorption of the CO2-laser emission measured by the photoacoustic technique

Spectra of coincidence of CH₃F IR absorption with CO₂-laser emission at pressures of 2, 10 and 60 Torr were recorded by the use of a photoacoustic detection method in the whole range of CO₂-laser emission. The spectra show that CH₃F absorbs many CO₂-laser lines in the range 1084–1071 cm⁻¹ with the strongest absorption at 1046.80cm⁻¹, laser line P(20). Absorption is predominantly due to the fundamental of v₃, which is well spread over the whole laser emission range. The intensities of all absorptions rise with increasing pressure, but some absorptions change their relative intensity with respect to one another. In addition, the fine structure of the line spectrum, characteristic of lower pressure samples, disappears as pressure is increased.     

Preparation of ZrO2-TiO2-CeO2 and Its Application in the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3

TiO₂,ZrO₂-TiO₂,andZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ were prepared by co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area measurements (BET), temperature programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), oxygen storage capacity (OSC), and temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). The results showed that ZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ exhibited large number of surface strong acid, possessed some oxygen storage capacity, and strong redox property. The three materials were used as supports and the monolith catalysts were prepared with 1% (w) V₂O₅ and 9% (w)WO₃ for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia in the presence of excessive O₂, and the results of catalytic activity showed that the catalyst used ZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ as support yielded nearly 100% NO conversion at 275 °C at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 10000 h⁻¹, and it had the best catalytic activity and showed great potential for practical application.     

Gram-Scale Synthesis of an Ultrastable Microporous Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Adsorptive Separation of C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/CH4

A highly water and thermally stable metal-organic framework (MOF) Zn₂(Pydc)(Ata)₂ (1, H₂Pydc = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid; HAta = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) was synthesized on a large scale using inexpensive commercially available ligands for efficient separation of C₂H₂ from CH₄ and CO₂. Compound 1 could take up 47.2 mL/g of C₂H₂ under ambient conditions but only 33.0 mL/g of CO₂ and 19.1 mL/g of CH₄. The calculated ideal absorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivities for equimolar C₂H₂/CO₂ and C₂H₂/CH₄ were 5.1 and 21.5, respectively, comparable to those many popular MOFs. The Q_st values for C₂H₂, CO₂, and CH₄ at a near-zero loading in 1 were 43.1, 32.1, and 22.5 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The practical separation performance for C₂H₂/CO₂ mixtures was further confirmed by column breakthrough experiments.
