Niobium phosphates as new highly selective catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

Several niobium phosphate phases have been prepared, fully characterized and tested as catalysts for the selective oxidation of ethane to ethylene. Three distinct niobium phosphate catalysts were prepared, and each was comprised predominantly of a different bulk phase, namely Nb(2)P(4)O(15), NbOPO(4) and Nb(1.91)P(2.82)O(12). All of the niobium phosphate catalysts showed high selectivity towards ethylene, but the best catalyst was Nb(1.91)P(2.82)O(12), which was produced from the reduction of niobium oxide phosphate (NbOPO(4)) by hydrogen. It was particularly selective for ethylene, giving ca. 95% selectivity at 5% conversion, decreasing to ca. 90% at 15% conversion, and only produced low levels of carbon oxides. It was also determined that the only primary product from ethane oxidation over this catalyst was ethylene. Catalyst activity also increased with time-on-line, and this behaviour was ascribed to an increase of the concentration of the Nb(1.91)P(2.82)O(12) phase, as partially transformed NbOPO(4), formed during preparation, was converted to Nb(1.91)P(2.82)O(12) during use. Catalysts with predominant phases of Nb(2)P(4)O(15) and NbOPO(4) also showed appreciable activity and selectivities to ethylene with values around 75% and 85% respectively at 5% ethane conversion. The presence of phosphorous is required to achieve high ethylene selectivity, as orthorhombic and monoclinic Nb(2)O(5) catalysts showed similar activity, but displayed selectivities to ethylene that were <20% under the same reaction conditions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that niobium phosphates have been shown to be highly selective catalysts for the oxidation of ethane to ethylene, and demonstrates that they are worthy candidates for further study.     

助剂P对Ni-Al-O催化剂乙烷氧化脱氢性能的影响

通过一锅水热法制备了一系列磷改性Ni-Al-O催化剂(Px-Ni-Al-O),以O₂为氧化剂,评价了系列催化剂的乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯性能。结果表明,助剂P的掺入不仅可以减小NiO晶粒的尺寸,还影响了Ni和Al之间的相互作用。在350~475℃的温度范围内,P改性Ni-Al-O催化剂上乙烯选择性均高于未改性的催化剂,且适量P的引入还可以提高乙烷转化率。当反应温度为475℃时,P_0.15-Ni-Al-O催化剂上乙烯选择性和收率分别为61.4%和31.9%。此外,P改性后的催化剂表现出较强的抗积碳性能,连续反应22 h不失活。

通过一锅水热法制备了一系列磷改性Ni-Al-O催化剂(P_x-Ni-Al-O),以O₂为氧化剂,评价了系列催化剂的乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯性能。结果表明,助剂P的掺入不仅可以减小NiO晶粒的尺寸,还影响了Ni和Al之间的相互作用。在350～475℃的温度范围内,P改性Ni-Al-O催化剂上乙烯选择性均高于未改性的催化剂,且适量P的引入还可以提高乙烷转化率。当反应温度为475℃时,P_0.15-Ni-Al-O催化剂上乙烯选择性和收率分别为61.4%和31.9%。此外,P改性后的催化剂表现出较强的抗积碳性能,连续反应22 h不失活。     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over movmnw oxide catalysts

Catalysts based on mixed oxide of MoVMn are active at relatively low temperature for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. Incorporation of tungsten into MoVMn oxides enhances the catalytic activity. Enhancement of the activity is explained in the light of acid-base interaction accompanied with a redox mechanism of surface reoxidation. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Modification of VPO catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

Based on the previously discussed hypothesis concerning the mechanism of conversion of paraffins, we have modified the structure of VPO catalysts by developing the (220) plane of VOHPO₄·0.5H₂O and introducing a bismuth additive. We have shown that this leads to an increase in the P/V ratio on the surface, an increase in the number of Lewis centers and the strength of such centers, and a change in the ratio of Lewis centers to Brönsted centers. The change in the surface characteristics of the samples, in accordance with the hypotheses, improves their properties in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane, increasing the catalytic activity and the yield of the target product ethylene.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over sufated zirconia supported oxides catalysts

The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane into ethylene has been investigated on metal oxide-based sulfated zirconia catalysts at temperatures of 400–600°C. It is found that the activity and selectivity toward ethylene depend on the nature of metal oxide and temperature and that Ni and V oxides supported on sulfated zirconia exhibited higher ethylene yields.     

Phosphated ceria,selective catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of isobutane over pure ceria and phosphated ceria catalysts, containing two different amounts of phosphorus, was examined at temperatures ranging from 450 to 610 °C. The catalysts were characterized using nitrogen adsorption, DRX, SEM, EDX, XPS and TPR techniques. Adding phosphorus to ceria and increasing the phosphorus content results in a modification of the physicochemical characteristics of the catalyst, the redox ability of the catalytic material being strongly diminished. At the same time, by adding phosphorus to ceria and increasing the phosphorus content, a decrease of the catalytic activity accompanied by an important increase of the selectivity for isobutene, mainly at the expense of carbon oxides, was observed. A compensation effect in catalysis was also observed for the isobutane conversion on this series of catalysts.     

Preparation of MoVTe(Sb)Nb mixed oxide catalysts using a slurry method for selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

The preparation of bulk MoVTe(Sb)Nb mixed oxide catalysts using a traditional slurry method, results in highly active catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethene. Several major phases including orthorhombic M1, hexagonal M2 or Mo_xM_1−xO_2.8 (M = V or Nb) have been detected in the catalysts from characterization results such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and EDX analyses. Ethane conversion and yield to ethene increase with increasing content of the M1 phase in the catalysts. The maximum yield of ethene (ca. 87% selectivity and ca. 90% conversion, STY_C2H4 of 176 g  h⁻¹) has been obtained with a MoV_0.31Te_0.2Nb_0.14 mixed oxide catalyst, calcined at 873 K under nitrogen, containing almost pure orthorhombic M1 phase and small amounts of unidentified impurity phases, operating at a relatively low reaction temperature of 673 K. The orthorhombic M1 phase has been shown to be the most active in ethane activation and the most selective for ethene formation. The hexagonal M2 phase is relatively inactive in ethane activation and less selective for ethene formation. The Te-free phases such as Sb₄Mo₁₀O₃₁ and Mo_xM_1−xO_2.8 (M = V or Nb) show the lowest selectivity to ethene.     

乙烷在氧化镍上催化氧化脱氢的反应机理研究

应用O~2-TPD,脉冲实验,原位Weiss磁测量以及TAP(temporalanalysisofproducts)技术对NiO上的乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯催化作用机理进行了研究。结果表明,NiO中的非化学计量氧表现出与气相氧交换的可逆性,其中在较低温度下脱附的α氧(很可能是O~2^-,O~2^2^-)仅存在于催化剂表面,与气相氧交换迅速,而较高温下脱附的β氧(很可能是O^-)不仅存在于催化剂表面,还存在于催化剂体相。β氧较α氧表现出更高的乙烯选择性。在反应条件下,Ni均应处于高氧化态(Ni^(^2^+^δ^)^+,0≤δ≤1),一旦催化剂中有微量Ni^0生成,乙烷便发生裂解反应,乙烯选择性立即降为零。乙烷在NiO上的氧化脱氢(ODHE)的可能反应机理为:首先乙烷与NiO中的非化学计量氧O~n(~s~)作用脱除一个α-H生成乙基自由基,然后进一步脱除一个β-H生成乙烯,乙烯生成的整个过程是在催化剂表面上进行的;副产物CO~2是由表面乙烯进一步氧化(很可能是与O~2^-,O~2^2^-作用)生成的。失去O~n~(~s~)的NiO在反应体系(一定的氧分压)中,重新生成含非化学计量氧的NiO。     

Catalytic activity in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over Ni and/or Co molybdate catalysts: Synthesis and characterization

Ni and/or Co molybdate based catalysts were synthetized by co-precipitation for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane reaction. The catalysts were characterized by several techniques such TGA-DTA, HT-XRD, XRD, LRS, N₂ adsorption, XPS and TPR. The results showed that the addition of Ni or Co to MMoO₄matrices (M=Ni or Co) led to a high dispersion of additives into the molybdenum matrix without the formation of a significant amount of other bulk metal oxides. Compared to the pure MMoO₄, the modified molybdenum (Ni_0.5Co_0.5MoO₄) presents a higher thermal stability (up to 1000 °C). It has a lower BET surface area and higher reduction temperature compared to those of the NiMoO₄ sample. In the ODH of ethane, Ni_0.5Co_0.5MoO₄ shows a lower catalytic activity compared to that of MMoO₄ samples; however, the ethylene selectivity is enhanced (exceeding 90%). As a result, these series of catalysts show improved efficiency for ethylene production in the ethane ODH reaction.     

羟基化氮化硼催化乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯

乙烯是最为重要的化工原料之一,目前其工业来源主要来自于烃类的水蒸汽裂解过程.该过程本质上是一个高温均相裂解过程,温度(>800?℃)高,能耗大,碳排放严重.乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯属于放热反应,反应温度低,速率快,无积碳等限制,是一条更富有竞争力的工艺路线.然而,常用的金属或金属氧化物催化剂容易导致乙烯深度氧化,从而降低了乙烯选择性.纳米碳材料在烃类氧化脱氢反应中展现出一定的催化活性,但容易被氧化,难以用于反应温度高的乙烷氧化脱氢反应.本文报道了羟基化的氮化硼(BNOH)可高效催化乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯.氮化硼边沿羟基官能团脱氢生成了动态活性位,从而引发了乙烷的脱氢反应.BNOH对乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯显示出高选择性.当乙烷转化率在11%,乙烯选择性可高达95%;当乙烷转化率增加到40%,乙烯选择性保持在90%.重要的是,当乙烷转化率超过60%时,BNOH仍然可保持80%的乙烯选择性以及50%的乙烯收率.这些性能指标与现有工业乙烷水蒸气裂解过程运行性能相当.进一步优化反应条件,BNOH催化剂能够实现高达9.1 gC2H4 gcat-1 h-1的时空收率.经过200 h的氧化脱氢反应测试,BNOH催化剂活性和选择性基本恒定,表明其具有非常好的稳定性.X射线粉末衍射结果显示,反应前后BNOH催化剂的物相没有发生变化.透射电子显微镜测试证实,反应后BNOH催化剂的形貌和微观结构也没有明显改变.X射线光电子能谱结果显示,反应200 h后BNOH催化剂表面的氧含量仅从反应前的6.9 atom%微增到8.3 atom%.1H固体核磁共振谱测试显示,反应200 h后,BNOH催化剂上羟基含量无明显改变.结合原位透射红外光谱和同位素示踪实验,初步确定了BNOH催化剂上引发乙烷氧化脱氢反应的活性中心.氮化硼边沿的氧官能团并不能引发乙烷的氧化脱氢反应,而羟基官能团才是氧化脱氢反应发生的活性位.在乙烷氧化脱氢条件下,分子氧脱除羟基官能团上的氢原子动态生成BNO·?和HO2·?活性位.密度泛函理论计算表明,乙烷首先在BNO·?或HO2·?位活化生成乙基自由基,这些中间物进一步与气相氧物种发生反应脱氢生成乙烯.动力学测试结果也验证了上述实验和理论结果.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with carbon dioxide over sulfated zirconia supported metal oxides catalysts

Several metal oxides supported on sulfated zirconia catalysts were tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane into ethylene by carbon dioxide. It is found that the catalytic behavior of supported oxide catalysts differ depending on the nature of metal oxides. Chromium oxide-sulfated zirconia exhibits the highest ethane conversion and medium level of ethylene selectivity, producing 38% ethylene yield at 50% ethane conversion at 650°C.

The role of water in promoting the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

The addition of water vapor has a strong positive effect on the rate of ethane oxidation at 575°C. This effect is attributed to the role of H₂O as a third body in the decomposition of H₂O₂ to OH radicals. Carbon tetrafluoride likewise enhances the rate of ethane conversion, although not to the extent realized with H₂O. A kinetic model, based on known elementary reactions, adequately accounts for the conversions and selectivities observed as a function of H₂O pressure, temperature, contact time, and O₂ pressure. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Promoted catalytic performances of highly dispersed V-doped SBA-16 catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene

V-doped SBA-16 catalysts（V-SBA-16） with 3D nanocage mesopores have been successfully synthesized by a modified one-pot method under weak acid condition.The obtained materials were characterized by means of small angle XRD,N₂ adsorption–desorption,TEM,UV–Vis and UV-Raman spectroscopy.These characterization results indicated that well-order mesoporous structures were maintained even at higher vanadium loadings and high concentration of VOx species were incorporated into the framework of SBA-16 support.The catalytic performances of V-SBA-16,V/SBA-16 and V/Si O₂ catalysts were comparatively investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene.The highest selectivity to ethylene of 63.3% and ethylene yield of 25.6% were obtained over 1.0V-SBA-16 catalyst.The superior catalytic performance of V-SBA-16 catalysts could be attributed to the presence of isolated framework VO x species,the unique structure of SBA-16 support and weak acidity.Moreover,V/Si O₂ catalyst exhibited relatively poor catalytic activity duo to the formation of V₂O₅ nanoparticles on the surface of Si O₂ support and the low dispersion of VO x species.These results indicated that the catalytic performances of the studied catalysts were strongly dependent on the vanadium loading,the nature and neighboring environment of VO x species and the structure of support.
