CuO/CeO2催化剂的催化氧化性能及其表征

用CO流动反应法 ,程序升温还原 (TPR) ,光电子能谱 (XPS)和X射线衍射Rietveld分析等技术研究了CuO ,CeO2 及CuO/CeO2 各组分催化剂。结果表明 :单组分的CuO和CeO2 对CO的氧化活性较低 ,但CuO与CeO2 形成复合氧化物后 ,其CO氧化活性明显提高 ,这可能与铜物种在CeO2 表面的价态 (Cu2 + 和Cu+ ) ,分散状态和还原性能有关。CuO在CeO2 上的负载量对铜物种在CeO2 表面形成的价态 (Cu2 + 和Cu+ )至关重要 ,CuO的负载量为 1 0 %时 ,XPS检测不到Cu2p3/2 (eV)结合能 ;当CuO的负载量为 5 0 %时 ,CuO主要以Cu2 + 和Cu+ 形式存在 ,而负载量大于 5 0 %时 ,CuO则以Cu2 + 形式存在。由于形成了CuO/CeO2 复合氧化物 ,使离子半径小于Ce4 + 的CuO进入了CeO2 晶格 ;当CuO的负载量达到 5 0 %时 ,CuO的晶粒尺寸值为最小 ( 6 1nm) ,而晶格畸变值为最大 ( 2 86× 10 - 3) ,此时 ,催化剂具有较高的表面能和最佳的CO氧化活性     

助剂SiO2对CO2加氢制二甲醚催化剂Cu-ZnO/HZSM-5性能的影响

Influence of copper precursors in the steam reforming of methanol over Cu/SnO2/SiO2 catalysts

Cu/SnO₂/SiO₂ catalysts, prepared with three different copper precursors (copper nitrate, sulfate and chloride), were characterized and investigated for the steam reforming of methanol. Cu/SnO₂/SiO₂ catalyst, prepared with copper nitrate, showed the highest activity among the tested catalysts. The highest activity of the catalyst prepared with copper nitrate was ascribed to the highly dispersed Cu particles from CO adsorption experiment. The selectivity of methanol to H₂ decreased with an increase in the amount of acid on the surface of Cu/SnO₂/SiO₂ catalysts from FT-IR experiments.This revised version was published online in December 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Preparation of CuO/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Hollow Spheres for Catalytic Oxidation of Phenol

Porous CuO/SiO₂ hollow microspheres were synthesized via an impregnation method using pure SiO₂ hollow microspheres as the supporter, and Cu species as the functional material. The hollow microspheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET surface area, temperature-programmed reduction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic activities of the CuO/SiO₂ hollow microspheres were investigated via the removal of the total chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the oxidation of phenol solution with air as an oxidant. The influence of various reaction parameters such as the reaction temperature, the partial pressure of O₂, and the initial pH of the solution were studied in detail. The coordination, dispersion and aggregation degree of copper species on porous materials play an important role for the COD removal of the phenol aqueous solution.     

Production of hydrogen by oxidative steam reforming of methanol over Cu/SiO2 catalysts

Selective production of hydrogen by oxidative steam reforming of methanol (OSRM) was studied over Cu/SiO₂ catalyst using fixed bed flow reactor. Textural and structural properties of the catalyst were analyzed by various instrumental methods. TPR analysis illustrates that the reduction temperature peak was observed between 510?K and 532?K at various copper loadings and calcination temperatures and the peaks shifted to higher temperature with increasing copper loading and calcination temperature. The XRD and XPS analysis demonstrates that the copper existed in different oxidation states at different conditions: Cu₂O, Cu⁰, CuO and Cu(OH)₂ in uncalcined sample; CuO in calcined sample: Cu₂O and metallic Cu after reduction at 600?K and Cu⁰ and CuO after catalytic test. TEM analysis reveals that at various copper loadings, the copper particle size is in the range between 3.0?nm and 3.8?nm. The Cu particle size after catalytic test increased from 3.6 to 4.8?nm, which is due to the formation of oxides of copper as evidenced from XRD and XPS analysis. The catalytic performance at various Cu loadings shows that with increasing Cu loading from 4.7 to 17.3?wt%, the activity increases and thereafter it decreases. Effect of calcination shows that the sample calcined at 673?K exhibited high activity. The O₂/CH₃OH and H₂O/CH₃OH molar ratios play important role in reaction rate and product distribution. The optimum molar ratios of O₂/CH₃OH and H₂O/CH₃OH are 0.25 and 0.1, respectively. When the reaction temperature varied from 473 to 548?K, the methanol conversion and H₂ production rate are in the range of 21.9–97.5% and 1.2–300.9?mmol?kg^?1?s^?1, respectively. The CO selectivity is negligible at these temperatures. Under the optimum conditions (17.3?wt%, Cu/SiO₂; calcination temperature 673?K; 0.25 O₂/CH₃OH molar ratio, 0.5 H₂O/CH₃OH molar ratio and reaction temperature 548?K), the maximum hydrogen yield obtained was 2.45?mol of hydrogen per mole of methanol. The time on stream stability test showed that the Cu/SiO₂ catalyst is quite stable for 48?h.     

Hydroxylation of phenol over ts-2, a titanium silicate molecular sieve

The influence of different process parameters on the hydroxylation of phenol with H₂O₂ over the titanium silicate molecular sieve TS-2 has been investigated. Apart from the primary products vis., p- and o-dihydroxybenzenes, the corresponding quinones are also formed. Higher Ti contents in the catalyst (TS-2) and higher catalyst concentrations lower the formation of the secondary oxidation products. Solvents have an influence on the relative amounts of the two dihydroxybenzenes in the product. H₂O₂ efficiency of up to 74% is obtainable at ∼ 28% phenol conversion to dihydroxybenzenes.     

Surface characterization and catalytic evaluation of copper-promoted Al-MCM-41 toward hydroxylation of phenol

The Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (MCM-41) containing Cu and Al with Si/Al ratios varying from 100 to 10 and 1 to 6 wt.% of Cu was synthesized under hydrothermal and impregnation conditions, respectively. The samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis DRS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), and ²⁹Si and ²⁷Al magic-angle spinning–nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS–NMR) spectra. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the modified materials retain the standard MCM-41 structure. TPR patterns show the two-step reduction of Cu species. TPD study shows that Cu-impregnated Al-MCM-41 samples are more acidic than Al-MCM-41. From the MAS–NMR it was confirmed that most of the Al atoms are present tetrahedrally within the framework and some are present octahedrally in extraframework position. Impregnation of Cu shifted Al to the extraframework position. The catalytic activity of the samples toward hydroxylation of phenol in aqueous medium was evaluated using H₂O₂ as the oxidant at 80 °C. The effects of reaction parameters such as temperature, catalyst amount, amount of H₂O₂, and solvent were also investigated. Sample containing 4 wt.% copper-loaded Al-MCM-41-100 showed high phenol conversion (78%) with 68% catechol and 32% hydroquinone selectivity.     

Reactive adsorption of hydrogen sulfide by promoted sorbents Cu‐ZnO/SiO2: active sites by experiment and simulation

In the Cu_x‐Zn_(1‐x)O/SiO₂ sorbents for ultradeep adsorptive removal of H₂S from gaseous fuel reformates for fuel cells at room temperature, Cu promoter sites significantly increase sulfur uptake capacity of the sorbents. We report characterization of the family of Cu_x‐Zn_(1‐x)O/SiO₂ sorbents for reactive adsorption of H₂S using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET) surface area analysis, electron spin resonance (ESR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and calculations by the density functional theory (DFT). Both the supported ZnO phase and Cu promoter sites in the Cu_x‐Zn_(1‐x)O/SiO₂ sorbents are nano‐dispersed, as shown by XRD. The Cu_x‐Zn_(1‐x)O/SiO₂ sorbents contain Cu promoter as the Cu²⁺ site of octahedral geometry, as found by the complementary ESR and UV–vis DRS. Mechanism of the promoter effect of the Cu²⁺ site in the Cu_x‐Zn_(1‐x)O/SiO₂ sorbents in reaction with H₂S is proposed based on DFT calculations. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Direct photo-oxidation of benzene to phenol over Ti/Si binary oxide prepared by sol-gel method

Titanium-silicon (Ti/Si) binary oxides having a varying Ti content were prepared using the sol-gel method and used as photocatalysts. The photo-oxidation of benzene to phenol was carried out using Ti/Si binary oxide catalysts in the presence of benzene, water and gaseous oxygen. The amounts of benzene used hardly affected the phenol yield. On the other hand, the addition of sulfuric acid into reaction solution led to the improvement of phenol formation. The H₂O₂ formation rate seemed to be related to the phenol yeilds. The photocatalytic reactivity of Ti/Si binary oxide having different TiO₂ contents was investigated and it was found to be dramatically enhanced in the range of lower TiO₂ contents. XANES, ESR and XRD spectroscopic investigations of these Ti/Si binary oxide catalysts indicated that Ti species were highly dispersed in SiO₂ matrices and existed in a tetrahedral coordination. The photo-irradiation of catalysts having tetrahedral Ti species seemed to effectively lead to the formation of H₂O₂ as an intermediate.     

Co或Ni促进的Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂上丙三醇和苯胺气相合成3-甲基吲哚

对丙三醇和苯胺在Co或Ni促进的Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂上气相合成3-甲基吲哚进行了研究.采用N2吸附、氢气程序升温还原(H2-TPR)、电感耦合等离子体(ICP)发射光谱、X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、氨程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)及热重(TG)分析等技术对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,向Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂加入钴或镍助剂改善了催化剂的催化性能,钴比镍更加有效.在催化剂Cu-Co/SiO2-Al2O3和Cu-Ni/SiO2-Al2O3上,反应第3 h,3-甲基吲哚收率分别达到47%和45%,而且催化剂经过6次再生收率仍能达到44%和42%.各种表征表明,向Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂加入钴或镍助剂能增强铜和载体之间的相互作用,其结果不仅促进了铜粒子在载体表面的分散度,而且有效减少了反应过程中铜组分的流失.另外,加入钴或镍助剂还能减少催化剂的中强酸中心数,从而提高3-甲基吲哚的选择性,并且抑制积炭的形成.此外,钴助剂还能增加催化剂的弱酸中心数,促进3-甲基吲哚的生成.提出了金属铜与弱酸中心共同促进3-甲基吲哚合成的催化反应机理.     

Reductive amination of cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone to cyclohexylamine using SBA-15 supported copper catalysts

Amination of cyclohexanol was investigated in vapour phase over copper catalysts supported on mesoporous SBA-15. The different products identified during reductive amination of cyclohexanol reaction were cyclohexanone, cyclohexylamine, along with small amounts of N-Cyclohexylidinecyclohexylamine and dicyclohexylamine. Among several catalysts tested for the reductive amination, 5% Cu supported on SBA-15 exhibited better catalytic performance than other catalysts with 36% selectivity towards cylclohexylamine at 80% cyclohexanol conversion. The optimum reaction conditions employed to achieve the best catalyst performance were at 250 °C, 0.1 MPa of H₂/NH₃, TOS-10h. The active Cu sites, acidity of the catalyst, and effect of reaction parameters play a pivotal role in the reductive amination reaction. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, H₂-TPR and NH₃-TPD. The dispersion of Cu, particle size, and metal surface area (m²/g) calculated from pulse N₂O decomposition method. TPR findings reveal the presence of substantially dispersed copper oxide species at lower loadings which is easily reducible than the bulk copper oxide species found at higher Cu loadings. The acidity measurements by NH₃-TPD analysis suggest that the maximum acidic strength was obtained at 5 wt% copper on porous SBA-15, and decreased with Cu loadings. The catalytic properties are well in agreement with the findings of catalysts characterization.     

Fabrication and characterization of composition-gradient CuO/SiO2 composite aerogel

With tetramethoxysilane as the silica precursor, CuCl₂·2H₂O as the copper–oxide precursor, acetonitrile as the solvent and gelled by PO via a sol–gel process, the CuO/SiO₂ composite aerogel was fabricated. By adjusting the amount of CuCl₂·2H₂O, CuO/SiO₂ composite aerogels with different molar ratio of Cu/Si such as 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 35 % was prepared. Finally, via a self-built device and sol-co-gelation technic, a continuous formation process was developed to fabricate the composition-gradient CuO/SiO₂ composite aerogel. Density of these aerogels was about 200 mg/cm³, the composition-gradient CuO/SiO₂ composite aerogel was cylindrical and about 2.5 cm in height. Scanning electron microscope was used to characterize its microstructure at different position. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer were used to characterize its composition and composition distribution, the results showed that the cylindrical CuO/SiO₂ composite aerogel’s molar ratio of Cu/Si changed from 31.06 to 4.43 % as the measure point from the bottom up, the whole sample displayed obvious composition-gradient.
