CO2 reforming of methane over nickel catalysts supported on nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 with high surface area

In this paper dry reforming of methane (DRM) was carried out over nanocrystalline MgAl2O4-supported Ni catalysts with various Ni loadings. Nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 spinel with high specific surface area was synthesized by a co-precipitation method with the addition of pluronic P123 triblock copolymer as surfactant, and employed as catalyst support. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, H2 chemisorption, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO), temperature- programmed desorption (TPD) and transmission and scanning electron microscopies (TEM, SEM) techniques. The obtained results showed that the catalyst support has a nanocrystalline structure (crystal size: about 5 nm) with a high specific surface area (175 m2 g-1) and a mesoporous structure. Increasing in nickel content decreased the specific surface area and nickel dispersion. The prepared catalysts showed high catalytic activity and stability during the reaction. SEM analysis revealed that whisker type carbon deposited over the spent catalysts and increasing in nickel loading increased the amount of deposited carbon. The nickel catalyst with 7 wt% of nickel showed the highest catalytic activity.     

Application of Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation to Treatment of Landfill Leachate on Co／Bi Catalyst

Catalytic wet air oxidation(CWAO) was employed to reduce the organic compounds in landfill leachate and the effects of temperature, oxygen pressure, catalyst dosage, and concentration of the organic compounds on the TOC and CODcr removal rates were studied. The degradation kinetics of landfill leachate was also investigated and an exponential experiential model consisting of four influential factors was established to describe the reduction of the organic compounds in the landfill leachate. Meanwhile, the GC-MS technique was used to detect the components of the organic intermediates for the inference of the decomposition mechanisms of the organic compounds in landfill leachate. The results reveal that the reaction temperature and the catalyst dosage are the most important factors affecting the degradation reaction of the organic compounds and that the principal intermediates confirmed by GC-MS are organic acids at a percentage of more than 88% with no aldehydes or alcohols detected. The decomposition mechanisms of the organic compounds in landfill leachate were inferred based on the GC-MS information as follows;the activated gas phase O2 captured the hydrogen of the organic pollutants to produce free radicals, which then initiated the catalytic reaction. So most of the organic compounds were oxidized into CO2 and H2O ultimately. In general, catalytic wet air oxidation over catalyst Co3O4/Bi2O3 was a very promising technique for the treatment of landfill leachate.     

钨酸钠催化芳香腈高选择性氧化制备芳香酰胺

 The preparation of aryl amides by selective oxidation of aryl nitriles using sodium tungstate as catalyst and sodium percarbonate or sodium carbonate-hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant in a methanol and water solution was studied. Aryl nitriles were converted to aryl amides with very high selectivity of 95%～100% at room temperature. The reactivity of aryl nitriles decreased with increasing their branched chain length. In the oxidation of tolunitriles, the oxidation rate of p-tolunitrile and m-tolunitrile was very fast, but the oxidation rate of o-tolunitrile was very slow. The oxidation rate of p-haloid aryl nitriles and p-nitro aryl nitrile decreased in the order p-nitrobenzonitrile＞p-chlorobenzonitrile＞p-bromobenzonitrile, while the selectivity for aryl amides was maintained at a high level of 98%～100%. The comparison of the two oxidants showed that when sodium carbonate-hydrogen peroxide was used as oxidant, the oxidation rate and selectivity were better than that when percarbonate was used. The sodium tungstate catalyst and carbonate can be reused and the catalytic activity and selectivity did not change if a suitable amount of hydrogen peroxide was supplied. This work provides a convenient method for the preparation of aryl amides from aryl nitriles under very mild reaction conditions.     

Catalytic combustion of soot particulates over La_(2-x)K_xNiMnO_6 catalysts

Nanosized La2-xKxNiMnO6 catalysts with ABO3 type perovskite-like structure were prepared by auto-combustion method using citric acid as a ligand to control particle size and morphology.The structures and properties of these perovskite-like oxides were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD)and temperature-programmed reduction(TPR).The catalytic activities for soot combustion were evaluated by temperature- programmed oxidation(TPO)with pure O2 and O2/NOx as oxidant,respectively.In the La2-xKxNiMnO6 catalysts,the partial substitution of K at A-site leads to an increase of the concentrations of high valence cation and oxygen vacancy,which enhance the catalytic activity for soot combustion.The optimal substitution amount of K was equal to x=0.4 among these samples.Tp(peak temperature)in O2-TPO profile was 420-C and Tp in O2/NOx-TPO profile was 370-C over La1.6K0.4NiMnO6 catalyst for soot particulates combustion under loose contact conditions between catalyst and soot.     

Pt/FeSnO(OH)_5: A Novel Supported Pt Catalyst for Catalytic Oxidation of Benzene

Pt/FeSnO(OH)_5 was synthesized as a novel catalyst for VOCs oxidation. Compared with Pt/γ-Al_2O_3 during catalytic oxidation of benzene, Pt/Fe Sn O(OH)5 showed better catalytic activity. After characterization of the catalysts by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, BET, TGA and DTA, we found most Pt could be reduced to metallic state when the hydroxyl catalyst was used as supporter, and the metallic Pt in Pt/Fe Sn O(OH)5 was more active than the oxidized Pt in Pt/γ-Al_2O_3 in catalytic oxidation of VOCs. Pt/FeSnO(OH)_5 shows both good catalytic activity and high stability, which may be a promising catalyst. This study may also be helpful for the design and fabrication of new catalysts.     

Synthesis gas production on glass cloth catalysts modified by Ni and Co oxides

The catalytic activity of nanostructured low percent (1%) Co-Ni catalysts on the basis of glass fiber (GF) prepared by a"solution combustion" (SC) method was studied.The catalytic activity of the prepared samples was studied in the reaction of dry reforming of methane (DRM) with CO2.The obtained samples were characterized by a number of physico-chemical methods,including XRD,SEM,TEM,TGA and AFM.The active component was shown to be dispersed in the near-surface layer of the support as nanoparticles of 10—20 nm in size.The active component showed a Co3O4 or(Co,Ni)Co2O4 spinel structure,depending on the catalyst composition.The spinel structure of the active component interacted strongly with the carrier,providing resistance to carbonization,high catalytic activity toward DRM,and high activity and stability in oxidation reactions.     

Syngas production by combined carbon dioxide reforming and partial oxidation of methane over Ni/α-Al_2O_3 catalysts

Ni/α-Al2O3 catalysts were found to be active in the temperature range 600 ～ 900℃ for both CO2 reforming and partial oxidation of methane.The effects of Ni loading,reaction temperature and feed gas ratio for the combination of CO2 reforming and partial oxidation of CH4 over Ni/α-Al2O3 were investigated.Catalysts of xwt%Ni/α-Al2O3(x=2.5,5,8 and 12) were prepared by wet impregnating the calcined support with a solution of nickel nitrate.XRD patterns and activity tests have verified that the 5wt%Ni/α-Al2O3 was the most active catalyst,as compared with the other prepared catalyst samples.An increase of the Ni loading to more than 5wt% led to a reduction in the Ni dispersion.In addition,by combining the endothermic carbon dioxide reforming reaction with the exothermic partial oxidation reaction,the loss of catalyst activity with time on stream was reduced with the amount of oxygen added to the feed.     

Synthesis of porous hematite nanorods loaded with CuO nanocrystals as catalysts for CO oxidation

Porous hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorods with the diameter of 20-40 nm and the length of 80-300 nm were synthesized by a simple surfactant-assisted method in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).The α-Fe2O3 nanorods possess a mesostructure with a pore size distribution in the range of 5-12 nm and high surface area,exhibiting high catalytic activity for CO oxidation.CuO nanocrystals were loaded on the surface of porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods by a deposition-precipitation method,and the catalysts exhibited superior activity for catalytic oxidation of CO,as compared with commercial α-Fe2O3 powders supported CuO catalyst.The enhanced catalytic activity was attributed to the strong interaction between the CuO nanocrystals and the support of porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods.     

Selective Oxidation of Propane by Lattice Oxygen of Vanadium-Phosphorous Oxide in a Pulse Reactor

Selective oxidation of propane by lattice oxygen of vanadium-phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts was investigated with a pulse reactor in which the oxidation of propane and the re-oxidation of catalyst were implemented alternately in the presence of water vapor. The principal products are acrylic acid (AA),acetic acid (HAc), and carbon oxides. In addition, small amounts of C1 and C2 hydrocarbons were also found, molar ratio of AA to HAc is 1.4-2.2. The active oxygen species are those adsorbed on catalyst surface firmly and/or bound to catalyst lattice, i.e. lattice oxygen; the selective oxidation of propane on VPO catalysts can be carried out in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser reactor. For propane oxidation over VPO catalysts, the effects of reaction temperature in a pulse reactor were found almost the same as in a steady-state flow reactor. That is, as the reaction temperature increases, propane conversion and the amount of C1 C2 hydrocarbons in the product increase steadily, while selectivity to acrylic acid and to acetic acid increase prior to 350℃ then begin to drop at temperatures higher than 350℃, and yields of acrylic acid and of acetic acid attained maximum at about 400℃. The maximum yields of acrylic acid and of acetic acid for a single-pass are 7.50% and 4.59% respectively, with 38.2% propane conversion. When theamount of propane pulsed decreases or the amount of catalyst loaded increases, the conversion increases but the selectivity decreases. Increasing the flow rate of carrier gases causes the conversion pass through a minimum but selectivity and yields pass through a maximum. In a fixed bed reactor, it is hard to obtainhigh selectivity at a high reaction conversion due to the further degradation of acrylic acid and acetic acid even though propane was oxidized by the lattice oxygen. The catalytic performance can be improved inthe presence of excess propane. Propylene can be oxidized by lattice oxygen of VPO catalyst at 250℃, nevertheless, selectivity to AA and to HAc are even lower, much more acetic acid was produced (molar ratio of AA to HAc is 0.19:1-0.83:1) though the oxidation products are the same as from propane.
