TPR studies on steam reforming of 2-propanol on Rh/Al2O3, Ru/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3

Reaction pathways for steam reforming of 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol, IPA) on Rh/Al₂O₃, Ru/Al₂O₃ and Pd/Al₂O₃ have been studied by temperature-programmed reactions (TPRs) of IPA and acetone in the presence of steam. The results of TPRs suggest that that of IPA on Rh/Al₂O₃ and Ru/Al₂O₃ proceeds via acetone, while the steam reforming of IPA on Pd/Al₂O₃ takes place via propene from acetone.

浆态床中Cu/ZnO/Al2O3/ZrO2+γ-Al2O3双功能催化剂一步法合成二甲醚

采用共沉淀法,制备了纤维状CD501甲醇合成催化剂,采用SEM、TEM、XRD和BET等手段对催化剂进行了表征;并将其进一步和γ-Al₂O₃进行混合,获得了Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃/ZrO₂+γ-Al₂O₃双功能催化剂,考察了其在浆态床中一步法合成二甲醚过程的催化特性。结果表明,相比商业催化剂(COM)和LP201催化剂,新型的CD501催化剂具有更大的比表面积和Cu/Zn分散性。对于浆态床中一步法合成二甲醚过程,采用CD501与γ-Al₂O₃双功能催化剂,相比采用COM或LP201与γ-Al₂O₃双功能催化剂,CO转化率提高了一倍,且经过270h测试,CO转化率从61%降至57%,二甲醚时空产率从0.54g/(g·h)降至0.48g/(g·h),稳定性显著优于COM催化剂。当反应温度为250℃,压力为4.0MPa,空速为3000mL/(g·h),氢碳比为1.0时,该催化剂应用在浆态床一步法合成二甲醚时,CO转化率为61%,DME时空产率达到0.54g/(g·h)。     

Selective catalytic reduction of NO over metal oxide or noble metal-doped In2O3/Al2O3 catalysts by propene in the presence of oxygen

The activities of metal oxide CuO, SnO₂, CoO, Ag₂O, ZnO or noble metal Pt, Pd, Rh-doped In₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by propene were investigated. The temperature windows for NO reduction over noble metal-doped In₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts were shifted and broaden slightly compared with single component catalyst alone.

Two-stage catalytic system of Sn/Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3for NO reduction by propene in lean conditions

The Pt/Al₂O₃, Sn/Al₂O₃catalysts were prepared by the single sol-gel method. The two-stage Sn/Al₂O₃and Pt/Al₂O₃catalyst in series for NO reduction with propene were investigated. The coexistance of water vapor enhanced the activity at medium temperature of 300-400^oC, and the NO conversion was above 50% at 225 to 500^oC even in the presence of water vapor and SO₂.

Improvement of stability of a Fe/Mg/Al2O3 catalyst for the decomposition of methane in the presence of O2/CO2

The stability of an Fe/Al₂O₃ catalyst in the methane decomposition in the presence of O₂/CO₂ was found to be improved by the addition of Mg into the catalyst (Mg/Fe=1/1 wt ratio), probably due to suppression of carbon deposition even under CH₄/ O₂/CO₂ (80/10/5 vol. ratio) conditions.

NO reduction with C3H8 on Co/Al2O3 catalyst. effect of O2 concentration

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by propane in excess oxygen-containing gas mixture was studied on Co/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The oxygen concentration is very important for the reaction. The NO conversion to N₂ without oxygen is 3% at 800 K and when the O₂ concentration is raised up to 8% the NO conversion reaches its maximum value of 60% at 800 K. Characterization results by TPR and UV-Vis spectroscopy show that in the catalyst, species strongly interacting with tetrahedral and octahedral Co²⁺ ions in the support are present.

Effect of Al2O3 Binder on the Precipitated Iron-Based Catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

A series of iron-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts incorporated with Al2O3 binder were prepared by the combination of co-precipitation and spray drying technology. The catalyst samples were characterized by using N2 physical adsorption, temperature-programmed reduc-tion/desorption (TPR/TPD) and Mossbauer effect spectroscopy (MES) methods. The characterization results indicated that the BET surface area increases with increasing Al2O3 content and passes through a maximum at the Al2O3/Fe ratio of 10/100 (weight basis). After the point, it decreases with further increase in Al2O3 content. The incorporation of AI2O3 binder was found to weaken the surface basicity and suppress the reduction and carburization of iron-based catalysts probably due to the strong K-Al2O3 and Fe-Al2O3 interactions. Furthermore, the H2 adsorption ability of the catalysts is enhanced with increasing Al2O3 content. The FTS performances of the catalysts were tested in a slurry-phase continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) under the reaction conditions of 260℃, 1.5 MPa, 1000 h-1 and molar ratio of H2/CO 0.67 for 200 h. The results showed that the addition of small amounts of Al2O3 affects the activity of iron-based catalysts to a little extent. However, with further increase of Al2O3 content, the FTS activity and water gas shift reaction (WGS) activity are decreased severely. The addition of appropriate Al2O3 do not affect the product selectivity, but the catalysts incorporated with large amounts of Al2O3 have higher selectivity for light hydrocarbons and lower selectivity for heavy hydrocarbons.     

Ce含量对Ni-Ce/Al_2O_3催化剂结构及浆态床CO甲烷化性能的影响

以γ-Al2O3为载体,采用等体积浸渍法制备了不同Ce含量的Ni-Ce/Al2O3催化剂,并考察了其浆态床CO甲烷化反应性能。借助XRD、BET、H2-TPR及CO-TPD等对催化剂进行了表征分析,研究了催化剂的微观结构与甲烷化性能之间的关系。结果表明,助剂Ce的引入能够加强Ni物种与载体之间的相互作用、增强活性组分Ni对CO的吸附能力。随着Ce含量的升高,Ni物种在载体表面的分散度提高、Ni晶粒粒径减小,催化剂的比表面积及与载体相互作用较强的β-NiO相对含量先升后降。催化剂的浆态床甲烷化活性随Ce含量的升高呈现规律性的变化,CO转化率和CH4时空收率先增加后略有下降,当Ce含量为4%(质量分数)时,催化剂甲烷化活性最佳。     

二甲基二硫醚对Ni/Al_2O_3催化剂加氢性能的影响

考察了二甲基二硫醚(CH3SSCH3)对Ni/Al2O3催化剂上苯、环己烯和苯乙烯加氢活性的影响,并采用BET、XRD、H2-TPR、XPS、SEM和EA等手段对催化剂进行表征。实验结果表明,在CH3SSCH3存在下,Ni/Al2O3催化剂对苯和环己烯加氢迅速失活,且环己烯加氢对CH3SSCH3的耐硫性要略强于苯加氢,而苯乙烯中共轭烯烃的加氢转化率则维持100%长时间不变。CH3SSCH3的影响顺序为芳环单烯烃共轭烯烃。此外,通过设计实验研究了CH3SSCH3对催化剂的毒化机理,发现CH3SSCH3分子首先吸附在催化剂的表面,并发生氢解生成甲烷随尾气逸出,故CH3SSCH3分子中碳对催化剂的失活影响较小,而留下的硫原子则与镍活性组分发生相互作用,毒化催化剂。     

Effect of electron beam irradiation on CO2 reforming of methane over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of electron beam irradiation on the CO₂ reforming of methane over Ni/Al₂O₃ was investigated. The conversion rate of CO₂ and CH₄ forming H₂ and CO using various catalysts irradiated with an absorbed dose greater than 2 MGy was 5–10% higher than when using an untreated catalyst. The Ni/O ratio on the catalyst surface increased after treatment with an electron beam, and was more prominent for catalysts with a higher Ni content. As such, based on XRD and XPS measurements, electron beam treatment was found to result in either the desorption of oxygen from NiO or the removal of OH groups from the outermost surface layer of the catalyst. In addition, the concentration of active sites, such as Ni²⁺ and NiO, or surface defects was also found to increase with the absorbed radiation dose, thereby increasing the conversion rate.

采用等体积浸渍法、浸渍沉淀法和机械化学法(市售载体和自制载体)制备了Cat-1、Cat-2、Cat-3和Cat-4四种催化剂,通过BET、H_2-TPR、XRD、XPS和NH_3-TPD等表征催化剂的结构特征,考察了各催化剂对煤焦油模型化合物甲苯和芘(3%,质量分数)裂解反应性能的影响。结果表明,四种催化剂均为介孔材料,且Cat-4的介孔有序度更高,比表面积最大,达235 m~2/g。Cat-4催化剂中,NiAl_2O_4尖晶石的还原峰面积最高,占总面积的85.2%,还原后Ni的分散度最大,粒径最小,约为10.0 nm,意味着活性位点多。实验表明,除Cat-1外,其他催化剂对芘的裂解活性基本相当,其中,Cat-4作用下的析碳量最低,为10.84%,经Cat-1、Cat-2和Cat-3裂解后,体系中的析碳量分别较Cat-4增加了35.0%、74.7%和45.7%。可见,机械化学法制备的催化剂不仅具有最高的比表面积利于活性组分分散,而且NiAl_2O_4尖晶石含量最高,可抑制裂解过程中积炭的生成,因而最适宜于甲苯+芘裂解体系。     

γ-Al2O3对SCR脱硝催化剂V2O5-WO3/TiO2的改性研究

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了不同γ-Al₂O₃含量的钛铝复合载体,以此为载体采用浸渍法负载V₂O₅和WO₃制备了一系列催化剂。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面积测定(BET)、程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)等表征技术对催化剂表面形态进行分析,同时在模拟氨气选择性催化还原NO(NH₃-SCR)的反应条件下,对催化剂的脱硝反应活性和SO₂抗中毒进行考察。结果发现,TiO₂和γ-Al₂O₃之间的协同作用使得V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂-γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的脱硝效率及活性窗口明显优于单一载体制备的催化剂,表现出了良好的热稳定性和抗SO₂毒化能力,特别是V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂-15% γ-Al₂O₃在310~460 ℃,NO的转化率均在80%以上,反应窗口最宽。各种表征结果表明,TiO₂-γ-Al₂O₃复合载体中γ-Al₂O₃高度分散在TiO₂上,复合载体具有较大的比表面积,同时具有较强的还原能力。

Preparation and characterization of MgO/Al2O3 mixed oxides support for hydrotreating catalysts

The characteristics of pure MgO, Al₂O₃ and three binary mixtures of MgO-Al₂O₃ were studied by determining their BET surface areas, micropore surface area, total pore volume, adsorption-desorption isotherms, the x-ray diffractogram, surface acidity and catalytic functionality for cumene cracking.The XRD results show that the incorporation of alumina into the magnesia beyond 50% renders it amorphous. Furthermore, the mixed oxide containing 50% magnesia and 50% alumina had the highest BET surface area of 200 m²/g and is the only mixed oxide with bimodal pores.The results of the acidity measurements and cumene cracking functionality indicates that strong acid sites are found only in mixed oxides containing more than 50% alumina.     

氧化铝载体硫酸化对锰铈催化剂SCR脱硝性能的影响

分别以硫酸改性前后的氧化铝为载体,采用浸渍法制备了锰铈催化剂,对其NH_3-SCR脱硝性能进行评价,并采用XRD、BET、NH_3-TPD、H_2-TPR以及FT-IR对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,改性降低了金属的分散性和氧化性,增加了酸量,特别是B酸量;催化剂的最佳脱硝温度窗口向高温扩展,活性温度窗口范围变宽,并且,改性液浓度越大变化幅度越大。当反应温度在200-250℃时,未改性催化剂与采用0.2 mol/L硫酸改性的催化剂具有接近的催化活性,但改性后的催化剂具有更高的抗水抗硫活性,250℃时脱硝率可达70%。     

活性金属不同浸渍顺序对Mo-Ni/Al2O3催化剂硫醚化反应性能的影响

针对硫醚化反应过程使用的Mo-Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂,考察了不同浸渍方法对其催化性能和表面结构性质的影响。结果表明,通过同步浸渍和分步浸渍方法制得Mo-Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂的活性顺序为：先浸渍Mo后浸渍Ni的催化剂（SI-mn）≈Ni和Mo共同浸渍的催化剂（MN）>先浸渍Ni后浸渍Mo的催化剂（SI-nm）。对于SI-mn催化剂,先负载Mo后减弱了二次浸渍的Ni金属与载体间的相互作用,有利于负载金属的活化,并在二次浸渍后焙烧过程显现出显著的电子效应,形成新的Mo-Ni前体物种,有利于在预硫化过程形成适宜硫醚化和二烯烃选择性加氢的活性中心相,促进硫醚化反应和二烯烃选择性加氢。对于共同浸渍的MN催化剂也有类似的性质,因而也具有较好的催化性能。     

Promoting effect of sol-gel method and pre-treatment on the activity of SnO2/Al2O3 catalyst for NO reduction by propene

SnO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared by sol-gel method showed higher activity than those prepared by impregnation method, and their activity was significantly improved by pre-treatment in the reaction gas. The increased activity is closely related to the agglomeration of SnO₂ species and the re-exposure of Al₂O₃, which was previously covered by dispersed SnO₂ species.

TiO2对Ni/Al2O3催化剂CO甲烷化性能的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了一系列不同TiO₂含量的TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,并通过浸渍法制备了NiO/TiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂。分别考察了不同TiO₂含量的NiO/TiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂及反应温度对CO甲烷化催化性能的影响。实验结果表明,当复合载体中TiO₂质量分数为30%,反应温度为350～450 ℃时,催化剂催化活性较高。利用N₂吸附-脱附(BET)、X射线衍射(XRD)及H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)等手段对催化剂物化性能进行了表征。结果表明,加入适量的TiO₂能抑制镍铝尖晶石NiAl₂O₄物种的生成,改善NiO的表面分散性能,避免大晶粒NiO的形成,也改善了催化剂的还原性能,从而提高催化剂的CO甲烷化活性。
