Cu-loaded dealuminated Y zeolites active in selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with ammonia

The selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia in the presence of oxygen has been carried out on Cu-loaded dealuminated Y zeolite catalysts. Copper was introduced by the usual ion-exchange procedure with an aqueous solution of cupric acetate. On deeply dealuminated USY zeolites, Cu²⁺ was supported in the amount larger than 2Cu/Al = 2, resulting in the formation of CuO fine particles in addition to the isolated and dimer Cu²⁺ species. The specific catalytic activity per surface copper on the CuO particles was very high compared with these Cu²⁺ species. NO adsorption measurement revealed the higher dispersion of CuO on the deeply dealuminated USY than on SiO₂, which made Cu/USY a better catalyst for the reduction of NO. The reaction intermediates were investigated through the IR spectra of adsorbed species.

载体H+含量对CuY甲醇氧化羰基化反应性能影响

通过过量浸渍Cu(NO_3)_2溶液于Y分子筛载体上,制备出Cu负载量为6.4%的CuY催化剂,考察了甲醇氧化羰基化反应的催化性能,并采用X射线衍射(XRD)、H2程序升温还原(H2-TPR)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和NH3程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)等手段对催化剂表面微观结构进行了表征。研究表明,随Y分子筛载体H+含量的增加,可使更多Cu物种落位于分子筛微孔笼结构中,且高度分散,而笼内未交换的Na+能进一步促进铜物种更多落位于载体超笼结构中,形成更多甲醇氧化羰基化反应的Cu+活性中心。同时随铜物种引入,催化剂中产生了明显的中强酸,酸量随落位于载体笼结构中的Cu物种的增加而增加,催化剂总酸量随之增加,导致甲醇氧化羰基化产物分布发生改变,碳酸二甲酯(DMC)选择性明显降低。对比等体积浸渍法制备的92.3%的高DMC选择性CuY催化剂,以不含H+的NaY分子筛为载体,过量浸渍法制备的CuY催化剂酸量少、Cu物种活性中心多,在保持82.4%的高DMC选择性时,其DMC的时空收率(STY)也高达109.1mg·g~(-1)·h-1。     

Cu/活性炭催化剂：水合肼还原制备及催化甲醇氧化羰基化

以活性炭为载体,水合肼为还原剂制备了负载型Cu/活性炭催化剂,考察了水合肼/硝酸铜物质的量的比对催化甲醇气相氧化羰基化性能的影响,并采用XRD、XPS、H2-TPR和SEM等手段对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,不加入还原剂水合肼时,催化剂中仅有CuO;随着水合肼/硝酸铜物质的量的比的增加,二价铜逐步被还原为Cu2O和/或单质Cu0,未被还原的Cu(OH)2在催化剂干燥过程中分解形成分散态CuO存在于催化剂表面。当水合肼/硝酸铜物质的量的比为0.75时,催化剂的催化性能最好,碳酸二甲酯的时空收率为120.62 mg.(g.h)-1,选择性为74.51%,甲醇转化率达到3.88%。在93 h反应时间内,催化剂都保持了较高的反应活性和选择性。此时铜物种以Cu2O和分散态CuO为主,Cu2O是主要的活性物种。     

限域纳米空间制备高效HCl氧化CuO-CeO_2催化剂

利用KIT-6的有序介孔作为限域空间制备了一系列的介孔Cu O-Ce O2催化剂.借助XRD、BET、Raman、ESEM、TEM和H2-TPR等手段对催化剂进行表征,并考察其在HCl氧化反应中的催化性能.结果表明:铜含量35%时,Cu O物种高度分散在催化剂的表面或者进入Ce O2晶格,催化剂具有高比表面积(140 m2·g-1)和较小的晶粒尺寸,其中25Cu O-Ce O2催化剂具备最高的表面氧空位浓度和最优的低温氧化还原性能,并在HCl氧化反应中表现出最佳的催化活性,O2/HCl=6,370℃时转化率达到90%.反应动力学结果表明,25Cu O-Ce O2中更多的高分散的Cu O促进了HCl在催化剂表面的吸附和活化,更高浓度的氧空位增强了氧分子的吸附和活化.     

Dispersion state of CuO on CeO2

XRD and XPS are used to study the dispersion state of CuO on ceria surface. The dispersion capacity values of CuO measured by the two methods are consistent, which are of 1.20 mmol CuO/100 m² CeO₂. In addition, the results reveal that highly dispersed Cu²⁺ ions are formed at low CuO loadings and that increasing the CuO content to a value higher than its dispersion capacity produces crystalline CuO after the surface vacant sites on CeO₂ are filled. The atomic composition of the outermost layer of the CuO/CeO₂ samples has been probed by using static secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SSIMS), and the ratim of Cu/Ce are found to be 0.93 and 0.46 for the 1.22 and 0.61 mmol CuO/CeO₂ samples respectively. Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) profile with two reduction peaks at 156 and 165°C suggests that the reduction of highly dispersed Cu²⁺ ions consists of two steps and is easier than that of CuO crystallites, in which the TPR profile has only one reduction peak at about 249°C. The above experimental results are in good agreement with the prediction of the incorporation model. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Characterization and Activity of Cu‐MnOx/γ‐Al2O3 Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide

The effect of manganese on the dispersion, reduction behavior and active states of surface of supported copper oxide catalysts have been investigated by XRD, temperature‐programmed reduction and XPS. The activity of methanol synthesis from CO₂/H₂ was also investigated. The catalytic activity over CuO‐MnO_x/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst for CO₂ hydrogenation is higher than that of CuO/γ‐Al₂O₃. The adding of manganese is beneficial in enhancing the dispersion of the supported copper oxide and make the TPR peak of the CuO‐MnK_x/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst different from the individual supported copper and manganese oxide catalysts, which indicates that there exists strong interaction between the copper and manganese oxide. For the CuO/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst there are two reducible copper oxide species; α and β peaks are attributed to the reduction of highly dispersed copper oxide species and bulk CuO species, respectively. For the CuO‐MnO_x/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalyst, four reduction peaks are observed, α peak is attributed to the dispersed copper oxide species; β peak is ascribed to the bulk CuO; γ peak is attributed to the reduction of high dispersed CuO interacting with manganese; δ peak may be the reduction of the manganese oxide interacting with copper oxide. XPS results show that Cu⁺ mostly existed on the working surface of the Cu‐Mn/γ‐Al₂O₃ catalysts. The activity was promoted by Cu with positive charge which was formed by means of long path exchange function between Cu? O? Mn. These results indicate that there is synergistic interaction between the copper and manganese oxide, which is responsible for the high activity of CO₂ hydrogenation.     

Mechanochemical Activation of Cu–CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Mixture as a Promising Technique for the Solid-State Synthesis of Catalysts for the Selective Oxidation of CO in the Presence of H<Subscript>2</Subscript>

A new ecologically clean method for the solid-phase synthesis of oxide copper–ceria catalysts with the use of the mechanochemical activation of a mixture of Cu powder (8 wt %) with CeO₂ was developed. It was established that metallic copper was oxidized by oxygen from CeO₂ in the course of mechanochemical activation. The intensity of a signal due to metallic Cu in the X-ray diffraction analysis spectra decreased with the duration of mechanochemical activation. The Cu¹⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ce³⁺ ions were detected on the sample surface by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The application of temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) made it possible to detect two active oxygen species in the reaction of CO oxidation in the regions of 190 and 210–220°C by a TPR-H₂ method and in the regions of 150 and 180–190°C by a TPR-CO method. It is likely that the former species occurred in the catalytically active nanocomposite surface structures containing Cu–O–Ce bonds, whereas the latter occurred in the finely dispersed particles of CuO on the surface of CeO₂. The maximum conversion of CO (98%, 165°C) reached by the mechanochemical activation of the sample for 60 min was almost the same as conversion on a supported CuO/CeO₂ catalyst.

Oxidation of Ethanol in Cu-Faujasites Studied by IR Spectroscopy

In this study, IR studies of the coadsorption of ethanol and CO on Cu⁺ cations evidenced the transfer of electrons from ethanol to Cu⁺, which caused the lowering of the frequency of the band attributed to CO bonded to the same Cu⁺ cation due to the more effective π back donation of d electrons of Cu to antibonding π* orbitals of CO. The reaction of ethanol with acid sites in zeolite HFAU above 370 K produced water and ethane, polymerizing to polyethylene. Ethanol adsorbed on zeolite Cu(2)HFAU containing acid sites and Cu⁺_exch also produced ethene, but in this case, the ethene was bonded to Cu⁺ and did not polymerize. C=C stretching, which is IR non-active in the free ethene molecule, became IR active, and a weak IR band at 1538 cm⁻¹ was present. The reaction of ethanol above 370 K in Cu(5)NaFAU zeolite (containing small amounts of Cu⁺_exch and bigger amounts of Cu⁺_ox, Cu²⁺_exch and CuO) produced acetaldehyde, which was further oxidized to the acetate species (CH₃COO⁻). As oxygen was not supplied, the donors of oxygen were the Cu species present in our zeolite. The CO and NO adsorption experiments performed in Cu-zeolite before and after ethanol reaction evidenced that both Cu⁺_ox and Cu²⁺ (Cu²⁺_exch and CuO) were consumed by the ethanol oxidation reaction. The studies of the considered reaction of bulk CuO and Cu₂O as well as zeolites, in which the contribution of Cu⁺_ox species was reduced by various treatments, suggest that ethanol was oxidized to acetaldehyde by Cu²⁺_ox (the role of Cu⁺_ox could not be elucidated), but Cu⁺_ox was the oxygen donor in the acetate formation.     

溶剂极性对微波辐射老化制备前驱体及CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂结构的影响

在制备CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂的老化过程中,采用微波辐射老化技术,着重研究了溶剂极性对前躯体物相组成,烧后CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂结构及其在浆态床合成甲醇工艺中催化性能的影响。通过XRD、DTG、H2-TPR,FTIR、HR-TEM和XPS对前驱体及催化剂表征表明,沉淀母液在微波辐射条件下进行老化,溶剂的极性对前躯体物相组成及催化剂结构影响显著。随着溶剂极性的增大,Zn2+/Cu2+取代Cu2(CO3)(OH)2/Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6中Cu2+/Zn2+的取代反应增强,使得前躯体中(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6和(Cu,Zn)2(CO3)(OH)2物相的含量增多,结晶度提高,导致烧后CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂中CuO-ZnO协同作用增强,且CuO晶粒减小,表面Cu含量增加,催化剂活性和稳定性提高。水溶剂的极性最大,制备的催化剂活性和稳定性最好,甲醇的时空收率(STY)和平均失活率分别为320 mg.g-1.h-1和0.11%.d-1。     

微波辐射对浆态床合成甲醇CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂前驱体晶相转变的影响

在微波辐射条件下,对CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂的沉淀母液进行老化,通过XRD、TG、H2-TPR,FTIR、HR-TEM和XPS对前驱体及催化剂微观结构的进行表征,探讨了CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂前驱体晶相转变过程中微波辐射的作用。结果表明,微波辐射有利于Cu2+取代Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6中Zn2+的同晶取代反应。微波辐射的老化过程中,首先发生Cu2+取代Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6中Zn2+生成(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6的同晶取代反应,并于1.0 h内基本完成;随着老化时间继续延长,主要进行Zn2+取代Cu2(CO3)(OH)2中Cu2+生成(Cu,Zn)2(CO3)(OH)2的同晶取代反应,同时(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6进一步结晶。与常规老化1 h制备的前驱体相比,微波辐射老化1.0 h制备的前驱体含有较多的(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6物相,有助于增强焙烧后CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂中CuO-ZnO协同作用,提高表面铜含量,进而提高CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂在浆态床合成甲醇的催化活性和稳定性,在400 h浆态床合成甲醇评价期间,甲醇时空收率最大达318.9 g.kg-1.h-1,失活率仅为0.11%.d-1。     

Distribution and properties of catalytically active Cu2+ sites in mesoporous MCM-41 modified with Al, Zr, or W ions

The surface of pure mesoporous SiO₂ with an MCM-41 structure has been modified by introducing Al, Zr, or W ions (1 mmol/g). The original and modified materials have been loaded with Cu²⁺ ions. The distribution, properties, and thermal stability of different Cu²⁺ sites have been studied by EPR and IR spectroscopy. The resulting catalysts have been tested for activity in ethane oxidation. The modification of original MCM-41 exerts a very strong effect on the stability of isolated Cu²⁺ ions on the support surface. Among the modified supports, Al-MCM-41 affords the highest thermal stability and degree of dispersion (70–80%) of the copper-containing phase. There is no correlation between the total number of surface Cu²⁺ sites and the catalytic activity. The specific catalytic activity (per Cu²⁺ ion accessible to the reactants) depends strongly on the local structure of the sites. The isolated pentacoordinated Cu²⁺ sites stabilized by the Al-MCM-41 surface show a comparatively high activity in the sample calcined at 520°C. The heat treatment of Cu/Al-MCM-41 at 650–750°C reduces the specific activity of the catalytic sites by a factor of ～20 without sintering the copper phase, as in the case of CuHZSM-5 zeolite. The least dispersed copper phase, which is observed in the original MCM-41 and likely consists of aggregates of weakly interacting Cu²⁺ ions, exhibits the highest specific activity and thermal stability. In the case of Cu/W-MCM-41, heat treatment causes both the sintering of copper particles and a decrease in the specific activity of the surface Cu²⁺ ions.     

CuNaY分子筛的有效吸附位与其脱硫性能的关联性研究

以液相离子交换法制备了一系列不同Cu负载量的CuNaY分子筛;采用XRD及N₂吸附-脱附表征分子筛的微观结构和织构性质,采用动态吸附法考察其对噻吩模拟油的吸附脱硫性能,结合NH₃-TPD和Py-FTIR方法对CuNaY分子筛的酸量和有效Cu⁺物种进行定量分析,研究了CuNaY分子筛的表面酸性和铜物种形态结构对其吸附脱硫性能的影响机制。结果表明,通过改变铜负载量可有效调控改性Y分子筛的表面酸性以及铜物种化学形态;适量铜物种的引入可以最大限度的形成有效吸附位,从而获得最优吸附脱硫性能,而过量的Cu物种会在Y分子筛笼内形成多核铜物种结构,导致有效吸附位点的减少,影响其对噻吩的吸附能力。     

Effect of copper precursors on the catalytic activity of Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>

The Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by different copper precursors were used for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO _x with NH₃. The Cu/ZSM-5 catalyst prepared by the copper nitrate (Cu/ZSM-5-N) presented the best performance among the Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts and showed above 90 % NO _x conversion at 225–405 °C. The average particle size of CuO was 5.82, 9.20, and 11.01 nm over Cu/ZSM-5-N, Cu/ZSM-5-S (prepared by copper sulfate), and Cu/ZSM-5-C (prepared by copper chloride), respectively. The Cu/ZSM-5-N catalyst showed the highly dispersed copper species, the strong surface acidity, and the excellent redox ability compared with the Cu/ZSM-5-C and Cu/ZSM-5-S catalysts. The Cu⁺ and Cu²⁺ existed in the Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts and the abundant Cu⁺ over Cu/ZSM-5-N might be responsible for the superior SCR activity.     

Construction of Cu-Ce interface for boosting toluene oxidation: Study of Cu-Ce interaction and intermediates identified by in situ DRIFTS

A facile hydrothermal method was applied to gain stably and highly efficient CuO-CeO₂ (denoted as Cu1Ce2) catalyst for toluene oxidation. The changes of surface and inter properties on Cu1Ce2 were investigated comparing with pure CeO₂ and pure CuO. The formation of Cu-Ce interface promotes the electron transfer between Cu and Ce through Cu²⁺ + Ce³⁺ ↔ Cu⁺ + Ce⁴⁺ and leads to high redox properties and mobility of oxygen species. Thus, the Cu1Ce2 catalyst makes up the shortcoming of CeO₂ and CuO and achieved high catalytic performance with T₅₀ = 234 °C and T₉₉ = 250 °C (the temperature at which 50% and 90% C₇H₈ conversion is obtained, respectively) for toluene oxidation. Different reaction steps and intermediates for toluene oxidation over Cu1Ce2, CeO₂ and CuO were detected by in situ DRIFTS, the fast benzyl species conversion and preferential transformation of benzoates into carbonates through C=C breaking over Cu1Ce2 should accelerate the reaction.     

CuCl2和HY分子筛的表面反应及Cu/Y分子筛的制备及其催化甲醇氧化羰基化

以CuCl₂为前驱物与HY分子筛进行固相离子交换制备了Cu/Y催化剂,采用热重方法研究了CuCl₂与HY分子筛的表面固相离子交换反应,结合活性测试表明催化剂中高度分散的CuCl和离子交换形式的Cu⁺物种是甲醇氧化羰基化合成碳酸二甲酯的催化活性中心。X射线光电子能谱表征和元素分析结果表明,活性金属Cu主要以CuCl形式存在于分子筛外表面,而在分子筛笼内则以交换的Cu⁺和少量吸附的CuCl形式存在。与以CuCl为交换铜源所制催化剂相比,以CuCl₂为铜源制备的催化剂Cu含量低,催化活性更高。     

微波辐射促进ZnCl2与Y分子筛固相反应的研究

ZnCl2/Y catalysts prepared by solid-state reaction of anhydrous ZnCl2 and Y zeolites under microwave irradiation were characterized by XRD, IR and AAS. ZnCl2 was intercalated in Y zeolites and dispersed on the surface of Y zeolite, part of ZnCl2 dispersed could result in solid-state ion exchange with Y. The amount of dispersion and solid-state ion exchange were related to ZnCl2 loading and the surface acid property of the zeolite. When ZnCl2 loading was 37.5% (mass fraction) in NaY zeolite, ZnCl2 was still completely dispersed on the surf are of zeolite and the degree of solid- state ion exchang was 84%. The appearance of new band at 890 cm-l in the framework IR spectra of ZnCl2/NaY sample was due to the dispersed ZnCl2 coordinating strongly with oxygen of NaY surface. With the increasing of the number of arid centers and the acid strength of the surface of Y zeolite the amount of solid-state ion exchange decreased.
