Unique hydrogenation activity of supported tin catalyst: Selective hydrogenation catalyst for unsaturated aldehydes

Selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes, crotonaldehyde (CH₃CH=CHCH=O) and cinnamaldehyde (C₆H₅CH=CHCH=O), has been studied over SiO₂-supported monometallic Sn and bimetallic Rh---Sn catalysts in the liquid phase. Over a silica-supported monometallic Rh catalyst, Rh/SiO₂, no unsaturated alcohol (crotyl alcohol or cinnamyl alcohol) was formed, whereas considerable amounts of the corresponding saturated aldehyde and saturated alcohol were obtained. The selectivity to the unsaturated alcohol was improved over the Rh---Sn bimetallic catalyst. The selectivity to the corresponding unsaturated alcohol attained ca. 65% over the Rh---Sn bimetallic catalysts. On the other hand, The supported Sn catalyst showed markedly high selectivity to the unsaturated alcohols. The selectivity of the Sn/SiO₂, attained 95% to crotyl alcohol and 100% to cinnamyl alcohol, respectively. Although the conversion of each unsaturated aldehyde over Rh---Sn/SiO₂ catalysts was greater than that over Sn/SiO₂ catalysts, the selectivity of Sn/SiO₂ catalysts to the corresponding unsaturated alcohols was superior to that over Rh---Sn/SiO₂. The selectivity of Sn/SiO₂ was also compared with that of Rh---Sn/SiO₂ at a similar conversion of the unsaturated aldehydes. The selectivity of Sn/SiO₂ was significantly greater than that of the Rh---Sn bimetallic catalyst. These results indicate that the high selectivity over Sn/SiO₂ was ascribed not to low conversion but to intrinsic selectivity of the Sn catalyst.     

Selective oxidation of alcohols over copper zirconium phosphate

The catalytic activity of copper zirconium phosphate (ZPCu) in the selective oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding ketones or aldehydes, using H₂O₂ as an oxidizing agent, was studied. The oxidation reaction was performed without any organic solvent, phase-transfer catalyst, or additive. Steric factors associated with the substrates influenced the reaction. The catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. It was shown that the interlayer distance increased from 0.74 to 0.80 nm and the crystallinity was reduced after Cu²⁺ intercalation into the layers. This catalyst can be recovered and reused three times without significant loss of activity and selectivity.

Selective oxidation of ethane to aldehydes over SBA-15 supported molybdenum catalyst

SBA-15 supported Mo catalysts （Moy/SBA-15） were prepared by an ultrasonic assisted incipient-wetness impregnation method. The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by means of N2-adsorption-desorption, XRD, TEM, UV-Vis, Raman, XANES and H2-TPR. The results showed that a trace amount of MoO3 was produced on high Mo content samples. Tum-over frequency （TOF） and product selectivity are dependent on the molybdenum content. Both Mo0.75/SBA-15 and Mo1.75/SBA-15 catalysts give the higher catalytic activity and the selectivity to the total aldehydes for the selective oxidation of C2H6. At the reaction temperature of 625℃, the maximum yield of aldehydes reached 4.2% over Mo0.75/SBA-15 catalyst. The improvement of the activity and selectivity was related with the state of MoOx species.     

Formation of solid electrolyte films on porous supporting electrodes

In this work, the method of chemical deposition from the gas phase of organometallic compounds (CVDOM) was used to obtain thin electrolyte films of zirconia stabilized by yttria (YSZ) on a supporting electrode. Tetrakis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)zirconium and tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)yttrium often termed as zirconium (IV) Zr(dpm)₄ and yttrium (III) Y(dpm)₃ dipivaloylmethanates were used as precursors for film deposition. Gas-tight electrolyte films were obtained on a supporting anode with a thickness of 4–10 μm at moderate deposition temperatures of 500–700°C. An electrochemical cell was prepared and tested using the obtained films. The cell allowed obtaining the power density values of 680, 360, and 175 mW/cm² at the temperatures of 800, 700, and 600°C, accordingly.

An attempt on the VOC oxidation using mechanically activated catalyst

A catalytic action of the mechanochemical products of copper hydroxocarbonate with calcium carbonate was investigated in n-butyl alcohol oxidation tests. The solid products of high-energy milling were identified using thermogravimetry supplemented by X-ray diffraction method. It was shown that the mechanical activation induces more effective tested catalyst because it promotes the alcohol conversion at lower temperatures than that unmilled one. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

In this study, a Zr metal–organic framework (UIO‐66) was synthesized with zirconium tetrachloride and terephthalic acid using the solvent method. Then various masses of 1‐methylimidazolium‐3‐propylsulfonate hydrosulfate (PSMIMHSO₄) were supported on the UIO‐66 as catalysts, which were used for catalytic oxidative desulfurization. Sulfur removal using 400 mg of 40% PSMIMHSO₄ supported on the UIO‐66 of greater than 94% was obtained at 313 K for 20 min with an O/S molar ratio of 7:1.

Selective oxidation of naphthalene derivatives with ruthenium catalysts using hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant

The selective oxidation of naphthalene and its derivatives to give naphthoquinones has been investigated in detail. The reaction can be carried out effectively in the presence of a catalytic amount of Ru complexes (0.2 mol%) and phase transfer catalysts (PTC) using H₂O₂ as the terminal oxidant and water as the solvent. The effect of different ruthenium complexes, phase transfer catalysts, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide were studied. Compared to previous procedures for this type of reactions, acidic solvents and high concentration of hydrogen peroxide are not necessary, which makes the reaction more environmentally friendly.

Influence of MgO contents on silica supported nano-size gold catalyst for carbon monoxide total oxidation

A series of nano-size gold catalysts were prepared by deposition-precipitation method using silica material promoted with different amounts of MgO as the carrier. The influences of MgO addition on the structure and property of the nano-size gold catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), O2 temperature-programmed desorption (O2-TPD), and inductively coupled with plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) techniques. The total oxidation of CO was chosen as the probe reaction. The results suggest that for the gold catalysts supported on the silica material after MgO modification, the size of the gold particles is pronouncedly reduced, the oxygen mobility is enhanced, and the catalytic activity for low-temperature CO oxidation is greatly improved. The gold catalyst modified by 6 wt% MgO (Mg/SiO2 weight ratio) shows higher CO oxidation activity, over which the temperature of CO total oxidation is lower about 150 K than that over the silica directly supported gold catalyst.     

CO oxidation at platinum-molybdenum electrodes

CO oxidation at Pt-Mo electrodes prepared by different procedures is studied. When CO is oxidized from its saturated solutions at Mo-containing electrodes, catalysis is observed at lower potentials (<0.4 V (RHE)); inhibiting, at higher potentials (>0.7 V). When adsorbed CO is oxidized in supporting electrolyte, no oxidation current is observed at lower potentials; the current observed on platinum at higher potentials (>0.7 V) is also lowered in the presence of molybdenum. Depending on the preparation procedure, catalysts with different phase structure were obtained, namely, as the Pt and Mo separate phases, alloys with the platinum-type crystal lattice, or mixed amorphous deposits. The catalyst phase structure did not affect the general picture of observed processes; however, it had influence on the magnitude of the catalytic and inhibiting effects. The presence of crystallinity made the catalyst more stable against oxidation. Amorphous structures were unstable during the potential cycling and the catalyst storage.     

Copolymerization of ethylene and 1-butene using a Cr—silica catalyst in a slurry reactor

A novel slurry reactor was used to investigate the copolymerization behavior of ethylene and 1-butene in the presence of 1 wt % Cr on Davison silica (Phillips-type) catalyst over the temperature range of 0–50°C, space velocity of about 0.0051 [m³ (STP)]/(g of catalyst) h, and a fixed ethylene to 1-butene feed mole ratio of 95 : 5. The effect of varying the ethylene to 1-butene feed ratios, 100 : 0, 96.5 : 3.5, 95 : 5, 93 : 7, 90 : 10, 80 : 20, and 0 : 100 mol/mol at 50°C was also studied. The addition of 1-butene to ethylene typically increased both copolymerization rates and yields relative to ethylene homopolymerization with the same catalyst, reaching a maximum yield for an ethylene: 1-butene feed ratio of 95 : 5 at 50°C. The incorporation of 1-butene within the copolymer in all cases was less than 5 mol %. The average activation energy for the apparent reaction rate constant, k_a, based on total comonomer mole fraction in the slurry liquid for the ethylene to 1-butene feed mole ratio of 95 : 5 in the temperature range of 50–30°C measured 54.2 kJ/mol. The behavior for temperatures between 30 to 0°C differed with an activation energy of 98.2 kJ/mol; thus, some diffusion limitation likely influences the copolymerization rates at temperatures above 30°C. A kinetics analysis of the experimental data at 50°C for different ethylene to 1-butene feed ratios gave the values of the reactivity ratios, r₁ = 27.3 ± 3.6 and r₂ ≅ 0, for ethylene and 1-butene, respectively. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
