Study of CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol over Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst

The effect of vanadium addition to CU/γ-Al2O3 catalyst used in the hydrogenation of CO2 to produce methanol was studied. It was found that the catalytic performance of the Cu-based catalyst improved after V addition. The influence of reaction temperature, space velocity and the molar ratio of H2 to CO2 on the performance of 12%Cu-6%V/γ-Al2O3 catalyst were also studied. The results indicated that the best conditions for reaction were as follows: 240℃, 3600 h-1 and a molar ratio of H2 to CO2 of 3:1. The results of XRD and TPR characterization demonstrated that the addition of V enhanced the dispersion of the supported CuO species, which resulted in the enhanced catalytic performance of CU-V/γ-Al2O3 binary catalyst.     

SO2-4/ZrO2对Rh/γ-Al2O3-Zr催化剂上乙烯选择还原NO反应的影响

The selective reduction of NO by hydrocarbons in the presence of excess oxygen is a potential route to remove NO from exhaust gases[1,2]. The acidity has been shown to be important in lean NO reduction, and the role of acidity in this reaction is quite different for various catalytic systems[3～9]. In this paper, 15%ZrO2 as the thermal stabilizer is doped into 0.5%Rh/γ-Al2O3, and the synergetic effect between Rh/γ-Al2O3-Zr and solid superacid SO2-4/ZrO2 for NO+C2H4+O2 reaction is studied.     

Effect of Titanium on Methanol Synthesis from CO_2 Hydrogenation over Cu/γ-Al_2O_3

Conversion of CO_2 to useful chemicals is widely investigated by many workers from the view point of finding technologies for suppressing the green house effect caused by CO_2 emission. The utilization of industrial Cu/ZnO/Al_2O_3 catalyst, which exhibited a high activity for methanol synthesis from syngas, was not successful1 in CO_2 hydrogenation. Therefore, it is important to synthesize and develop new catalysts with a higher activity and better selectivity to methanol. Recently, great …     

New process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO_2/H_2 based on dual-catalysis

A new process of low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO/CO2/H2 based on dual-catalysis has been developed. Some alcohols, especially 2-alcohol, were found to have high catalytic promoting effect on the synthesis of methanol from CO hydrogenation. At 443 K and 5 MPa, the synthesis of methanol could process high effectively, resulting from the synergic catalysis of Cu/ZnO solid catalyst and 2-alcohol solvent catalyst. The primary results showed that when 2-butanol was used as reaction solvent, the one-pass average yield and the selectivity of methanol, in 40 h continuous reaction at temperature as low as 443 K and 5 MPa, were high up to 46.51% and 98.94% respectively. The catalytic activity was stable and the reaction temperature was 80 K or so lower than that in current industry synthesis process. This new process hopefully will become a practical method for methanol synthesis at low temperature.     

纳米二氧化锆在甲醇合成催化剂Cu/Ga2O3/ZrO2中的作用

The introduction of mesoporous nanosize zirconia to the catalyst for methanol synthesis dedicates the nanosized catalyst and mesoporous duplicated properties. The catalyst bears the larger surface area, larger mesoporous volume and more uniform diameter, more surface metal atoms and oxygen vacancies than the catalyst prepared with the conventional coprecipitation method. The modification of microstructure and electronic effect could result in the change of the reduced chemical state and decrease of reducuction temperature of copper, donating the higher activity and methanol selectivity to the catalyst. The results of methanol synthesis demonstrate that the Cu^＋ is the optimum active site. Also, the interaction between the copper and zirconia shows the synergistic effect to fulfil the methanol synthesis.     

Pd/Hβ-zeolite catalysts for catalytic combustion of toluene: Effect of SiO2/Al2O3 ratio

The effect of pure and high silica Hβ zeolites on the catalytic performance of toluene combustion over Pd/H/3 catalyst was evaluated.Pure and high silica β zeolites were prepared by direct synthesis procedures,then 0.1 wt% of palladium was impregnated on different Hβ zeolites via incipient wetness technique using palladium nitrate as the Pd source.The Pd/Hβ catalysts were characterized by XRD,N2 adsorption/desorption,H2O adsorption,NH3-TPD,H2-TPR and XPS techniques.With increasing the SIO2/Al2O3 ratio of β zeolite,the activity of the Pd/Hβ catalysts for toluene combustion increased clearly and the pure silica β zeolite supported Pd catalyst showed the best catalytic activity.The superior catalytic performance of Pd/β catalyst prepared from pure silica β zeolite was attributed to its high hydrophobicity and the preserving ability for PdO active species.     

Synthesis, Properties and Crystal Structure of a Novel Coordinated Polymer:{(H_2en)(H_3O)[(BiPb(C_2O_4)_4(H_2O)_2)]·2(H_2O)}_n

1 INTRODUCTION It is well-known that bismuth and lead display attractive properties as promoting elements in noble metal-based catalysts[1], and thermal decomposition of ammonium metal oxalates can yield crystalline porous materials with a high surface area. This feature makes them attractive as precursors for catalysts and other nanocrystalline oxides[2]. Because of their topology, the oxalates themselves also possess inte- resting properties such as the capability of ion-exchange. The …     

甲烷部分氧化制合成气NiO/γ-Al2O3催化剂的失活研究:溶胶-凝胶法对催化性能的影响

The nickel-based catalyst used in partial oxidation of methane(POM)to syngas emerged as the most practical one because of the high turnover rate and inexpensive cost.However,nickel-based catalyst supported on γ-Al2O3 is usually unstable at high temperature owing either to carbon deposition[1],the loss and sintering of nickel[2] or to phase transformation.     

碘甲烷在碳酸二甲酯直接合成中的作用

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an environmentally friendly compound and a substitutive intermediate for highly toxic phosgene or dimethyl sulfate in carbonylation and methylation reactions as well as a promising octane booster. The common methods for its preparation are the oxidative carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by a variety of transition metal ions and the transesterification of ethylene carbonate or propene carbonate with methanol[1]. The direct synthesis of DMC from carbon dioxide and methanol is a challenging route in which the most abundant carbon resources and a main greenhouse gas is used as feedstock. A new method for the direct synthesis of DMC catalyzed by the methoxide of main group metal has attracted more and more attention since it was reported[2～6] . However the lower conversion of the reaction has become the main obstacle for its application. In this letter, an efficient promoter for the direct synthesis of DMC is reported.     

Al2O3 Effect on the Catalytic Activity of Cu-ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 Catalysts for Dimethyl Ether Synthesis from CO2 Hydrogenation

The effect of Al2O3 on the Cu-ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 catalysts prepared by a pseudo sol-gel method has been investigated and these catalysts were characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, XPS, NH3-TPD and CO2- TPD techniques. As revealed by XRD and H2-TPR, the added alumina produces high dispersion of CuO and makes the reduction of CuO difficult. XPS analysis detects a remarkably high Al^3＋ enrichment at the surface of calcined samples, along with a decrease of Eb of Cu 2p3/2, which confirms the Cu-Al interaction. Another important role of Al203 would be to incorporate into the SiO2 structure to form the acid-base sites for ether formation. The reaction results shows that the addition of Al2O3 exhibits a promoting effect on the CO2 conversion only when its content is below 1.4%, and an optimal DME selectivity is obtained when 4.0%Al2O3 is added, indicating a better ＇synergistic effect＇ is present between the methanol forming component and the acidic component in bifunctional catalysts. Possible relationship between the catalytic activity and the Cu-Al interaction as well as the surface acidity is discussed.     

Pt/γ-Al2O3催化剂活性位的表征及其噻吩加氢脱硫催化活性

A series of Pt/γ Al 2O 3 catalysts with different content of Pt were characterized by using low temperature FT IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO, while their catalytic activity for HDS was investigated with thiophene as a model substrate. On the basis of the experimental results, it has been obtained that the pseudo zero order rate of the thiophene HDS reaction is well linearly proportional to the total area of the two IR bands at 2?080 and 1?850 cm -1 of CO adsorbed on Pt/γ Al 2O 3, and that the Pt sites for CO adsorption may be the active centers for thiophene HDS reaction.     

A1_2O_3 Effect on the Catalytic Activity of Cu-ZnO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2 Catalysts for Dimethyl Ether Synthesis from CO_2 Hydrogenation

1. Introduction Dimethyl ether (DME) has received more and more attention as a clean alternative diesel fuel since it has higher cetane value, lower NOx emission, lesser carbon particulates and near-zero smoke compared with those for the traditional diesel fuels [1,2]. So far DME has been produced from methanol dehydra- tion over solid-acid catalysts [2,3] or from syngas over bifunctional catalysts [1,4-7]. Recently, great efforts have been emphasized on the direct synthesis of DME from C…     

乙醇在新型Mo/C催化剂上的气相羰基化反应

The carbonylation of alcohol to acid or ester is an important process in the chemical industry. The Monsanto process for acetic acid via the homoge neous carbonylation of methanol is an example of the largest scale commercial application of this route[1].Recently, ethanol carbonylation for manufacturing propionic acid and ethyl propionate became an at tractive approach, and many research efforts were made for an appropriate catalyst to carry out the va por phase carbonylation under atmospheric pres sure[2～4]. Although an iodide-promoted Ni/C cata lyst is found to exhibit satisfactory activity and se lectivity for the vapor phase carbonylation of ethanol, it is affected by the disadvantages associat ed with a highly corrosive reaction medium and dif ficult product separation owing to the use of ethyl iodide as promoter. There has been little success in finding heterogeneous or homogeneous catalyst that can operate effectively without a halide promoter[5].     

Pd-gate MOS sensor for detection of methanol and propanol

The present paper focused on the detection of methanol and propanol using Pd-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) sensor. Surface mor- phology and composition of the gate film were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The response of the sensor for propanol and methanol was measured as shift in capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G-V) curves of the MOS structure. The sensitivity of the sensor towards methanol was found to be greater than that towards propanol. It was 58.2% for methanol and 32% for propanol (at 0.6 V, 1 MHz) in terms of capacitance measurements, while in terms of conductance results the sensitivity was found to be 57.2% for methanol and 38.9% for propanol at 1 kHz. The discontinuities or cracks present in the microstructure of the gate material are believed to be mainly responsible for the high sensitivity of the sensor, going with the decomposition of gas molecules and subsequent hydrogen permeation through Pd.     

TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2磁性光催化剂的制备与表征

 A γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 composite was prepared by sol-gel method followed by calcination at 700 ℃ for 30 min starting from tetraethoxysilane and iron nitrate. Upon further coating with SiO2 and TiO2, a TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 magnetic photocatalyst was obtained. XRD results show that Fe in the composite converts to the γ-Fe2O3 phase up to a processing temperature of 700 ℃, and further increase in temperature results in the formation of the α-Fe2O3 phase. The TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 samples obtained are monodisperse spherical particles with 200～250 nm diameter, well coated firstly by an amorphous SiO2 layer and then by an anatase TiO2 layer. The TiO2/SiO2/γ-Fe2O3-SiO2 particles retain their magnetic property well and show high activity for the photocatalytic degradation of salicylhydroxamic acid.     

Conversion of CO2 to ethanol by using a metal-organic framework catalyst

<正>With the development of CO_2 capture technology, CO_2 can become an attractive C1 resource for synthesizing commodity chemicals. For example, direct conversion of CO_2 to ethanol is of interest, but this process is also quite challenging, because it requires both the formation of one C–C bond and the retention of one C–O bond [1]. A combination of dual active sites, one for methanol formation and one for C–C coupling has been widely investigated for such a conversion, but an unbalanced rate in the two steps frequently leads to the formation of either methanol or long-chain hydrocarbons [2].     

Pd/Hβ-zeolite catalysts for catalytic combustion of toluene:Effect of SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio

The effect of pure and high silica Hβ zeolites on the catalytic performance of toluene combustion over Pd/Hβ catalyst was evaluated.Pure and high silica β zeolites were prepared by direct synthesis procedures,then 0.1 wt% of palladium was impregnated on different Hβ zeolites via in-cipient wetness technique using palladium nitrate as the Pd source.The Pd/Hβ catalysts were characterized by XRD,N2 adsorption/desorption,H2O adsorption,NH3-TPD,H2-TPR and XPS techniques.With increasing the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of β zeolite,the activity of the Pd/Hβ catalysts for toluene combustion increased clearly and the pure silica β zeolite supported Pd catalyst showed the best catalytic activity.The superior catalytic performance of Pd/β catalyst prepared from pure silica β zeolite was attributed to its high hydrophobicity and the preserving ability for PdO active species.     

Protic ionic liquid-promoted synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from ethylene carbonate and methanol

In this work,the protic ionic liquid[DBUH][Im](1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undeceniumimidazolide)was developed as an efficient catalyst for the transesterification of ethylene carbonate with methanol to produce dimethyl carbonate.At 70℃,up to 97%conversion of ethylene carbonate and 91%yield of dimethyl ca rbonate were obtained with 1 mol%[DBUH][Im](relative to ethylene carbonate)as catalyst in 2 h.Even at room temperature,the conversion of ethylene carbonate can reach 94%and the yield of dimethyl carbonate can approach 81%for 6 h.Catalytic mechanism investigation showed the high catalytic efficiency of this ionic liquid results from the synergistic activation effect,wherein the cation can activate ethylene carbonate and the anion can activate methanol through hydrogen bond formatio n.Although the reusability of the ionic liquid need to be further improved,high efficiency and comme rcial availability of[DBUH][Im]render it a promising catalyst for the preparation of dimethyl carbonate.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Heptanuclear Ruthenium- and Sodium-containing Polyoxomolybdate [{Na(H_2O)_3}_2{Ru(dmso)_3}_2(MoO_4)_3]·_3H_2O

1 INTRODUCTION Polyoxomolybdates have been of great interest due to their unique structural varieties, associated multitude of properties and applications as catalysis, medicine and material[1, 2]. One of the most impor- tant aspects is the synthesis and investigation of the materials on polyoxomolybdates containing organo- metallic groups[3～5]. Such materials can provide molecular models for heterogeneous catalysis and display cooperative effects or bifunctional catalytic activity[6]. O…     

Metathesis of Butylene-2 and Ethylene to Propylene over 3.0Mo／（Hβ＋γ-Al2O3） Catalysts with Different γ-Al2O3 Contents

A series of 3. OMo/(Hβ γ-Al2O3) samples with γ-Al2O3 contents in the range of 0-100% (mass fraction) was studied by means of XRD, NH3-TPD, TPR and BET determinations for characterizing their structures. The Hβ zeolite structure in the 3.0Mo/Hβ sample can be effectively stabilized by adding some γ-Al2O3 to Hβ zeolite. γ-Al2O3 mainly favors the formation of polymolybdate or multilayered Mo oxide, while Hβ mainly forms the Al2(MoO4)3 species, as evaluated by the TPR technique. When used as the catalyst for the metathesis of butylene-2 and ethylene to propylene, there exists a close correlation between the specific surface area and stability of the catalyst. The specific surface area of the catalyst shows the maximum when (Hβ γ-Al2O3) contains 30%γ-Al2O3, which is in agreement with that of the time needed for the reaction stablization. In the case of maximum surface area, the rate of coke deposition is the minimum.
