Synergistic effects of potassium promoter and carbon fibers on direct synthesis of isobutanol from syngas over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts obtained from hydrotalcite-like compounds

The Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalysts (CuZnAl) can be utilized to directly synthesize higher alcohols from syngas under mild conditions. Carbon fibers (CFs) are widely used as a catalyst supporter, and potassium is usually used as a good electron assistant for charge transfer to the active phase of the catalyst. However, little is known about the combined effects of CFs and potassium on Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalysts. In this work, the CuZnAl catalysts supported on activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared by a co-precipitation method, and then the catalysts were modified by potassium. The catalytic performances of K-modified CuZnAl and composites containing ACFs and CuZnAl were evaluated. Addition of ACFs and/or potassium increased CO conversion and selectivity for isobutanol compared with pure CuZnAl. All the samples were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM–EDS, CO–TPD, and Raman spectroscopy to further disclose the reason for better catalytic performance of the catalysts with ACFs and/or potassium. We found that addition of ACFs or potassium promotes moderate CO adsorption and formation of the active phase (CuO/ZnO solid solution) during alcohol synthesis, which facilitates synthesis of higher alcohols and CO conversion. As a result, ACFs and potassium exhibited synergistic effects on improvement of CO conversion and selectivity for isobutanol.     

Bifunctional Onium and Potassium Iodides as Nucleophilic Catalysts for the Solvent-Free Syntheses of Carbonates,Thiocarbonates, and Oxazolidinones from Epoxides

The catalytic potential of organo-onium iodides as nucleophilic catalysts is aptly demonstrated in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO₂), as a representative CO₂ utilization reaction. Although organo-onium iodide nucleophilic catalysts are metal-free environmentally benign catalysts, harsh reaction conditions are generally required to efficiently promote the coupling reactions of epoxides and CO₂. To solve this problem and accomplish efficient CO₂ utilization reactions under mild conditions, bifunctional onium iodide nucleophilic catalysts bearing a hydrogen bond donor moiety were developed by our research group. Based on the successful bifunctional design of the onium iodide catalysts, nucleophilic catalysis using a potassium iodide (KI)-tetraethylene glycol complex was also investigated in coupling reactions of epoxides and CO₂ under mild reaction conditions. These effective bifunctional onium and potassium iodide nucleophilic catalysts were applied to the solvent-free syntheses of 2-oxazolidinones and cyclic thiocarbonates from epoxides.     

Effects of promoters on catalytic performance of Fe-Co/SiO2 catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

2%Fe-10%Co/SiO₂ catalysts with different potassium or zirconium loadings were prepared by aqueous incipient wetness impregnation and tested for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a flow reactor, using H₂/CO = 1.6 (molar ratio) in the feed, under the condition of an overall pressure of 1 MPa, GHSV of 600 h⁻¹ and temperature of 503 K. The zirconium and potassium promoters remarkably influenced hydrocarbon distribution of the products. CO conversion increased on the catalysts with the increase of zirconium loadings, which indicated that zirconium enhanced the activity of iron-cobalt catalysts. Low potassium loadings also enhanced the activity of the catalysts. However, high potassium loading made CO conversion on the catalysts decrease and weakened the secondary hydrogenations. The catalyst was characterized by BET, XRD and TPR. The catalyst characterization revealed that the Co₃O₄ phase was presented on the fresh catalyst, whereas the spinel phase of Fe-Co alloy and CoO existed on the used catalyst.     

Synthesis of methyl acetoacetate from acetone and dimethyl carbonate with alkali-promoted MgO catalysts

The synthesis of methyl acetoacetate (MAA) by methoxycarbonylation of acetone with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was carried out in the presence of MgO and alkali-promoted MgO catalysts. From among Li, Na, K, and Cs, potassium was found to be the most effective promoter to improve the activity of MgO. The effect of K/MgO with variable content of K was also investigated, and the individual catalysts were characterised by the XRD, BET, SEM, CO₂-TPD, and in situ CO₂ IR techniques. The results showed that the addition of a small amount of K (1.97 mass %) could promote MAA formation, but a higher K loading caused a decrease in the yield of MAA, which might result from particle agglomeration and the presence of stable potassium carbonates. In situ FTIR experiments of co-adsorbed reactants indicated that the reaction probably proceeded via abstraction of H_α from acetone by base sites.     

Ammoxidation of methylpyrazine over vanadium-titanium catalysts modified by alkali additives

Vanadium-titanium catalysts modified with sodium or potassium additives (1-15 wt.% of Me₂O) have been studied in methylpyrazine ammoxidation. Introduction of the additives results in a decrease in the activity and selectivity of the catalysts due to formation of low-active phase - bronzes (MeV₆O₁₅) and vanadates (α-NaVO₃, KVO₃ and K₃V₅O₁₄). The active sites of the modified samples, similar to those in the V-Ti-O catalyst, are found to be V⁵⁺ cations strongly bound to TiO₂ and located in a significantly distorted octahedral oxygen environment.

Oxidative conversion of methane and methanol on M/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>/cordierite structured metal oxide catalysts (m = Ni,Cu, Zn)

A study was carried out on the properties of Ni/Al₂O₃ and Cu-ZnO/Al₂O₃ composites supported on ceramic honeycomb monoliths made from synthetic cordierite in the carbon dioxide conversion of methane and the partial oxidation of methanol. The structured nickel-alumina catalysts are significantly more efficient than the conventional granulated catalysts. The improved working stability of these catalysts was achieved by adjusting the acid-base properties of the surface by introducing sodium and potassium oxides, which leads to inhibition of surface carbonization. The hydrogen yield was close to 90% in the partial oxidation of methanol with a stoichiometric reagent ratio in the presence of the Cu-ZnO/Al₂O₃/cordierite catalyst. A synergistic effect was found, reducing the selectivity of CO formation in the presence of the Cu-ZnO catalyst relative to samples derived from the individual components Cu and ZnO. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 299–306, September–October, 2007.     

Dynamics of carbide formation in iron-supported catalysts of the Fischer–Tropsch process promoted by copper and potassium

The kinetics of the formation of iron carbides during the activation of iron-coated catalyst for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis promoted by copper and potassium, and by carbon monoxide and syngas, is studied. It is established that the presence of copper lowers the initial temperature of hematite reduction to magnetite and leads to the formation of carbide in both CO and СО/Н₂. Potassium slows the rate of magnetite formation, but it accelerates the formation of iron oxide. It is shown that the rate of carbide formation during magnetite reduction for catalysts is half that in the reaction of hematite reduction to magnetite in both CO and СО/Н₂.     

The influence of the nature of phosphine ligand on palladium catalysts for cross-coupling of weakly nucleophilic potassium pentafluorophenyltrifluoroborate with ArHal and PhCH2Hal (Hal=Br,Cl)

The influence of the ligand nature on catalytic activity of palladium catalysts for cross-coupling of weakly nucleophilic potassium pentafluorophenyltrifluoroborate, which imitates the behavior of electron-deficient organoboron reagents, with aryl halides, ArHal (Hal=Br, Cl) was studied. The activity of the catalysts generated in situ from Pd(OAc)₂ and appropriate phosphorous containing ligands and the reaction selectivity was found to depend on the nature of bulky phosphines used as ligands. As a result, conditions for involving the electron-deficient organoboron reagent—potassium pentafluorophenyltrifluoroborate—in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl bromides and aryl chlorides were identified. It was demonstrated that the chosen conditions are appropriate for the reaction of K[C₆F₅BF₃] with benzyl chloride and benzyl bromide deriving pentafluorophenylarylmethanes, C₆F₅CH₂Ar.     

Heterogeneous catalysts based on B/P/O for the monoetherification of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene in the gas phase

Boron–phosphorus mixed oxides were tested as heterogeneous catalysts for the gas-phase etherification of catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) with methanol, aimed at the production of guaiacol (1-methoxyphenol). This reaction represents an alternative to the etherification processes which makes use of homogeneous catalysts in the liquid phase. The activity of the catalysts was found to depend considerably on the B/P atomic ratio. A catalyst having B/P = 1.0, made of BPO₄, exhibited the best results in terms of (i) conversion of catechol, (ii) selectivity to guaiacol, and (iii) steadiness of performance with time-on-stream. Characterisation of the catalyst using TPD of NH₃ evidenced that this catalyst has the optimal surface acidity, which makes the undesired reactions of tar formation and ring-alkylation slower. Supporting the B/P/O catalysts on α-Al₂O₃ resulted in lower activity, but the catalytic performance was less dependent on the B/P ratio. Doping with potassium resulted in a lowering of the number of acid sites; however, small amounts of dopant led to an increase in activity, possibly due to a co-operation effect between basic and acid sites.     

Variation of the activity of СuO·ZnO·K<Subscript>2</Subscript>O/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalysts during generation in dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde

The development of the catalytic properties of supported model catalysts СuO·ZnO·K₂O/SiO₂ with different component ratios in methanol dehydrogenation was studied. In the temperature interval 400–500°С, the formation of the target product, formaldehyde, is accompanied by the formation of surface polymeric hydrocarbons, which undergo gradual condensation to coke with the evolution of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. By properly combining the concentrations of the supported components and the sequence of the deposition of zinc, copper, and potassium oxides, it is possible to reduce the time in which the steady-state catalyst operation mode is reached and to improve the catalyst selectivity with respect to formaldehyde formation.     

Selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide over potassium promoted vanadium oxide on a alumina catalysts

The effect of potassium addition to alumina supported vanadium catalysts on the catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of H₂S is investigated. XRD, XPS and XANES have been used to characterize a series of K-V/Al₂O₃catalysts. The enhanced sulphur yield has been correlated with the crystallinity of vanadium.

FeMn、FeMnNa和FeMnK催化剂上合成气制低碳烯烃的比较

研究了钠、钾助剂对FeMn 合成低碳烯烃催化剂结构及性能的影响. 低温N₂吸附、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、X射线衍射（XRD）、H₂程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）、CO/CO₂程序升温脱附（CO/CO₂-TPD）、Mössbauer 谱和CO+H₂反应的研究结果表明,增加Mn助剂含量促进了活性相的分散和低碳烯烃的生成,而过多锰助剂在催化剂表面的富集则降低了费托合成反应的CO转化率;钾助剂和钠助剂的加入均抑制了催化剂的还原并且促进了CO₂和CO的吸附. 比较还原后（H₂/CO摩尔比为20）和反应后（H₂/CO摩尔比为3.5）催化剂的体相结构可以发现,在FeMn、FeMnNa和FeMnK催化剂中,由于钾助剂的碱性和CO吸附能力较强,因此体相中FeC_x的含量相对较高;而活性测试结果表明,FeMnNa催化剂拥有最好的CO转化率（96.2%）和低碳烯烃选择性（30.5%,摩尔分数）.     

Marked Effect of Various Supports and Additives Upon Liquid Phase Methanol Reforming with Water over Supported Group 8–10 Metal Catalysts

The support effects (SiO₂, TiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO, CeO₂ and ZrO₂) as well as addition effect of group 6b and 7b elements were studied over various supported group 8–10 metal catalysts. Basic oxide support improved the selectivity to CO₂ and acidic support suppressed the catalytic activity and selectivity. Among the investigated catalysts Pt–Mo/TiO₂ was the most active catalysts, whereas Ir–Re/SiO₂ was the most selective catalysts for H₂ and CO₂ formation. The mechanism of the liquid phase methanol reforming reaction over silica supported Pt–Ru catalyst was studied by kinetic investigations. The rate of H₂ formation over Pt–Ru/SiO₂ catalysts was more than 20 times faster than that over Pt/SiO₂ catalysts with high selectivity for CO₂ (72.3%), indicating a marked addition effect of Ru. In the case of HCHO–H₂O reaction over Pt–Ru/SiO₂, the H₂ formation rate was five times larger than that in the CH₃OH–H₂O reaction but selectivity to CO₂ was only 4%. On the contrary, in the HCOOCH₃–H₂O and HCOOH–H₂O reactions, both high activity and selectivity were observed over Pt–Ru/SiO₂. These results clearly indicate that the CO₂ formation does not proceed via HCHO decomposition and following water gas shift reaction.     

Mannich-Type Reaction for Synthesis of 3-Methyl-4-nitroimino-tetrahydro-1,3,5-oxadiazine

The reaction of N-methyl-N′-nitroguanidine with 3-methyl-4-nitroimino-tetrahydro-1,3,5-oxadiazine is a Mannich-type reaction. The reaction was catalyzed by several organic and inorganic bases at different reaction times and temperatures. Three inorganic base catalysts [potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃), sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)] and several organic bases (methylamine, ethamine, iso-propylamine, and n-butylamine) have been studied. The results showed that both the inorganic and organic base catalysts can be used as catalysts, with the organic bases performing better. N-Methyl-N′-nitroguanidine reacts to give the title compound 2 and is catalyzed by both acids and bases. The intensity of inorganic base catalysts, reaction temperature, and reaction time had significant effects on the products.     

AN XPS study of the interaction of model Ba/TiO2 AND Ba/ZrO2 NSR catalysts with NO2

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to study the interaction of model NO₂ storage-reduction catalysts (NSR catalysts) Ba/TiO₂ and Ba/ZrO₂ with NO₂. The catalysts are prepared on the surface of ultrathin Al₂O₃ film substrates obtained by the FeCrAl alloy oxidation. It is shown that at room temperature the model catalysts react with NO₂ with the successive formation of surface barium nitrite and nitrate. The NO₂ reduction with the formation of barium nitrite at the initial step of the interaction is assumed to be accompanied by the oxidation of residual metallic barium and amorphous carbon impurity. It is found that the formation of barium nitrate proceeds more efficiently on Ba/ZrO₂ rather than on Ba/TiO₂.     

Synthesis and Structure of Potassium Oxodiperoxovanadate

The crystal structure of a dimeric potassium hydroxonium oxodiperoxovanadate, K₃(H₃O)[{VO(O₂)₂}₂(-O)], was studied in the course of developing methods for the preparation of new oxidation catalysts, i.e., dodecyltrimethylammonium and potassium oxodiperoxovanadates. The latter are intended to be used in interphase catalysis for the oxidation of organic substances.     

The Synergistic Effect of a Bimetallic Catalyst for the Synthesis of Carbon Nanotube Aerogels and their Predominant Chirality

Synthesis of continuous spinnable carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is the most promising method for producing CNT fibers for commercial applications. The floating-catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) method is a rapid process that achieves catalyst formation, CNT nucleation and growth, and aerogel-like sock formation within a few seconds. However, the formation mechanism is unknown. Herein, the progress of CNT fiber formation with bimetallic catalysts was studied, and the effect of catalyst composition to CNT fiber synthesis and their structural properties was investigated. In the case of bimetallic catalysts, the carbon source rapidly decomposes and generates various secondary hydrocarbon species, such as CH₄, C₂H₄, C₂H₂, C₃H₆, and C₄H₁₀ whereas monometallic catalysts generate only CH₄ and C₂H₄ on decomposition. CNT fiber formation with Fe₁Ni₀ begins about 400 mm from the reactor entrance, whereas CNT formation with Fe_0.8Ni_0.2 and Fe_0.5Ni_0.5 begins at about 500 and 300 mm, respectively. The formed CNT bundles and individual CNTs are oriented along the gas flow at these locations. The enhanced rate of fiber formation and lowering of growth temperature associated with bimetallic catalysts is explained by the synergistic effects between the two metals. The synthesized CNTs become predominantly semiconducting with increasing Ni contents.     

Dual roles of trifluoroborate in nickel-catalyzed ethylene polymerization: Electronic perturbation and anchoring for heterogenization

Brookhart-type α-diimine nickel and palladium catalysts have been extensively studied over the past several decades; however, the heterogenization of these metal complexes has received much less attention. In this contribution, we installed a trifluoroborate potassium substituent on an α-diimine framework. The ionic nature of trifluoroborate potassium endowed the α-diimine nickel complex with a strong affinity for the SiO₂ support, while its electron-donating nature enhanced the catalyst stability and polyethylene molecular weight. In the presence of only 100 equiv. of Et₂AlCl cocatalyst, the SiO₂-supported catalyst demonstrated significantly better performance than its homogeneous analog during ethylene polymerization, with extremely high activity (1.42–6.53 × 10⁷ g mol⁻¹ h⁻¹) and high thermal stability. The heterogeneous system led to the formation of high-molecular-weight polyethylenes (M_n 142,500–732,800 g/mol), narrow polydispersities (2.18–3.00), tunable branching densities (21–64 per 1000 carbon atoms), and great mechanical properties. Moreover, the efficient copolymerization of ethylene with comonomers such as methyl 10-undecenoate, 6-chloro-1-hexene or 5-hexenylacetate was achieved. These superior properties enabled by the trifluoroborate potassium moiety may inspire its applications in other polymerization catalyst systems.     

Effect of the microstructure of the supported catalysts CuO/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and CuO/(CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>) on their catalytic properties in carbon monoxide oxidation

The effect of the microstructure of titanium dioxide on the structure, thermal stability, and catalytic properties of supported CuO/TiO₂ and CuO/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts in CO oxidation was studied. The formation of a nanocrystalline structure was found in the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts calcined at 500°C. This nanocrystalline structure consisted of aggregated fine anatase particles about 10 nm in size and interblock boundaries between them, in which Cu²⁺ ions were stabilized. Heat treatment of this catalyst at 700°C led to a change in its microstructure with the formation of fine CuO particles 2.5–3 nm in size, which were strongly bound to the surface of TiO₂ (anatase) with a regular well-ordered crystal structure. In the CuO/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts, the nanocrystalline structure of anatase was thermally more stable than in the CuO/TiO₂ catalyst, and it persisted up to 700°C. The study of the catalytic properties of the resulting catalysts showed that the CuO/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts with the nanocrystalline structure of anatase were characterized by the high-est activity in CO oxidation to CO₂.
