Effect of pressure on the oxidative conversion of ethane on VMoTeNbO catalyst

Study of the catalytic properties of the VMoTeNbO catalyst in the oxidative conversion of ethane to ethylene at pressures of 0.1 to 2.1 MPa demonstrated that the pressure positively affects the conversion of ethane and favors formation of oxygen -containing products of deep and partial oxidation: carbon oxides and acetic acid, respectively. With increasing pressure, the yield of the product of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane, i.e., ethylene, decreases.     

羟基化氮化硼催化乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯

乙烯是最为重要的化工原料之一,目前其工业来源主要来自于烃类的水蒸汽裂解过程.该过程本质上是一个高温均相裂解过程,温度(>800?℃)高,能耗大,碳排放严重.乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯属于放热反应,反应温度低,速率快,无积碳等限制,是一条更富有竞争力的工艺路线.然而,常用的金属或金属氧化物催化剂容易导致乙烯深度氧化,从而降低了乙烯选择性.纳米碳材料在烃类氧化脱氢反应中展现出一定的催化活性,但容易被氧化,难以用于反应温度高的乙烷氧化脱氢反应.本文报道了羟基化的氮化硼(BNOH)可高效催化乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯.氮化硼边沿羟基官能团脱氢生成了动态活性位,从而引发了乙烷的脱氢反应.BNOH对乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯显示出高选择性.当乙烷转化率在11%,乙烯选择性可高达95%;当乙烷转化率增加到40%,乙烯选择性保持在90%.重要的是,当乙烷转化率超过60%时,BNOH仍然可保持80%的乙烯选择性以及50%的乙烯收率.这些性能指标与现有工业乙烷水蒸气裂解过程运行性能相当.进一步优化反应条件,BNOH催化剂能够实现高达9.1 gC2H4 gcat-1 h-1的时空收率.经过200 h的氧化脱氢反应测试,BNOH催化剂活性和选择性基本恒定,表明其具有非常好的稳定性.X射线粉末衍射结果显示,反应前后BNOH催化剂的物相没有发生变化.透射电子显微镜测试证实,反应后BNOH催化剂的形貌和微观结构也没有明显改变.X射线光电子能谱结果显示,反应200 h后BNOH催化剂表面的氧含量仅从反应前的6.9 atom%微增到8.3 atom%.1H固体核磁共振谱测试显示,反应200 h后,BNOH催化剂上羟基含量无明显改变.结合原位透射红外光谱和同位素示踪实验,初步确定了BNOH催化剂上引发乙烷氧化脱氢反应的活性中心.氮化硼边沿的氧官能团并不能引发乙烷的氧化脱氢反应,而羟基官能团才是氧化脱氢反应发生的活性位.在乙烷氧化脱氢条件下,分子氧脱除羟基官能团上的氢原子动态生成BNO·?和HO2·?活性位.密度泛函理论计算表明,乙烷首先在BNO·?或HO2·?位活化生成乙基自由基,这些中间物进一步与气相氧物种发生反应脱氢生成乙烯.动力学测试结果也验证了上述实验和理论结果.     

Recent topics of gold catalyst featuring Z-type ligands

In the long history regarding the development of the transition metal-catalyzed reactions, almost all ligands in metals are classified as the covalent X-type and/or dative L-type ligands. Therefore, exploring the reactivity of the metal complexes bearing the σ-acceptor, i.e., the Z-ligand, is required. This digest briefly describes our recent results regarding 1) the syntheses of gold complexes featuring the Z-type ligand, and 2) their catalytic reactions, which would be speculated that the electron-withdrawing effect of the Z-ligand on the neighboring gold activated the catalytic reactivity due to the increase in the Lewis acidity.     

Anion-binding catalyst designs for enantioselective synthesis

Select hydrogen bond donors can catalyze reactions of ion pairs through the recognition of anions. This mode of action can be exploited in enantioselective catalysis if a suitable chiral hydrogen bond donor is applied. Beyond just anionic recognition, an enantioselective anion-binding catalyst often must host numerous non-covalent interactions, including hydrogen bonding, general base, π-π, and π-cation, to achieve high levels of enantiocontrol. Anion-binding catalysts can be strategically designed to support those non-covalent interactions required to render a process highly stereoselective. Tactics applied in anion-binding catalyst development include enhancing arene substituents for improved π-stacking, linking two anion-binding units together on a single scaffold, expanding types of functional groups for anion recognition, and building frameworks with bifunctional modes of action. The intent of this digest is to highlight observations that suggest as anion-binding catalyst designs advance, their associated synthetic methodologies for complex molecule construction become increasingly impressive.     

Effect of group VIII elements on the behavior of Li/CaO catalyst in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

The effect of addition of group VIII elements to Li/CaO on the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane has been investigated in the range of 550–650°c. Iron, cobalt and nickel promote the reaction. The experiments show that iron and cobalt additives in Li/CaO catalysts mainly increase the catalytic activity. Li/Ni/CaO catalyst gives a high ethane conversion and excellent ethylene selectivity. The results on the catalyst are probably due to coordinative interaction between lithium and nickel. The characteristics of the catalysts revealed by XRD also give evidence that the promotion for both catalytic activity and ethylene selectivity is directly related to the formation of favorable crystal phases.     

Synthesis of N-Sulfonylformamidines by tert-butyl Hydroperoxide–Promoted,metal-free,direct oxidative dehydrogenation of aliphatic amines

A direct and convenient metal-free method to prepare sulfonyl amidines in the presence of aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide (T-HYDRO) has been developed. Different tertiary and secondary amines were tested for compatibility with the oxidative conditions and could be coupled with sulfonyl azides to form the corresponding amidines in moderate to good yields.

Modification of VPO catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

Based on the previously discussed hypothesis concerning the mechanism of conversion of paraffins, we have modified the structure of VPO catalysts by developing the (220) plane of VOHPO₄·0.5H₂O and introducing a bismuth additive. We have shown that this leads to an increase in the P/V ratio on the surface, an increase in the number of Lewis centers and the strength of such centers, and a change in the ratio of Lewis centers to Brönsted centers. The change in the surface characteristics of the samples, in accordance with the hypotheses, improves their properties in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane, increasing the catalytic activity and the yield of the target product ethylene.

Solid supported Hayashi–Jørgensen catalyst as an efficient and recyclable organocatalyst for asymmetric Michael addition reactions

A comparison of three different catalytic systems for the efficient, asymmetric synthesis of N-({(3R,4R)-4-[(benzyloxy)methyl]pyrrolidin-3-yl}methyl)-N-(2-methylpropyl)benzenesulfonamide 1 (BZN) is described. The presented strategy is based on the organocatalytic Michael addition of aldehyde 2 to trans-nitroalkene 3, and subsequent reductive cyclization. High yields, enantio-, and diastereoselectivities were achieved in the Michael addition by application of a POSS- or Wang resin-supported Hayashi–Jørgensen catalyst.     

Effect of the conditions of preparing mixed oxide catalyst of Mo-V-Te-Nb-O composition on its activity in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

It is shown that catalytic activity of mixed oxide catalyst of Mo-V-Te-Nb-O composition in oxidative dehydrogenation (OD) of ethane is determined to a substantial degree by the Nb-to-(C₂O₄)^2? ratio in niobium-containing precursors. A pH value of 2.8 to 3.0 for a mixture is optimal when conducting the hydrothermal synthesis of a mixed oxide catalyst; this is achieved by using oxaloniobic acid as a niobium-containing precursor. It is determined that substituting antimony for tellurium results in a loss of catalyst activity during the OD of ethane. The optimum Te content in a catalyst is 0.17 mol %.     

The role of water in promoting the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

The addition of water vapor has a strong positive effect on the rate of ethane oxidation at 575°C. This effect is attributed to the role of H₂O as a third body in the decomposition of H₂O₂ to OH radicals. Carbon tetrafluoride likewise enhances the rate of ethane conversion, although not to the extent realized with H₂O. A kinetic model, based on known elementary reactions, adequately accounts for the conversions and selectivities observed as a function of H₂O pressure, temperature, contact time, and O₂ pressure. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

助剂P对Ni-Al-O催化剂乙烷氧化脱氢性能的影响

通过一锅水热法制备了一系列磷改性Ni-Al-O催化剂(Px-Ni-Al-O)，以O₂为氧化剂，评价了系列催化剂的乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯性能。结果表明，助剂P的掺入不仅可以减小NiO晶粒的尺寸，还影响了Ni和Al之间的相互作用。在350~475℃的温度范围内，P改性Ni-Al-O催化剂上乙烯选择性均高于未改性的催化剂，且适量P的引入还可以提高乙烷转化率。当反应温度为475℃时，P_0.15-Ni-Al-O催化剂上乙烯选择性和收率分别为61.4%和31.9%。此外，P改性后的催化剂表现出较强的抗积碳性能，连续反应22 h不失活。

乙烷在氧化镍上催化氧化脱氢的反应机理研究

应用O~2-TPD,脉冲实验,原位Weiss磁测量以及TAP(temporalanalysisofproducts)技术对NiO上的乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯催化作用机理进行了研究。结果表明,NiO中的非化学计量氧表现出与气相氧交换的可逆性,其中在较低温度下脱附的α氧(很可能是O~2^-,O~2^2^-)仅存在于催化剂表面,与气相氧交换迅速,而较高温下脱附的β氧(很可能是O^-)不仅存在于催化剂表面,还存在于催化剂体相。β氧较α氧表现出更高的乙烯选择性。在反应条件下,Ni均应处于高氧化态(Ni^(^2^+^δ^)^+,0≤δ≤1),一旦催化剂中有微量Ni^0生成,乙烷便发生裂解反应,乙烯选择性立即降为零。乙烷在NiO上的氧化脱氢(ODHE)的可能反应机理为:首先乙烷与NiO中的非化学计量氧O~n(~s~)作用脱除一个α-H生成乙基自由基,然后进一步脱除一个β-H生成乙烯,乙烯生成的整个过程是在催化剂表面上进行的;副产物CO~2是由表面乙烯进一步氧化(很可能是与O~2^-,O~2^2^-作用)生成的。失去O~n~(~s~)的NiO在反应体系(一定的氧分压)中,重新生成含非化学计量氧的NiO。
