Effect of preparation methods of aluminum emulsions on catalytic performance of copper-based catalysts for methanol synthesis from syngas

Various Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts have been synthesized by different aluminum emulsions as aluminum sources and their performances for methanol synthesis from syngas have been investigated. The influences of preparation methods of aluminum emulsions on physicochemical and catalytic properties of catalysts were studied by XRD, SEM, XPS, N2 adsorption--desorption techniques and methanol synthesis from syngas. The preparation methods of aluminum emulsions were found to influence the catalytic activity, CuO crystallite size, surface area and Cu⁰ surface area and reduction process. The results show that the catalyst CN using the aluminum source prepared by addition the ammonia into the aluminum nitrate (NP) exhibited the best catalytic performance for methanol synthesis from syngas.     

Cu的负载方法对CuSAPO-34脱除柴油车尾气中NOx的影响

采用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、原子吸收、程序升温还原、X射线吸收近边吸收谱、X射线光电子能谱、氮吸附等手段对水热合成(HS)、等体积浸渍(PVI)与离子交换(IE)法制备的CuSAPO-34样品进行了表征,并评价了老化前后催化剂上C₃H₆-SCR与NH₃-SCR脱除模拟柴油车尾气中NO_x的反应活性.结果表明,IE法制得的催化剂活性最高,尤其在C₃H₆-SCR低温阶段;PVI法制得的催化剂活性最差.制备方法影响CuSAPO-34催化剂的比表面积、孔径分布和活性组分价态从而改变其催化活性.各催化剂均存在Cu⁺和Cu²⁺,但比例明显不同.HS样品以Cu²⁺为主,另两种样品则含较多的Cu⁺.老化不仅部分破坏了分子筛的形貌、降低了分子筛的比表面积,尤其是表面Cu含量,而且有部分Cu生成了CuSO₄,使得老化后催化剂的脱硝活性降低.PVI法制得的催化剂老化后活性下降幅度最小,表明该分子筛抗老化能力较强.

Study of nano‐Cu/SiO2 catalysts for highly selective hydrogenation of acetophenone

Hydrogenation of acetophenone over nano‐Cu/SiO₂ catalysts was investigated. The catalysts, prepared by a liquid precipitation method using various precipitating agents, were characterized using low‐temperature nitrogen adsorption, X‐ray diffraction, temperature‐programmed desorption of ammonia, hydrogen temperature‐programmed reduction, transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the catalysts prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method had better activity and stability than those prepared by a co‐precipitation method. The catalyst prepared using urea as precipitating agent had well‐dispersed copper species, high surface area and abundant pore structure. The catalytic performance and mechanism of the Cu/SiO₂ catalysts were further studied. It was found that the activity and stability of the catalysts could be improved by adjusting the proportion of Cu⁺/(Cu⁺ + Cu⁰). The sample prepared using urea as precipitating agent presented higher activity and selectivity. Also, the catalyst prepared using urea maintained a high catalytic performance while being continuously used for 150 h under the optimal reaction conditions.

Highly dispersed Cu supported on mesoporous Al-KIT-6 for oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate

Microporous NaY zeolite is a common support of Cu catalysts for oxidative carbonylation of methanol, but the dispersion of Cu species on NaY is usually subjected to its micropore size. Here, ordered mesoporous KIT-6 was employed as the support for Cu catalyst and Al was incorporated into its framework to increase the surface acidity, which eventually improves the surface exchange capacity and Cu dispersion. The evolution of the state of Cu species on KIT-6 was analyzed combined with control of Cu loading. The physicochemical properties of the supports and corresponding catalysts were characterized by N₂ adsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction, ammonia temperature programmed desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectra, transmission electron microscopy, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that mesoporous KIT-6 showed better Cu dispersion than microporous NaY zeolite. Agglomerated CuO, dispersed CuO, and Cu²⁺ are the major Cu species observed on the catalyst surface. The increased surface acidic sites of KIT-6 by Al incorporation promoted the formation of Cu²⁺ and dispersion of CuO. With the increase in Cu loading, the Cu²⁺ content in the catalyst was decreased gradually along with increase in the bulk CuO. It was speculated that some exchanged Cu²⁺ could be transformed into highly dispersed CuO and even bulk CuO after calcination at a high Cu loading. Combined with the catalyst evaluation results, it was deduced that highly dispersed Cu²⁺ and CuO particles play significant roles in catalytic activity. The catalyst Cu/Al-K-10 achieved the highest space time yield of dimethyl carbonate of 135.4 mg/(g·h), which is 2.7 times the Cu/K-10 owing to its more dispersed Cu species. This laid the basis for preparing highly dispersed Cu species on mesoporous silica supports.     

Controlling carbon monoxide emissions from automobile vehicle exhaust using copper oxide catalysts in a catalytic converter

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a very poisonous gas present in the atmosphere. It has significant effects on human beings, animals, plants and the climate. Automobile vehicle exhaust contributes 64% of the CO pollution in urban areas. To control this exhaust pollution, various types of catalysts in catalytic converters have been investigated. Increasing costs of noble metals as a catalyst in automobile vehicles motivates the investigation of material that can be substituted for noble metals. Among the non-noble metals, copper (Cu) is found to be the most capable and highly active catalyst for CO oxidation, compared to precious metal catalysts. Lower cost, easy availability and advance preparation conditions with stabilizers, promoters and so on, make Cu a good choice as an auto exhaust purification catalyst. The oxidation of CO proceeds very quickly over Cu°, followed by Cu⁺ and Cu²⁺. The Cu₂O catalyst is more active in an O₂-rich atmosphere than in O₂-lean conditions. The reduced species of copper (Cu⁰, Cu⁺) are essential for better CO oxidation but smaller Cu particles could be less active than the higher ones. There is a great deal of research available on the Cu catalyst for CO oxidation, but there is a gap in the literature for a review article individually applied to the Cu catalyst for CO oxidation. To fill this gap, the present review updates information on Cu catalysts in the purification of exhaust gases.     

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.

Controlling the Catalytic Properties of Copper-Containing Oxide Catalysts

The results of a systematic study of the formation of Cu–Zn, Cu–Zn–Al, Cu–Zn–Cr, Cu–Zn–Si, Cu–Cr, and Cu–Si oxide catalysts with a widely varied ratio between their components are generalized within the chemical approach developed by G.K. Boreskov to establish the quantitative relation between their chemical composition and catalytic activity. Simultaneously, their catalytic properties, such as selectivity and activity, are measured under the same conditions in the methanol synthesis and dehydrogenation and water gas shift reactions, whose common feature is a reductive reaction medium. The activity of Cu–Zn–Al–Cr— Si-oxide catalysts in all the studied reactions is governed by the Cu⁰ nanoparticles formed on their surface in the process of reductive activation. Nanoparticles of different catalysts have similar sizes (3–8 nm). However, the ratios between the catalytic activities per unit of the copper surface area for catalysts with various structures of their oxide support (spinel, wurtzite, zincsilite, or silica type) are appreciably different in each reaction. The relation between the chemical composition of a catalyst and its catalytic activity in a certain reaction is established by the chemical composition of its precursor representing a hydroxo compound, i.e., the nature of the selected cations and the quantitative ratio between them. The decomposition of hydroxo compounds to oxides (and the further activation of oxides) should be performed at medium temperatures, providing the incomplete elimination of ОН^– and CO₃^2- anions, i.e., the formation of anion-modified oxides. The structure of the latter and the type of interaction between Cu⁰ nanoparticles and an oxide support are governed by the structure of the hydroxo precursor compound.

Synthesis of Higher Alcohols via Syngas on Cu/Zn/Si Catalysts. Effect of Polyethylene Glycol Content

Cu/Zn/Si catalysts with different polyethylene glycol (PEG) content were prepared by a complete liquid-phase method, and characterized by XRD, H₂-TPR, N₂-adsorption, and XPS. The influence of PEG content on the higher alcohols synthesis from syngas was investigated. The results showed that addition of PEG can influence the texture and surface properties of the catalysts, and therefore affect their activity and product distribution. With an increase in PEG content, BET surface area, Cu crystallite size and surface active ingredient content of the catalysts first increased and then decreased, the CO conversion had similar variation tendency. However, the pore volume and pore diameter of the catalyst increased, and the binding energy of the active component and the content of Cu₂O decreased, which resulted in higher catalyst selectivity towards higher alcohols. The highest C²⁺OH selectivity in total alcohols was 60.6 wt %.     

Cu/活性炭催化剂：水合肼还原制备及催化甲醇氧化羰基化

Highly Selective Pd–Cu/α-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> Catalysts for Liquid-Phase Hydrogenation: The Influence of the Pd: Cu Ratio on the Structure and Catalytic Characteristics

The structure and catalytic characteristics of a series of Pd–Cu/α-Al₂O₃ catalysts with Pd: Cu ratio varied from Pd₁–Cu_0.5 to Pd₁–Cu₄ were studied. The use of α-Al₂O₃ with a small surface area (S_sp = 8 m²/g) as a support made it possible to minimize the effect of diffusion on the catalytic characteristics and to study the structure of Pd–Cu nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The XRD analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data indicated the formation of uniform bimetallic Pd–Cu nanoparticles (d = 20–60 nm), whose composition corresponded to a ratio between the metals in the catalyst, and also the absence of monometallic Pd⁰ and Cu⁰ nanoparticles. The study of catalytic properties in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene (DPA) showed that the activity of the catalysts rapidly decreased with the Cu content increase; however, in this case, the yield of a desired alkene compound significantly increased. The selectivity of alkene formation on the catalysts with the ratios Pd: Cu = 1: 3 and 1: 4 was superior to the commercial Lindlar catalyst.     

Evolution of Cu-Zn-Si oxide catalysts in the course of reduction and reoxidation as studied by in situ X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetic susceptibility methods

The reduced and reoxidized Cu-Zn-Si oxide catalysts as layered copper-zinc hydroxo silicates with the zincsilite structure were studied using in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility. The catalysts were prepared by homogeneous deposition-precipitation. It was found that Cu⁰ particles were formed on the surface of a layered hydrosilicate with the zincsilite structure upon reduction with hydrogen. The reoxidation of the reduced samples with a mixture of oxygen and an inert gas, which contained no more than 0.05 vol % O₂, resulted in the formation of individual Cu₂O and CuO phases; copper ions did not return to the hydrosilicate structure. Catalytic tests of Cu-Zn-Si catalysts in methanol synthesis indicate that the specific catalytic activity of copper metal particles grows linearly with increasing zinc loading. This fact suggests that copper metal particles, which were obtained by the reduction of Cu²⁺ ions from the copper-zinc hydroxo silicate with the zincsilite structure, were responsible for activity in methanol synthesis. Consequently, the ability to return copper ions to a precursor compound in reoxidation with oxygen at low concentrations, which is known for reduced Cu/ZnO catalysts (these catalysts are highly active in methanol synthesis), is not related to the catalytic activity in methanol synthesis.     

A one‐pot method for synthesis of reduced graphene oxide‐supported Cu–Cu2O and catalytic application in tandem reaction of halides and sodium azide with terminal alkynes

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)‐supported Cu–Cu₂O nanocomposite material (Cu‐Cu₂O@RGO) was prepared through a one‐pot reflux synthesis method. The morphology, crystal structure and composition of the prepared Cu‐Cu₂O@RGO were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and X‐ray photoelectron, infrared and Raman spectroscopies. Cu‐Cu₂O@RGO as a heterogeneous catalyst was applied to tandem reactions of halides and sodium azide with terminal alkynes to synthesize effectively 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles. Moreover, the catalyst showed excellent recyclability performance with very little leaching of the metal. Compared with homogeneous catalysts, Cu‐Cu₂O@RGO as a green and efficient catalyst was recoverable, easy to separate and highly stable in the tandem method for the synthesis of 1,2,3‐triazole compounds.
