La2O3对费-托合成沉淀铁催化剂的影响

制备了一系列不同La2O3含量(100Fe/2.8Si/nLa,n=0,0.5,1,2,4,原子比)的沉淀铁费-托合成催化剂,通过原位X射线衍射、一氧化碳程序升温还原和N2吸附-脱附等手段对催化剂进行了表征.催化剂费-托反应评价在固定床反应器中进行.结果表明,少量La2O3助剂(La/Fe≤0.01,原子比)的加入显著降低了Fe2O3颗粒大小,增加了催化剂的比表面积和分散度,有利于碳化铁的形成,从而导致费-托合成催化活性的提高.随着La2O3含量的进一步增加(La/Fe≥0.02),催化剂表面大量La2O3的覆盖和LaFeO3化合物的形成降低了铁碳化物的形成,反应活性反而降低.因此,最适宜的La2O3含量为La/Fe=0.01.La2O3的加入提高了甲烷的选择性,抑制了C5+碳氢化合物的形成.     

热分解法制备的Co/SiO2催化剂上费-托合成反应性能

以无定形二氧化硅为载体,分别采用浸渍法和热分解法制备了钴基催化剂Co/A200-I和Co/A200-D,采用TG、XRD、TEM和TPR等手段对其进行了表征,并考察了这些催化剂在费-托合成反应中的性能。结果表明,浸渍法制备的Co/A200-I催化剂中钴颗粒没有规则的形状,但却具有较高的费-托合成反应活性;热分解法制备的Co/A200-D催化剂中钴颗粒呈一种球形二次结构,直径比较均匀,对于费-托合成反应具有较高的轻质烃选择性。此外,载体比表面积对催化剂结构也有较大的影响;相对于Co/A200-D催化剂,Co/A380-D催化剂的载体比表面积较大,这使得金属-载体间的相互作用较强而较难还原,但还原后Co/A380-D催化剂拥有较高的钴分散度和较好的反应活性     

硅球负载高分散钴基催化剂的制备及其费-托合成催化性能研究

选用多层石墨烯为载体，调变铁盐的浸渍量，通过高温焙烧得到了一系列石墨烯负载的Fe₃O₄模型催化剂.其中Fe₃O₄颗粒呈现不规则的多面体，且大于200 nm,较大的尺寸大大抑制了其在反应过程中向碳化铁物种的转化.性能测试结果表明，尽管Fe₃O₄催化活性不如碳化铁物种，但是Fe₃O₄本身具有费-托合成活性，且在270℃具有较低的甲烷选择性和较高的C₅₊选择性.     

费-托合成Fe-Mo/SiO2双金属催化剂的性能

用原位穆斯堡尔谱和微型固定床反应器考察了Fe-Mo/SiO_2催化剂在还原、碳化和反应中的物相及费-托合成(F-T)反应性。富钼的Fe-Mo/SiO_2催化剂在550℃H_2中还原生成Fe-Mo合金,该合金在300℃合成气中碳化转化为Fe-Mo碳化物,是F-T反应中的主要物相。该催化剂的活性较高,其选择性体现了铁和钼的平均性质。富铁的Fe-Mo/SiO_2催化剂在550℃H_2中还原主要生成Fe~(2+),还有Fe-Mo合金和α-Fe,碳化时大部分转化为Fe~(3+),在F-T反应中的主要物相为Fe~(2+)及碳化铁,该催化剂的活性很低,其选择性类似于Fe-Mo/SiO_2。     

单相Co_2C的制备及其费-托合成催化性能研究

采用CO与金属钴在温度280℃,压力2 MPa的条件下反应48 h后制备得到单相Co_2C催化剂。通过XRD、H2-TPR、TEM和XAS对催化剂的结构和组成进行表征并考察了单相Co_2C催化剂在费-托合成反应中的稳定性与催化性能。结果表明,随着费-托合成反应的进行,Co_2C催化剂的活性缓慢上升,同时伴随着产物中甲烷的选择性逐渐降低,C5+的选择性逐渐升高。对比反应前后催化剂发现,反应后的催化剂为Co_2C和少量金属Co的混合相,表明在费-托合成反应条件下,单相Co_2C会发生部分分解,生成的金属Co会导致CO的转化率和产物的选择性发生变化。     

以Mo-EDTA为钼源直接水热合成Mo-MFI分子筛及其催化环己烯环氧化性能

环氧化物是一种重要的有机化工原料,广泛应用于合成化学、聚合物合成、食品化学、药物化学等领域中.烯烃催化环氧化反应是制备环氧化物的主要方法.一些均相钼配合物催化剂对烯烃环氧化反应表现出较好的催化性能.然而均相催化剂在实际生产中存在与产物分离困难、不易循环利用等问题.为解决上述问题,研究人员采用不同策略将各种钼配合物负载在固体载体上,制备出活性相对较高的多相钼配合物催化剂.然而,这类负载型钼配合物催化剂在以双氧水为氧化剂的反应体系中普遍存在活性组分易于流失的问题,导致催化剂的稳定性相对较差.因此,设计制备具有高活性和高稳定性的多相钼基烯烃环氧化催化剂具有重要的科学意义和实用价值.将过渡金属引入到具有MFI型拓扑结构的微孔分子筛的骨架上能够制备出具有高活性和高稳定性的杂原子分子筛催化剂.例如,采用直接水热法合成的钛硅分子筛(如TS-1)对以双氧水为氧化剂的小分子烯烃(如丙烯)环氧化反应表现出非常高的活性和稳定性.受这一研究结果启发,研究人员还开展了水热法合成Mo原子取代的MFI型分子筛(Mo-MFI).然而,由于Mo的离子半径较大(与Si相比),且合成体系中的Mo物种在碱性条件下易于发生沉淀,导致引入到分子筛骨架或孔道中的Mo含量极低.本文以Mo-EDTA配合物为钼源,四丙基氢氧化铵为模板剂,正硅酸乙酯为硅源,采用一步水热法合成了系列具有不同钼含量的Mo-MFI-n分子筛(n代表初始Si/Mo摩尔比).结合X-射线粉未衍射、红外光谱、紫外-可见吸收光谱、拉曼光谱、透射电子显微镜等表征技术对分子筛的结构、组成和Mo物种的状态进行了研究.结果表明,使用Mo-EDTA作为钼源有利于在分子筛骨架和孔道中引入更多的Mo物种;EDTA2?独特的配位能力使其在分子筛生长过程中能够有效调节Mo物种的释放率,并与硅物种缩合的速率匹配,从而使更多的Mo物种被引入到分子筛骨架中;同时也会有少量的Mo物种以骨架外Mo团簇的形式分布在分子筛的孔道内或孔口附近.通过以双氧水为氧化剂的环己烯环氧化反应考察了所制备的Mo-MFI-n催化剂的性能.经组分优化的Mo-MFI-50(初始Si/Mo摩尔比为50)催化剂能够在较温和的条件下有效地将环己烯转化为相应的环氧化物.在75℃下反应9 h后,环己烯转化率和环氧化物选择性分别高达93％和82％,性能明显优于传统水热法合成的Mo-MFI分子筛.此外,反应后的Mo-MFI-50分子筛催化剂通过简单的过滤而不需要焙烧处理就可多次重复利用,表现出较高的结构稳定性和循环性.

 采用单位键指标-二次指数势(UBI-QEP)方法对模型催化剂Co(0001)晶面进行了费-托(F-T)合成反应的反应能学分析,发现以不含氧的CxHy,s 作为中间体的表面碳化物机理在能量上较为合理,而CH2,s 作为链增长单体的链增长方式是能量上最有利的F-T合成反应途径. 在Co/ZrO2/SiO2催化剂上的非稳态实验研究中发现,在F-T合成的操作温度范围内,H2O的生成是主要的表面O的移去方式; CO解离和表面碳物种Cs加氢可能是F-T合成中的重要速控步骤; 链增长过程是F-T合成反应中较快的基元反应步骤; 甲烷的生成具有多种不同活性的表面前驱体,导致生成的甲烷严重偏离经典的ASF分布规律. 结合F-T合成表面反应的研究结果,初步确定了F-T合成动力学研究中需要考虑的机理模型的范围是以CO解离和表面碳物种Cs加氢为速控步骤,以CH2,s 插入为链增长途径的表面碳化物机理. 该结果缩小了待选动力学模型的范围.     

Effect of confinement in carbon nanotubes on the activity of Fischer-Tropsch iron catalyst

Following our previous findings that confinement within carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can modify the redox properties of encapsulated iron oxides, we demonstrate here how this can affect the catalytic reactivity of iron catalysts in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The investigation, using in situ XRD under conditions close to the reaction conditions, reveals that the distribution of iron carbide and oxide phases is modulated in the CNT-confined system. The iron species encapsulated inside CNTs prefer to exist in a more reduced state, tending to form more iron carbides under the reaction conditions, which have been recognized to be essential to obtain high FTS activity. The relative ratio of the integral XRD peaks of iron carbide (Fe(x)C(y)) to oxide (FeO) is about 4.7 for the encapsulated iron catalyst in comparison to 2.4 for the iron catalyst dispersed on the outer walls of CNTs under the same conditions. This causes a remarkable modification of the catalytic performance. The yield of C5+ hydrocarbons over the encapsulated iron catalyst is twice that over iron catalyst outside CNTs and more than 6 times that over activated-carbon-supported iron catalyst. The catalytic activity enhancement is attributed to the effect of confinement of the iron catalyst within the CNT channels. As demonstrated by temperature-programmed reduction in H2 and in CO atmospheres, the reducibility of the iron species is significantly improved when they are confined. The ability to modify the redox properties via confinement in CNTs is expected to be of significance for many catalytic reactions, which are highly dependent on the redox state of the active components. Furthermore, diffusion and aggregation of the iron species through the reduction and reaction have been observed, but these are retarded inside CNTs due to the spatial restriction of the channels.     

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis by nano-structured iron catalyst

Effects of nanoscale iron oxide particles on textural structure, reduction, carburization and catalytic behavior of precipitated iron catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) are investigated. Nanostructured iron catalysts were prepared by microemulsion method in two series. Firstly, Fe2O3, CuO and La2O3 nanoparticles were prepared separately and were mixed to attain Fe/Cu/La nanostructured catalyst (sep-nano catalyst); Secondly nanostructured catalyst was prepared by co-precipitation in a water-in-oil microemulsion method (mix-nano catalyst). Also, conventional iron catalyst was prepared with common co-precipitation method. Structural characterizations of the catalysts were performed by TEM, XRD, H2 and CO-TPR tests. Particle size of iron oxides for sep-nano and mix-nano catalysts, which were determined by XRD pattern (Scherrer equation) and TEM images was about 20 and 21.6 nm, respectively. Catalyst evaluation was conducted in a fixed-bed stainless steel reactor and compared with conventional iron catalyst. The results revealed that FTS reaction increased while WGS reaction and olefin/paraffin ratio decreased in nanostructured iron catalysts.     

Stability and reactivity of ϵ-χ-θ iron carbide catalyst phases in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: controlling μ(C)

The stability and reactivity of ?, χ, and θ iron carbide phases in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts as a function of relevant reaction conditions was investigated by a synergistic combination of experimental and theoretical methods. Combined in situ X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy/X-ray Diffraction/Raman Spectroscopy was applied to study Fe-based catalysts during pretreatment and, for the first time, at relevant high pressure Fischer-Tropsch synthesis conditions, while Density Functional Theory calculations formed a fundamental basis for understanding the influence of pretreatment and FTS conditions on the formation of bulk iron carbide phases. By combining theory and experiment, it was found that the formation of θ-Fe(3)C, χ-Fe(5)C(2), and ?-carbides can be explained by their relative thermodynamic stability as imposed by gas phase composition and temperature. Furthermore, it was shown that a significant part of the Fe phases was present as amorphous carbide phases during high pressure FTS, sometimes in an equivalent amount to the crystalline iron carbide fraction. A catalyst containing mainly crystalline χ-Fe(5)C(2) was highly susceptible to oxidation during FTS conditions, while a catalyst containing θ-Fe(3)C and amorphous carbide phases showed a lower activity and selectivity, mainly due to the buildup of carbonaceous deposits on the catalyst surface, suggesting that amorphous phases and the resulting textural properties play an important role in determining final catalyst performance. The findings further uncovered the thermodynamic and kinetic factors inducing the ?-χ-θ carbide transformation as a function of the carbon chemical potential μ(C).     

Deactivation studies of nano-structured iron catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

A nano-structured iron catalyst for syngas conversion to hydrocarbons in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was prepared by micro-emulsion method. Compositions of bulk iron phase and phase transformations of carbonaceous species during catalyst deactivation in FTS reaction were characterized by temperature-programmed surface reaction with hydrogen (TPSR-H2), and XRD techniques. Many carbonaceous species on surface and bulk of the nano-structured iron catalysts were completely identified by combined TPSR-H2 and XRD spectra and which were compared with those recorded on conventional co-precipitated iron catalyst. The results reveal that the catalyst deactivation results from the formation of inactive carbide phases and surface carbonaceous species like graphite, and it will be increased when the particle size of iron oxides was reduced in FTS iron catalyst.     

Temperature-programmed hydrogenation (TPH) and in situ Mössbauer spectroscopy studies of carbonaceous species on silica-supported iron Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

Carbonaceous surface species and bulk iron carbides formed under realistic Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) conditions on moderately dispersed, active silica-supported iron catalysts (Fe/SiO2, FePt/SiO2, and FePtK/SiO2) were characterized. Bulk iron phase compositions were determined by M?ssbauer spectroscopy and phase transformations of carbonaceous species during pretreatment with CO, H2, or H2/CO and following reaction were characterized using temperature-programmed hydrogenation (TPH). Isothermal transient rates of FTS were also measured for catalysts after different pretreatments. Six surface and bulk carbonaceous species were quantitatively identified from combined TPH and M?ssbauer spectra of the FePtK catalyst. They include, in order of decreasing reactivity, (a) adsorbed, atomic carbon; (b) amorphous, lightly polymerized hydrocarbon or carbon surface species; (c) bulk epsilon' and chi carbides (Fe(2.2)C and Fe(2.5)C); and (d) disordered and moderately ordered graphitic surface carbons. A correlation between the amount of reactive alpha-carbon (C(alpha)) and initial catalytic activity was established. The method of Li et al. for measuring irreversible chemisorption of CO does not appear to provide quantitative measurements of active site densities on silica-supported iron. Models, based on this and previous work, are proposed for iron phase and carbon phase transformations in silica-supported iron during pretreatment, FTS, and postreaction passivation/oxidation.     

结构助剂SiO2、Al2O3对铁基催化剂浆态床F-T合成性能的影响

Activation pressure studies with an iron-based catalyst for slurry Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was carried out with an industrial iron-based catalyst (100Fe/5Cu/6K/16SiO2, by weight) under the baseline conditions in a stirred tank slurry reactor (STSR). The effects of activation pressure on the catalyst activity and selectivity were investigated. It was found that iron phase compositions, textural properties, and FTS performances of the catalysts were strongly dependent on activation pressure. The high activation pressure retards the carburization. Møssbauer effect spectroscopy (MES) results indicated that the contents of the iron carbides clearly decrease with the increase of activation pressure, especially for the activation pressure increasing from 1.0 MPa to 1.5 MPa, and the reverse trend is observed for superparamagnetic Fe3+ (spm). The higher content of Fe3+ (spm) results in the higher amount of CO2 in tail gas when the catalyst is reduced at higher pressure. The catalyst activity decreases with the increase of activation pressure. The high quantity of iron carbides is necessary to obtain high FTS activity. However, the activity of the catalyst activated in syngas can not be predicted solely from the fraction of the carbides. It is concluded that activation with syngas at the lower pressure would be the most desirable for the better activity and stability on the iron-based catalyst.     

Influence of Support Type and Metal Loading in Methane Decomposition over Iron Catalyst for Hydrogen Production

Natural gas resources, stimulate the method of catalytic methane decomposition. Hydrogen is a superb energy carrier and integral component of the present energy systems, while carbon nanotubes exhibit remarkable chemical and physical properties. The reaction was run at 700 °C in a fixed bed reactor. Catalyst calcination and reduction were done at 500 °C. MgO, TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ supported catalysts were prepared using a co‐precipitation method. Catalysts of different iron loadings were characterized with BET, TGA, XRD, H₂‐TPR and TEM. The catalyst characterization revealed the formation of multi‐walled nanotubes. Alternatively, time on stream tests of supported catalyst at 700 °C revealed the relative profiles of methane conversions increased as the %Fe loading was increased. Higher %Fe loadings decreased surface area of the catalyst. Iron catalyst supported with Al₂O₃ exhibited somewhat higher catalytic activity compared with MgO and TiO₂ supported catalysts when above 35% Fe loading was used. CH₄ conversion of 69% was obtained utilizing 60% Fe/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Alternatively, Fe/MgO catalysts gave the highest initial conversions when iron loading below 30% was employed. Indeed, catalysts with 15% Fe/MgO gave 63% conversion and good stability for 1 h time on stream. Inappropriateness of Fe/TiO₂ catalysts in the catalytic methane decomposition was observed.
