Catalytic ketonisation over oxide catalysts

Activity of pure Al₂O₃ has been studied in cycloketonisation of various dialkyl alkanodiates of general formula (CH₂)_n(COOR)₂, where n = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 and R = Et, s-Bu and t-Bu at the temperature range 598-723 K in a flow system. The yields of cycloalkanones strongly depend on the size of the ring formed, the structure of alkyl group in ester molecule and on the reaction temperature. Cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone were obtained with yields 50-60% from the appropriate diethyl esters. The only low yields (<8%) of cyclooctanone, cyclononane and cycloundecanone were achieved. An increase in the order of the ester alkyl group leads in some cases to higher yields of ketones - di t-butyl hexanodiate yielded 88% of cyclopentanone.

不同方法制备的Cu/HZSM-5催化剂上NO的催化分解反应

采用离子交换法、固相分散法和微波固相法等不同方法制备了Cu/HZSM-5催化剂,以BET、XRD和XPS等手段对催化剂样品进行了表征。结果表明,不同方法制备的Cu/HZSM-5催化剂上Cu物种的落位分布状态不同,离子交换法制备的催化剂Cu物种更多地落位于分子筛孔道内,微波固相法和固相分散法制备的催化剂Cu物种较多地落位分布在分子筛外表面。固相分散法制备的样品未能使铜物种完全分散于分子筛表面,在13.1°、16.8°、35.5°和38.0°等处仍存在CuO的晶相衍射峰。催化分解NO反应的活性考察结果表明,用微波固相法制备的催化剂催化分解NO的活性及稳定性明显超过另两种方法所制备的催化剂,在无氧条件下NO最初转化率高达89.2%,经反应25h后,转化率仍维持在70%以上;在富氧气氛下催化分解NO活性降低速率低于由离子交换法制备的催化剂。结合表征结果可以得出,落位于分子筛外表面以离子交换态形式存在的Cu物种对催化分解NO反应更为有利,而且催化稳定性更好。     

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of 2-butanone over oxide catalysts

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of 2-butanone with 2-propanol was studied in gas phase over a series of oxides of different acid-base properties. Although the basic oxides (MgO, La₂O₃) gave high initial conversions, these oxides underwent deactivation during the reaction. This deactivation could be partially prevented by a previous treatment with chloroform of the oxide. The amphoteric oxides (TiO₂, ZrO₂, Al₂O₃) were also active in this reaction. Increasing the acidic character of the catalyst (Nb₂O₅, WO₃) led to a pronounced dehydration of 2-propanol. The results obtained over a series of rare earth oxides (La₂O₃, Sm₂O₃, Gd₂O₃, Dy₂O₃, Er₂O₃) revealed that beside the role of basic and acid sites a correlation seems to exist between the number of unpaired electrons of the metal ion and the catalytic activity, indicating the role of one electron donor sites.     

Catalytic conversion of nitrogen-containing compounds over monolithic oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of methylene chloride on oxidative carbon supported metal oxide catalysts

Several carbon supported chromium oxide catalysts were prepared by varying textural and surface properties of support and tested for methylene chloride oxidation. They were investigated by TGA and XPS. The difference in acidity and high valence of chromium led to difference in activity.

Catalytic oxidation of CS_2 over atmospheric particles and oxide catalysts

The catalytic oxidization of CS2 over atmospheric particles and some oxide catalysts was explored through FT-IR, MS and a fixed-bed stainless steel reactor. The results show that atmospheric particles and some oxide catalysts exhibited considerable oxidizing activities for CS2 at ambient temperature. The reaction products are mainly COS and elemental sulfur, even CO2 on some catalysts. Among the catalysts, CaO has the strongest catalytic activity for oxidizing CS2. Fe2O3 is weaker than CaO. The catalytic activity for AI2O3 reduces considerably compared with the former two catalysts, and SiO2 the weakest. Atmospheric particle samples' catalytic activity is between Fe2O3's and AI2O3's. The atmospheric particle sample collected mainly consists of Ca(AI2Si2O8) · 4H2O, which is also the main component of cement. COS, the main product, is formed by the catalytic oxidization of CS2 with adsorbed "molecular" oxygen over the catalysts' surfaces.

Catalytic incineration of benzene over titania/vanadia/tungsten oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of benzene was carried out on various metal oxides. Pure titania is not effective in decomposing 99% of benzene even at temperature of 600°C. Addition of vanadia improves its ability to decompose benzene. Titania-vanadia catalyst can decompose 99% of benzene at 410°C. The combination of titania/vanadia/tungsten oxide is more effective. It can decompose 99% of benzene at as low as 355°C.     

Cement-containing catalysts of ozone decomposition based on iron oxides

Cement-containing catalysts of ozone decomposition were synthesized on the basis of iron oxides obtained by ozonation of iron-containing aqueous solutions. X-ray diffraction analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy showed that α-Fe₂O₃ occurs in the catalyst as highly dispersed nanoparticles. The catalysts obtained are efficient in the reaction of ozone decomposition and are as active as the best representatives of cement-containing catalysts of the GTT type.     

Oxide talum-containing catalysts of ozone decomposition and methane oxidation

The oxidation of manganese ions is shown to occur in ozone decomposition on manganese-containing catalyst, leading to the deactivation of a sample. The structure of the iron-containing catalyst does not change, ensuring its high stability during ozone decomposition in a dry gas flow at room temperature, conducted in the region of inner diffusion with an activation energy of 15.5 ± 0.7 kJ/mol. The presence of manganese cations in the intermediate stages of reduction is found to increase their activity in the reaction of deep methane oxidation.

Acetone oxidation using ozone on manganese oxide catalysts

Supported manganese oxide catalysts were prepared by the impregnation of alumina foam blocks washcoated with alumina and silica. The manganese content based on the weight of the washcoats was 10 wt % calculated as MnO2. Fourier transform profiles of the Mn K-edge EXAFS spectra for these samples gave three distinctive peaks at 0.15, 0.25, and 0.32 nm and were close to the profiles of Mn3O4 and beta-MnO2. The number of surface active sites was determined through oxygen chemisorption measurements at a reduction temperature (Tred = 443 K) obtained from temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) experiments. Acetone catalytic oxidation was studied from room temperature to 573 K, and was found to be highly accelerated by the use of ozone on both catalysts with substantial reductions in the reaction temperature. The only carbon-containing product detected was CO2. The alumina-supported catalyst was found to be more active than the silica-supported catalyst in acetone and ozone conversion, with higher turnover frequencies (TOFs) for both reactions. The pressure drop through the foam was low and increased little (0.003 kPa/10 000 h(-1)) with space velocity. In situ steady-state Raman spectroscopy measurements during the acetone catalytic oxidation reaction showed the presence of an adsorbed acetone species with a C-H bond at 2930 cm(-1) and a peroxide species derived from ozone with an O-O bond at 890 cm(-1).     

Catalytic synthesis of C-alkylimidazoles over platinum-alumina catalysts

The synthesis of C-alkylimidazoles from 1,2-diamines and carboxylic acids over bifunctional platinum—alumina catalysts has been studied. It has been shown that this method is effective for the synthesis of 2-alkyl and 2,4-dialkylimidazoles including imidazoles with long-chain alkyls. The effect of the reaction temperature, space velocity of the flow of the raw materials, and dilution by hydrogen on the yield of product has been examined for the example of the synthesis of 2-methylimidazole from ethylenediamine and acetic acid, and the stability of the catalyst in continuous reaction cycles with intermediate oxidative regeneration has been studied. The composition of the accompanying products has been established and a mechanism proposed for their formation.N. D.

Decarbonylation of furfural over oxide catalysts

Gas chromatography has been used to investigate the products accompanying tetrahydrofuran prepared by hydrogenation of furan, without isolating the latter pure from the gas mixture obtained by decarbonylating furfural over oxide catalysts. A number of unknown impurities accompanying tetrahydrofuran and furan, are identified. It is found that tetrahydrofuran contains isopropanol, along with furan,-methylfuran, and-methyltetrahydrofuran. Furan itself contains-methylfuran, and a number of unknown impurities, among them acetone. Ethane is found among the gaseous products of decarbonylation. Thus over Zn and Mn oxide catalysts there is joint hydrogenolysis of the furan ring, and ring opening at positions 1–5 and 3–4.     

Propylene oxidation over tin-molybdenum oxide catalysts

The influence of preparation of tin-molybdenum catalysts on their phase composition and activity has been elucidated. The mutual dissolution of Sn and Mo oxides leads to a considerable increase in their activities and selectivities in the partial oxidation of propylene to acetone.
