Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in the solid-phase triphenylphosphine-chloramine system

The macrokinetics and products of self-propagating high-temperture synthesis (SHS) in the solid-phase triphenylphosphine—chloramine system were studied by TGA-DTA, XRD, and³¹P NMR techniques. The temperature of SHS ignition (59°C), the velocity of reaction waves (1.6–5.0 mm s⁻¹), and the maximum temperature (155–239°C) in the SHS wave were measured. The chemical composition of the product obtained was established: phosphine oxide, triphenyl-N-(phenylsulfoyl)-phosphinimine, benzenesulfonamide, NaCl, and water. The scheme of chemical reactions occurring during SHS was proposed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 301–305, February, 1999.

采用共沉淀法、硝酸盐热分解法制备的MgO和商品MgO为载体,使用共浸渍法制备了系列FeMn/MgO催化剂,以CO加氢合成低碳烯烃为模型反应,对不同催化剂的反应性能进行了考察,采用X射线光电子能谱、N2物理吸附、X射线物相分析、程序升温还原等表征技术对催化剂的结构和性能进行了表征。结果表明,采用共沉淀法制备的MgO载体比表面积最大,达到203.5m²/g,以此为载体制备的催化剂取得了最优的CO加氢合成低碳烯烃性能。在340℃、2.0MPa、1600h^-1的反应条件下,CO转化率达到91.36%,C₂⁼～C₄⁼选择性为58.48%。催化剂的比表面积大,活性组分分布均匀且在表面含量高及低温还原性能的明显改善是其具有优异的催化性能的重要原因。     

Differential thermal analysis of ignition temperatures in a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reaction

Differential thermal analysis was carried out on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reaction 3TiO₂+4Al+3C→3TiC+2Al₂O₃. The results allow the ignition temperature of the reaction to be estimated and the reaction mechanism to be identified. The ignition temperature was 900°C and the results suggest that the reaction proceeds by an initial reaction between titania and aluminium (3TiO₂+4Al→3Ti+2Al₂O₃) and the titanium formed reacts with the carbon (Ti+C→TiC).     

The high-temperature durability of Rh-free threeway catalysts used for automoble emission control

The high-temperature durability of cordierite honeycomb Rh-free three-way catalysts (TWC) containing additives has been studied by calcining catalysts at various temperatures in the interval of 600≈1100°C. The three-way performances of these catalysts were evaluated for the reaction of carbon monoxide(CO), hydrocarbon(HC) and nitrogen oxides(NOx) at given conditions by using a fixed bed reactor. The results show that after Rh-free TWC are thermally aged in air at 1100°C for 5h and 950°C for 104 h, the TWC still have better three-way activity compared with Rh-containing TWC.     

Metallosilicates as supports of Co catalysts for the synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons from CO and H2

The effect of the nature of the silicate support on the activity and selectivity of 10%. Co/M silicate catalysts (where M=Cu, Zn, Ce, Ti, Hf, La, Al, Zr, Co, Mg) in the synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO and H₂ has been established. Co and Zr catalysts have been shown to provide the highest catalytic efficiency. The yield of liquid hydrocarbons in their presence exceeds 120 g m^–3.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

New organic supports for metallocene catalysts applied in olefin polymerizations

Nano-sized latex particles as organic supports for metallocenes applied in olefin polymerizations are introduced. The particles are functionalized with nucleophilic surfaces such as polyethylenoxide (PEO), polypropyleneoxide (PPO) or pyridine units allowing an immobilization of the metallocene catalysts via a non-covalent immobilization process. The latices are obtained by emulsion or miniemulsion polymerization with styrene, divinylbenzene as the crosslinker, and either PEO or PPO functionalized styrene or 4-vinylpyridine for surface functionalization. The supported catalysts, e.g. [Me₂Si(2MeBenzInd)₂ZrCl₂/MAO] on PPO containing latices or Cp₂ZrMe₂/([Ph₃C][B(C₆F₅)₄]) on pyridine functionalized materials were tested in ethylene polymerizations. Remarkably, high activities and excellent product morphologies were obtained. The influence of the degree of surface functionalization on activity and productivity was investigated. Furthermore, the fragmentation of the catalyst was studied by electron microscopy using bismuth-labeled latex particles or by fluorescence and confocal fluorescence microscopy using dye-labeled supports. Finally, a self-immobilizing catalyst/monomer system is presented. It is demonstrated that by using PEO-functionalized olefins, the metallocenes were immobilized on the monomers. Subjecting these mixtures to an ethylene copolymerization, again high activities and productivities as well as polyolefin beads with high bulk densities are observed, indicating that an extra supporting process for controlling the product size and shape of the polyolefins is not necessary for these monomers.     

无溶剂路线制备分子筛封装的钴基催化剂及其在费托合成制汽油反应中的应用（英文）

自2012年浙江大学肖丰收教授(J.Am.Chem.Soc.,2012,134,15173-15176)首次提出无溶剂法合成分子筛以来,该路线已备受关注.无溶剂合成分子筛方法具有废液少、产率高、安全系数高等优点.本文针对合成气经费托路线(FTS)一步法制备富含异构烷烃汽油馏分的研究,通过无溶剂研磨法制备了分子筛封装金属催化剂.一般来说,烷烃异构化催化剂的性能主要取决于分子筛的孔道结构及其酸性,其次是分子筛晶粒大小、结晶度和表面性质等因素.本文对比了三种具有相同拓扑结构的MFI分子筛(Silicalite-1,HZSM-5和NaZSM-5)对汽油和异构烷烃选择性的影响规律.结果显示,在CO转化率(～30%)近似相同的情况下,具有最弱酸性的Silicalite-1封装的Co颗粒表现出最高的汽油选择性(～70%)和异构烷烃选择性(～30.7%).这意味着正构烷烃异构化反应只需要弱酸即可实现,较强的酸性则会使其发生过度裂解反应.Py-IR谱图显示,Silicalite-1在1445 cm^-1附近的L酸是区别于NaZSM-5和HZSM-5的一个重要酸性位,可作为FTS路线制...     

Secondary reactions of ethylene and propylene in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on cobalt-aluminum and cobalt-chromium catalysts

The only secondary reaction of olefins in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on Co/SiO₂·Al(III) and Co/SiO₂·Cr(III) with 2.7·10⁻⁶ and 4.0·10⁻⁶ g-ion/m² cation concentration in the support matrix, respectively, is dimerization of ethylene to give a four-carbon intermediate, which participates in the growth of C-C bond chains according to the classical FT synthesis mechanism. When the chromium concentration is increased by a factor of 1.7, secondary ethylene reactions occurring on the acid sites of the catalyst are also observed. When the aluminum concentration is increased by a factor of 3.4, we observe the oligomerization of ethylene and propylene. The secondary reactions of ethylene mainly result in linear hydrocarbons, while oligomerization involving propylene gives a significant amount of branched hydrocarbons. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 115–120, March–April, 2008.     

费-托合成Co/ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂反应性能的研究

以ZrOCl2·6H2O和AlCl3为原料,采用共沉淀方法制得一系列不同ZrO2质量分数的ZrO2-Al2O3混合氧化物载体;并以该混合氧化物为载体,采用初湿浸渍法制得钴质量分数为12％的Co/ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂。XRD、NH3-TPD、TPR和原位IR等表征结果表明,随着混合载体中ZrO2质量分数的增加,载体比表面积先增加后减少,混合载体的平均孔径则小于单一氧化物ZrO2和Al2O3的平均孔径。ZrO2和Al2O3载体混合后会导致氧化物的比表面积和酸性增大并且有新的物相生成。当混合氧化物用作载体时,能够抑制载体表面金属钴的分散,改变催化剂的还原行为,降低催化剂对CO物种的吸附能力。CO加氢反应表明,与单一金属氧化物相比,钴负载ZrO2-Al2O3混合氧化物催化剂的加氢活性和重质烃选择性有所降低。     

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis under the combined action of pressure and shear

A study was made of the role of high-temperature shear deformation in the processes of combustion and structuring of titanium carbide, which lead to changes in the grain size and morphology and in the quality of the end product. It was shown that, by applying shear loads to the as yet unformed material, the structure and morphology of the obtained powder can be affected. Shear deformation during self-propagating high-temperature synthesis results in an almost 100% yield of a powder with a particle size of less than 400 μm.     

Comparison of the performance of different hybrid catalysts for direct synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas

Properties of palladium catalysts on carbon supports prepared from chemically modified and activated anthracites

The influence of chemical modification and thermal activation on the porous structure of Donbass anthracites (Ukraine) and on the state and catalytic properties of supported palladium has been studied. The most regular distribution of supported palladium particles with an average size of about 2 nm was observed for the supports prepared from the chemically modified anthracites. The activity of supported palladium in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of cyclohexene varies more than 10-fold depending on the preparation method of the anthracite support. The catalysts with the palladium nanoparticles located in micropores of the carbon support exhibit a lower catalytic activity.

铁基费托合成催化剂相变调控及反应性能

在Fe基模型催化剂上,通过先深度还原后控制碳化的方法实现了物相结构的调控.采用X射线衍射、穆斯堡尔谱、程序升温脱附技术和激光拉曼光谱等方法表征了催化剂还原和反应前后的物化性质,并在固定床反应器中考察了不同条件活化后催化剂上费托反应性能.结果表明,H₂还原后的催化剂主要由α-Fe相组成,且随着还原温度的提高,α-Fe相的致密程度增加,平均晶粒尺寸增加,稳定性提高;再采用乙烯对H₂还原后催化剂进行碳化,可有效控制α-Fe的碳化速度,使碳化过程主要发生在Fe晶粒表层,同时改变了催化剂在反应过程中的物相变化,乃至其催化性能.与纯H₂或合成气气氛活化的催化剂相比,采用先H₂还原后乙烯碳化的预处理方法能够明显提高催化剂的活性和稳定性.     

Development of high performance Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis and the water-gas shift reaction

Our groups studies on Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis via hydrogenation of CO₂ and for the water-gas shift reaction are reviewed. Effects of ZnO contained in supported Cu-based catalysts on their activities for several reactions were investigated. The addition of ZnO to Cu-based catalyst supported on Al₂O₃, ZrO₂ or SiO₂ improved its specific activity for methanol synthesis and the reverse water-gas shift reaction, but did not improve its specific activity for methanol steam reforming and the water-gas shift reaction. Methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂ over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts was extensively studied under a joint research project between National Institute for Resources and Environment (NIRE; one of the former research institutes reorganized to AIST) and Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). It was suggested that methanol should be produced via the hydrogenation of CO₂, but not via the hydrogenation of CO, and that H₂O produced along with methanol should greatly suppress methanol synthesis. The Cu/ZnO-based multicomponent catalysts such as Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ and Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃/Ga₂O₃ were highly active for methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂. The addition of a small amount of colloidal silica to the multicomponent catalysts greatly improved their long-term stability during methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂. The purity of the crude methanol produced in a bench plant was 99.9 wt% and higher than that of the crude methanol from a commercial methanol synthesis from syngas. The water-gas shift reaction over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts was also studied. The activity of Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst for the water-gas shift reaction at 523 K was less affected by the pre-treatments such as calcination and treatment in H₂ at high temperatures than that of the Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Accordingly, the Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst was considered to be more suitable for practical use for the water-gas shift reaction. The Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst was also highly active for the water-gas shift reaction at 673 K. Furthermore, a two-stage reaction system composed of the first reaction zone for the water-gas shift reaction at 673 K and the second reaction zone for the reaction at 523 K was found to be more efficient than a one-stage reaction system. The addition of a small amount of colloidal silica to a Cu/ZnO-based catalyst greatly improved its long-term stability in the water-gas shift reaction in a similar manner as in methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂.     

A new strategy for synthesis of polymeric supports with triazene linkers

A new strategy based on the use of diethylamine triazenes for stabilization and generation of polymer supported diazonium ions was described. New economical syntheses of four new polymeric supports with 3- and 6-carbon atom spacers and triazene linkers derived from meta- and para-aminophenol were described and compared to the traditional methods. The possible application of the polymer bound triazene masked diazonium salts as supports for immobilization of secondary amines (nortropine and 4-piperidinole and their esterification and oxidation), and as amine scavengers was shown. The new supports with meta-C₃-T2 and para-C₃-T2 linkers showed higher loadings and typically gave products with good yields and purities.     

Clays as selective catalysts in organic synthesis

Suitably modified smectite clays can be very selective catalysts for a wide range of organic reactions. While it has long been known that such materials can act as Bronsted and Lewis acids, it has been shown recently that they are also effective Diels-Alder catalysts. A selection of illustrative reactions is given which emphasises their wide range of use, their selectivity, and the ease of work-up after reaction. In each case, mechanistic information is presented, e.g., on the site of reaction (whether interlayer or surface), rate determining steps, etc. The regiochemical consequences of the restricted reaction space are stressed.Based on material presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena and the Third International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, Lancaster, U.K., 20–25 July 1986.     

Influence of the addition of Pd and Cu to cobalt catalysts prepared by SMAI for F-T synthesis

The Co-Pd/SiO₂ and Co-Cu/SiO₂ catalysts were prepared via solvated metal atom impregnation (SMAI) method and investigated for the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis. The catalysts contained 5wt.% Co and a weight ratio of Pd (or Cu) to Co of 1/30. XPS indicated that Co, Pd and Cu were in metallic state. The results of XPS and magnetic measurements showed that Co and Pd (Cu) were alloyed. The Co particles on the catalysts were very highly dispersed and they displayed superparamagnetic behavior. FT-IR indicated that the electrons shifted from Cu and Pd to Co. Catalytic tests showed that CO hydrogenation rates followed the order Pd-Co > Cu-Co > Co.      

不同载体Ni基负载型催化剂对甲烷部分氧化制合成气催化行为研究

采用浸渍法制备了单一载体(Al₂O₃、ZrO₂、CeO₂)和ZrO₂、CeO₂改性的Al₂O₃复合载体的Ni催化剂,考察了在甲烷部分氧化制备合成气反应中的催化性能。通过N₂-物理吸附、H₂程序升温还原、X射线衍射、NH₃程序升温脱附和程序升温氧化等技术对催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,在单一载体催化剂中,Ni/Al₂O₃具有较大的比表面积,其初始反应活性较高,但该催化剂表面易形成大量的积炭而快速失活。Ni/ZrO₂和Ni/CeO₂催化剂比表面积较小,活性金属Ni在其表面分散性差,催化剂具有较低的CH₄转化率。而CeO₂和ZrO₂改性的Al₂O₃复合载体催化剂,具有较大的比表面积,反应活性明显高于单一载体催化剂。CeO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体催化剂具有最高的反应活性和较好的反应稳定性。同时表明,含CeO₂催化剂反应后表面积炭较少,CeO₂的储放氧功能增强了催化剂对O₂的活化,提高催化剂活性的同时,可以抑制积炭的生成。     

Structural investigation in the TiB2-(Na2O·B2O3·Al2O3) system

Composites in the TiB₂-Na₂O·B₂O₃·Al₂O₃ systems, TiB₂-MBA (MB stands for sodium metaborate and A is Al₂O₃), were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), in simultaneous mode. Selection of these compositions was ruled by the interesting properties of both TiB₂ and double borates of alkali metal and aluminum. The structure of the obtained materials was evaluated by micro-Raman spectroscopy, from room temperature up to 600 °C, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Formation of the TiB₂ and TiO_2−xB_x phases along with TiO₂ as rutile were identified as titanium speciation in the grain phase embedded in a sodium aluminum borate matrix. Integration of the Raman spectra of the grain phases revealed a TiB₂ content of 16.99% and 23.32% for the two composite investigated 2TiB₂·2MBA and 3TiB₂·5MBA. A constrained-width model for the spectral deconvolution of the high-frequency Raman band was forwarded to calculate the proportion of tetrahedral boron atoms (7.424%) in the blank borate matrix Na₂B₂O₄·Al₂O₃ in solid phase.     

Effects of ceria addition and pre-calcination temperature on performance of cobalt catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Summary The effect of ceria addition on the performance of 10 wt.% Co catalysts supported on SiO2 and Al2O3 for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis has been investigated. The catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction technique. The catalytic tests (P = 1 atm, T = 488 K, H2/CO = 2, GHSV=1800 h-1) indicate that with addition of ceria, significant changes in CO conversion and hydrocarbon selectivities are observed. Also, the experiments show that the performance of 10 wt.% Co-CeO2/Al2O3 depends on the ceria concentration as well as on the pre-calcination temperature.
