Mathematical simulation of self-oscillations in methane oxidation on nickel: An isothermal model

The dynamics of methane oxidation on nickel was studied by mathematical modeling within the framework of an 18-step microkinetic scheme. The model examined predicts the appearance of self-oscillations caused by the periodic oxidation-reduction of nickel in the reaction proceeding under isothermal conditions.     

Selective oxidation and ammoxidation of ethane over ion-exchanged Co-MCM-49 zeolites

Summary Ion-exchanged Co-Na-MCM-49 and Co-H-MCM-49 zeolites are active catalysts for the selective oxidation and ammoxidation of ethane. The presence of ammonia in the feeds can considerably improve the selectivity and yield of the sum of ethylene and acetonitrile.     

Selective oxidation of alcohols over nickel zirconium phosphate

Nickel zirconium phosphate nanoparticles were found to function as efficient catalysts for the selec-tive oxidation of a wide range of alcohols to their corresponding ketones and aldehydes using H2O2 as an oxidizing agent and without any organic solvents, phase transfer catalysts, or additives. The steric and electronic properties of various substrates had significant influence on the reaction con-ditions required to achieve acetylation. The results showed that this method can be applied for the chemoselective oxidation of benzyl alcohols in the presence of aliphatic alcohols. The catalyst used in the current study was characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, NH3-TPD, Py-FTIR, N2 adsorp-tion-desorption, SEM and TEM. These analyses revealed that the interlayer distance in the catalyst increased from 0.75 to 0.98 nm when Ni2+ was intercalated between the layers, whereas the crystal-linity of the material was reduced. The nanocatalyst could also be recovered and reused at least seven times without any discernible decrease in its catalytic activity. This new method for the oxi-dation of alcohols has several key advantages, including mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions, short reaction time, excellent yields and a facile work-up.     

Kinetics of ethane oxidation

Ethane oxidation in jet-stirred reactor has recently been investigated at high temperature (800–1200 K) in the pressure range 1–10 atm and molecular species (H₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₂, C₂H₄, C₂H₆) concentration profiles were obtained by probe sampling and GC analysis. Ethane oxidation was modeled using a comprehensive kinetic reaction mechanism including the most recent findings concerning the kinetics of the reactions involved in the oxidation of C₁? C₄ hydrocarbons. The proposed mechanism is able to reproduce experimental data obtained in our high-pressure jet stirred reactor and ignition delay times measured in shock tube in the pressure range 1–13 atm, for temperatures extending from 800 to 2000 K and equivalence ratios of 0.1 to 2. It is also able to reproduce atoms concentrations (H,O) measured in shock tube at ≈2 atm. The same detailed kinetic mechanism can also be used to model the oxidation of methane, ethylene, propyne, and allene in similar conditions.     

Selective oxidation of ethane to aldehydes over SBA-15 supported molybdenum catalyst

SBA-15 supported Mo catalysts （Moy/SBA-15） were prepared by an ultrasonic assisted incipient-wetness impregnation method. The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by means of N2-adsorption-desorption, XRD, TEM, UV-Vis, Raman, XANES and H2-TPR. The results showed that a trace amount of MoO3 was produced on high Mo content samples. Tum-over frequency （TOF） and product selectivity are dependent on the molybdenum content. Both Mo0.75/SBA-15 and Mo1.75/SBA-15 catalysts give the higher catalytic activity and the selectivity to the total aldehydes for the selective oxidation of C2H6. At the reaction temperature of 625℃, the maximum yield of aldehydes reached 4.2% over Mo0.75/SBA-15 catalyst. The improvement of the activity and selectivity was related with the state of MoOx species.     

Partial oxidation of methane and ethane to oxygenates over silica supported rhenium oxide

Silica supported rhenium oxide has been studied for partial oxidation of methane and ethane with oxygen. Loading of rhenium oxide on silica remarkably increases the conversions of methane and ethane. The presence of rhenium oxide increases the selectivity to useful oxygenates, particularly in ethane oxidation. The results suggest that rhenium oxide not only activates methane or ethane but also enhances oxygen transfer to form oxygenates.

Mathematical modeling of the inhibited radical chain oxidation of organic compounds

A new software package is suggested for solving the inverse kinetic problem for inhibited oxidation reactions of organic compounds. The software has been developed using inhibited n-decane oxidation as the model reaction.     

Specific activity of supported nickel in the hydrogenolysis of ethane

It has been found that over a wide range of dispersities (15–70 Å) the specific activity of supported nickel is independent of the metal particle size and the method of catalyst preparation. However, samples with nickel particle size 10 Å are characterized by higher specific activity, which may be related to the structural features of small nickel clusters.

Study of electrochemical oxidation of nickel catecholate complexes with bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane by cyclic voltammetry and ESR

One-and two-electron electrochemical oxidation of the (dppe)Ni(Cat) complexes (dppe is bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, Cat is the sterically hindered catechol dianion) was studied. The transfer of the first electron proceeds reversibly to give paramagnetic species; parameters of their EPR spectra attest to a square planar geometry of one-electron oxidation products. The transfer of the second electron is irreversible because of co-proportionation of radical cations involving the initial complexes and the generated dications.

Mathematical simulation of the oxygen–ethane reaction

Previous experimentation on the initial stages of the oxygen-ethane reaction at temperatures near 600°C demonstrated the existence of a significant induction period under homogeneous conditions. Below 0.13% conversion, the rate with oxygen is less than the rate of ethane pyrolysis in the absence of oxygen. Experiments were conducted with mixtures of ～1% ethane and ～0.4% oxygen in nitrogen using the “wall-less” technique. Mathematical simulations of the oxidative and simple pyrolyses of ethane were established by a numerical analysis. The experimentally observed induction period and the mechanisms previously proposed are supported by these computations. Steady-state conditions are much more slowly attained in the presence of oxygen than in its absence.     

Effect of heat transfer on the oscillatory behavior in partial oxidation of methane over nickel catalyst

Monte Carlo method was applied to simulate the oscillatory behavior during partial oxidation of methane under non-isothermal condition. The simulation was performed to examine the influences of heat transfer constant and particle size on the kinetic oscillation. The oscillatory period and amplitude were observed to increase with the increase of heat transfer constant. The increase of catalyst particle size was found to result in short oscillatory period and more or less regular oscillations combined with the formation of oxide down to L=100.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over movmnw oxide catalysts

Catalysts based on mixed oxide of MoVMn are active at relatively low temperature for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. Incorporation of tungsten into MoVMn oxides enhances the catalytic activity. Enhancement of the activity is explained in the light of acid-base interaction accompanied with a redox mechanism of surface reoxidation.

Kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation of sulfur dioxide over titanium dioxide and nickel oxide

The reactions between SO₂ and O₂ were carried out in the presence of TiO₂ and NiO under various partial pressures of SO₂ and O₂ at temperatures from 240 to 330°C. TiO₂ and NiO were pretreated by applying an annealing effect from which the catalysts would have the different activity. The rates are the highest for TiO₂ pretreated at high temperature in the region of 400 to 600deg;C in vacuum, 1.21 × 10^?4 mmHg. In contrast, the rates are the lowest for NiO pretreated at high temperaturefrom 350 to 550°C. The data have been correlated with 1.4 and first-order kinetics for TiO₂ and NiO, respectively. A reaction mechanism to explain the data was suggested. The quantities of anionic vacancies in TiO₂ surfaces and of positive holes in NiO appeared to be paramount in determining the type of kinetics.     

Partial oxidation of ethane to syngas in an oxygen-permeable membrane reactor

A perovskite-type oxide of Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Co_0.8Fe_0.2O_3−δ (BSCFO) with mixed electronic and oxygen ionic conductivity at high temperatures was used as an oxygen-permeable membrane. A tubular membrane of BSCFO made by extrusion method has been used in the membrane reactor to exclusively transport oxygen for the partial oxidation of ethane (POE) to syngas with catalyst of LiLaNiO/γ-Al₂O₃ at temperatures of 800–900 °C. After only 30 min POE reaction in the membrane reactor, the oxygen permeation flux reached at 8.2 ml cm⁻² min⁻¹. After that, the oxygen permeation flux increased slowly and it took 12 h to reach at 11.0 ml cm⁻² min⁻¹. SEM and EDS analysis showed that Sr and Ba segregations occurred on the used membrane surface exposed to air while Co slightly enriched on the membrane surface exposed to ethane. The oxygen permeation flux increased with increasing of concentration of C₂H₆, which was attributed to increasing of the driving force resulting from the more reducing conditions produced with an increase of concentration of C₂H₆ in the feed gas. The tubular membrane reactor was successfully operated for POE reaction at 875 °C for more than 100 h without failure, with ethane conversion of ∼100%, CO selectivity of >91% and oxygen permeation fluxes of 10–11 ml cm⁻² min⁻¹.
