Rh/ZnO-Al2O3催化剂用于巴豆醛选择性加氢（英文）

Gas phase hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde was performed over 1 wt% Rh/ZnO-Al2O3 catalysts with various Zn/Rh atomic ratios. Monometallic Rh/Al2O3 was also prepared for comparison. The samples were prepared by the successive impregnation of Al2O3 with chlo-ride precursors of zinc and rhodium. The solids have been characterized by H2 chemisorption,temperature-programmed reduction,scanning electron microscopy,and cyclohexane dehydrogenation. Their catalytic behaviour in the gas phase crotonaldehyde hydrogenation reaction after reduction treatment in flowing hydrogen at 723 K was investigated. The relationship between catalytic activity,selectivity for crotyl alcohol,and physicochemical properties of the catalysts was examined. Results obtained showed that the presence of Zn clearly promotes the hydrogenation of the carbonyl bond. The catalyst with Zn/Rh atomic ratio of 5 displayed good catalytic stability and the highest selectivity for crotyl alcohol(70%) along with alloy formation.     

TiO2担载镍催化剂上硝基苯液相加氢（英文）

The catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline employing nickel impregnated on rutile,anatase,and high surface area titania supports has been investigated.The nickel is present in elemental state as fcc phase on the catalyst as evidenced by X-ray diffraction results.The Ni crystallite size was found to be greater for Ni/anatase.The temperature-programmed reduction results suggest a greater metal-support interaction for Ni/rutile.The observed order of catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is Ni/rutile > Ni/anatase > Ni/TiO2.A conversion of 99% was observed for Ni/rutile at 140 oC and hydrogen pressure of 1.96 MPa.Interestingly,aniline is the only product formed which demonstrates the catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene proceeds with atom economy.Both Ni/rutile and Ni/anatase exhibited a better stability than Ni/TiO2.The hydrogenation proceeds with the preferential adsorption of hydrogen on nickel present in the catalyst surface,possibly assisted by TiOx species.     

Effects of the Specific Area and the Thermal Stability of a Polymer on the Catalytic Activities of Polymer Immobilized Co-Pd Catalysts by SAMI

Co-Pd bimetallic catalysts immobilized with four kinds of resins with different specific areas were prepared by means of the solvated metal atom impregnation (SMAI) method. The results of the XRD and the magnetic measurement showed that as the specific area of the resin increased, the particle sizes of Co and Pd on the catalysts with the same metal content decreased, so the catalytic activity of the catalysts for the hydrogenation of diacetone alcohol as well as the reduction of oxygen on the fuel cell electrode increased. Below 140 , the conversion of diacetone alcohol increased as the reaction temperature increased, and above 140 , the conversion decreased because of the rupture of the resin.     

Facile preparation of bi-functional iron doped mesoporous materials and their application in the cycloaddition of CO_2

Two kinds of bi-functional transition metal doped mesoporous materials(Fe-HMS and Fe-MCM-41) are prepared using one-step hydrothermal method and then treated with hydrochloric acid ethanol solution.The N_2 adsorption and HRTEM results show that both of Fe-HMS and Fe-MCM-41 possess mesoporous structure. The UV–vis results suggest that the Fe species are mainly located within the framework. The basicity of as-prepared samples was studied by temperature programmed desorption using CO_2 as probe molecule(CO_2-TPD). The catalytic performance of Fe-HMS and Fe-MCM-41 in CO_2 cycloaddition largely depends on the amount of the accessible basic sites. The acid–base active sites, framework Fe and PDDA species cooperatively catalyze the CO_2 cycloaddition for the production of cyclic carbonates under the condition without any co-catalyst. The conversion of epichlorohydrin(ECH) is 97.4% and the selectivity of chloropropene carbonate is 92.9% under optimal conditions. The approximate rate constant of cycloaddition reaction of CO_2 with ECH under optimum reaction temperature is calculated. It is worth noting that the Fe-HMS material shows superior reusability than Fe-MCM-41. In addition, this work provides a facile way on the synthesis of bi-functional acid–base heterogeneous catalyst with outstanding catalytic performance for the fixation of CO_2.     

Co,K-supported Hexagonal Mesoporous Silicas for Catalytic Oxidation of 4-t-Butyltoluene

<正>Co,K-Supported hexagonal mesoporous silicas(HMS) have been prepared by incipient wetness impregnation with cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and potassium acetate as metal precursors,and ethylene glycol as impregnation solvent.The products have been characterized via powder X-ray diffraction,N_2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy.The divalent cobalt with a tetrahedral oxygen coordination exists mainly in the calcined samples.The catalytic properties have been tested for the oxidation of 4-t-butyltoluene with dioxygen in liquid phase at mild conditions.The products offered good catalytic activities in the oxidation reactions.Co-K-HMS catalyst with loading 4%Co and 2%K(mass fraction) affords a higher yield(22.4%) of 4-t-butylbenzaldehyde at a conversion of 28.3%under the reaction conditions.Adding a proper amount of potassium in Co-HMS results in an improvement catalytic activity and stability.     

纳米贵金属插入的粘土用于催化选择性加氢反应

 The use of clay minerals in the synthesis of nanosized noble metal particles to give increased catalytic activity was investigated. Nanosized platinum and ruthenium catalysts intercalated in clay (montmorillonite/hectorite) were synthesised and their catalytic activity was evaluated for the selective hydrogenation of three different α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, namely, crotonaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, and citral, in a gas phase microreactor. The metal nano-sol was prepared by the chemical reduction of its precursor by the micellar technique in the presence of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and the micelle stabilized metal particles were intercalated in the clay mineral by ion exchange. TEM micrographs of the catalyst particles showed that the metal particles were in the nanometre range. The average diameters of the particles were 1–25 nm. The effects of temperature, metal loading, and hydrogen flow rate on the catalytic activity and selectivity for α,β- unsaturated alcohol were studied. The results were correlated with the structural properties of the catalysts. The products formed in each reaction over the different catalysts showed that the catalysts were very active for hydrogenation, and the selectivity for the desired product, namely, α,β-unsaturated alcohol, was good. The metal catalysts intercalated in montmorillonite showed better selectivity than that in hectorite because of its higher acidity. Increased selectivity for α,β-unsaturated alcohol was observed with increased flow rate of hydrogen.     

Prospects and crucial problems in oligomerization and polymerization with iron and cobalt complex catalysts

<正>The discovery of highly active 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl iron and cobalt complexes provided a milestone of latetransition metal catalysts for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization with being currently investigated for the scale-up process.The crucial problems are remaining in the catalytic systems:the catalytic systems targeting ethylene polymerization produce more oligomers at elevated reaction temperatures,however,there is a recognizable amount of high-molecular-weight polyethylene remained in the modified catalytic system for the oligomerization process.Beyond the modification of bis(imino)pyridyl metal complexes,several alternative procatalysts' models have been developed in our group.This review highlighted the achievements in exploring new iron and cobalt complexes with tridentate NNN ligands as procatalysts for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization.     

Improving photoreduction of CO_2 with water to CH_4 in a novel concentrated solar reactor

CO_2 photoreduction is an attractive process which allows the storage of solar energy and synthesis of solar fuels. Many different photocatalytic systems have been developed, while the alternative photo-reactors are still insufficiently investigated. In this work, photoreduction of CO_2 with H_2O into CH_4 was investigated in a modified concentrating solar reactor, using TiO_2 and Pt/TiO_2 as the catalysts. The TiO_2 and Pt/TiO_2 samples were extensively characterized by different techniques including powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), N_2 adsorption/desorption and UV–vis absorption. The catalytic performance of the TiO_2 and Pt/TiO_2 samples in the gas phase was evaluated under unconcentrated and concentrated Xe-lamp light and nature solar light with different concentrating ratios. Various parameters of the reaction system and the catalysts were investigated and optimized to maximize the catalytic performance of CO_2 reduction system. Compared with the normal light irradiation, the TiO_2 and Pt/TiO_2 samples show higher photocatalytic activity(about 6–7 times) for reducing CO_2 into CH_4 under concentrated Xe-lamp light and nature solar light. In the range of experimental light intensity, it is found that the concentration of the light makes it suitable for the catalytic reaction, and increases the utilization efficiency of the TiO_2 and Pt/TiO_2 samples while does not decrease the quantum efficiency.     

CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF POLYMER-STABILIZED COLLOIDAL METAL NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED BY MICROWAVE IRRADIATION

Catalytic properties of polymer-stabilized colloidal metal nanoparticles synthesized by microwave irradiation were studied in the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes, o-chloronitrobenzene and the hydrogenation of alkenes. The results show that nanosized metal particles synthesized by microwave irradiation have similar catalytic performance in selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes, better selectivity to o-chloroaniline in hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene and higher catalytic activities in hydrogenation of alkenes, compared with metal clusters prepared by conventional heating. The same apparent activation energy (Ea = 29 kJ mol^-1) for hydrogenation of 1-heptene catalyzed with platinum nanoparticles prepared by both heating modes implied that the reaction followed the same mechanism.     

Ti-Si composite oxide-supported cobalt catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation

In the present work, different silica-based supported cobalt (Co) catalysts were synthesized and used for CO2 hydrogenation for methanation. Different supports, such as SSP, MCM-41, TiSSP and TiMCM were used to prepare Co catalysts with 20 wt% Co loading. The supports and catalysts were characterized by means of N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM/EDX, XPS, TPR and CO chemisorption. It is found that after calcination of catalysts, Ti is present in the form of anatase. The introduction of Ti plays important roles in the properties of Co catalysts by:(i) facilitating the reduction of Co oxides species which are strongly interacted with support, (ii) preventing the formation of silicate compounds, and (iii) inhibiting the RWGS reaction. Based on CO2 hydrogenation, the CoTiMCM catalyst exhibites the highest activity and stability.     

SYNTHESIS OF POLYMER-STABILIZED PLATINUM/RUTHENIUM BIMETALLIC COLLOIDS AND THEIR CATALYTIC PROPERTIES FOR SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF CROTONALDEHYDE

Polymer-stabilized platinum/ruthenium bimetallic colloids （Pt/Ru） were synthesized by polyol reduction with microwave irradiation and characterized by TEM and XPS. The colloidal nanoparticles have small and narrow size distributions. Catalytic performance of the Pt/Ru colloidal catalysts was investigated on the selective hydrogenation of crontonaldehyde （CRAL）. A suitable amount of the added metal ions and base can improve the selectivity of CRAL to crotylalcohol （CROL） remarkably. The catalytic activity and the selectivity are dependent on the compositions of bimetallic colloids. Thereinto, PVP-stabilized 9Pt/1Ru colloid with a molar ratio of metals Pt：Ru = 9：1 shows the highest catalytic selectivity 77.3% to CROL at 333 K under 4.0 MPa of hydrogen.     

Effect of alcohol solvents treated ZrO（OH）2 hydrogel on properties of ZrO2 and its catalytic performance in isosynthesis

A series of ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by treating ZrO(OH)2 hydrogel with different alcohol solvents (C2-C4 alcohols) and calcining under N2 flow at 773 K for 3 h. The obtained ZrO2 catalysts were systematically characterized by the methods of N2 adsorption-desorption, powder X-ray diffraction, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, and CO2 temperature-programmed desorption. The catalytic performance of each catalyst was evaluated in the selective synthesis of iso-C4 (isobutene and isobutane) and light olefins (C2= ～C4= ) from CO hydrogenation. The specific surface area increased for the ZrO2 catalysts obtained by treating ZrO(OH)2 hydrogel with different alcohol solvents. The amounts of both acidic and basic sites on the catalyst surface increased obviously. The catalytic activity (CO conversion) of ZrO2 catalysts also increased after the treatment with different alcohol solvents. The highest activity was obtained over the catalyst which was pretreated with isopropanol. However, alcohol solvent treatment retarded the transformation of ZrO2 crystal structure from tetragonal phase to monoclinic phase, and subsequently resulted in the decrease of monoclinic phase in ZrO2, which led to the decrease of olefin selectivity in corresponding hydrocarbon products (C2=～C4= /CH).     

Influence of lanthanum on the performance of Zr-Co/activated carbon catalysts in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

The influence of La loading on Zr-Co/activated carbon （AC） catalysts has been studied for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The catalyst samples were characterized by XRD, TPR, CO-TPD, and temperature programmed CO hydrogenation. The catalytic property was evaluated in a fixed bed reactor. The experimental results showed that CO conversion increased from 86.4% to 92.3% and the selectivity to methane decreased from 14.2% to 11.5% and C5＋ selectivity increased from 71.0% to 74.7% when low La loading （La = 0.2wt%） was added into the Zr-Co/AC catalyst. However, high loadings of La （La = 0.3-1.0 wt%） would decrease catalyst activity as well as the C5＋ selectivity and increase methane selectivity. XRD results displayed that La-modified Zr-Co/AC catalyst had little effect on the dispersion of Co catalyst. But, the results of TPR, CO-TPD, and temperature programmed CO hydrogenation techniques indicated that the extent of cobalt reduction was found to greatly influence the activity and selectivity of the catalyst. The addition of a small amount of La increased the reducibility of the Zr-Co/AC catalyst and restrained the formation of methane and improved the selectivity to long chain hydrocarbons. However, excess of La led to the decrease of the reducibility of Co catalyst thus resulted in higher methanation activity.     

Tuned selectivity and enhanced activity of CO2 methanation over Ru catalysts by modified metal-carbonate interfaces

Carbonate-modified metal-support interfaces allow Ru/MnCO₃ catalyst to exhibit over 99% selectivity,great specific activity and long-term anti-CO poisoning stability in atmospheric CO₂ methanation.As a contrast,Ru/MnO catalyst with metal-oxide interfaces prefers reverse water-gas shift rather than methanation route,along with a remarkably lower activity and a less than 15% CH₄ selectivity.The carbonatemodified interfaces are found to stabilize the Ru species and activate CO₂ and H₂ molecules.Ru-CO⁴ species are identified as the reaction intermediates steadily formed from CO₂ dissociation,which show moderate adsorption strength and high reactivity in further hydrogenation to CH₄,Furthermore,carbonates of Ru/MnCO₃ are found to be consumed by hydrogenation to form CH₄ and replenished by exchange with CO₂,which are in a dynamic equilibrium during the reaction.Modification with surface carbonates is proved as an efficient strategy to endow metal-support interfaces of Ru-based catalysts with unique catalytic functions for selective CO₂ hydrogenation.     

HIGHER ALCOHOL SYNTHESIS FROM CO_2 AND H_2 BY ALKALI-PROMOTED COPPER-COBALT-CHROMIUM OXIDE CATALYSTS

The activity of alkali-promoted copper-cobalt-chromium oxide cata-lysts for the reaction of CO_2+H_2 has been investigated.The results show thatcopper-cobalt-chromium oxide is a most effective catalyst for hydrogenation ofCO_2 with a high CO_2 conversion and an alcohol distribution from C_1 to C_6.X-ray diffraction indicates that after reaction the main phases on both alkali-promoted and unpromoted catalysts are Cu metal and CoCr_2O_4 spinel.The only dif-ference between the two reacted catalysts is that there is a little amount of Cu-Co solid solution on the former and Co-metal on the latter.Cu-Co solid solutionis found as an active phase for higher alcohol synthesis.     

Carbon layer-coated ordered mesoporous silica supported Co-based catalysts for higher alcohol synthesis: The role of carbon source

Surface chemical properties of supports have an important influence on active sites and their catalytic behavio r.Here,we fabricated a series of cobalt-based catalysts supported by carbon layer-coated ordered mesoporous silica(OMS) composites for higher alcohol synthesis(HAS).The carbon layers were derived from different sources and uniformly coated on the porous surface of OMS.Combined with the characterization results of carbonized catalysts,it is demonstrated that the carbon layer-coated supports significantly enhanced the metal dispersion and increased the ratio of Co2+ to Co0 sites,which further increased the CO conversion and alcohols selectivity.Moreover,it is found that the catalytic activity changed in line with the amount of defects and surface oxygenic groups of carbon layers,which re sulted from the different carbon sources.The highest space time yield of C2+OH was 27.5 mmol gcat-1h-1)obtained by the catalyst coated with glucose-derived carbon layer.But the carbon source is not the key factor influencing the distribution of Co-Co2+ dual sites and shows little effect on selectivity in HAS.These results may guide for further design of carbon supported catalysts.     

PRODUCTION OF LIGHT ALKENES FROM CO AND/OR CO_2 HYDROGENATION OVER K-Fe-MnO/SILICALITE-2 CATALYST

High selectivity to light alkenes can be achieved from CO and CO_2hydrogenation over K-Fe-MnO/Si-2 catalyst.The alkene selectivity isinsensitive to reaction temperature for CO hydrogenation,while apparentlyincreases for CO_2 hydrogenation with raising reaction temperature.An increasein alkene selectivity is observed for both CO and CO_2 hydrogenation with GHSVrising,While a decrease with the elevation of reaction pressure for both CO/H_2and CO_2/H_2 reaction.A two-step mechanism is suggested forCO_2 hydrogenation to form hydrocarbons,by which the variations incontributions of CO and HC as products of CO_2/H_2 reaction with change ofreaction temperature,GHSV and pressure are explained.Moreover,thecatalyst is favorable for selective production of light olefins,which can alsoconcern the slightly secondary reactions of light olefins to some extent.     

Synergistic Effects of the ZnCl2-SiCl4 Modified TiCl4 /MgCl2 /THF Catalytic System on Ethylene/1-Hexene and Ethylene/1-Octene Copolymerizations简

The copolymerizations of ethylene with 1-hexene or 1-octene by using TiCl4 /MgCl2 /THF catalysts modified with different metal halide additives(ZnCl2, SiCl4, and the combined ZnCl2-SiCl4) were investigated based on catalytic activity and copolymer properties. It was found that the catalyst modified with mixed ZnCl2-SiCl4 revealed the highest activities for both ethylene/1-hexene and ethylene/1-octene copolymerization. The increase in activities was due to the formation of acidic sites by modifying the catalysts with Lewis acids. Based on the FTIR measurements, the characteristic C―O―C peaks of the catalysts modified with metal halide additives were slightly shifted to lower wavenumber when compared to the unmodified catalyst. This showed that the modified catalysts could generate more acid sites in the TiCl4 /MgCl2 /THF catalytic system leading to an increase in activities as well as comonomer insertion(as proven by13C-NMR). However, Lewis acidmodifications did not affect the microstructure of the copolymers obtained. By comparison on the properties of copolymers prepared with the unmodified catalyst, it was found that polymers with ZnCl2 and/or SiCl4 modification exhibited a slight decrease in melting temperature, crystallinity and density. It is suggested that these results were obtained based on the different amount of α-olefins insertion, regardless of the types of Lewis acids and comonomer.     

Styrene epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide over calcium oxide catalysts prepared from various precursors

A series of CaO samples were prepared by calcination of commercially available and synthesis of calcium salt precursors such as calcium acetate,carbonate,hydroxide and oxalate etc.CaO samples were found to be effective for the epoxidation of styrene using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant in the presence of acetonitrile.To determine the influence of the physicochemical properties and surface basicity on the catalytic activity,the prepared CaO samples were characterized using thermogravimetry(TG),X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),N2-adsorption and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2(CO2-TPD).The results indicate that the amounts of very strong basic sites and high basicity strength on CaO sample are key factors for its excellent catalytic performance.In contrast,the surface area,porosity and the surface structure of CaO sample have a relatively minor effect on the catalytic activity.CaO sample,obtained by the decomposition of Ca(OH)2,prepared by precipitating calcium nitrate with sodium hydroxide in ethylene glycol solution,exhibits the highest amount of very strong basic sites and stronger strength of basic sites,and therefore it catalyses the epoxidation of styrene with the highest rate among the tested CaO samples.Under the selected reaction conditions,the selectivity of 97.5% to styrene oxide at a conversion in excess of 99% could be obtained.     

High-yield production of 2,5-dimethylfuran from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over carbon supported Ni–Co bimetallic catalyst

The catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran(DMF) has attracted extensive research interests because DMF can be used as potential and competitive renewable transportation fuel or additives. Here we report a non-noble bimetallic catalyst with improved activity for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis by introducing active carbon as support into a nickel–cobalt catalyst. The characterizations of the catalyst indicate that the Ni and Co species are uniformly dispersed on the active carbon through the wetness impregnation method. The influences of reaction temperature and hydrogen pressure are systematically investigated and an excellent yield(up to 95%) of DMF can be obtained at relatively mild conditions, 130 °C and 1 MPa H_2, over the carbon supported Ni–Co bimetallic catalyst. The high catalytic activity originates from the synergistic effect between Ni and CoO xspecies, the high BET surface area of the catalyst, and the uniform dispersion of Ni and Co species on the active carbon. The catalyst could be reused for 5 times without loss of activity in a batch reactor. Futhermore, the conversion of HMF to DMF on a fixed-bed reactor was also investigated and the 2%Ni–20%Co/C catalyst exhibited an excellent yield to DMF(90%) for 71 h time on stream, indicating the high activity and stability of the catalyst.
