Infrared spectroscopic investigation of CO adsorption on SBA-15- and KIT-6-supported nickel phosphide hydrotreating catalysts

The infrared (IR) spectra of CO adsorbed on 10, 20, and 30 wt % nickel phosphide-containing reduced SBA-15 and KIT-6 mesoporous silica-supported catalysts have been studied at 300-473 K. On the catalysts containing a stoichiometric amount of phosphorus with 20 wt % loading, the most intense IR absorption band was observed at 2097-2099 cm(-1), which was assigned to CO terminally bonded to coordinatively unsaturated Ni(delta+) (0 < delta < 1) sites. The frequency of this band was 15 cm(-1), higher than that in the spectrum of a reduced Ni2P/SiO2 catalyst, indicating a modified Ni-P charge distribution. This band shifted to lower wavenumbers, and its intensity decreased, while the relative intensity of another band at 2191-2194 cm(-1) assigned to CO terminally bonded to P increased going to catalytically less active, excess-P-containing SBA-15-supported catalysts. CO also adsorbed as a bridged carbonyl (1910 cm(-1)) and as Ni(CO)4 (2050 cm(-1)) species, and the formation of surface carbonates was also identified. The nature of the surface acidity was studied by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). Weak and strong acid sites were revealed, and the high excess-P-containing catalyst released the highest amount of ammonia, indicating that a high concentration of strong acidity can be disadvantageous for reaching high hydrotreating catalytic activity. The modified Ni-P charge distribution, the mode of CO adsorption on surface nickel phosphide sites, as well as the acidity can be directly connected to the catalytic activity of these mesoporous silica-supported catalysts.     

Amino-functionalized pore-expanded SBA-15 for CO2 adsorption

The adsorption of CO₂ on pore-expanded SBA-15 mesostructured silica functionalized with amino groups was studied. The synthesis of conventional SBA-15 was modified to obtain pore-expanded materials, with pore diameters from 11 to 15 nm. Post-synthesis functionalization treatments were carried out by grafting with diethylenetriamine (DT) and by impregnation with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI). The adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption–desorption at 77 K, elemental analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy. CO₂ capture was studied by using a volumetric adsorption technique at 45 °C. Consecutive adsorption–desorption experiments were also conducted to check the cyclic behaviour of adsorbents in CO₂ capture. An improvement in CO₂ adsorption capacity and efficiency of amino groups was found for pore-expanded SBA-15 impregnated materials in comparison with their counterparts prepared from conventional SBA-15 with smaller pore size. PEI and TEPA-based adsorbents reached significant CO₂ uptakes at 45 °C and 1 bar (138 and 164 mg CO₂/g, respectively), with high amine efficiencies (0.33 and 0.37 mol CO₂/mol N), due to the positive effect of the larger pore diameter in the diffusion and accessibility of organic groups. Pore-expanded SBA-15 samples grafted with DT and impregnated with PEI showed a good stability after several adsorption–desorption cycles of pure CO₂. PEI-impregnated adsorbent was tested in a fixed bed reactor with a diluted gas mixture containing 15 % CO₂, 5 % O₂, 80 % Ar and water (45 °C, 1 bar). A noteworthy adsorption capacity of 171 mg CO₂/g was obtained in these conditions, which simulate flue gas after the desulphurization step in a thermal power plant.

CO oxidation catalyzed by Ag/SBA-15 catalysts: Influence of the hydrothermal treatment

Four types of SBA-15 were prepared with different times and temperatures of treatment in order to obtain a range of micropore sizes. CO oxidation was used as a probe reaction in order to evaluate the nature of the active species when SBA-15s were doped with ca 10% Ag deposited from an AgNO₃ solution and calcined or reduced at 350 °C. The texture (TEM, nitrogen physisorption), structure (XRD) and reducibility (TPR) of the various catalysts (Ag/SBA-15) were studied and compared to those of a catalyst prepared by deposition of silver on fumed silica as a reference. These catalysts differ initially by the nature of silica and by pore sizes. In CO oxidation, pre-reduced catalysts are more active than pre-oxidised ones. This has to do with two phenomena, i.e. sintering, which produces large inactive silver particles, and formation of active silver species in the form of small Ag₂O particles.     

Infrared spectroscopic study of CO adsorption on supported bimetallic Pt?Pb/SiO2 catalysts

With increasing Pb content, the IR band of linearly adsorbed CO is significantly shifted to lower frequencies. The greatest influence of lead is observed up to 15% Pb. An X-ray diffraction study indicates the formation of Pt_5–7–Pb and Pt–Pb alloys for bimetallic catalysts with a Pt/Pt+Pb ratio equal to 30%.

Co-Mo/γ-Al2O3催化剂的原位红外光谱表征研究

Silylated Co/SBA-15 catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

A series of silylated Co/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared via the reaction of surface Si-OH of SBA-15 with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) under anhydrous, vapor-phase conditions, and then characterized by FT-IR, N₂ physisorption, TG, XRD, and TPR-MS. The results showed that organic modification led to a silylated SBA-15 surface composed of stable hydrophobic Si-(CH₃)₃ species even after calcinations and H₂ reduction at 673 K. Furthermore, the hydrophobic surface strongly influenced both metal dispersion and reducibility. Compared with non-silylated Co/SBA, Co/S-SBA (impregnation after silylation) showed a high activity, due to the better cobalt reducibility on the hydrophobic support. However, S-Co/SBA (silylation after impregnation) had the lowest FT activity among all the catalysts, due to the lower cobalt reducibility along with the steric hindrance of grafted -Si(CH₃)₃ for the re-adsorption of α-olefins.     

Redox properties of vanadium ions in SBA-15-supported vanadium oxide: an FTIR spectroscopic study

The state of vanadium ions in VxOy/SBA-15 (2.7 wt % V) was studied with FTIR spectroscopy using CO and NO as probe molecules. Neither CO (at 85 K) nor NO (at RT) adsorb on the oxidized sample because of the coordinative saturation of V5+ ions and the covalent character of the V5+=O bond. After treatment of the sample in 50 kPa H2 at 673 K, the V5+ ions are reduced to two different types of V3+ sites, as manifested by carbonyl bands at 2189 and 2177 cm-1. In the presence of O2 at 85 K, thus formed V3+ ions are partly oxidized to V4+ sites showing carbonylic bands at 2202 and 2190 cm-1. When the reduced sample is exposed to O2 at room temperature, the V3+ ions are fully oxidized to V5+. The adsorption of NO on the reduced VxOy/SBA-15 shows that the V3+ and V4+ ions possess two effective coordinative vacancies and as a result can adsorb two NO molecules forming the respective V3+(NO)2 and V4+(NO)2 dinitrosyls. The introduction of O2 to the VxOy/SBA-15-NO system leads to reoxidation of the V3+ and V4+ ions to V5+ and formation of bridged (1639 cm-1) and bidentate (1573 cm-1) surface nitrates. After coadsorption of CO and NO on the reduced sample the formation of surface mixed carbonyl-nitrosyls (2108 and 1723 cm-1) was observed for the first time.

Bilirubin adsorption on amine/methyl bifunctionalized SBA-15 with platelet morphology

To remove bilirubin from human plasma, amine/methyl bifunctionalized SBA-15 materials were directly synthesized from the co-condensation of 3-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane with an amphiphilic block copolymer P123 as template. XRD, N(2) sorption analysis, FTIR and (29)Si MAS NMR were used to identify their well-ordered mesostructure and the grafting of amine and methyl groups on the surface of as-synthesized materials. Both SEM and TEM indicated that the bifunctionalized SBA-15 possessed platelet morphology. This might be attributed to the charge repulsion brought by protonated amine groups and the diminution of hydroxyl groups on the end of silicate-micelles, which passivated the end-to-end anchoring of silicate-micelles along the longitudinal axis. Such a material was investigated as the adsorbent for selective bilirubin removal from human plasma, which showed a high bilirubin clearance of 51.4% within 1.5 h with a little amount of albumin adsorption. The results of hemolysis assay suggested that the bifunctionalized SBA-15 caused serious hemolysis of red blood cells. However, in practical application, plasma separation technique could avoid direct contact between the adsorbent and red blood cells. The further hemeolysis assay proved that the plasma after contacting with the bifunctionalized SBA-15 could not lead to the hemolysis of red blood cells. Thus, the bifunctionalized SBA-15 is expected to be a potential candidate as a clinical hemoperfusion material.     

Study on the adsorption of lanthanum ion imprinted on SBA-15/Y

The lanthanum ion imprinted polymer (La-IIP/SBA-15/Y) was successfully synthesized by the surface ion imprinting method. Using La-IIP/SBA-15/Y as the adsorbent to adsorb lanthanum ions, the overall empirical conditions were optimized, and the best exploratory conditions were finally found. The pH of the solution was 2; the adsorption equilibrium was reached in 60 min and the saturated adsorption capacity was 562.95 mg/g La-IIP/SBA-15/Y adsorbed gadolinium ions in the study of its adsorption process and found that it conforms to the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model, and the adsorption reaction is a spontaneous reaction, and it also conforms to the quasi-second-order kinetic model. The selectivity of the adsorbent was explored experimentally, and the results showed that La-IIP/SBA-15/Y has good selectivity, and experimental elution and regeneration performance. The best elution effect is 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid. La-IIP/SBA-15/Y has good stability and can be reused.     

An infrared study of CO adsorption on silica-supported Ru-Sn catalysts

CO adsorption on Ru-Sn/SiO(2) catalysts of various Sn/(Ru+Sn) ratios was examined by Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier-Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. Catalysts were activated by H(2) reduction at 773 K. CO adsorbed on the catalysts shows spectra whose band frequencies are divided into three groups: (i) High Frequency Region (HFR), containing a band at 2065 cm(-1), (ii) Low Frequency Region 1 (LFR(1)), containing bands at 2040-2015 cm(-1), (iii) Low Frequency Region 2 (LFR(2)), containing bands at 1990 and 1945 cm(-1). The types of adsorbed CO species formed strongly depend on the ratio Sn/(Ru+Sn) in the catalyst, CO pressure and temperature of adsorption. Adsorption of CO on Ru sites in the Ru/SiO(2) catalyst results in LFR(1) bands at 2040-2015 cm(-1), which are independent of the CO pressure but the adsorption complexes are easily destroyed by raising the temperature. The addition of Sn to the catalyst creates new sites for CO adsorption. After adsorption at 298 K, the HFR band at 2065 cm(-1) and LFR(2) bands at 1990-1950 cm(-1) are observed. The relative intensities of these bands increase with increasing Sn-content in the samples. The LFR bands are thermally stable while the HFR band is not. The formation of the corresponding species is favored by increasing the CO pressure. Adsorbed CO species giving LFR(1) bands are assigned to linearly-adsorbed CO on the Ru(0) and/or on the Ru-Sn alloy sites. Adsorbed CO species giving HFR bands are assigned to CO adsorption on Ru(delta+)-O-Sn sites. After low temperature CO adsorption on samples with high Sn-content, only species that show bands at 1990 and 1945 cm(-1) in LFR(2) are observed.     

Toluene abatement on Ag-CeO2/SBA-15 catalysts: synergistic effect of silver and ceria

As a typical volatile organic compound, toluene is a hazardous material for human health and the environment, and currently, the development of catalysts for its oxidation into CO₂ and water is crucial. The series of Ag-CeO₂/SBA-15 catalysts is synthesized by wetness impregnation techniques and characterized by a number of physical-chemical methods (nitrogen [N₂] physisorption, small angle X-ray scattering [SAXS], transmission electron microscopy [TEM], and temperature-programmed reduction [TPR]). The toluene sorption and catalytic properties in toluene oxidation are studied. Small silver [Ag] and cerium oxide [ceria, CeO_2] particles with sizes below 3 nm are predominantly formed in the ordered structure of Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 [SBA-15]. The interactions between the Ag and CeO₂ nanoparticles are established. Temperature-programmed desorption of toluene [TPD-C₇H₈] analysis shows that physical adsorption of toluene occurs on pristine SBA-15 material, while the introduction of either silver or ceria to SBA-15 leads to the appearance of additional strongly bound chemisorbed toluene on such sites. When both Ag and CeO₂ are introduced, only chemisorbed toluene is formed over the Ag-CeO₂/SBA-15 catalyst, and the highest catalytic activity in toluene oxidation is observed over this catalyst (T_98% = 233 °C, 0.2% C₆H₅CH₃) that is attributed to the synergistic effect of ceria [CeO_2] and silver [Ag].     

A comparative FT-IR spectroscopic study of methanethiol and methanol adsorption on sodium X and Y zeolites

Adsorption of CH₃SH and CH₃OH on activated NaX and NaY zeolites has been studied by IR spectroscopy. Only NaX is able to provoke the dissociative adsorption of CH₃SH at room temperature and that of CH₃OH at 623 K. Results are discussed taking into account sodium cations in the S_III position.     

NO adsorption on MoS(x) clusters: a density functional theory study

The density functional theory (DFT) method has been used to investigate NO probe molecule adsorption on the stoichiometric (Mo(16)S(32)) and nonstoichiometric (Mo(16)S(34) and Mo(16)S(29)) clusters. The calculated adsorption energies indicate that the stoichiometric cluster has stronger NO affinity than the nonstoichiometric surfaces. It is also found that mononitrosyl adsorption is favored at low NO coverage, while dinitrosyl (germinal) and (NO)(2) dimer adsorption at high NO coverage are possible. Strong repulsive interaction has been found for the adsorbed dinitrosyl and (NO)(2) dimer species. In addition, the computed NO stretching frequencies for the mononitrosyl and dinitrosyl species agree well with the experimental data, while those of the dimer species are much lower than the suggested experimental data.     

FTIR spectroscopic study of low temperature NO adsorption and NO + O2 coadsorption on H-ZSM-5

Adsorption of NO and coadsorption of NO and O2 on H-ZSM-5 have been studied at low and room temperature by means of FTIR spectroscopy. For better interpretation of the spectra, experiments involving isotopic labeled molecules have been performed. Low temperature adsorption of NO on H-ZSM-5 results initially in formation of NO which is H-bonded to the zeolite acidic hydroxyls. A second NO molecule is inserted into the OH-NO species at higher coverages, thus forming OH(NO)2 complexes. Different kinds of NO dimers are also formed. Negligible amounts of oxygenated compounds have been detected. In the presence of oxygen, the (di)nitrosyl species are oxidized very fast even at 100 K to N2O3, NO+, NO2, and N2O4. Different kinds of adsorbed N2O3 species have been evidenced. With increasing temperature, NO+ migrates and occupies cationic positions. The latter species interacts with NO at low temperature to give an [ONNO]+ complex. This reaction is used to prove that the different bands in the 2206-2180 cm(-1) region are also due to NO+ species.

Mechanism of NO adsorption and decomposition on ruthenium catalysts

Thermal desorption and IR spectroscopic studies of NO adsorption on disperse Ru-black and Ru/Al₂O₃ catalysts have revealed that NO is adsorbed as a surface nitrosyl, nitrite and nitrate complex, the stability of which depends on the temperature. A mechanism for the interaction of adsorbed NO with Ru catalysts is suggested.
