Supercritical <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butane isomerization

Supercritical n-butane isomerization over the solid acid catalysts sulfated zirconia, TiO₂-supported H₄[Si(W₃O₁₀)₄] · xH₂O (Keggin-type heteropoly acid), and H-mordenite is studied in a flow reactor. The critical parameters of n-butane are calculated for a wide range of reaction conditions. Changing from gaseous n-butane to supercritical n-butane markedly extends the lifetime of the catalysts. Under supercritical conditions, the activity and selectivity of the catalysts are invariable, provided that the density of the reaction mixture is in the vicinity of the critical density of n-butane. After the catalysts are deactivated in the gas medium, they can be partially or completely reactivated in the supercritical fluid.Translated from Kinetika i Kataliz, Vol. 45, No. 6, 2004, pp. 942–946.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Bogdan, Klimenko, Kustov, Kazanskii.     

Effect of the nature of zeolite and modifying additives on the activity of zeolite-containing catalysts inn-butane isomerization

Isomerization ofn-butane on various types of zeolites (ZVM, ZVK, mordenite, and Y) modified with transition metals and cationic and anionic additives was investigated. Under the conditions studied, H-forms of zeolites are inactive. Pt-containing systems based on the H-form of ZVM (HZVM) are the most efficient catalysts forn-butane isomerization, and the yield of isobutane reaches 20–26 wt.% at a selectivity of 40–45%. Modification of this catalyst with Ga and Fe compounds or with an aqueous solution of HCl increases the selectivity with respect to isobutane up to 70–90%. Introduction of Zn²⁺ cations or F⁻ and SO₄ ²⁻ anions into the Pt-containing HZVM system decreases the selectivity and yield of isobutane due to the formation of very strong acidic centers on which disproportionation and hydrocracking ofn-butane mainly occur.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butenes to 1,3-butadiene over BiMoFe<Subscript>0.65</Subscript>P<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> catalysts: effect of phosphorous contents

A series of BiMoFe_0.65P _x oxide catalysts with varying phosphorous contents from 0.0 to 0.6 mol ratio were prepared by a co-precipitation method, and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) was carried out to produce 1,3-butadiene (BD) from n-butenes. The physico-chemical properties of the oxide catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, N₂ sorption, and NH₃ and 1-butene temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Among the catalysts studied here, BiMoFe_0.65P_0.1 oxide catalyst showed the highest conversion and selectivity to BD. From the result of 1-butene TPD, the higher catalytic activity is related to the amount of weakly bounded intermediate and the desorbing temperature of strongly bounded intermediates. Also, the higher catalytic activity likely originates from the acidity of the BiMoFe_0.65P_0.1 oxide catalyst; its acidity was higher than that of phosphorous-free oxide catalyst and further contained other oxide catalysts. BiMoFe_0.65P_0.1 oxide catalyst is stable and no significant deactivation for 100 h ODH reaction was shown.     

Features of deposit formation from 1,3-butadiene over Pd catalysts

Formation of carbonaceous deposits from 1,3-butadiene has been investigated over a group of Pd catalysts. Hydrogen generated in decomposition of diene at 473–523 K participates in diene hydrogenation, resulting in the formation ofn-butenes. XRD measurements have confirmed formation of dissolved carbon (PdC_x) phase. DRIFT measurements over 0.06 wt.%Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ have revealed bands at 1575 and 1464 cm⁻¹, suggesting formation of carboxylate structures. Selectivity of the competitive hydrogenation in 1,3-butadiene and propene mixture R(BD)/R(Pr) has been measured on “fresh” and poisoned samples. Accumulation of deposits has decreased the R(BD)/R(Pr) ratio. The results have been interpreted by transport hindrance and a greater prevalence of non-selective low coordination sites on the poisoned surface. Measurements over Pd, Cu, Pt and Rh catalysts have shown that the highn-butane selectivity over Pt and Rh is also accompanied with low R(BD)/R(Pr) values, suggesting that thermodynamic and mechanistic factors are not entirely separable.

n-Butane isomerization in the gas phase and under supercritical conditions

The aromatization of n-butane under supercritical conditions on gallium-, zinc-, and platinum-modified high-silica zeolites with a modulus of 30–70 was first studied, and the experimental data were compared to the results of a study of this process in the gas phase. It was found that the operational efficiency of catalysts for n-butane conversion under supercritical conditions was much higher than that for the gas-phase reaction in terms of activity, productivity, and resistance to poisoning by condensation products. The aromatization of gaseous n-butane at 530°C and 1 atm was characterized by rapid catalyst deactivation. The selectivity for the benzene-toluene-xylene (BTX) fraction was higher than 50%. Under supercritical conditions at 430–560°C and 100–200 atm, the selectivity of formation of aromatic compounds decreased by a factor of 2, whereas the yield of C₁-C₃ cracking products increased by the above factor. On the other hand, it was found that an increase in the productivity of catalysts by a factor of 20–50 with the retention of almost 100% activity for several days of operation is an advantage of the process performed under supercritical conditions. The almost complete conversion of butane under supercritical conditions was found on promoted HZSM-5 zeolite samples. The thermogravimetric analysis of spent samples suggested a higher degree of catalyst carbonization under supercritical conditions, as compared with that in the reaction performed in the gas phase. However, the deposition of 20–30 wt % condensation products on the catalysts had no detectable effect on the high activity of the catalysts in the reaction performed under supercritical conditions.     

Aromatization ofn-butane over Ni-ZSM-5 and Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts prepared by using Ni and Cu impregnated silica, fiber

The reaction ofn-butane aromatization was carried out over Ni-ZSM-5 and Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts prepared by using Ni and Cu impregnated silica fiber during the process of ZSM-5 zeolite synthesis. The catalysts prepared were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, nitrogen adsorption and X-ray fluorescency. The acidic properties of the catalysts were investigated by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia using a mass spectrometer equipped with a QTMD detector. The effect of catalyst pretreatment, reaction temperature, and time on stream on the reaction ofn-butane to aromatic hydrocarbons were investigated. The modification of ZSM-5 by Ni and Cu increased the selectivity to aromatic hydrocarbons. The state of Ni and Cu and their stabilization in the ZSM-5 structure was highly influenced by the mode of catalyst pretreatments.     

Copolymerization of propylene with 1,3‐butadiene using isospecific zirconocene catalysts

Poly(propylene‐ran‐1,3‐butadiene) was synthesized using isospecific zirconocene catalysts and converted to telechelic isotactic polypropylene by metathesis degradation with ethylene. The copolymers obtained with isospecific C₂‐symmetric zirconocene catalysts activated with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) had 1,4‐inserted butadiene units ( 1,4‐BD ) and 1,2‐inserted units ( 1,2‐BD ) in the isotactic polypropylene chain. The selectivity of butadiene towards 1,4‐BD incorporation was high up to 95% using rac‐dimethylsilylbis(1‐indenyl)zirconium dichloride (Cat‐A)/MMAO. The molar ratio of propylene to butadiene in the feed regulated the number‐average molecular weight (M_n) and the butadiene contents of the polymer produced. Metathesis degradations of the copolymer with ethylene were conducted with a WCI₆/SnMe₄/propyl acetate catalyst system. The ¹H NMR spectra before and after the degradation indicated that the polymers degraded by ethylene had vinyl groups at both chain ends in high selectivity. The analysis of the chain scission products clarified the chain end structures of the poly(propylene‐ran‐1,3‐butadiene). © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Homo- and copolymerization of butadiene and styrene with neodymium tricarboxylate catalysts

Homo- and copolymerizations of butadiene (BD) and styrene (St) with rare-earth metal catalysts, including the most active neodymium (Nd)-based catalysts, have been examined, and the cis-1,4 polymerization mechanism was investigated by the diad analysis of copolymers. Polymerization activity of BD was markedly affected not only by the ligands of the catalysts but also by the central rare-earth metals, whereas that of St was mainly affected by the ligands. In the series of Nd-based catalysts [Nd(OCOR)₃:R = CF₃, CCl₃, CHCl₂, CH₂Cl, CH₃], Nd(OCOCCl₃)₃ gave a maximum polymerization activity of BD, which decreased with increasing or decreasing the pKa value of the ligands. This tendency was different from that for Gd(OCOR)₃ catalysts, where the CF₃ derivative led to the highest polymerization activity of BD. For the polymerization of St and its copolymerization with BD, the maximum activities were attained at R = CCl₃ for both Nd- and Gd-based catalysts. The copolymerization of BD and St with Nd(OCOCCl₃)₃ catalyst was also carried out at various monomer feed ratios, to evaluate the monomer reactivity ratios as r_BD = 5.66 and r_St = 0.86. The cis-1,4 content in BD unit decreased with increasing St content in copolymers. From the diad analysis of copolymers, it was indicated that Nd(OCOCCl₃)₃ catalyst controls the cis-1,4 structure of the BD unit by a back-biting coordination of the penultimate BD unit. Furthermore, the long range coordination of polymer chain by the neodymium catalyst was suggested to assist the cis-1,4 polymerization. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effect of tellurium promoter on vanadium phosphate catalyst for partial oxidation of n-butane

Te-promoted (1%) vanadium phosphate catalyst (VPDTe) was prepared via VOPO4·2H2O by calcining its precursor VOHPO4·0.5H2O in a flow of n-butane/air.VPDTe catalyst has resulted a higher existence of V5+ phase with V5+/V4+ ratio of 0.23.SEM micrographs show that Te addition altered the arrangement of the platelets from "rose-like" clusters to layer with irregular shape.Te addition has also markedly lowered the reduction activation energies of the vanadium phosphate catalyst as revealed by TPR profile.The amount of active oxygen species associated with V4+ phase of the Te promoted catalyst was significantly higher than those of the unpromoted catalyst.These observations suggest that high mobility and availability of reactive oxygen species contributed to the enhancement of n-butane conversion up to 80% at 673 K,while only 47% over unpromoted catalyst (2400 h-1,1.7% n-butane in air).     

Selective hydroisomerization of n-dodecane over platinum supported on zeolites

In this study, in order to develop catalysts for the selective isomerization of higher paraffin, the hydroisomerization reaction of n-dodecane was performed as a model reaction. Pt/ZSM-48, Pt/HZSM-5, Pt/HY, and Pt/SAPO-11 were examined for the selective hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. The catalysts were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction, N₂ adsorption, and the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia. Among the catalysts studied, the Pt/HZSM-48 catalyst exhibited the best isomerization selectivity in the hydroisomerization reaction of n-dodecane, which is attributed to the moderate acid sites and medium-sized pores present in the HZSM-48. The highest iso-dodecane yield was obtained at a reaction temperature of 280 °C in the Pt/HZSM-48 catalyst. The optimal selectivity of the n-dodecane hydroisomerization over the Pt/SAPO-11 catalyst was obtained at approximately 300 °C, which was slightly higher than that of the Pt/HZSM-48 catalyst.     

Isomerization ofn-butane on the SO4/ZrO2 catalyst promoted by IV Period metals

The catalytic activity of superacidic systems based on SO₄/ZrO₂ and modified by IV Period metals in isomerization ofn-butane was studied. At low temperatures of the reaction, the introduction of Fe³⁺, Sc³⁺, Co²⁺, or Zn²⁺ ions (1%) increases the yield of isobutane by 1.5 times due to the activation ofn-butane on the sites created by the promoting ions. The addition of Cr³⁺, V⁴⁺, or Mn²⁺ (1%) decreases the catalytic activity because of a decrease in the catalyst acidity, most likely, due to the reduction of surface sulfur species. The influence of the nature of the support and surface additives of SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ on the activity and selectivity of the catalytic system inn-butane isomerization was studied.

Effect of direct ultrasound synthesis via a sesquihydrate route on bismuth-promoted vanadyl pyrophosphate catalysts

A series of 1, 3, and 5% Bi-doped vanadium phosphate catalyst catalysts were prepared via sesquihydrate route using direct ultrasound method and were denoted as VPSB1, VPSB3, and VPSB5, respectively. These catalysts were synthesized solely using a direct ultrasound technique and calcined in a n-butane/air mixture. This study showed that catalyst synthesis time can be drastically reduced to only 2 hr compared to conventional 32–48 hr. All Bi-doped catalysts exhibited a well-crystallized (VO)₂P₂O₇ phase. In addition, two V⁵⁺ phases, that is, β-VOPO₄ and α_II-VOPO₄, were observed leading to an increase in the average oxidation state of vanadium. All catalysts showed V2p_3/2 at approx. 517 eV, giving the vanadium oxidation state at approx. 4.3–4.6. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed the secondary structure consisting of thin and small plate-like crystal clusters due to the cavitation effect of ultrasound waves. VPSB5 showed the highest amount of oxygen species removed associated with the V⁵⁺ and V⁴⁺ species in temperature-programmed reduction in H₂ analyses. TheX-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurement showed the occurrence of vanadium oxide reductions in hydrogen gas flow, indicating the presence of V⁴⁺ and V⁵⁺ species. Higher average valence states of V⁵⁺, indicating more V⁵⁺ phases, were present. The addition of bismuth has increased the activity and selectivity to maleic anhydride.     

Catalytic Properties of the Thermal Decomposition Products of Zr(SO4)2 · 4H2O

The catalytic activity of the thermal decomposition products of Zr(SO₄)₂ · 4H₂O in the reactions of 1-butene isomerization to 2-butenes, isobutanol dehydration, and n-butane skeletal isomerization was studied. Their behaviors in typical acid reactions and in skeletal isomerization were found to be considerably different. In the first two reactions, which occur with the participation of proton sites, the activity of zirconium sulfates was an extremal function of hydrate calcination temperature. Zirconium sulfate calcined at 400–550°C was the most active catalyst. The reasons for such behavior are discussed. In the skeletal isomerization of n-butane, crystalline zirconium sulfate was practically inactive, and it became active only after degradation. The results suggest that the activation of n-butane molecules did not occur at proton sites.     

Transformation of n-hexane on Al2O3and SiO2supported Pt, Pt+Ga and Ir+Pt+Ga catalysts prepared by anchoring methods

Summary Transformation of n-hexane over Al₂O₃and SiO₂supported Pt, Pt+Ga and Ir+Pt+Ga catalysts was studied in a continuous-flow reactor operated under slug-pulse mode at 520°C. Bimetallic catalysts were prepared by introducing first Ga(OEt)₃and then diallylplatinum as precursor compounds. Iridium was then introduced viadecomposition of Ir₄(CO)₁₂adsorbed onto Pt+Ga catalysts. The addition of Ga to Pt/SiO₂catalyst decreased hydrogenation, aromatization and hydrogenolysis selectivity. Over Pt/Al₂O₃catalyst Ga increased hydrogenolysis selectivity and decreased isomerization and C₅-cyclization. The main effect of Ir was to increase hydrogenolysis selectivity and the stability of catalysts.</o:p>     

Shape selective oxidation by a microporous platinum-polyoxometalate

Shape selective catalytic behaviour of a platinum-promoted polyoxometalate, 0.5 wt% Pt−Cs_2.1H_{0 9}PW₁₂O₄₀, has been studied for complete oxidation of methane and benzene. The pore size of this catalyst determined by adsorptions of n-butane and isobutane was close to the molecular size of n-butane (0.43 nm). Ar and N₂ porosimetries demonstrated that 0.5 wt% Pt−Cs_{2 1}H_{0 9}PW₁₂O₄₀ possesses unimodal distribution of pores in ultramicropore region. External surface area was estimated to be less than 3% that of the total surface area (61 m² g⁻¹) of the catalyst. Owing to the restricted pores, this exhibited efficient shape selectivity; methane (molecular size; 0.38 nm) was readily oxidized, while the oxidations of the larger molecule such as benzene (0.59 nm) were greatly suppressed. These results indicate that 0.5 wt% Pt−Cs_{2 1}H_{0 9}PW₁₂O₄₀ is a promising microporous catalyst.

Incorporated Ternary Monolithic Catalysts for Nitric Oxide Removal

Mathematical modeling of the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane into butadiene in a dual-reactor system with separate reactants feeding has been performed. The factors affecting the butadiene selectivity enhancement have been studied. It has been shown that it is possible to regulate the state of a catalyst in the reaction zone by varying the rate of catalyst circulation between the reactors.
