Catalytic properties and phase composition of multicomponent catalysts for oxidative ammonolysis of propane

Studies of the phase composition and catalytic properties of several complex oxide catalysts for oxidative ammonolysis of propane indicate that the active phases of these catalysts are antimonates of the respective metals. Phosphorus and tungsten additives to the catalysts promote the formation of such phase compositions, i.e. the formation of antimonates and the binding of excess antimony oxide.

Relation between hydro-dehydrogenating and acid functions of zeolite catalysts and their effectiveness in aromatization of light paraffins

Summary Aromatization of light paraffins with Zn-containing catalysts based on the ZSM-5 zeolite is considered. The correlation between acidic and hydro-dehydrogenating functions of the catalysts, on one hand, and their activity and selectivity towards aromatics, on the other hand, is discussed. The modification of external acid sites is shown to influence significantly the catalytic properties of the prepared samples.     

Determination of the surface acidity of solid catalysts

A novel method has been developed for determining the surface acidity of white, as well as deeply colored porous solids. The method, which was tested on Al₂O₃, SiO₂–MgO–Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts, is based on the adsorption of pyridine or benzylamine on acidic sites and subsequent displacement of the adsorbed bases by n-butylamine. A linear correlation was found between the concentration of acidic sites on Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts and their activity in the dehydration oftert-butyl alcohol.

A study of acidity and coke deposits on NiHZSM-5 catalyst in aromatization

The acidity and coke deposits of HZSM-5 and NiHZSM-5 catalysts were studied in the aromatization using NH₃-TPD, IR and TPD techniques. The results showed that both strong acid and B acid sites decreased quickly at the initial stage of reaction for the two catalysts. The coking and reaction rates also dropped quickly at this stage. Yet it was discovered, that adding Ni into HZSM-5 led to weakening B acid sites and strengthening L acid ones. At the same time, the results revealed that metallic Ni decreases the coking rates and slows down the activity decline rates.     

Control of the properties of catalysts for methane aromatization by synthesizing ZSM-5 zeolites with different crystallite sizes

MFI zeolite materials (ZSM-5) with crystal sizes in the range from 0.10 to 1.70 μm have been synthesized. Acidic and surface properties, phase and morphological composition of the prepared zeolites have been studied by the IR sprectroscopy, nitrogen porosimetry, XRD, and scanning electron microscopy. Increasing crystal size was shown to decrease the general acidity of the zeolite. Synthesized zeolites served as supports for molybden-containing catalysts for methane aromatization prepared by using the solid phase synthesis approach. Diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopy, thermoprogrammed desoption of ammonia and ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. An increase in the crystallite size of the zeolite favors a decrease in the acidity of the catalysts and inhibits the formation of alumina molybdate during the catalyst preparation. As a result, a tendency to coke formation is suppressed and the performance of the catalysts in methane aromatization improved: methane conversion and aromatic hydrocarbon yield increase.     

Correlation between the surface acidity and activity of bismuth tungstate catalysts

The surface acid strength distribution in bismuth tungstate catalysts with Bi/W ratios of 2/3, 1/1, 2/1 and 6/1 has been investigated. The results are interpreted attributing higher acidities to W–O–W bonds and lower acidities to W=O bonds. An apparent correlation is observed between the surface acidities of the catalysts and their activities in the oxidation and ammoxidation of propylene and 1-butene.

Effect of the formation of secondary pores in zeolite ZSM-5 on the properties of molybdenum-zeolite catalysts for methane aromatization

A study is performed of 4% Mo/ZSM-5 (30) catalysts for methane aromatization prepared by solid-phase synthesis with mechanical mixing of a zeolite with MoO₃ followed by calcination at 550°C. Zeolite etched with sodium hydroxide solutions and dealuminated with aluminum nitrate solutions is used as a support. Catalytic studies of the catalysts are conducted. The effect of treating the initial zeolite on the properties of catalysts in methane aromatization is determined. The effect subsequently treating a zeolite support has on the acid sites of a catalyst is confirmed by means of temperature-programmed reduction and the temperature-programmed desorption of NH3. The formation of molybdenum ions in the +5 oxidation state during catalysis and the presence of graphitized carbon deposits on a spent catalyst’s surface are confirmed by EPR and temperature-programmed oxidation.     

Effect of bismuth species on propylene aromatization over BiHZSM-5 catalysts

The catalytic behavior of Bi-impregnated HZSM-5 zeolites in propylene aroma-tization and the surface properties of the zeoh'tes were determined by microreactor, XRD, XPS, NH3-TPD and IR-TPD. The mechanism of the reaction and the effect of surface properties of the zeolites on the reaction were also investigated. Experimental data showed that Bi-impregnation made the strength of B-acid sites decrease, the strength of L-acid sites and the concentration of both strong B-acid sites and strong L-acid sites increase. Bi-impregnation also induced sub-strong acid sites. These were the factors that made the aromatic products of the reaction increase. The strong interaction between the impregnant and zeolite surface reached maximum at Bi2O3 = 3.5 wt%. Above this value, covering effect of impregnant caused a decrease of aromatic products.

Ga、Zn改性方法对HZSM-5催化剂丙烯芳构化性能的影响

The role of the geometric factor in the selective oxidation of lower paraffins at VPO catalysts

For the most widely published oxidation of n-butane at vanadium-phosphorus catalysts it was shown that the geometric factor plays a deciding role in the formation of the selective oxidation products. The mechanism proposed for the transformation of the paraffin at the [100] plane of the vanadyl pyrophosphate, which takes account of the geometry of the molecule being oxidized, explains the observed experimental facts, i.e., the increase in the oxidation rate with increase in the effective negative charge at the oxygen atoms of the catalyst, the positive effect of the hyperstoichiometric phosphorus on the selectivity of oxidation, the increased selectivity of oxidation with the introduction of additives that form phosphates, and the difference in the characteristics and mechanism of the oxidation of a paraffin and C₄ olefins. On the basis of the proposed mechanism suggestions are made about possible paths for the transofrmation of C₂−C₆ paraffins at VPO catalysts and the factors that could affect the selectivity of these processes. A number of the suggestions were confirmed by the author's own investigations and by published investigations. L. V.

Coking kinetics and influence of reaction-regeneration on acidity,activity and deactivation of Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst during methanol aromatization

The coking kinetics and reaction-regeneration on Zn/HZSM-5(Zn/HZ) catalyst in the conversion of methanol to aromatics were investigated.The highest initial benzene, toluene and xylene(BTX) yield of ca. 67.7% was obtained on fresh Zn/HZ catalyst, which showed the worst catalytic stability. The cycle of reaction-regeneration significantly modified the texture and acidity of Zn/HZ catalyst, which in turn affected its catalytic performance and coking behavior in methanol conversion to BTX. The residual carbon located on the surface of Zn/HZ catalyst led to the decrease of acid sites and the change on the acid sites distribution, which played an important roles on its activity and deactivation. It was found that the high B/L ratio and the low total acid sites concentration of the Zn/HZ catalyst favored to the high BTX yield and good catalytic stability in methanol conversion.
