串联双釜连续反应装置中Ru-Co-B/ZrO2上苯选择加氢制环己烯

采用化学还原法制备了苯选择加氢制环己烯催化剂Ru-B/ZrO₂,考察了Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu和Zn等过渡金属的添加对Ru-B/ZrO₂催化剂性能的影响.结果表明,这些过渡金属的添加均可提高Ru-B/ZrO₂催化剂中的B含量.B的修饰及第二种金属或金属氧化物的集团效应和配位效应导致Ru-B/ZrO₂催化剂活性降低和环己烯选择性升高.当Co/Ru原子比为0.06时,Ru-Co-B/ZrO₂催化剂上反应25min苯转化率为75.8%时,环己烯选择性和收率分别为82.8%和62.8%.在双釜串联连续反应器中和优化反应条件下,Ru-Co-B/ZrO₂催化剂使用419h内苯转化率稳定在40%左右,环己烯选择性和收率分别稳定在73%和30%左右.     

Effects of type of contact between Co/SiO2 and Pd/b on the direct synthesis of isoparaffins from synthesis gas

The effect of addition of Pd/b on the Co/SiO₂ catalyst was studied for F-T reaction. Pd/b could enhance the formation of C₄-C₉ isoparaffins while the Co/SiO₂ catalyst alone gave the products with wide carbon numbers distribution. The reason is the olefins and long-chain normal paraffins from F-T reaction on Co/SiO₂ catalyst form light hydrocarbons containing isoparaffins through the hydrocracking and hydroisomerization on Pd/b. For Co/SiO₂+Pd/b catalyst, the selectivity to isoparaffins depends on the contact conditions. The granular hybrid catalyst is much more selective for isomerization than the powder hybrid catalyst, while the selectivity to CH₄, n-paraffins and olefins is lower than that on the powder hybrid catalyst.

Development of high performance Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis and the water-gas shift reaction

Our groups studies on Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis via hydrogenation of CO₂ and for the water-gas shift reaction are reviewed. Effects of ZnO contained in supported Cu-based catalysts on their activities for several reactions were investigated. The addition of ZnO to Cu-based catalyst supported on Al₂O₃, ZrO₂ or SiO₂ improved its specific activity for methanol synthesis and the reverse water-gas shift reaction, but did not improve its specific activity for methanol steam reforming and the water-gas shift reaction. Methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂ over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts was extensively studied under a joint research project between National Institute for Resources and Environment (NIRE; one of the former research institutes reorganized to AIST) and Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). It was suggested that methanol should be produced via the hydrogenation of CO₂, but not via the hydrogenation of CO, and that H₂O produced along with methanol should greatly suppress methanol synthesis. The Cu/ZnO-based multicomponent catalysts such as Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ and Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃/Ga₂O₃ were highly active for methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂. The addition of a small amount of colloidal silica to the multicomponent catalysts greatly improved their long-term stability during methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂. The purity of the crude methanol produced in a bench plant was 99.9 wt% and higher than that of the crude methanol from a commercial methanol synthesis from syngas. The water-gas shift reaction over Cu/ZnO-based catalysts was also studied. The activity of Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst for the water-gas shift reaction at 523 K was less affected by the pre-treatments such as calcination and treatment in H₂ at high temperatures than that of the Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Accordingly, the Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst was considered to be more suitable for practical use for the water-gas shift reaction. The Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ catalyst was also highly active for the water-gas shift reaction at 673 K. Furthermore, a two-stage reaction system composed of the first reaction zone for the water-gas shift reaction at 673 K and the second reaction zone for the reaction at 523 K was found to be more efficient than a one-stage reaction system. The addition of a small amount of colloidal silica to a Cu/ZnO-based catalyst greatly improved its long-term stability in the water-gas shift reaction in a similar manner as in methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂.     

Effect of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) on selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over Pt/CNTs catalyst

Summary The effect of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) on the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CMA) to the corresponding semi-hydrogenated product over Pt/CNTs catalyst has been studied in ethanol at 343 K under 2.0 MPa H₂ pressure. PtNi/CNTs catalyst shows good catalytic activity and selectivity of C=C bond hydrogenation, 68.4% for conversion of CMA and 97.0% for selectivity of hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCMA). PtCo/CNTs catalyst shows good catalytic activity and selectivity of C=O bond hydrogenation, 91.3% for conversion of CMA and 88.2% for selectivity of cinnamylalcohol (CMO).     

F-T组分改性KCuZrO2催化剂上CO加氢合成异丁醇的性能研究

采用共沉淀法分别制备了不同F-T组分(Fe、Co、Ni)改性的KCuZrO_2催化剂,并用于催化CO加氢合成异丁醇。通过BET、XRD、TEM、XPS、H_2-TPR、CO-TPD以及in-situ DRIFTS对催化剂进行了表征。结果显示,F-T组分的加入促进了乙醇和丙醇的形成,但是对异丁醇选择性影响不同。结果表明,Fe促进了催化剂中各组分的分散,活性组分Cu在催化剂表面发生了富集,提高了H_2/CO活化吸附;另外,KFeCuZrO_2的催化剂表面含有较多的C1物种,有利于乙醇和丙醇进一步发生β-加成反应得到异丁醇,而Co和Ni改性的催化剂上缺少足够的C1物种,因此,异丁醇的选择性并未明显增加。Co的引入对催化剂结构以及Cu的分散影响不大,但是Co改性后催化剂性能有所下降,其原因是催化剂发生了失活; Ni添加后催化剂比表面积有所减小,且催化剂表面Cu/Zr物质的量比也降低到0. 19,催化剂粒径增大,Cu-Zr之间相互作用减弱,异丁醇选择性降低。     

Highly selective synthesis of 3-methylindole from glycerol and aniline over Cu/NaY modified by K2O

The vapor-phase synthesis of 3-methylindole from glycerol and aniline over Cu/NaY modified by K2O was investigated. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and the temperature- programmed desorption of ammonia （NH3-TPD）. The effect of the reaction temperature on the activity and selectivity of Cu]NaY-K2O catalyst was also investigated. The results indicated that the addition of K2O to Cu/NaY increased the selectivity of the catalyst remarkably because the amount of middle-strong acid sites decreased clearly. The decrease of the reaction temperature was beneficial for the increase of 3- methylindole selectivity. Over Cu/NaY-K2O, the selectivity of 3-methylindole reached 75% and the yield of the target product was up to 47% at 220 ℃. A probable catalytic mechanism for the synthesis of 3- methylindole from glycerol and aniline was proposed.

Influence of alloying platinum for the hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzene over PtM/ZrO2 catalysts with M=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu

Hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzene (CNB) over PtM/ZrO₂ (M= Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) catalysts has been studied in ethanol at 303 K and normal pressure. The results show that the hydrogenetion of CNB can be carried out over PtM/ZrO₂ catalysts. The order of the hydrogenation rates of CNB is p>m>o, and the yield of chloroaniline (CAN) is p>o>m. PtFe/ZrO₂ catalysts shows the highest catalytic activity on the hydrogenation of CNB. PtNi/ZrO₂ catalyst shows good yield of CNB to CAN, and 93.3 mol% for o-CAN, 98.0 mol% for m-CAN and 98.5 mol% for p-CAN, respectively. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effect of ceria loading on the carbon formation during low temperature methane steam reforming over a Ni/CeO2/ZrO2 catalyst

The characterization and catalytic activity of a Ni/CeO₂/ZrO₂ catalyst for methane steam reforming at 600°C were investigated. The addition of ceria increased the surface area and basicity of the catalysts. The redox reaction capability of the ceria increased the hydrogen yield and carbon monoxide selectivity, and inhibited carbon formation.     

Al含量对Pt-SO2-4 /ZrO2-Al2O3固体超强酸催化

通过向SO^2-₄ /ZrO₂催化剂中同时引入适量的Pt和Al₂O₃, 制备出了具有较高催化性能和稳定性的Pt-SO^2-₄ /ZrO₂-Al₂O₃型固体超强酸催化剂. 以正戊烷异构化反应为探针, 考察了Al含量对催化剂性能的影响; 并采用X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面积测定(BET)、红外(IR)光谱、程序升温还原(TPR)、热重-差热分析(TG-DTA)和氨-程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)手段对催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明, Al能够提高ZrO₂的晶化温度, 抑制硫的分解, 增加催化剂的比表面积, 增强硫氧键的结合, 提高催化剂的还原性能, 增加催化剂的酸强度和酸总量. 当Al₂O₃含量(质量分数, w)为5.0%时, Pt-SO^2-₄ /ZrO₂-Al₂O₃固体超强酸催化剂的催化活性最好, 在100 h内异戊烷收率可稳定在52.0%以上, 选择性在98.2%以上.     

Thermokinetic study of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis on Fe2Cu1 and FeCu surfaces with comparison to Fe(110) and Cu(111) catalysts by the UBI-QEP method

The purpose of this study is to predict the activation barriers and enthalpy for elementary steps in the process of Fischer–Tropsch (F-T) on the surfaces of Fe(110), Cu(111) and Fe/Cu alloys catalyst using “Unity Bond Index-Quadratic Exponential Potential” method aimed at predicting the activity and selectivity on the basis of energy criteria. The elementary steps, such as dissociation of CO, hydrogenation of carbidic carbon, C–C chain growth by insertion of CH₂ versus CO into the metal-alkyl bonds, and chain termination, which lead to hydrocarbons (alkanes versus α-olefins) or oxygenates are discussed in detail. The results show that metallic Fe(110) is necessary to produce the carbidic carbon from CO dissociation, but the synthesis of hydrocarbons and oxygenates can effectively proceed on Cu(111) surface. For optimum performance of F-T synthesis catalyst, these conflicting properties must be optimized. In this regard, we studied Fe/Cu alloy catalyst. On all the catalyst surfaces, the energetically preferred path to initiate the alkyl chain growth is via insertion of a CH_2,s group into the carbon–metal bond of a CH_3,s group. On FeCu catalyst surface, the activation barrier for termination of alkyl chain growth by β-elimination of hydrogen is found to be lower than that for α-addition of hydrogen and consequently for this catalyst, olefins are expected to form more readily than paraffins. The results of the model for a single metal surface are in agreement with the experimental data.     

碱土金属氧化物改性ZrO2催化1,4-丁二醇选择性脱水合成3-丁烯-1-醇

采用浸渍法制备了碱土金属氧化物CaO,SrO或BaO改性的ZrO₂酸碱双功能催化剂,借助X射线衍射、低温N₂物理吸附、NH₃和CO₂程序升温脱附等手段表征了催化剂的结构、织构以及表面酸碱性质,并考察了其催化1,4-丁二醇选择性脱水合成3-丁烯-1-醇的反应性能.结果表明,碱土金属氧化物的引入显著调变了催化剂表面的酸性和碱性中心,进而对1,4-丁二醇转化率和3-丁烯-1-醇选择性产生重要影响.其中,CaO改性的ZrO₂样品中形成了大量的Ca-O-Zr结构,在ZrO₂表面形成大量碱性位点的同时,保持了较高的酸密度;而SrO和BaO改性的样品中生成了相应的锆酸盐,ZrO₂表面的酸密度呈现不同程度的下降.因此,CaO/ZrO₂催化剂表现出最优的催化活性和3-丁烯-1-醇选择性,350℃时,3-丁烯-1-醇收率最高,达60.5%.催化剂表面的酸碱协同作用是选择性合成3-丁烯-1-醇的关键因素.

In situ infrared study of formate reactivity on water–gas shift and methanol synthesis catalysts

In order to investigate the methanol synthesis reaction from CO₂/H₂, a comparative study of the reactivity of formate species on different types of catalysts and catalyst supports has been carried out. Formic acid was adsorbed on water–gas shift catalysts, Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ methanol synthesis catalyst and ZnO/Al₂O₃ support, Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ and Cu/ZnO/CeO₂ methanol synthesis catalysts as well as their corresponding supports ZnO/ZrO₂ and ZnO/CeO₂. Superior reactivity and selectivity of dedicated methanol synthesis catalysts was evidenced by their behavior during the subsequent heating ramp, when these samples showed the simultaneous presence of formates and methoxy species and a higher stability of these reaction intermediates in the usual temperature range for the methanol synthesis reaction.     

Cu、K助剂对FeMn/SiO2催化费托合成的影响

研究了Cu、K助剂对共沉淀型FeMn/SiO2催化剂还原行为、吸附行为及费托(F-T)合成活性和选择性的影响. Cu助剂以与Fe、Mn、SiO2共沉淀的方式引入, 而K助剂是在喷雾干燥前均匀加入沉淀浆料引入的. 结果表明, Cu可明显提高催化剂的还原性能, K助剂能促进催化剂在CO中的还原但抑制在H2中的还原, 而同时加入Cu和K会进一步促进催化剂在H2或CO中的还原; Cu助剂能促进H2吸附而K助剂对H2吸附无明显影响; Cu在一定程度上提高了F-T合成活性, 缩短了反应诱导期, K明显促进了CO的转化而相对抑制了H2的转化, 并且延长了反应的诱导期, Cu与K协同作用不仅提高反应的转化率而且缩短了反应的诱导期; K使得烃产物平均分子量增加, Cu单独对烃产物分布影响不明显, 而与K共同作用会进一步增加烃产物的分子量.     

Oxo-Bridged Zr Dimers as Well-defined Models of Oxygen Vacancies on ZrO2

While ZrO₂ is known to have a large effect on the activity and selectivity of the Cu/ZrO₂ catalyst for methanol synthesis, its role in this process is poorly understood. Surface defects such as oxygen vacancies could play a role in the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Cu and ZrO₂. However, due to the complexity of the surfaces, the exact molecular nature of this interaction is not at present known. Here, we make well-defined models of both reduced and coordinatively unsaturated surface oxygen vacancies on ZrO₂ using the molecular precursor [Cp₂ZrCl]₂(μ²-O) ( 1 ). Complex 1 can be reduced to form a complex ( 2 ) containing one Zr(III) center and a bridging hydride ligand (according to EPR and IR spectroscopy) derived from C−H activation of either thf or the Cp ring. Complex 2 reacts with CO₂ to largely produce CO, suggesting that surface defects with similar structures probably do not play a role in the industrial catalyst. Halide abstraction from complex 1 results in the Lewis acidic species 3 , which has similar Lewis acid properties to acidic defects on the ZrO₂ surface. Similarities of both of these model species to real surface oxygen vacancies and their role in the catalytic reaction are discussed.     

稀土Sm对于Cu/Zr基合成醇催化剂的改性作用

Fast and Efficient Nitration of Salicylic Acid and Some Other Aromatic Compounds over H_3PO_4/TiO_2-ZrO_2 Using Nitric Acid

TiO₂‐ZrO₂ (1/1)‐surf with Ti and Zr molar ratio of 1/1 was prepared with surfactant through a sol‐gel method. The optimum experimental condition was investigated for nitration of salicylic acid. Then, a number of nitration reactions were carried out with a variety of aromatic compounds in the optimum condition. The 25 wt% H₃PO₄/TiO₂‐ZrO₂ (1/1)‐surf catalyst showed good selectivity and yield in a short time for the nitration of salicylic acid and some other aromatic compounds.     

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over Ru/Al2O3 catalysts

Fischer-Tropsch syntheses (FTS) were carried out in a slurry phase over Ru/Al₂O₃ catalysts using hexadecane as a solvent. The outcome of the FTS was dependent on the oxide support, calcination temperature, synthesis gas composition and sulfur content. The addition of Mn/Na to Ru/Al₂O₃ was effective in raising the initial activity and C5+ selectivity, but after 20 hours, the performance of the modified catalyst was similar to that of the unmodified catalyst. An additional investigation involving the use of fresh vs used catalysts demonstrated that an agglomeration of the metallic Ru, at least in part, does occur during the reaction.     

Preparation,Characterization, and Catalytic Behavior of Nanostructured Mesoporous CuO/ZrO2 Catalysts for Low-Temperature CO Oxidation

High-surface area mesoporous 20 mol% CuO/ZrO₂ catalyst was prepared by a surfactant-assisted method of nanocrystalline particle assembly, and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H₂-TPR, TG-DTA, and x-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) techniques. The catalytic properties of the CuO/ZrO₂ nanocatalysts calcined at different temperature were evaluated by low-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation using a CATLAB system. The results showed that these mesoporous nanostructured CuO/ZrO₂ catalysts were very active for low-temperature CO oxidation and the CuO/ZrO₂ catalyst calcined at 400°C exhibited the highest catalytic activity.
