Non-oxidative dehydro-oligomerization of methane to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons at low temperatures

The non-oxidative dehydro-oligomerization of methane to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons such as aroma tics and C2 hydrocarbons in a low temperature range of 773-973 K with Mo/HZSM-5,Mo-Zr/HZSM-5 and Mo-W/HZSM-5 catalysts is studied.The means for enhancing the activity and stability of the Mo-containing catalysts under the reaction conditions is reported.Quite a stable methane conversion rate of over 10% with a high selectivity to the higher hydrocarbons has been obtained at a temperature of 973 K.Pure methane conversions of about 5.2% and 2.0% have been obtained at 923 and 873 K,respectively.In addition,accompanied by the C2-C3 mixture,tht- methane reaction can be initiated even at a lower temperature and the conversion rate of methane is enhanced by the presence of tne initiator of C2-C3 hydrocarbons.Compared with methane oxidative coupling to ethylene,the novel way for methane transformation is significant and reasonable for its lower reaction temperatures and high selectivity to the desired prod     

Effect of Transition Metals on Selective Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde over Pt／ZrO2 Catalysts

The effect of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over Pt/ZrO2 catalysts was studied in ethanol at 343K under 2.0MPa H2 pressure. PtCo/ZrO2 and PtFe/ZrO2 catalysts exhibit high selectivity and activity of hydrogenation for C=O (93.8% at 87.3% conversion and 83.6% at 88.6% conversion, respectively), and PtNi/ZrO2 exhibits high selectivity of hydrogenation for C=C (64.3% at 70.6% conversion). In the presence of trace H2O and NaOH, over the PtNi/ZrO2 (0.4wt%Ni) catalyst the selectivity to hydrocinnamalde hydereaches 90.6% and the conversion of cinnamaldehyde is 90.5%.     

Ni基催化剂上的乙烷部分氧化制合成气

There is abundant supply of light alkanes and relatively few routes of converting them to more valuable products. Although CH4 predominates in natural gas, it also contains C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10 (from 5 % to 30% ), and with C2H6 as the most abundant secondary component[1]. Partial oxidation of methane to syngas (CH4 +0.5O2 →CO + 2H2) over nickel-based catalysts has received intensive attention[2]and much research has been devoted to conversion of ethane to ethylene[3]. Ethylene has been shown to be formed from ethane by thermal dehydrogenation (C2H6 →C2H4 + H2) and oxidative dehydrogenation (C2H6 + 0. 5O2 →C2H4 + H2O). These processes are operated under severely fuel-rich conditions. The carbon-deposition and consequent deactivation of the catalysts are major problems, which leads to poor conversion of the above mentioned reactions. As an alternative strategy for the elaboration of ethane, little work on the partial oxidation of ethane (POE) to syngas over nickel-based catalysts has been reported. Provided it could be produced from C2H6with high selectivity and high conversion over nickel-based catalysts, syngas could be directly obtained from natural gas including CH4 and C2H6 with high selectivity and conversion. This may lead to better utilization of the light fractions from natural gas and refineries. In the present paper, POE to syngas over nickel-based catalysts was investigated.     

Effect of Ni Loading and Reaction Conditions on Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas

The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas is studied in this paper over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts under atmospheric pressure. The effects of Ni loading on the activity and stability of catalysts with 5 mm α-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3 pellets as supports were measured in a continuous fixed bed reactor. It is found that the optimum Ni loading is 10%. And the effect of reaction conditions on partial oxidation of methane is also studied. The methane conversion and CO selectivity increase with the increase of the reaction temperature and the space velocity on 10%Ni/α-Al2O3 catalysts. The best CH4/O2 mole ratio is 2 for CO selectivity, and the optimum space velocity is 5.4x105 h-1.     

Performance of HZSM-5 as Catalyst for Alkylation of Methyl naphthalene with Methanol in Supercritical Phase

The alkylation of methylnaphthalene（MN） with methanol in the presence of HZSM-5 is a promising route for producing 2,6-dimetylnaphthalene（2,6-DMN） with a high selectivity. However, the conversion of MN is very low and the catalyst will be deactivated rapidly with increasing time on stream. In this study, the effects of the reaction pressure on the reactivity, selectivity and life of the catalyst of alkylation of MN over HZSM-5 modified by BaO were investigated. It was observed that with the enhancement of pressure, the conversion of MN increased, but the selectivity of 2,6-DMN kept unchanged, which was about 40% -42%. When the alkylation was carried out under a supercritical condition, the conversion of MN was 3-6 times higher and the life of catalyst was 25-30 times longer than those at an ambient pressure. The thermogravimetric analyses of the deactivated catalysts at different reaction pressures indicate that the amount of coke deposited on the catalysts was about 10% to 12 %, and the coke-burning reactions mainly took place in a temperature range from 720 to 860 K, and the apparent activation energies of the coke-burning catalysts at 0. 1 MPa（ 10 h） and 7. 6 MPa（ 108 h） were, respectively, 65.90 and 84. 72 kJ/mol. It is concluded from tile results that the supercritical condition is advantageous to enhancing the conversion of alkylation and extraction in situ, and to transporting those high molecular-weight poly-aromatic compounds so as to extend the catalyst life successively.     

The relationship of morphology and catalytic performance of CeO_2 catalysts for reducing nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene under the base-free condition

CeO_2 morphology was proposed to be a crucial factor for reducing nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene under the base-free condition.Herein,the structure-activity relationship of CeO_2 catalysts was explored to improve the azoxybenzene yield.A series of CeO_2 catalysts we re synthesized with seven morphologies to obtain different Ce~(3+) proportion and various surface areas.Notably,the catalytic performance of these samples for reducing nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene enhanced with the increasing Ce~(3+) proportio n.With the highest surface Ce~(3+)proportion,the Rod-CeO_2 catalyst exhibited 100% conversion of nitrobenzene and 89.8% azoxybenzene selectivity in 7 h at 150℃ under 1 MPa CO.Moreover,the preliminary mechanistic analysis indicated that the inhabitation of azoxybenzene to by-product azobenzene resulted in the high selectivity of azoxybenzene.     

CO removal by two-stage methanation for polymer electrolyte fuel cell

In order to remove CO to achieve lower CO content of below 10 ppm in the CO removal step of reformer for polymer electrolyte fuel cell （PEFC） co-generation systems, CO preferential methanation under various conditions were studied in this paper. Results showed that, with a single kind of catalyst, it was difficult to reach both CO removal depth and CO2 conversion ratio of below 5%. Thus, a two-stage methanation process applying two kinds of catalysts is proposed in this study, that is, one kind of catalyst with relatively low activity and high selectivity for the first stage at higher temperature, and another kind of catalyst with relatively high activity and high selectivity for the second stage at lower temperature. Experimental results showed that at the first stage CO content was decreased from 1% to below 0.1% at 250-300 ℃, and at the second stage to below 10 ppm at 150-185 ℃. CO2 conversion was kept less than 5%, At the same time, influence of inlet CO content and GHSV on CO removal depth was also discussed in this paper.     

Optimization of methane conversion to liquid fuels over W-Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts by response surface methodology

The conversion of methane to liquid fuels is still in the development process. The modified HZSM-5 by loading with Tungsten （W） enhanced its heat resistant performance, and the high reaction temperature （800℃） did not lead to the loss of W component by sublimation. The loading of ZSM-5 with Tungsten and Copper （Cu） resulted in an increment in the methane conversion, CO2, and C5＋ selectivities. The high methane conversion and C5＋ selectivity, and low H2O selectivity are obtained by using W/3.0Cu/ZSM-5. The optimization of methane conversion over 3.0 W/3.0Cu/ZSM-5 under different temperature and oxygen concentration using response surface methodology （RSM） are studied. The optimum point for methane conversion is 19% when temperature is 753 ℃, and oxygen concentration is 12%. The highest C5＋ selectivity is 27% when temperature is 751 ℃. and oxwen concentration is 11%.     

Theoretical and Experimental Study on Reaction Coupling： Dehydrogenation of Ethylbenzene in the Presence of Carbon Dioxide

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene (EB) to styrene (ST) in the presence of CO2, in which EB dehydrogenation is coupled with the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS), was investigated extensively through both theoretical analysis and experimental characterization. The reaction coupling proved to be superior to the single dehydrogenation in several respects. Thermodynamic analysis suggests that equilibrium conversion of EB can be improved greatly by reaction coupling due to the simultaneous elimination of the hydrogen produced from dehydrogenation. Catalytic tests proved that iron and vanadium supported on activated carbon or Al2O3 with certain promoters are potential catalysts for this coupling process. The catalysts of iron and vanadium are different in the reaction mechanism, although ST yield is always associated with CO2 conversion over various catalysts. The two-step pathway plays an important role in the coupling process over Fe/Al2O3, while the one-step pathway dominates the reaction over V/Al2O3. Coke deposition and deep reduction of active components are the major causes of catalyst deactivation. CO2 can alleviate the catalyst deactivation effectively through preserving the active species at high valence in the coupling process, though it can not suppress the coke deposition.     

Direct gas-phase epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using air as oxidant on supported gold catalyst

Gold catalysts supported on SiO2, TiO2, TiO2-SiO2, and ZrO2-SiO2 supports were prepared by impregnating each support with a basic solution of tetrachloroauric acid. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） techniques were used to characterize their structure and surface composition. The results indicated that the size of gold particles could be controlled to below 10 nm by this method of preparation. Washing gold catalysts with water could markedly enhance the dispersion of metallic gold particles on the surface, but it could not completely remove the chloride ions left on the surface. The catalytic performance of direct vapor-phase epoxidation of propylene using air as an oxidant over these catalysts was evaluated at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity to propylene oxide （PO） was found to vary with reaction time on the stream. At the reaction conditions of atmosphere pressure, temperature 325 ℃, feed gas ratio V（C3H6）/V（O2）= 1/2, and GHSV =6000h^-1, 17.9% PO selectivity with 0.9% propylene conversion were obtained at initial 10 min for Au/SiO2 catalyst. After reacting 60 min only 8.9% PO selectivity were detected, but the propylene conversion rises to 1.4% and the main product is transferred to acrolein （72% selectivity）. Washing Au/TiO2-SiO2 and Aa/ZrO2-SiO2 samples with magnesium citrate solution could markedly enhance the activity and PO selectivity because smaller gold particles were obtained.

Pretreatment of Alumina and Its Influence on the Properties of Co/Alumina Catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

16.6%Co/γ-Al_2O_3 catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method were used for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.The support was pre-treated with different concentration of NH_4NO_3 aqueous solution.The effect of support pre-treatment on the properties of support and performance of supported- cobalt-based catalysts was investigated.To treat the support with NH_4NO_3 aqueous solution enlarged the pore ofγ-Al_2O_3,decreased the impurity Na_2O content,and weakened the surface acidity ofγ-Al_2O_3. The change in the properties of the support decreased the interaction between cobalt species and support, enhanced the CO hydrogenation rate and the C_(5 )selectivity.For all catalysts,increasing the reaction temperature increased the CO hydrogenation rate or the CO conversion,slightly decreased the total hydrocarbon selectivity,and favored the formation of methane and light hydrocarbons,while the chain growth probability decreased.For 16.6%Co/γ-Al_2O3 catalysts,prepared with the support treated with 100 g/L NH_4NO3 aqueous solution,the CO conversion,the CH_4 selectivity,and the C_(5 )selectivity were 83.13%,6.86% and 82.75% respectively,and the chain growth probability was 0.83 under the condition of 493 K,1.5 MPa,500 h~(-1)and the molar ratio of H_2 to CO being 2.0 in feed.
