Preparation of “pore-fill” type Pd–YSZ–γ-Al2O3 composite membrane supported on α-Al2O3 tube for hydrogen separation

Mesoporous YSZ–γ-Al₂O₃ membranes were coated on α-Al₂O₃ (Ø2 mm) tube by dipping the α-Al₂O₃ support tube into mixed sol consists of nano-size YSZ and bohemite particles followed by drying and calcination at 600 °C. Addition of bohemite in YSZ sol helped a good adhesion and uniform coating of the membrane film onto α-Al₂O₃ support. The quality of the mesoporous YSZ–γ-Al₂O₃ membranes was evaluated by the gas permeability experiments. The number of defects was minimized when the γ-Al₂O₃ content became more than 40%. Addition of γ-Al₂O₃ inhibited the crystal growth of YSZ, sintering shrinkage and distortion stress. Increase of calcination temperature and time results in the increase of pore size and N₂ permeance. A hydrogen perm-selective membrane was prepared by filling palladium into the nano-pores of YSZ–γ-Al₂O₃ layer by vacuum-assisted electroless plating. Crystal growth of palladium was observed by thermal annealing of the membrane at 600 °C for 40 h. The Pd–YSZ–γ-Al₂O₃ composite membrane revealed improved thermal stability allowing long-term operation at elevated temperature (>500 °C). This has been attributed to the improved fracture toughness of YSZ–γ-Al₂O₃ layer and matching of thermal expansion coefficient between palladium and YSZ. Although fracture of the membrane did not occur, decline of H₂ flux was observed when the membrane was exposed in 600 °C. This has been attributed to the agglomeration of palladium particles by crystal growth and dense packing into the pore networks of YSZ–γ-Al₂O₃ by elevation of temperature.     

Environment-friendly synthesis of N-phenylpiperidine from aniline and 1,5-pentanediol over γ-Al2O3 catalyst

An efficient environment-friendly synthesis of N-phenylpiperidine was developed from aniline and 1,5-pentanediol over γ-Al2O3 catalyst under atmospheric pressure. The conversion of 1,5-pentanediol reached 97% and the selectivity for N-phenylpiperidine attained 94%. The structure of the catalyst was characterized by NH3-TPD and BET. The influences of calcination temperature of the catalyst and reaction temperature on activity and selectivity of the catalyst were investigated.     

Chromium doped γ-Al2O3 powders. Features of the electrical double layer and state of the surface species

γ-Al₂O₃ samples, both pure and Cr doped, were prepared by heating at 470°C sol–gel precursors obtained by using aluminum tri-sec-butoxide [Al(OC₄H₉)₃] as the starting compound. The samples were characterised for phase composition (X-ray diffraction) and surface area (BET). Electrochemical determinations of the double layer reactivity of the pure and doped oxides were performed both by surface charge and by electrokinetic sonic amplitude (ESA) determinations. The interfacial electrostatic response is discussed and analysed also with reference to the sample surface state obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).     

La2O3对Ni/γ-Al2O3甲烷化催化剂的助催化作用

我国将稀土作为助剂引入镍基甲烷化催化剂,大大提高了催化剂的活性和热稳定性,并已投入工业应用［1－3］．稀土对不同镍催化剂反应性能及其作用机理的研究已有一些报导［3－7］．谢有畅等观察到镍负载在经单层La2O3改性的γ－Al2O3表面,其晶粒要比没有La2O3时小得多．Rotgerink等认为添加La后反应速率的增加不只是由于几何效应,而是La对甲烷化本身有促进作用,单位镍表面的活性是随La含量不同而改变的,活性增加的同时表观活化能也增加［5］．作为助剂的La2O3在氢还原和反应过程中的变化及其作用的研究和讨论较少,目前一般认为添…     

Chemoselective synthesis of δ-lactones via benzyl radical cyclization utilizing K2S2O8–CuCl2

Direct chemoselective oxidation of δ-lactones via highly stable benzyl radical cyclization is reported. The one-pot conversion of premade substituted 5-aryl pentanoic acid and 8-benzyl-1-naphthoic acid in the presence of K2S2Os--CuCl2 results to the δ-lactones in moderate to good yields. The advantages of this methodology is using water as a solvent and utilizing available starting materials.     

Macroscopic and spectroscopic characterization of selenate, selenite, and chromate adsorption at the solid–water interface of γ-Al2O3

The interaction of selenate, selenite, and chromate with the hydrated surface of γ-Al₂O₃ was studied using a combination of macroscopic pH edge data, electrophoretic mobility measurements, and X-ray absorption spectroscopic analyses. The pH edge data show generally increased oxyanion adsorption with decreasing pH, and indicate ionic strength-(in)dependent adsorption of chromate and selenate across the pH range 4–9, and ionic strength-(in)dependent adsorption of selenite in this pH range. The adsorption of chromate peaks at pH 5.0, whereas for selenate and selenite no pH adsorption maxima are observed. Electrophoretic mobility measurements show that all three oxyanions decrease the zeta potential of γ-Al₂O₃ upon adsorption; however, only selenite decreased the pH_PZC of the γ-Al₂O₃ sorbent. EXAFS data indicate that selenite ions are coordinated in a bridging bidentate fashion to surface AlO₆ octahedra, whereas no second-neighbor Al scattering was observed for adsorbed selenate ions. Combined, the results presented here show that pH is a major factor in determining the extent of adsorption of selenate, selenite, and chromate on hydrated γ-Al₂O₃. The results point to substantial differences between these anions as to the mode of adsorption at the hydrated γ-Al₂O₃ surface, with selenate adsorbing as nonprotonated outer-sphere complexes, chromate forming a mixture of monoprotonated and nonprotonated outer-sphere adsorption complexes, and selenite coordinating as inner-sphere surface complexes in bridging configuration.     

Ternary [Al2O3–electrolyte–Cu] species: EPR spectroscopy and surface complexation modeling

Cu²⁺ binding on γ-Al₂O₃ is modulated by common electrolyte ions such as Mg²⁺, , and in a complex manner: (a) At high concentrations of electrolyte ions, Cu²⁺ uptake by γ-Al₂O₃ is inhibited. This is partially due to bulk ionic strength effects and, mostly, due to direct competition between Mg²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions for the SO⁻ surface sites of γ-Al₂O₃. (b) At low concentrations of electrolyte ions, Cu²⁺ uptake by γ-Al₂O₃ can be enhanced. This is due to synergistic coadsorption of Cu²⁺ and electrolyte anions, and _. This results in the formation of ternary surface species (SOH₂SO₄Cu)⁺, (SOH₂PO₄Cu), and (SOH₂HPO₄Cu)⁺ which enhance Cu²⁺ uptake at pH < 6. The effect of phosphate ions may be particularly strong resulting in a 100% Cu uptake by the oxide surface. (c) EPR spectroscopy shows that at pH  pH_PZC, Cu²⁺ coordinates to one SO⁻ group. Phosphate anions form stronger, binary or ternary, surface species than sulfate anions. At pH  pH_PZC Cu²⁺ may coordinate to two SO⁻ groups. At pH  pH_PZC electrolyte ions and are bridging one O-atom from the γ-Al₂O₃ surface and one Cu²⁺ ion forming ternary [γ-Al₂O₃/elecrolyte/Cu²⁺] species.

Pd-Cu/γ-Al2O3催化苯乙炔选择性加氢反应

为了提高苯乙炔加氢反应中的苯乙烯选择性, 本文采用“胶体-等体积浸渍”两步法制备了Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃双金属催化剂. 利用高分辨率透射电镜(HRTEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、CO脉冲化学吸附、N2物理吸附、电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP-AES)等技术表征了Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃的结构性质, 考察了Cu/Pd 摩尔比、Pd负载量以及金属引入顺序对Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃催化苯乙炔选择性加氢性能的影响. 结果表明, 与Pd/γ-Al₂O₃单金属催化剂相比, Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃的苯乙烯选择性大幅度提高, 尤其是当Pd负载量为0.3%(w), 且Cu/Pd摩尔比为0.6时, Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃表现出优异的加氢选择性; 在0.1 MPa和40 ℃下, 当苯乙炔转化率为90%时, 双金属催化剂的苯乙烯选择性可达95%; 当转化率达到99%以上时, 苯乙烯选择性仍保持在82%左右. 分析表明, Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃中形成了Pd-Cu合金, 但是两种金属间不存在电子转移, Cu对Pd的几何效应才是导致Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃苯乙烯选择性增加的主要原因.

The Phase Relations in the System In2O3–TiO2–MgO at 1100 and 1350°C

The phase relations in the system In₂O₃–TiO₂–MgO at 1100 and 1350°C are determined by a classical quenching method. In this system, there are four pseudobinary compounds, In₂TiO₅, MgTi₂O₅ (pseudobrookite type), MgTiO₃ (ilmenite type), and Mg₂TiO₄ (spinel type) at 1100°C. At 1350°C, in addition to these compounds there exist a spinel-type solid solution Mg_2−xIn_2xTi_1−xO₄ (0≤x≤1) and a compound In₆Ti₆MgO₂₂ with lattice constants a=5.9236(7) Å, b=3.3862(4) Å, c=6.3609(7) Å, β=108.15(1)°, and q=0.369, which is isostructural with the monoclinic In₃Ti₂FeO₁₀ in the system In₂O₃–TiO₂–MgO. The relation between the lattice constants of the spinel phase and the composition nearly satisfies Vegard's law. In₆Ti₆MgO₂₂ extends a solid solution range to In₂₀Ti₁₇Mg₃O₆₇ with lattice constants of a=5.9230(5) Å, b=3.3823(3) Å, c=6.3698(6) Å, β=108.10(5)°, and q=0.360. The distributions of constituent cations in the solid solutions are discussed in terms of their ionic radius and site preference effect.     

Pt LIII-edge XANES and EXAFS studies on γ-Al2O3 supported Pt catalysts

Pt L_III-edge XANES and EXAFS were employed to investigate the nature of Pt/γ-Al₂O₃, Pt−Sn/γ-Al₂O₃ and Pt−Fe/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts. The results indicated that Pt species on these catalysts were all in the oxidized states before reduction, and in the metallic states after reduction. The dispersity of the Pt species on the catalysts was very high after reduction. The electronic properties of the highly dispersed Pt species were different from that of the bulk Pt in large crystallites. An interaction between Pt and the metal-oxide modified γ-Al₂O₃ support is proposed. The interaction improved the dispersity of the Pt species on the catalysts and is thought to be the reason for the enhanced activity and selectivity for dehydrogenation reactions over these catalysts.     

不同焙烧温度对Cu/γ-Al2O3催化剂铜物种结构的影响

用XRD和EXAFS研究了焙烧温度(35─1000 ℃)和负载量(质量分数为5－15％Cu)对于Cu/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂铜物种的影响。低于700 ℃焙烧时,铜以高分散状态存在。根据Cu~(2+)同时占据八面体(Oh)和四面体(Td)两种位置,对第一壳层的Cu-O配位峰进行了拟合。结果显示,随着焙烧温度增加,铜氧配位距离逐渐增加,Cu~(2+)(Oh)/Cu~(2+)(Td)的比例降低,并且Cu~(2+)(Oh)与氧的平均配位数从5.1变成6.0．这表明Cu~(2+)离子由Oh位向Td位迁移,同时向内层扩散使表面配位不饱和的氧缺顶畸变八面体部分变为配位饱和的对称八面体。900 ℃和更高温度的焙烧,使铜离子扩散进载体相形成CuAl_2O_4。
