Untersuchung an Nickel-Zeolith-Trägerkatalysatoren. II. Benzolhydrierung in der Gasphase an Nickel-Zeolith-Träger-katalysatoren

NI-exchanged zeolite catalysts were studied, by means of the benzene hydrogenation at 100–150°C. Catalysts of zeolite type A proved to be more active than those of the X type. Catalytic activity (related to the amount of Ni) decreases with increasing Ni content in the catalysts. The effective energy of activation is 13.5 kcal/mole; it does not depend on the Xi content and the kind of support. It could be shown by adsorption of benzene on Ni zeolite catalysts that in case of A-type catalysts benzene is adsorbed only on the external surface. In ease of X-type catalysts, however, benzene molecules are able to reach the internal surface, too. Hydrogenation of benzene proceeds only on the external surface for both types of catalysts.     

Untersuchungen an Nickeloxid-Mischkatalysatoren. I. Strukturelle Eigenschaften von NiO/SiO2-Katalysatoren

Studies on Nickel Oxide Mixed Catalysts. I. Structural Properties of NiO/SiO₂ Catalysts Structural properties of NiO/SiO₂ catalysts prepared by precipitation-deposition and impregnation have been investigated. A nickel-layer-silicate like structure is formed only in the precipitated catalysts showed infrared spectroscopic measurements. After thermal treatment at 723 K by means of magnetic measurements and reflectance spectroscopy besides Ni²⁺ ions in octahedral environment tetrahedral coordinated Ni²⁺ions were found. The part of tetrahedral coordinated Ni²⁺ ions is independent of the NiO-content up to 40 mole % NiO. Nickel oxide is formed above a content of 40 mole %. In the case of the impregnated catalysts nickel oxide cluster are formed on the surface after annealing at 723 K.     

Ni/sepiolite hydrogenation catalysts: Part 1: Precursor–support interaction and nature of exposed metal surfaces

A 10% loaded nickel on sepiolite catalyst has been prepared by a precipitation method and the characteristics of the resultant material compared with a similarly prepared Ni/silica catalyst and a sample in which only ion exchanged nickel was present in the sepiolite. Samples have been characterised by infrared (IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, ²⁹Si MAS–NMR and X-ray diffraction in an attempt to determine the nature of the nickel species present in the precursor stage. Nickel silicate species have been identified for both supports but this precursor is more resistant to reduction for the sepiolite which leads to the formation of catalysts with lower metal areas than the silica support. The nature of the reduced nickel particles has been determined by hydrogen chemisorption, IR of adsorbed CO and temperature programmed desorption of hydrogen.     

Study of nickel nanoparticles supported on activated carbon prepared by aqueous hydrazine reduction

Nickel nanoparticles were obtained by the reduction in hydrazine aqueous media of nickel acetate as a precursor supported on activated carbon of high surface area. Classical catalysts using nickel acetate or nitrate were prepared for comparison. The catalysts were characterized by N(2) physisorption, H(2)-TPR, H(2)-adsorption, TPD, TEM, and XRD, and tested in the gas phase hydrogenation of benzene. Hydrazine catalysts were found much more active in benzene hydrogenation than corresponding classically prepared catalysts. Remarkably, their reactivity is comparable (turn-over frequency of 0.2001-0.2539 s(-1) at 393 K) to that of Pt classical catalysts supported on activated carbon in the same conditions. Evidence is given for the existence of the hydrogen spillover effect in benzene hydrogenation, not reported before in the literature. As a result of the hydrogen spillover effect, catalysts performances can be explained by a combination of surface metal atom reactivity, metal-support interaction strength, and specific surface area extent. Maximum effect is observed with hydrazine preparation method, for 1% Ni content and nickel acetate as a precursor. Unexpectedly, it was also found that hydrazine preparation increases the specific area of the catalysts.

Support Modification of Supported Nickel Catalysts for Hydrogen Production by Auto-thermal Reforming of Ethanol

Recent progress on support modification of supported nickel catalysts for hydrogen production by auto-thermal reforming of ethanol was reported in this review. Nickel catalysts supported on various materials, including metal oxides and metal oxide-stabilized mesoporous zirconias, were prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method for use in hydrogen production by auto-thermal reforming of ethanol. Various experimental measurements such as NH₃-TPD (temperature-programmed desorption) and TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) were carried out to elucidate the different catalytic performance of supported nickel catalysts. It was revealed that acid property of supporting materials served as one of the important factors determining the catalytic performance. Hydrogen yield over nickel catalysts supported on metal oxides showed a volcano-shaped curve with respect to acidity of the supports. Among the catalysts tested, Ni/ZrO₂ catalyst with an intermediate acidity exhibited a superior catalytic performance. It was also observed that reducibility of nickel catalysts supported on metal oxide-stabilized mesoporous zirconias played a key role in determining the catalytic performance in the auto-thermal reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production. Hydrogen yield over nickel catalysts supported on metal oxide-stabilized zirconias increased with increasing reducibility of the catalysts (with decreasing TPR peak temperature of the catalysts).     

Untersuchungen an Metallkatalysatoren. XXVIII [1]. Zur Aktivität und Selektivität von Nickel/Träger-Katalysatoren

Investigations on Metal Catalysts. XXVIII. Activity and Selectivity of Supported Nickel Catalysts Titania and alumina supported nickel catalysts (with 1 and 10 wt.-% Ni, resp.) have been tested in ethane hydrogenolysis and conversion of cyclohexane. Titania supported nickel and nickel on high surface aluminas are characterized by small hydrogenolysis activities and high dehydrogenation selectivities. The behaviour of the Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts is discussed in terms of an interaction between small nickel crystallites and unreduced nickel. In the case of the Ni/TiO₂ catalysts the interpretation is based on the partial poisoning of the nickel surface by titanium cations.

Vergleichende Untersuchungen zur katalytischen Aktivität von Nickel und kristallinen Nickelboriden sowie RANEY-Nickel und borhaltigem RANEY-Nickel: Hydrierungs- und Dehydrierungsreaktionen,elektrochemische Methanoloxydation

The catalytic activation of the decomposition of gaseous formic acid with nickel powder and crystalline nickel borides is compared. Only after treatment with NH₃-solution the activity of the nickel borides has the same order as that of nickel powder. Ni₃B is the best of the catalysts used. The crystalline nickel borides cannot catalyze the anodic oxydation of methanol in alcaline solution at 80°C. — Nickel catalysts containing Boron can be prepared by the RANEY method from nickel boride and aluminum. These catalysts have the same activity as normal RANEY nickel with respect to the hydrogenation of the C?C? bond in crotonic acid; they are more active with respect to the C?O? bond of acetone. Methanol can be oxydised fastly in alcaline solution at 80°C on electrodes containing RANEY nickel. RANEY nickel containing boron is still better.

Schwermetallausgetauschte Zeolithe als Katalysatoren für die Selektivoxidation

Transition Metal Zeolites as Catalysts for the Partial Oxidation of Methanol Zeolites containing cations of the 4th period of the periodical system from Ti to Cu have been prepared by ion exchange of a NaY zeolite in aqueous solutions. Structural and surface chemical properties of the zeolites were characterized by adsorption, DTA, thermogastitrimetry, x-ray, ESR, IR, and UV-V is spectroscopy. It could be shown that both localization and coordination state of transition metal ions is fairly different and depends on the thermal treatment of the zeolites. By exchanging sodium ions the acidic properties as well as the ability of the zeolites to interact with H₂O or CO₂ is changed and depends on the kind of transition metal ion. VO and Cr exchanged zeolites proved to be selective catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde with a maximum selectivity of 70%. It is concluded that in contrast to oxides where a redox mechanism is assumed the reaction on zeolites occurs via an associative mechanism.

Charakterisierung und katalytische Aktivität von Ni2+-ausgetauschten X- und Y-Zeolithen. I. TPR-Untersuchungen an NiNaX- und NiNaY-Zeolithen

Charaterization and Catalytic Activity of Ni²⁺ Exchanged X and Y Zeolites. I. TPR Studies on NiNaX and NiNaY Zeolites . The structure of TPR spectra of NiNaX and NaNiY zeolites variously exchanged is determined by the location of the cations. In case of X zeolites a peak appears with a maximum at 750–800 K (reduction on S_II and S_I, positions) and for higher exchange degrees an additional one at about 1000 K (reduction on S_I positions). Three ranges of reduction may be separated in case of Y zeolites (reduction on S_II, S_I′, and S_I). With increasing Si/Al ratios the maximum of the hightemperature peak is shifted to higher temperatures. The reduction at temperatures up to 800 K resulted in higher reduction degrees for X reolites while the overall reduction up to high temperatures led to higher reduction degrees for Y zeolites. The kinetic analysis by means of two different methods yielded the following activation energies: (85 ± 10) or (86 ± 2) kJ/mole, respectively, for the low-temperature peak, and (223 ± 12) or (214 ± 2) kJ/mole, respectively, for the high-temperature peak.     

Nickel catalysts based on porous nickel for methane steam reforming

The influence of synthesis conditions on the phase composition and texture of porous nickel supports as plates with a magnesium oxide underlayer were investigated by X-ray diffraction, low-temperature nitrogen absorption, and electron microscopy combined with X-ray microanalysis. Nickel catalysts supported on these plates were studied. Thermal treatment of Mg(NO₃)₂ in nitrogen yields a magnesium oxide underlayer with a small specific surface area (support I). The replacement of nitrogen with hydrogen leads to a larger surface area (support II). The formation of MgO is accompanied by the incorporation of Ni²⁺ cations from the oxide film into the underlayer. Upon subsequent reduction with hydrogen or under the action of the reaction medium, these cations form fine crystallites of nickel. The supports having an oxide underlayer show a higher activity in methane steam reforming than the initial metallic nickel. Nickel catalysts on supports I and II show similar activities. The activity of the catalysts was stable throughout 50-h-long tests; no carbon deposits were detected by TEM.     

Charakterisierung und katalytische Aktivität von Ni2+-ausgetauschten X- und Y-Zeolithen. II. Die Reduzierbarkeit des Ni2+ durch niedere Olefine und die Dimerisierungsaktivität der Ni2+-ausgetauschten Zeolithe

Characterization and Catalytic Activity of Ni²⁺ -X and -Y Zeolites. II. Reducibility of Ni²⁺ by Low Olefines and the Dimerization Activity of the Ni²⁺ -Zeolites The reducibility of Ni²⁺ in X and Y zeolites by hydrogen, but-1-ene, propene, and ethene is compared. The degree of reduction was determined after isothermal reduction and reoxidation by the TPR method. At 673 K on X zeolites the reducibility decreases in the order: H₂ > but-1-ene, propene > ethene. On Y zeolites an inversion takes place: but-1-ene, propene > H₂, ethene. The mechanism of reduction by olefins should be determined by an intermediate splitting off of a hydride ion as a reducing species. Such a mechanism explains the higher degree of reduction in the more acid Y zeolites. Assuming low valent nickel as an active center in ethen dimerization the induction period results from the reduction of Ni²⁺ ions.     

Untersuchungen an Nickeloxid-Mischkatalysatoren. XI. Oberflächenchemische Eigenschaften von NiO/SiO2-Katalysatoren

Studies on Nickel Oxide Mixed Catalysts. XI. Surface Chemical Properties of NiO/SiO₂ Catalysts NiO/SiO₂ catalysts with different composition prepared by precipitation have been investigated which are characterized by a nickel layersilicate-like structure. The determination of the surface chemical properties was carried out by infrared spectroscopy (before and after pyridine adsorption), ¹H-NMR-measurements, chemisorption of ammonia, and titration with n-butylamine. It has been found three kinds of hydroxid groups which are assigned to Ni? OH and Si? OH groups with respect to investigations on definite nickel layersilicates. Furthermore, coordinatively unsaturated Ni^II surface sites were indicated. The number of the OH groups as well as the centers determined by chemisorption of bases increase with increasing NiO content. The obtained results allow the conclusion that the OH groups and the coordinatively unsaturated Ni^II surface sites are weakly acid.     

Mesoporous Nickel–Alumina Catalysts for Hydrogen Production by Steam Reforming of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

Recent progress on the mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts for hydrogen production by steam reforming of liquefied natural gas (LNG) was reported in this review. A number of mesoporous nickel–alumina composite catalysts were prepared by a single-step surfactant-templating method using cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surfactant as structure-directing agents for use in hydrogen production by steam reforming of LNG. For comparison, nickel catalysts supported on mesoporous aluminas were also prepared by an impregnation method. The effect of preparation method and surfactant identity on physicochemical properties and catalytic activities of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts in the steam reforming of LNG was investigated. Regardless of preparation method and surfactant identity, nickel oxide species were finely dispersed on the surface of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts through the formation of surface nickel aluminate phase. However, nickel dispersion and nickel surface area of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalysts were strongly affected by the preparation method and surfactant identity. It was found that nickel surface area of mesoporous nickel–alumina catalyst served as one of the important factors determining the catalytic performance in hydrogen production by steam reforming of LNG. Among the catalysts tested, a mesoporous nickel–alumina composite catalyst prepared by a single-step non-ionic surfactant-templating method exhibited the best catalytic performance due to its highest nickel surface area.     

On the origin of reactivity of steam reforming of ethylene glycol on supported Ni catalysts

This paper describes a strategy for producing hydrogen via steam reforming of ethylene glycol over supported nickel catalysts. Nickel plays a crucial role in conversion of ethylene glycol and production of hydrogen, while oxide supports affect product distribution of carbonaceous species. A plausible reaction pathway is proposed based on our results and the literature.     

Stability of hydrogen peroxide during perhydrolysis of carboxylic acids on acidic heterogeneous catalysts

This paper describes a study of the stability of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of different aluminosilicate materials, in connection with an investigation of carboxylic acid perhydrolysis. During the reaction, aluminosilicate materials such as H-β zeolites, mesoporous material H-MCM-41 and alumina initiate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The reason of the spontaneous decomposition of H₂O₂ is related to the partial dealumination of these zeolites. However, in the case of experiments carried out with H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts, a slight catalytic effect on the perhydrolysis and no spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide were noticed. The use of cation exchange resins as catalysts is more kinetically beneficial than H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts.     

Aluminosilicates with different pores structure in the synthesis of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-phenyl-2-propanimine

Physicochemical characteristics of microporous zeolites of various structural type (FAU, BEA, MTW), micro-meso-macroporous zeolite (H-Ymmm), and mesoporous aluminosilicate (ASM) were studied. Their catalytic activity in the reaction of aniline with acetone was examined. It was found that 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline was the main reaction product on the catalysts H-Ymmm and ASM (selectivity up to 68% at 100% conversion of aniline), while the reaction on zeolites with microporous structure mainly gave N-phenyl-2-propanimine (selectivity up to 91%).
