Hydroisomerization of n-heptane over bimetal-bearing H_3PW_(12)O_(40) catalysts supported on dealuminated USY zeolite

The bimetal-bearing (CePt or LaPt) 12-tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40 (PW)) catalysts supported on dealuminated USY zeolite (DUSY) were prepared by impregnation and characterized by XRD, BET, IR, and H2-chemisorption. Their catalytic activities were tested in the hydroisomerization of n-heptane with a continuous atmospheric fixed-bed reactor. After the steam treatment combined with the acid leaching, as well as the supporting with PW and the bimetals, the DUSY support retains the Y zeolite porosity and the PW well keeps its Keggin structure in catalysts. The doping of Ce into the catalysts enhances the dispersion of Pt on the catalyst surface. The Pt-bearing PW catalysts doped with Ce or La, especially Ce, exhibit much higher catalytic activity and selectivity than the catalysts without dopants at lowered reaction temperatures. At the optimal reaction conditions, i.e., the reaction temperature of 250℃ and WHSV of 1.4 h1, the catalyst with a Pt loading of 0.4%, PW loading of 10% and a molar ratio of Ce to Pt of 15:1 shows a conversion of n-heptane of 70.3% with a high selectivity for isomerization products of 94.1%.     

Phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of (NH4)3VO2F4 cryolite

Calorimetric measurements performed in a wide temperature range on (NH₄)₃VO₂F₄ have shown the presence of four heat capacity anomalies at T₁ = 438 K, T₂ = 244 K, T₃ = 210.2 K, T₄ = 205.1 K associated with the first order phase transitions. In accordance with the permittivity behavior, the structural transformations are of nonferroelectric nature. Pressure dependence of the phase transition temperatures has been studied by DTA under pressure. The entropy of phase transitions is analyzed mainly in the framework of the orientational disordering of NH₄⁺ and VO₂F₄^3? ions in a cubic phase.     

The thermal decomposition of (NH4)[VO(O2)2(NH3)]

The compound, (NH₄)[VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)], thermally decomposes to ammonium metavanadate, which then decomposes to vanadium pentoxide. Using a heating rate of 5 deg·min^–1, the first decomposition step occurs between 74° and 102°C. The transformation degree dependence of the activation energy (-E) is shown to follow a decreasing convex form, indicating that the first decomposition step is a complex reaction with a change in the limiting stage of the reaction. Infrared spectra indicated that the decomposition proceeds via the gradual reduction of the ratio of the (NH₄)₂O to V₂O₅ units from the original 11 ratio in ammonium metavanadate, which may be written as (NH₄)₂O·V₂O₅, to V₂O₅.The assistance of Professor A.

通过浸渍和高温焙烧,制得表面附着CoAl₂O₄微晶颗粒的改性Al₂O₃载体,并采用等体积浸渍法制备负载型Co基催化剂。结合 N₂物理吸附、XRD、H₂-TPR、XPS及H₂化学吸附等表征手段,研究改性载体及其负载钴基催化剂的织构特征;采用费托合成反应评价其催化性能。结果表明,Al₂O₃改性后,表面CoAl₂O₄的存在有效减少了载体与活性组分Co的相互作用,显著提高了催化剂的还原度和催化活性。载体的改性量在20%左右达到最佳值,继续增加,催化剂还原度和活性基本不再升高。载体改性促使催化剂CH₄选择性有所降低,C₅₊选择性略有提高。     

Catalytic properties of Cu-Co catalysts supported on HNO3-pretreated CNTs for higher-alcohol synthesis

HNO 3 -pretreated CNTs were employed as supports, and a special ultrasound-assisted impregnation method was designed to prepare supported Cu-Co catalysts for higher-alcohol synthesis from syngas. The catalysts used in this work were characterized by N 2 adsorption-desorption, TEM, XRD, H 2 -TPR, CO-TPD techniques. It was found that the pre-treatment procedure of CNTs remarkably promoted the catalytic properties of the Cu-Co/CNTs catalysts. For the Cu-Co catalyst supported on CNTs pre-treated by 68 wt% HNO 3 , some active components were introduced into the CNTs channels, their dispersions and the amount of strongly adsorbed CO-species were improved. The CO conversion and alcohol yield on the HNO 3 -pretreated Cu-Co/CNTs catalyst were increased by ～21% and ～69%, respectively, compared with those on the normal Cu-Co/CNTs catalyst.     

First characterization of the ammine-ammonium complex [(NH4(NH3)4)2(mu-NH3)2]2+ in the crystal structure of [NH4(NH3)4][B(C6H5)4].NH3 and the [NH4(NH3)4]+ complex in [NH4(NH3)4][Ca(NH3)7]As3S6.2NH3 and [NH4(NH3)4][Ba(NH3)8]As3S6.NH3

The compound [NH4(NH3)4][B(C6H5)4].NH3 (1) was prepared by the reaction of NaB(C(6)H(5))(4) with a proton-charged ion-exchange resin in liquid ammonia. [NH(4)(NH(3))(4)][Ca(NH(3))(7)]As(3)S(6).2NH(3) (2) and [NH4(NH3)4][Ba(NH3)8]As3S6.NH3 (3) were synthesized by reduction of As(4)S(4) with Ca and Ba in liquid ammonia. All ammoniates were characterized by low-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. They were found to contain the ammine-ammonium complex with the maximal possible number of coordinating ammonia molecules, the [NH4(NH3)4]+ ion. 1 contains a special dimer, the [(NH4(NH3)4)2(mu-NH3)2]2+ ion, which is formed by two[NH4(NH3)4]+ ions linked by two ammonia molecules. The H(3)N-H...N hydrogen bonds in all three compounds range from 1.82 to 2.20 A (DHA = Donor-H...Acceptor angles: 156-178 degrees). In 2 and 3, additional H(2)N-H...S bonds to the thioanions are observed, ranging between 2.49 and 3.00 A (DHA angles: 120-175 degrees). Two parallel phenyl rings of the [B(C(6)H(5))(4)](-) anion in 1 form a pi...pi hydrogen bond (C...C distance, 3.38 A; DHA angles, 82 degrees), leading to a dimeric [B(C6H5)4]2(2-) ion.

Darstellung,Ramanspektren und Kristallstrukturen von V2O3(SO4)2, K[VO(SO4)2] und NH4[VO(SO4)2]

Preparation, Raman Spectra, and Crystal Structures of V₂O₃(SO₄)₂, K[VO(SO₄)₂], and NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂] The oxo-sulfato-vanadates(V) V₂O₃(SO₄)₂, K[VO(SO₄)₂], and NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂] have been prepared as crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination. In all structures sulfate acts as an unidentate ligand only toward a single vanadium atom. The structure of V₂O₃(SO₄)₂ consists of a threedimensional network of pairs of cornershared VO₆ octahedra with one terminal oxygen atom each, and SO₄ tetrahedra. All oxygen atoms of the sulfate ions are coordinated. NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂] and K[VO(SO₄)₂] are isostructural. VO₆ octahedra with one terminal oxygen atom and pairs of sulfate tetrahedra form infinite chains by corner sharing. The chains are weakly interlinked to layers. The sulfate ions are distorted towards planar SO₃ molecules and single oxygen atoms attached to vanadium. This structural detail gives an explanation for the mechanism of the reversible reaction K[VO(SO₄)₂] ? K[VO₂(SO₄)] + SO₃ at 400°C. Raman spectra of the compounds have been recorded and interpreted with respect to their structures. Crystal data: V₂O₃(SO₄)₂, monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, a = 947.2(4), b = 891.3(3), c? 989.1(4) pm, β = 104.56(3)°, Z = 4, 878 unique data, R(R_w) = 0.039(0,033); K[VO(SO₄)₂], orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 495.3(2), b = 869.6(9), c = 1 627(1)pm, Z = 4, 642 unique data, R(R_w) = 0,11(0,10); NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂], orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 495.3(1), b = 870.0(2), c = 1 676.7(4)pm, Z = 4, 768 unique data, R(R_w) = 0.088(0.083).     

NH4VO3在NH4H2PO4-H2O和(NH4)3PO4-H2O体系中的溶解度

采用等温溶解法测定了偏钒酸铵(NH₄VO₃)在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O和(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中T = 298.15-328.15 K时的溶解度以及溶液的密度和pH值。结果表明, NH₄VO₃的溶解度随着(NH₄)₃PO₄或NH₄H₂PO₄溶液浓度的增大,先降低后升高,这是由于同离子效应、化学反应平衡及离子活度的共同作用。比较T = 298.15K时, NH₄VO₃分别在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O、(NH₄)₂HPO₄-H₂O和(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中溶解度,发现在相同的磷酸盐浓度下, NH₄VO₃的溶解度在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O体系中最大,在(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中居中,在(NH₄)₂HPO₄-H₂O体系中最小。进一步地,在T = 298.15 K和磷酸盐浓度C = 0.5 mol·kg^-1时,结合pH值和反应溶度积常数K_SP等计算三个体系中的平均离子活度系数(γ_±),发现γ_±值在(NH₄)₂HPO₄-H₂O体系中最大,在(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中居中,在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O体系中最小,与溶解度规律一致。

丙烷脱氢负载型PtSnNa/SUZ-4催化剂中Na+助剂组分的作用

用微型催化反应装置结合X射线衍射(XRD)、H₂化学吸附、NH₃吸附-程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)和H₂-程序升温还原等多种物理化学手段研究了丙烷脱氢负载型PtSnNa/SUZ-4催化剂中Na⁺助剂组分的作用。结果表明,Na⁺组分可中和SUZ-4载体表面的强酸中心、提高催化剂的Pt金属分散度、抑制脱氢产物的裂解和积炭的生成,从而提高催化剂的丙烷脱氢选择性和反应稳定性。但是过量Na⁺组分的存在会削弱Sn物种与载体之间的相互作用,使其易被还原,导致催化剂丙烷脱氢活性显著下降。

Influence of ceria modification on the properties of TiO2-ZrO2 supported V2O5 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3

TiO(2)-ZrO(2) (hereafter denoted as Ti-Zr) supported V(2)O(5) catalysts with different loadings of CeO(2) were synthesized, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (in situ FT-IR) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). Their catalytic activities toward the NO(x) reduction reaction with NH(3) were tested. We found that with the addition of CeO(2), more NO was removed in a wide temperature range of 220-500 °C. As the CeO(2) content was increased from 10% to 20% (i.e., the molar ratio of Ce to Ti-Zr), NO conversion increased significantly; after that, increasing CeO(2) content, however, decreased NO conversion. In particular, the addition of CeO(2) to V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr suppressed the coke deposition and rendered a stable and high catalytic activity. The characterization results indicated that: (1) the deposited vanadium and cerium oxides were highly dispersed over the Ti-Zr support, and in addition to ZrV(2)O(7), a common binary compound observed in V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr, CeVO(4) and Ce(3)ZrO(8) was formed upon increasing CeO(2) content; (2) the introduction of CeO(2) to V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr sample promoted the redox ability of the resulting catalysts; and (3) the Ce-containing catalysts possessed the greater amount of surface acidic and active intermediate.     

Infrared spectra of the ammonium ion in ammonium metavanadate NH4VO3

The ND stretching modes of isotopically dilute NH₃D⁺ ions in NH₄VO₃ are in agreement with the predicted splitting into C_s, C_s and C₁(2) components under C_s site symmetry for the NH⁺₄ ion. The three bands observed represent the three NH bonding distances in the crystal, and the position, shape and low temperature behaviour of each band confirms the existence of two types of hydrogen bonding in NH₄VO₃. The low temperature infrared modes of NH⁺₄ and ND⁺₄ in NH₄VO₃ and ND₄VO₃, respectively, can be assigned under space group Pbcm. Temperature dependence of these modes also reflects the presence of both normal and bifurcated hydrogen bonds in NH₄VO₃.     

Vibrational and thermal studies of the complexes (NH4)[VO(O2)2(phen)].2H2O and (NH4)[V(O2)3(phen)].2H2O

The infrared spectra of the oxodiperoxo and triperoxo complexes, (NH4)[VO(O2)2(phen)].2H2O and (NH4)[V(O2)3(phen)].2H2O have been recorded and the observed bands are assigned on the basis of Cs symmetry. Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements on these two complexes were also carried out. A detailed mechanism for the mode of thermal decomposition of the two complexes has been given and supported by infrared spectral measurements on the thermal decomposition products. The data obtained agree quite well with the expected structure and indicate that the final thermal decomposition product of these two complexes is V2O5.
