Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXIV [1]. Adsorptions- und katalytische Eigenschaften von CeNaY- und CrNaY-Zeolithen

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXIV. Adsorption and Catalytic Properties of CeNaY and CrNaY Zeolites The adsorption of benzene, n-butylamine and ammonia(isotherms and heats of adsorption) on CeNaY and CrNaY zeolites of different exchange degrees has been measured. The acidic properties were characterized by titration with n-butylamine. As function of exchange degree the adsorption and catalytic properties (cracking of cumene) both change in the same manner. Whereas the reaction rate constants up to exchange degrees of 40–50% change only insignificantly, they are exponentially increasing at higher exchange degrees. The energies of activation are nearly independent of the degree and run to 23–25 kcal mol^?1.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XLIII. Thermoanalytic and Catalytic Investigations of Platinum-Containing Zeolites H-ZSM-5 By impregnation with H₂PtCl₆ from ethanolic solution, after reduction a higher metal dispersion in zeolites Pt/H-ZSM-5 is achieved than by impregnation from aqueous solution. Over such samples, bifunctional catalyzed reactions are more favoured than over zeolites Pt/H-ZSM-5 obtained by impregnation with H₂PtCl₆ from aqueous solution.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXII. Effect of High-Silica Y Zeolites in the Cracking and Isomerization Reaction of Paraffins The catalytic properties of high-silica Y zeolites were investigated in the cracking of gasoil and – after addition of platinum – in the isomerization of n-hexane. Number and strength of Brönsted acid centres are influenced by dealumination. Strength and concentration of acid centres control catalytic activity, selectivity, and rate of coking.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XLV. Conversion of Aromatics on Dealuminated Zeolites ZSM-5 The catalytic properties of zeolites ZSM-5 dealuminated by hydrochloric acid are investigated in the isomerization of m-Xylene, the disproportionation of toluene and in the alkylation of toluene with methanol. Besides the increase of the Si/Al ratio, the dealumination leads to an inversion of the Si/Al concentration gradient in crystallites, to a shift of acidity spectrum and consequently to a change in catalytic activity and selectivity.     

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXVIII. Einfluß der Vorbehandlungsbedingungen auf Die katalytischen Eigenschaften von NiNaY- und NiCoNaY-Zeolithen

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXVIII. Influence of Pretreatment on Catalytic Properties of Zeolites NiNaY and NiCoNaY The influence of the pretreatment conditions on the acidic properties, the reduction degree of nickel, and the catalytic activity and selectivity of zeolites NiNaY and NiCoNaY in the alkylation of benzene with ethylene has been investigated. From the experimental results can be concluded that sec. buthylbenzene from benzene and ethylene is only formed on zeolite samples which contain both together BRÖNSTED acidic centres and Ni²⁺ cations or NiO. Catalysts which contain only metallic nickel are inactive for this reaction. Catalysts with nickel in different forms are active in the formation of ethylbenzene, diethylbenzene, butane and sec. buthylbenzene, the yields depending on the relation of Ni°, Ni²⁺, and NiO. Changing this relation makes possible to regulate the selectivity in the alkylation of benzene with ethylene.     

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XVI. Über Zusammensetzung und Struktur dotierter Zinkoxidkatalysatoren

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XVI. Composition and Structure of Doped Zinc Oxide Catalysts Analytical, x-ray, textural, IR-spectroscopic, and MÖSSBAUER investigations of zinc oxide catalysts doped with Li₂O, Ga₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ were conducted in order to reveal relations between electronic and catalytic properties. The mixtures ZnO/Li₂CO₃, ZnO/Ga₂O₃, ZnO/Fe₂O₃, and ZnO/⁵⁷Fe(NO₃)₃, after the thermal pretreatment, always exist in the state of a polyphase solid system. In the ZnO/Li₂O system, only a very small part of the added lithium oxide is incorporated into the zinc oxide lattice by substitution. A second part of the Li₂O volatizes during the thermal pretreatment, and the greater part of it exists in the state of a separate solid phase in the catalyst and can be washed out by water. During the pretreatment, according to its temperature and duration, two-phase systems (ZnO, ZnMe₂O₄) or three-phase systems (ZnO, ZnMe₂O₄, Me₂O₃) are formed in the solid systems ZnO/Ga₂O₃ and ZnO/Fe₂O₃. For the reaction of both oxides forming a spinel, an electronic model is proposed.     

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XVII. Zum Zusammenhang zwischen elektrischen und katalytischen Eigenschaften dotierter Zinkoxidkatalysatoren

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XVII. On the Relations between Electric and Catalytic Properties of Doped Zinc Oxide Catalysts The electric conductivity and thermo EMF of zinc oxide catalysts doped with Li₂O, Ga₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃, and, on the other hand, their activity of dehydrogenation in the catalytic decomposition of isopropanol have been studied. The electric measurements were carried out preferably in an atmosphere of isopropanol. In washed single-phase catalysts doped with Li₂O (n-type semiconductors) the relation between the catalytic activity of dehydrogenation and the FERMI level position postulated by VOL'KEN?TEJN was verified quantitatively. The absorption of the isopropanol is considered to be the rate-determining acceptor step. In unwashed zinc oxide catalysts doped with Li₂O, however, the inversion from n- to p-type (between 0.3 and 0.5 mole-% Li₂O) causes a change in the character of the rate-determining step from an acceptor to a donor step. For the two-phase and three-phase solid systems of ZnO? Ga₂O₃ and ZnO? Fe₂O₃, respectively, it was not possible to find quantitative relations according to the electron theory of catalysis.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXIV. Redoxbehaviour of Nickel in Zeolite NiNaY. 1. Reducibility and Reoxidizability of Nickel in Zeolites NiNaY The properties of metallic nickel in reduced (470–870 K) and reoxidized (470, 670 K) samples were studied by chemical analysis (reaction with K₂Cr₂O₇) and spectroscopic methods (FMR, IR after CO adsorption, UV/VIS). The reduction of Ni²⁺ cations from oxidic clusters proceeds in an onestep reaction. Contrary to this, isolated Ni²⁺ cations are reduced stepwise to Ni⁺ cations and subsequently to metallic nickel. The reduction degree depends in characteristic manner on the reduction temperature. Metallic nickel which was reduced at temperatures < 620 K, can be completely reoxidized at 470 K. Higher temperatures result in metallic aggregations which are not completely reoxidized even at 670 K.     

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXXVIII. Zum bifunktionellen Zusammenwirken metallischer und acider Zentren in Metall/HNaY-Zeolith-Katalysatoren

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXVIII. On the Bifunctional Action of Metal Sites and Acid Sites in Metal/HNaY Zeolite Catalysts The catalytic activity and selectivity of HNaY zeolites containing nickel were investigated in the isomerization of n-hexane. In order to characterize independently the catalytic properties of the supported metal, the catalytic behaviour of these samples was determined in the dehydrogenation reaction of cyclohexane and in the hydrogenolysis of ethane. The catalytic properties of the metal in metal/HNaY zeolite catalysts are strongly modified by acid sites of the zeolite. This modification of the catalytic properties is attributed to electronic interactions between metal and zeolite.     

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXV. Katalytische Aktivität und Aktivitäts-Zeit-Verhalten modifizierter Mordenite beim Spalten von n-Octan

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXV. Catalytic Activity and Aging Properties of Modified Mordenites in the Cracking of n-Octane MeH-mordenites (Me = Li, K, Mg, Ca, Ba) were prepared by ion exchange starting with H-mordenite (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ mole ratio = 14). To characterize these samples the cracking of n-octane was used as catalytic test reaction. Surface OH groups and the adsorption of NH₃ on these samples were investigated by i. r. spectroscopy. Unaffected by the kind of the exchanged cation the Brönsted acidity of the H-mordenite decreases monotonously with increasing content of the incorporated cation. The catalytic activity and (to a much higher degree) the rate of deactivation by coking during the reaction decrease as the Brönsted acidity decreases. The strong dependence of the Brönsted acidity on the deactivation rate points to a multi-site mechanism of the coking process.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXV. Redoxbehaviour of Nickel in Zeolite NiNaY. 2. Investigation on the Dispersion of Ni- und Ni/NiO-Species in Reduced and Reoxidized NiNaY Samples Oxygen chemisorption and electronmicroscopic measurements (ultramicrotome technique) correspondingly show a decrease of the metal dispersion with increasing reduction temperature (470–870 K) and exchange degree (10, 29, 54 equ.-% resp.). Contrary to this results electronmicroscopic measurements with replica technique don't reflect such a dependence. Increase of particle size after reoxidation (470 K) and reduction at 470 to 870 K (regeneration) of the NiNaY samples are attributed on the one hand to the aggregation of oxidic particles and on the other hand to metal sintering by the subsequent reduction step. A decrease of dispersion after a reoxidation process at 670 K is caused by formation and relocalisation of isolated nickel ions.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXIX. Influence of Acidic Carriers on the Catalytic Effect of Metals The catalytic behaviour of modified zeolite catalysts containing metal in the isomerization of n-hexane as well as in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane and in the hydrogenolysis of ethane shows that the catalytic action of the metal can be continuously and reversibly varied by modifying the carrier acidity. From the concept of an electronic interaction between metal and (acid) carrier conclusions can be derived for a directed modification of the catalytic properties of metal/carrier catalysts.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXVI. Effect of Modified Mordenites in the Shape Selective Cracking of Paraffins Shape selectivity of mordenite in the cracking of n-octane and iso-octane depends in a complex manner on the acidity of the solid, the equivalent content of exchanged cations, the distribution of active sites within the mordenites and on reaction conditions. All influencing factors are explained by slow diffusion of the branched hydrocarbon in the pore system of the mordenite.     

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXIX. Spektroskopische und katalytische Untersuchungen an Ni2+-, Co2+-, Cr3+- und Cu2+-ausgetauschten Mordeniten

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXIX. Spectroscopic and Catalytic Investigations on Ni²⁺-, Co²⁺-, Cr³⁺-, and Cu²⁺-exchanged Mordenites NiNaM, CoNaM, CrNaM und CuNaM (M = Mordenite) have been characterized by UV-VIS, EPR and i.r. spectroscopy and the results were compared with the catalytic activity and the activity-time-dependence in the cracking of n-octane and with the shape selectivity in the cracking of a n-octane and isooctane mixture. Water molecules acting as ligands of the exchanged cations are able to dissociate yielding Brönsted acidity. Brönsted sites may be regarded as catalytic active centers in the cracking reaction. Unreduced transition metal cations facilitate the “coking” of the mordenite. The unreduced chromium and cobalt cations for which a position within the main channel is expected, affect the diffusion of the branched paraffin molecule thus increasing shape selectivity.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XIV. The catalytic Activity of some transient Forms of Alumina in the Dehydration of Isopropanol In order to give statements about the influence of the method of preparation of aluminum hydroxides and oxide hydroxides on the catalytic properties of alumina obtained from these compounds in the dehydration of ispropanol, bayerite, nordstrandite, and boehmite were prepared by several methods, carefully excluding impurity ions. Also, hydrargillite containing alkali was included in the investigations. By calcination in oxygen at 550 and 950°C, respectively, two groups of alumina were obtained. The catalytic properties of the oxides in the dehydration of isopropanol were examined by an apparatus working according to the dynamic principle. The specific activities of the different transient forms of alumina were found to vary according to the sequence η-;≈γ->?-≈δ->??(>??-)Al₂O₃.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XLVI. Synthetic Boroaluminosilicates with Pentasil Structure (SABO): Structural, Surface Chemical, and Catalytical Properties A remarkable modification of ZSM-5 type zeolites is possible by isomorphous substitution of silicon and/or aluminium by boron. In the H-forms of these SABO zeolites the boron atoms mainly exist in a trigonal lattice oxygen environment and hence they are not envolved in the formation of Broensted acid sites. Consequences of incorporated boron for catalytic reactions result from a decrease in the strength of existing Broensted sites as well as from a partial lattice contraction.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XLIV. Modification of the Catalytic Behavior of Modified ZSM-5 Zeolites by Thermal Treatment The catalytic activity, the shape selectivity, and the deactivation behavior of ZSM-5 in paraffin cracking reactions can be regulated by a thermal pretreatment. A minimum of the deactivation rate as a function of zeolite pretreatment time at 600°C found in the hexane cracking could be verified in the methanol conversion reaction to gasoline.     

Magnetische Untersuchungen an Übergangsmetallarseniden

Zusammenfassung Die magnetischen Susceptibilitäten von Legierungen aus den quasibinären Systemen TiAs(h)–VAs, TiAs(h)–CrAs und VAs–CrAs werden mittels einer magnetischen Waage im Bereich von 293° K–1423° K gemessen.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XLI. Redox Behavior of Nickel in Zeolites NiNa? Y. 3. Reducibility of Ni²⁺ Ions and Properties of the Reduced Nickel in Acidic Zeolites NiNa? Y The reducibility of nickel ions in zeolites NiNa? Y and the properties of metallic nickel were evaluated by tpr measurements, oxygen chemisorption and conversion of cyclohexane. In NiNa? Y samples which contain NH₄⁺(H⁺) and/or Al³⁺(H⁺) ions the reducibility of Ni²⁺ ions is decreased caused by increasing acidity and the metal dispersion is improved. The electronic interaction between the acidic support and the metallic nickel leads to a decrease of both dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis activity whereas the dehydrogenation selectivity increases.

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXVI. Structure and Thermal Behaviour of Silica–Alumina The effect of thermal treatment up to 500°C on silica-alumina was studied by i.r. investigation in the lattice vibration region and the condensation degree of the silicate fragments in the silica-alumina was characterized using the molybdato method. The results of both methods demonstrate the proton form of the amorphous alumosilicates to be thermal instable and to undergo extraction of the aluminium from the alumosilicate lattice. The consequences resulting from this process on the catalytic efficiency of silica-alumina in the cracking reaction of cumene are discussed.
