A series of alumina supported cobalt oxide based catalysts doped with noble metals such as ruthenium and platinum were prepared by wet impregnation method.The variables studied were difference ratio and calcination temperatures.Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at 700 ℃ was found to be the best catalyst which able to convert 70.10% of CO2 into methane with 47% of CH4 formation at maximum temperature studied of 400 ℃.X-ray diffraction analysis showed that this catalyst possessed the active site Co3O4 in face-centered cubic and PtO2 in the orthorhombic phase with Al2O3 existed in the cubic phase.According to the FESEM micrographs,both fresh and spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalysts displayed small particle size with undefined shape.Nitrogen Adsorption analysis showed that 5.50% reduction of the total surface area for the spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst.Meanwhile,Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis(EDX) indicated that Co and Pt were reduced by 0.74% and 0.14% respectively on the spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3catalyst.Characterization using FT-IR and TGA-DTA analysis revealed the existence of residual nitrate and hydroxyl compounds on the Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst.     

Solvent effects in the fluorination of 1,2-dichloro-1,1-difluoroethane (R-132b) to 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-133a)

Coupling dehydrogenation of isobutane in the presence of carbon dioxide over chromium oxide supported on active carbon

The dehydrogenation of isobutane （IB） to produce isobutene coupled with reverse water gas shift in the presence of carbon dioxide was investigated over the catalyst Cr2O3 supported on active carbon （Cr2O3/AC）. The results illustrated that isobutane conversion and isobutene yield can be enhanced through the reaction coupling in the presence of carbon dioxide. Moreover, carbon dioxide can partially eliminate carbonaceous deposition on the catalyst and keep the active phase （Cr2O3）, which are then helpful to alleviate the catalyst deactivation.     

Catalytic reduction of nitric monoxide by ethene over Ag/TiO2 in the presence of excess oxygen

Selective reduction of nitric oxide (NO) by ethene in the presence of excess oxygen was investigated using a silver supported on TiO₂ (Ag/TiO₂) catalyst. Ag/TiO₂ showed high catalytic activity for the reduction of NO to N₂ and N₂O. The activity for the reduction of NO to N₂ and N₂O was enhanced with an increase up to 3 wt.% Ag loading level. On increasing the concentration of ethene, the catalytic activity for the reduction of NO to N₂ and N₂O was enhanced. The reduction of NO over Ag/TiO₂ catalyst never proceeds without coexistent oxygen.

采用卧式程序控温电加热陶瓷管反应器,在N2和模拟烟气气氛中、300~1 100℃下,研究了SO2对甲烷在金属铁及其氧化物表面还原NO反应的影响。采用XRD等手段对反应前后铁催化剂样品的组成变化进行了表征,分析了SO2在甲烷-铁脱硝反应中的作用机理。结果表明,甲烷在金属铁及氧化铁表面能够高效率地还原NO,NO还原效率不受烟气中SO2的影响。在SO2体积分数为0.01%~0.04%的N2气氛中,温度高于700℃时,金属铁上NO还原率和SO2脱除率可同时达到100%。在SO2体积分数为0.01%~0.04%的模拟烟气中,当温度高于850℃时,NO还原效率达到90%以上;温度为950℃时,NO还原效率达到98%,SO2对NO还原效率的影响可忽略。当反应温度为1 000℃时,在含0.02%SO2的模拟烟气中,甲烷的体积分数为1.13%时,持续100 h金属铁表面上的NO还原效率都能保持95%以上。     

Photocatalytic selective oxidation of CO with O2 in the presence of H2 over highly dispersed chromium oxide on silica under visible or solar light irradiation

A highly dispersed Cr⁶⁺-oxide species on silica (Cr/SiO₂) was found to act as an efficient photocatalyst for the selective oxidation of CO into CO₂ with O₂ in the presence of H₂ under visible (λ>420 nm) or solar light irradiation at 293 K. UV-Vis, photoluminescence and FT-IR investigations revealed that the selective reactivity of the photoexcited tetrahedral Cr⁶⁺-oxide species ([Cr⁵⁺−O⁻]^*) with CO, as well as the high reactivity of the photoreduced Cr⁶⁺-oxide species (Cr⁴⁺-oxide species) with O₂ both play significant roles in this reaction.     

正己烷存在下的氢选择性催化燃烧

以正己烷作为裂解原料烃类代表,Pt-Sn/Al₂O₃催化剂作为氢选择性燃烧催化剂,对直接内加热方式提供热量促使裂解原料达到可裂解温度的可行性进行了研究。结果表明,温度相同时,Pt-Sn/Al₂O₃ 催化剂存在时氢燃烧的选择性明显高于无催化剂存在时的非催化氢燃烧过程,Pt-Sn/Al₂O₃ 催化剂是优良的氢选择性燃烧催化剂。该催化剂在催化氢选择性燃烧过程中,存在一个临界温度点650℃。当物流入口温度低于650℃时,氢燃烧选择性达90%以上;高于650℃时,由于非催化氢燃烧所占总燃烧反应比例加大,造成氢燃烧选择性有所降低。同时,在一定温度下,要获得高的氢燃烧选择性及氧气转化率,须综合考虑氢烃比和氢氧比的影响。

Selective catalytic reduction of NO over metal oxide or noble metal-doped In2O3/Al2O3 catalysts by propene in the presence of oxygen

The activities of metal oxide CuO, SnO₂, CoO, Ag₂O, ZnO or noble metal Pt, Pd, Rh-doped In₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by propene were investigated. The temperature windows for NO reduction over noble metal-doped In₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts were shifted and broaden slightly compared with single component catalyst alone.

Suppressed formation of CO2 and H2O in the oxidative coupling of methane over La2O3/MgO catalyst by surface modification

Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is a promising way to convert methane into C_2 hydrocarbons. However, CO_2 and H_2O are by-products of the reaction. To utilize the higher activity of lanthanum oxide and save its usage, MgO supported La_2O_3 catalyst was prepared. Surface modification of the catalyst with nitric acid was made to suppress the formation of the by-products. Experimental results indicated that the addition of nitric acid increased the surface oxygen species with binding energy of ca. 531.7 eV and at the same time reduced the pore volume of the catalyst. These effects of nitric acid finally led to the increase of C_2 selectivity and the decrease of the by-products formation. Hydrogen selectivity was found about 14%- 18% over the catalysts adopted in this work.

The Ag/Al₂O₃ catalyst supported on cordierite honeycomb (Ag/Al₂O₃/ cordierite) is highly active forthe reduction of lean NOx by ethanol. Addition of H₂O enhances the NOx reduction to CO₂ and N₂, and suppresses the formation of by-products such as CO, CH₃CHO and C₂H₄.     

原位漫反射红外光谱法研究SO2对Ag/Al2O3选择性催化丙烯还原NOx反应的影响

 以Ag/Al2O3为催化剂,采用原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱法研究了SO2对C3H6选择性还原NOx反应的影响. 结果表明, SO2在催化剂表面转化为硫酸盐,并且随着硫酸盐累积量的增加,其主要红外特征吸收峰由低波数向高波数漂移. 高浓度表面硫酸盐的存在不仅抑制了催化剂表面硝酸盐的生成,而且抑制了硝酸盐与表面烯醇式物种(RCH=CH-O-)或乙酸盐物种进一步反应,生成活泼的反应中间体异氰酸酯(-NCO), 这是导致Ag/Al2O3催化剂上C3H6选择性还原NOx活性降低的主要原因.     

Activated carbon supported Co1.5PW12O40 as efficient catalyst for the production of 1, 2 cyclohexane diol by oxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 in the presence of CO2

ABSTRACT

Vicinal diols are important building blocks for chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Currently, they are produced from olefins using solvents and harmful oxidants unfavorable from an environmental and economic point of view. This work lies on the synthesis of 1,2 cyclohexane diol from cyclohexene by a green route. To achieve it, a series of Cobalt Keggin heteropolyanion salt (Co_1.5PW₁₂O₄₀) loaded on activated carbon with different contents was prepared, characterized and tested for the synthesis of diol. The effect of various parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time and CO₂ pressure on the reaction was studied. The effect of reaction temperature in the range 60-80 °C showed that high temperatures favor diol formation while low temperatures favor cyclohexanone and a segmented concave Arrhenius graph was observed. The results of this work showed that oxidation by H₂O₂ in the presence of CO₂ is an efficient oxidant system for the production of 1.2 cyclohexane diol over carbon activated carbon supported Co_1.5PW₁₂O₄₀. Thanks to CO₂ as a soft oxidizing agent, a conversion of 96.9% and a selectivity in 1, 2 cyclohexane diol of 64.2% was obtained. This simple, safe and environmentally method could be an alternative green route for vicinal diols production from alkenes.     

Catalytic activity and stability of anionic and cationic water soluble cobalt(II) tetraarylporphyrin complexes in the oxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol by molecular oxygen

The catalytic activity and stability of anionic cobalt(II) porphyrin complexes: 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinatocobalt(II), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethyl-3,5disulfonatophenyl)porphyrinatocobalt(II) and the cationic cobalt(II) porphyrin: 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(diethylmethylammonio)phenyl]porphyrinatocobalt(II) tertraiodide have been investigated in the oxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol by dioxygen. All complexes were efficient catalysts for the auto-oxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol. The cationic cobalt(II) porphyrin has been found to be the most reactive catalyst. The rate of auto-oxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol catalysed by 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethyl-3,5disulfonatophenyl)porphyrinatocobalt(II) has been found to increase with increasing the pH from 7 to 9 then decreased at higher pH. The rate constants of auto-oxidation reaction showed linear dependence on catalyst concentration and saturation kinetics in both 2-mercaptoethanol concentrations and dioxygen pressure. Anionic cobalt(II) porphyrin complexes showed higher stability than the cationic catalyst in repeat oxidation reactions. Immobilizing the anionic catalysts on ion exchange resin and supporting the cationic catalyst on clay mineral montmorillonite improved their stabilities towards oxidation.
