Oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutylene over supported transition metal oxide catalysts

Para-selectivity of ZSM-5 zeolites with similar bulk Si/Al ratio, but different particle size and surface Al concentration has been investigated in toluene disproportionation. Results showed that enhancedpara-selectivity is a consequence not only of the particle size but also of the external surface aluminium concentration in the particles.     

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.     

碳催化剂用于异丁烷直接脱氢制异丁烯

异丁烯用途广泛,被认为是除乙烯和丙烯外最重要的基础化工原料.异丁烯的来源主要是石油裂化过程中产生的碳四馏分,但随着对其需求量的逐年增加,分离法已逐渐无法满足,因此异丁烷直接脱氢工艺逐渐受到工业界和学术界的重视.铬系和铂系催化剂是两类传统工业催化体系,但铬对环境污染严重,铂作为贵金属成本较高,而且现有工艺大多存在催化剂稳定性较差需要反复再生的问题.近年来碳材料用于烷烃氧化脱氢反应的研究较多,并表现出较高的活性和稳定性,甚至有研究组提出金属催化剂在反应中快速生成的活性积碳(active coke)可能是真正的催化活性中心.但氧化脱氢反应不同于直接脱氢,需在反应中加入氧气,这在实际生产中会带来一系列问题：考虑到烷烃的爆炸极限,实际应用时反应气必须稀释,这不利于产物的收集;而且氧气会导致反应物过度氧化产生CO和CO2等副产物,也限制了氧化脱氢工艺在工业上的应用和发展.
　　我们研究组将椰壳碳、煤质碳和碳纳米管等碳材料作为催化剂用于催化异丁烷直接脱氢反应,发现碳催化剂表现出较高的催化活性：在625 oC,椰壳碳上异丁烷转化率和异丁烯选择性分别为70%和78%,连续反应3d后仍能维持34%的转化率,且选择性基本不变.与铬基催化剂相比,碳催化剂在稳定性方面表现出更大优势.我们进一步采用N2吸脱附、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)等手段对反应前后的碳催化剂进行了详细表征. N2吸脱附结果表明,椰壳碳比表面积高达1190.2 m2/g,这可能是其具有较高催化活性的原因;而结合催化剂活性数据,对比反应前后椰壳碳催化剂比表面积和异丁烷转化率可知,两者呈现近乎线性的相关性,进一步证实比表面积大小对碳催化剂催化活性有重要影响. XPS谱图证明椰壳碳在反应前表面除了有少量硅(0.73%)外,不存在金属氧化物等杂质,证实碳材料无需负载氧化物等即可表现出较高的催化活性;反应后沉积的积碳附着在催化剂表面,使硅含量降低至0.47%;催化剂中氧含量也由4.43%降低至3.78%,同时有碳酸盐生成. FTIR谱图进一步证实反应前的椰壳碳表面有丰富的有机官能团,但反应开始后有机官能团很快消失,而催化剂仍保持较高的催化活性,因此有机官能团并非碳催化剂催化活性高的必要因素,这与文献中已报道的结果不同. FE-SEM照片中观察到反应后椰壳碳催化剂表面形成积碳,随着反应时间延长积碳明显增多,这与XPS结果一致.
　　碳材料具有来源广泛、绿色环保等显著优势,可作为一种新的催化体系应用于异丁烷直接脱氢反应,无需负载其他物质或添加氧化性气体即可表现出良好的催化活性和稳定性,其比表面积对催化活性有重要影响,反应中产生的积碳导致催化剂比表面积下降进而降低其催化活性,而有机官能团的存在对催化活性影响不大.     

Phosphated ceria,selective catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of isobutane over pure ceria and phosphated ceria catalysts, containing two different amounts of phosphorus, was examined at temperatures ranging from 450 to 610 °C. The catalysts were characterized using nitrogen adsorption, DRX, SEM, EDX, XPS and TPR techniques. Adding phosphorus to ceria and increasing the phosphorus content results in a modification of the physicochemical characteristics of the catalyst, the redox ability of the catalytic material being strongly diminished. At the same time, by adding phosphorus to ceria and increasing the phosphorus content, a decrease of the catalytic activity accompanied by an important increase of the selectivity for isobutene, mainly at the expense of carbon oxides, was observed. A compensation effect in catalysis was also observed for the isobutane conversion on this series of catalysts.     

Dehydrogenation of isobutane in the presence of carbon dioxide over supported vanadium oxide catalysts

Summary The dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene in the presence of carbon dioxide was carried out over supported vanadium oxide catalysts. The influence of the support on the catalytic performance was investigated. The isobutane conversion and isobutene selectivity in the presence of carbon dioxide were compared with the results obtained during the dehydrogenation reaction in the presence of helium (inert gas). The catalysts were characterized by temperature-programmed techniques (TPR, TPD-NH₃, TPD-CO₂).

Effect of gallium, aluminium, and chromium on silica supported V-Mg-O catalysts during oxidative dehydrogenation of propane: Kinetic study

The oxidative dehydrogenation （ODH） of propane was conducted on gallium, aluminum, and chromium doped Si30VMgO catalysts. On doping, the concentrations of the phases responsible for the activity and selectivity increased in their concentrations. The reaction studies were conducted in a tubular steel reactor at temperatures of 753, 783, 813, and 843 K and atmospheric pressure. The total flow rates of the feed were chosen as 30, 40, 50, and 60 ml/min. The propane to oxygen ratios were chosen at 1 ： 1, 2 ： 1, and 3 ： 1, respectively. The effect of various dopants on the activity and selectivity of the catalysts was studied. Deactivation studies were conducted over all the catalysts. The kinetic data were analyzed in terms of power law models and Langmuir-Hinshelwood （LH） models. The kinetic data results were analyzed by comparing the effect of dopants. Statistical model discrimination was done for the proposed models. AIC and BIC criteria were used for discrimination of the models.     

Synergistic effect between Sn and K promoters on supported platinum catalyst for isobutane dehydrogenation

Catalytic dehydrogenation of isobutane has recently received considerable attention because of the increasing demand for isobutene.In this study,the synergistic effect between Sn and K on PtSnK/γ-Al2O3 catalysts has been investigated by changing the content of Sn.It was found that with the presence of potassium,suitable addition of Sn could not only increase the metal dispersion,but also reduce the catalyst acidity.In these cases,the synergistic effect could also strengthen the interactions between the metal and support,which resulted in an increase in both catalytic activity and stability.In our experiments,Pt-0.6SnK/Al catalyst exhibited the lowest deactivation rate (12.4%) and showed a selectivity to isobutene higher than 94% at the isobutane conversion of about 45.3% after running the reaction for 6 h.However,with the excessive loading of Sn,surface property of active sites and the interactions between metal and support were changed.As a result,the initial optimal ratio between the metallic function and acid function would be destroyed,which was disadvantageous to the reaction.     

Quantum chemical study of mechanisms for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane on vanadium oxide

We have carried out a hybrid density functional study of mechanisms for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane on the (010) surface of V2O5. The surface was modeled using both vanadium oxide clusters and a periodic slab. We have investigated a Mars-van Krevelen mechanism that involves stepwise adsorption of the propane at an oxygen site followed by desorption of a water molecule and propene, and subsequent adsorption of an oxygen molecule to complete the catalytic cycle. The potential energy surface is found to have large barriers, which are lowered somewhat when the possibility of a triplet state is considered. The barriers for propane adsorption and propene elimination are 45-60 kcal/mol. The highest energy on the potential energy surface at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory is about 80 kcal/mol above the energy of the reactants and corresponds to formation of an oxygen vacancy after water elimination. Subsequent addition of an oxygen molecule to fill the vacancy is predicted to be energetically downhill. The reactions of propane at a bridging oxygen site and at a vanadyl site have similar energetics. The key results of the cluster calculations are confirmed by periodic calculations. Factors that may lower the barriers on the potential energy surface, including the interaction of vanadium oxide clusters with a support material and a concerted reaction with O2, are discussed.

Physicochemical study of catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane: Cobalt,nickel, and manganese molybdates

Temperature-programmed desorption and IR spectroscopic studies of the physicochemical properties of cobalt, nickel, and manganese molybdates are reported. These properties are correlated with the catalytic properties of the molybdates in the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane with atmospheric oxygen. It is demonstrated by an analysis of the IR spectra of the molybdates that the isobutene yield grows as the proportion of tetrahedrally coordinated molybdenum in the catalyst structure increases in isobutane dehydrogenation. NiMoO₄ has the highest surface concentration of strong acid sites, and it binds adsorbed isobutene more strongly than the other catalysts

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane on cobalt,nickel, and manganese molybdates

The kinetics of oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane in the presence of atmospheric oxygen on manganese molybdate has been studied. The experiments have been carried out in a circulation flow reactor at 470–530°C. The form of kinetic equations and the mechanism of the formation of isobutene, carbon oxides, and cracking products on manganese molybdate are similar to those found previously for the same reaction on cobalt and nickel molybdates. The highest yields of isobutene and propene (isobutane cracking products) are achieved on Co_0.95MoO₄. The mechanism of the process has been investigated by the unsteady-state response method. Manganese molybdate contains the largest amount of reactive oxygen, whereas nickel molybdate contains the smallest amount of reactive oxygen. The earlier conclusion that molybdate lattice oxygen and chemisorbed oxygen play the main role in the formation of iso-C₄H₈ and in deep oxidation processes, respectively, is confirmed.     

An operando Raman study of molecular structure and reactivity of molybdenum(VI) oxide supported on anatase for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

Supported molybdenum oxide catalysts on TiO(2) (anatase) with surface densities in the range of 1.8-17.0 Mo per nm(2) were studied at temperatures of 410-480 °C for unraveling the configuration and molecular structure of the deposited (MoO(x))(n) species and examining their behavior for the ethane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH). In situ Raman and in situ FTIR spectra under oxidizing conditions combined with (18)O/(16)O isotope exchange studies provide the first sound evidence for mono-oxo configuration for the deposited (MoO(x))(n) species on anatase. Isolated O=Mo(-O-)(3) tetra-coordinated species in C(3v)-like symmetry prevail at all surface coverages with a low presence of associated (polymeric) species (probably penta-coordinated) evidenced at high coverages, below the approximate monolayer of 6 Mo per nm(2). A mechanistic scenario for (18)O/(16)O isotope exchange and next-nearest-neighbor vibrational isotope effect is proposed at the molecular level to account for the pertinent spectral observations. Catalytic measurements for ethane ODH with simultaneous monitoring of operando Raman spectra were performed. The selectivity to ethylene increases with increasing surface density up to the monolayer coverage, where primary steps of ethane activation follow selective reaction pathways leading to ～100% C(2)H(4) selectivity. The operando Raman spectra and a quantitative exploitation of the relative normalized Mo=O band intensities for surface densities of 1.8-5.9 Mo per nm(2) and various residence times show that the terminal Mo=O sites are involved in non-selective reaction turnovers. Reaction routes follow primarily non-selective pathways at low coverage and selective pathways at high coverage. Trends in the initial rates of ethane consumption (apparent reactivity per Mo) as a function of Mo surface density are discussed on the basis of several factors.

Oxidation of isobutane over hydrothermally synthesized Mo-V-Te-Nb-O mixed oxide catalysts

MoV_0.3Te_0.17 and MoV_0.3Te_0.17Nb_0.12 catalysts were prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis route and tested for the oxidation of isobutane and isobutene. Characterization results showed that the structure and property of Mo-V-Te-based catalysts are relatively different depending on the presence of the Nb element. Catalytic tests showed that the selectivity of methacrolein can comparatively be improved by the addition of Nb into the MoV_0.3Te_0.17 catalyst for the selective oxidation of isobutane.
