Catalytic effect of lucunary heteropolyanion containing molybdenum and tungsten atoms on decolorization of direct blue 71

In this research,a lucunary Keggin structure,[PMo₂W₉O₃₉]^7- was selected as an efficient homogenous catalyst for degradation of an azo dye（direct blue 71） and a simple method was developed for degradation of DB71.The method is based on the oxidation of azo dye in the presence of a lucunary Keggin form of polyoxometalates,K₇[PMo₂W₉O₃₉]? 19H₂O,as a homogenous catalyst at room temperature.The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of dye atλ=585 nm.Some parameters including concentration of catalyst,concentration of H₂O₂,pH and reaction time were investigated and optimized. Results show that K₇[PMo₂W₉O₃₉]? 19H₂O is more efficient in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.Degradation of dye in the presence of the catalyst and H₂O₂ could lead to the disappearance approximately 65%of dye after 60 min.But degradation for the same experiment performed in the absence of catalyst or in the absence of H₂O₂ was 22%or 5%respectively.Approximately 87% azo dyes has been eliminated after 90 min in the presence of catalyst,H₂O₂ and optimize conditions(0.6 g/L of K₇[PMo_2- W₉O₃₉H₉H₂O,0.08 mol/L hydrogen peroxide and room temperature).

Methane conversion under cold plasma over Pd-containing ionic liquids immobilized on γ-Al2O3

Pd-containing ionic liquid（IL） 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate（C₆MIMBF₄） immobilized on 7-Al₂O₃（Pd-IL/γ-Al₂O₃） was prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET） analysis.The influences of C₆MIMBF₄ loading and Pd on methane conversion to C₂ hydrocarbons under cold plasma were investigated.FTIR and SEM analyses indicated that C₆MIMBF₄ had been successfully immobilized on 7-Al₂O₃ and the C₆MIMBF₄ showed excellent stability under cold plasma.The results of BET and methane conversion showed that with the increase in immobilization amount of C₆MIMBF₄ ontoγ-Al₂O₃,the specific surface area and pore volume of IL/γ-Al₂O₃ decreased,while the selectivity and yield of C₂ hydrocarbons increased.The selectivity of C₂ hydrocarbons was 94.6%when the loading of C₆MIMBF₄ was 40%,and the percentage of C₂H₄ in C₂ hydrocarbons was as high as 64%when using Pd-IL/γ-Al₂O₃ as a catalyst with no conventional thermal reduction treatment. Optical emission spectra（OES） from the cold plasma reactor during methane conversion were also studied.The results indicated that the intensity of the C₂,CH,H,and C active species from methane and hydrogen decomposition increased when IL/γ-Al₂O₃ or Pd-IL/γ-Al₂O₃ was introduced into the plasma system.Based on the analyses of the gas product and OES spectra,it can be concluded that the surface catalyzed reactions between plasma and ionic liquid were very important for the reduction of Pd²⁺ and the formation of C₂H₄.     

The carbonylation of phenyl bromide and its derivatives under visible light irradiation

The carbonylation of phenyl bromide catalyzed by Co（OAc）₂ has been investigated with PhCOPh as a sensitizer under visible light in the presence of basic additive.With strong base CH₃ONa,PhCOOCH₃ is produced in 70%yield with 100%selectivity,the similar results are also obtained with a stronger base（CH₃）₃CONa.However,with another strong base NaOH,the yield of the ester is only 40%.On the other hand,with weak base NaOAc or（n-C₄H₉）₃N,phenyl bromide cannot be carbonylated.The results of carbonylation of the six substituted phenyl bromides suggest that the activities of o,m,p-BrC₆H₄CH₃ are similar to phenyl bromide, while the activities of o,m,p-BrC₆H₄Cl are higher with the high yields（≥93%） of the corresponding chloro-esters.In addition,the relative position of bromine and chlorine or methyl on phenyl ring has little effect on the activity of the carbonylation.
