Online upgrading of organic vapors from the fast pyrolysis of biomass

The online upgrading process that combined the fast pyrolysis of biomass and catalytic cracking of bio-oil was developed to produce a high quality liquid product from the biomass. The installation consisted of a fluidized bed reactor for pyrolysis and a packed bed reactor for upgrading. The proper pyrolysis processing conditions with a temperature of 500℃ and a flow rate of 4m3·h-1 were determined in advance. Under such conditions, the effects of temperature and weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) on both the liquid yields and the oil qualities of the online catalytic cracking process were investigated. The results showed that such a combined process had the superiority of increasing the liquid yield and improving the product quality over the separate processes. Furthermore, when the temperature was 500℃, with a WHSV of 3h-1, the liquid yield reached the maximum and the oxygenic compounds also decreased obviously.     

Composite Polymer/Oxide Hollow Fiber Contactors: Versatile and Scalable Flow Reactors for Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions in Organic Synthesis

Flexible composite polymer/oxide hollow fibers are used as flow reactors for heterogeneously catalyzed reactions in organic synthesis. The fiber synthesis allows for a variety of supported catalysts to be embedded in the walls of the fibers, thus leading to a diverse set of reactions that can be catalyzed in flow. Additionally, the fiber synthesis is scalable (e.g. several reactor beds containing many fibers in a module may be used) and thus they could potentially be used for the large‐scale production of organic compounds. Incorporating heterogeneous catalysts in the walls of the fibers presents an alternative to a traditional packed‐bed reactor and avoids large pressure drops, which is a crucial challenge when employing microreactors.     

Screening heterogeneous catalysts for the pyrolysis of lignin

The pyrolytic conversion of pure lignin at 600 °C in flowing helium over five catalysts is described and compared to the control bed material, sand. Product distribution as char, liquid, and gas are described as well as the composition of the liquid and gas fractions. The catalysts examined were HZSM-5, KZSM-5, Al-MCM-41, solid phosphoric acid, and a hydrotreating catalyst, (Co/Mo/Al₂O₃). The sand yielded a liquid phase that was 97% oxygenated aromatics and a gas phase that was CO (18 vol%), CO₂ (16 vol%), and CH₄ (12 vol%). HZSM-5 was the best catalyst for producing a deoxygenated liquid fraction yielded almost equal amounts of simple aromatics (46.7%) and naphthalenic ring compounds (46.2%). The gas phase over this catalyst consisted of CO (22 vol%), CO₂ (14 vol%), H₂ (12 vol%), and CH₄ (10 vol%). The Co/Mo/Al₂O₃ hydrotreating catalyst yielded a liquid consisting of 21% aromatics, 4% naphthalenics, and 75% oxygenated aromatics and a gas phase that was rich in hydrogen: H₂ (18 vol%), CO₂ (16 vol%), CO (12 vol%), and CH₄ (8 vol%).     

Enhancement of distillate selectivity in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis by using iron and cobalt catalysts in a novel dual-bed reactor ?

Summary An integrated process for producing liquid fuels from synthesis gas via a two-stage Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction is disclosed. An iron catalyst was used in the first bed of a fixed-bed reactor followed by a ruthenium promoted cobalt catalyst in the second bed. The activity and selectivity of the dual-bed system were assessed and compared with those using catalysts in a single bed system, separately. The methane selectivity in the dual-bed reactor was about 11% less compared to that of the single-bed system. The C₅⁺ selectivity for the dual-bed reactor was 19.7% higher than that of the single-bed system.     

Study on the Pyrolysis of Cellulose for Bio-Oil with Mesoporous Molecular Sieve Catalysts

Mesoporous materials possess a hexagonal array of uniform mesopores, high surface areas, and moderate acidity. They are one of the important catalysts in the field of catalytic pyrolysis. In this paper, mesoporous materials of Al-MCM-41, La-Al-MCM-41, and Ce-Al-MCM-41 were synthesized, characterized, and tested as catalysts in the cellulose catalytic pyrolysis process using a fixed bed pyrolysis reactor. The results showed that mesoporous materials exhibited a strong influence on the pyrolytic behavior of cellulose. The presence of these mesoporous molecular sieve catalysts could vary the yield of products, which was that they could decrease the yield of liquid and char and increase the yield of gas product, and could promote high-carbon chain compounds to break into low-carbon chain compounds. Mesoporous molecular sieve catalysts were benefit to the reaction of dehydrogenation and deoxidation and the breakdown of carbon chain. Further, La-Al-MCM-41 and Ce-Al-MCM-41 catalysts can produce more toluene and 2-methoxy-phenol, as compared to the non-catalytic runs.

Mixing-cell method for design of trickle-bed reactors

The performance of a trickle bed is analyzed in terms of a mixing-cell concept in which the three-phase reactor is visualized as a number of mixing cells in series. Results are presented for an isothermal system involving a reaction of general-order kinetics and incorporating all mass transfer resistances. Limiting cases of very slow, and rapid, gas—liquid mass transfer are also considered. The utility of the new model is illustrated with an application to the oxidation of formic acid and by using the method to compare the performance of slurry and trickle-bed reactors.     

Destruction of Styrene in an Air Stream by Packed Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactors

This study presents the decomposition rates of styrene vapors with non-packed and packed bed dielectric barrier discharge reactors. The concentrations of intermediate byproducts at various plasma operation conditions were evaluated. The results showed that although styrene vapors could be almost completely removed at low styrene inlet concentration of 132 ppm, the selectivity of CO₂ as the major product was rather low in a non-packed bed reactor. It was found that solid carbon containing compound was the major byproduct. An increase in the styrene inlet concentration tended to reduce the styrene removal efficiency, it also led to increase in the solid byproduct. The reactors that packed with glass, Al₂O₃ or Pt–Pd /Al₂O₃ pellets could improve the styrene decomposition efficiency and reduce the formation of intermediate products, of which the best oxidation of styrene to CO₂ could be achieved with a Pt–Pd /Al₂O₃ packed bed reactor. The carbon byproducts could also be reduced if the rector length was increased. The concentrations of ozone formed during the plasma process were also evaluated for the non-packed and packed bed reactors. The plasma reactor that packed with Pt–Pd /Al₂O₃ pellets was proved to have the lowest O₃ concentration.     

Catalytical and thermal pyrolysis of polyolefins

Polyolefins have a high potential for alternative oil production since they contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. By pyrolysis of these materials up to 95% can be obtained as oil and gas. Upgrading the products by catalytic cracking of polyolefins is a subject of growing interest in the last years as less energy is needed for the pyrolysis and more valuable products are formed. Numerous studies have been reported in which a variety of catalysts such as zeolites, silica-alumina, mesoporous MCM-41, solid acids and reaction conditions have been investigated. In our studies we used Lewis acids and mixtures of Ziegler–Natta catalyst such as TiCl₄, AlCl₃ to pyrolyse polypropylene. Experiments were carried out in a batch reactor as well as in a fluidized bed process. The pyrolysis temperature can be decreased by 100 °C compared to runs without catalysts. A drastic increase in the amount of low boiling compounds (C4 hydrocarbons) can be observed by the use of the catalysts instead of longer chained hydrocarbons.     

Novel dual-bed reactors: utilization of hydrogen spillover in reactor design

Hydrogen spillover over macroscopic distances was demonstrated and exploited in the design of two novel catalytic reactors for 1-butene isomerization. A dual-bed reactor containing separate zones of noble metal and bimetallic catalysts yielded activities up to 2.7 times greater than that of the noble metal alone. The noble metal catalyst contained palladium supported on graphitic carbon. The bimetallic catalyst contained a base metal, either iron or cobalt, and a lanthanide metal, either cerium or praseodymium, also supported on graphitic carbon. The bimetallic catalysts by themselves had no measurable activity at the current experimental conditions. Results from a dual-bed, dual-feed reactor using the same catalysts showed dramatic activity increases relative to controls. In this reactor, the hydrocarbon never contacted the noble metal catalyst, yet substantial hydrocarbon conversion was measured. No hydrocarbon conversion was detected when blank support replaced the bimetallic catalyst or when no material at all was placed above the noble metal catalyst. In both reactors, the activity increase was attributed to hydrogen spillover. That is, molecular hydrogen adsorbed and dissociated on the noble metal catalyst. The adsorbed atomic hydrogen was then transported via surface diffusion to the bimetallic catalyst, activating those sites. The results also demonstrated that a catalytic reaction may occur at distinctly different reactive sites and that catalysts may be selected to promote specific steps within the reaction.

Condensed Mode Cooling of Ethylene Polymerization in Fluidized Bed Reactors

This review gives an overview of the evolution of the technology of condensed mode cooling, primarily for the case of ethylene polymerization on supported catalysts in fluidized bed reactors. It is well known that this mode of heat removal is quite effective in allowing polyolefin manufacturers to increase significantly production rates. What is perhaps less well understood are all of the issues that, in addition to the effect of the latent heat of vaporization of injected liquid components, also have an impact on the rate of production and behavior of the reactor. However, the liquid components injected into the reactor can vaporize rapidly under full‐scale conditions, leaving behind several heavy components (with respect to ethylene) that have numerous effects on how the particles behave, on the reaction rate, and on fluidization, fouling, and other parameters related to reactor and process performance.     

固定床反应器参数灵敏性与失控分析

含氮合成气在三相淤浆床-固定床中直接合成二甲醚

在三相淤浆床－固定床反应装置中,研究含氮合成气直接合成二甲醚。使用双功能混合催化剂,粒度为0.15 mm～0.18 mm。在220 ℃～260 ℃、3.0 MPa～7.0 MPa、空速1 000 mL·g-1·h-1时考察了温度、压力及两种反应器中催化剂的装填比例对CO转化率及二甲醚选择性的影响。结果表明,一氧化碳转化率随反应压力的增加而提高,随着温度升高二甲醚的选择性变化不大,CO转化率的升高较明显,因此在催化剂活性适宜的温度范围内,该反应装置可以采用较高的反应温度。当260 ℃、7.0 MPa、三相床与固定床中催化剂比例为1∶1时,CO的转化率可达84.5％,二甲醚的选择性为78.7％。淤浆床－固定床反应装置具有操作稳定性好、CO转化率高的优点。催化剂在该装置中反应370 h活性没有明显下降。     

Removal of As(III) and As(V) by natural and synthetic metal oxides

The removal properties of As(III) and As(V) by the several metal oxides having different mineral type and content of metals were investigated in batch and column reactors. The used metal oxides were Fe-oxide loaded sand (ILS), Mn-oxide loaded sand (MLS), activated alumina (AA), sericite (SC) and iron sand (IS). From the pH-edge adsorption experiments with AA and ILS, maximum As(III) adsorption was observed around neutral pH while As(V) adsorption was followed an anionic-type behavior. Among five metal oxides, AA showed the greatest removal capacity for both As(III) and As(V) through adsoption process but it has little oxidation capacity for As(III). Eventhough IS had much greater content of Fe-oxides than ILS, it showed a relatively lower removal capacity for both As(III) and As(V). This result suggests that adsorption of arsenic onto metal oxides is controlled by not only the contents of Fe-oxides but also mineral type of Fe-oxides. Column tests were performed at different combinations of metal oxides in a column reactor to find the best column system, which effectively treat both As(III) and As(V) at the same time. Among several combinations, the column reactors packed with MLS-AA and MLS-ILS showed a near complete oxidation of As(III) by MLS for a long time and the greatest adsorption of total arsenic compared to the column reactor packed with MLS-IS.     

不同金属改性对Pt/β-分子筛催化柴油车尾气中HC、CO及SO_2氧化性能的影响

采用共浸渍法制备了Ce、Cr、Mo和Cu改性的Pt/β-分子筛催化剂,运用氮吸附、XRD、H_2-TPR、NH_3-TPD和XPS等手段对该催化剂进行了表征,研究了不同金属改性对催化剂的织构性质、骨架结构、表面酸性以及在模拟柴油车尾气中抑制SO_2氧化性能和催化HC、CO氧化活性的影响。结果表明,金属改性对催化剂织构性能和骨架结构影响较小。Cr、Mo和Cu的添加可以调变催化剂酸强度,进而抑制SO_2的氧化;Cu改性的催化剂具有最好的抑制SO_2氧化的能力,在350和450℃条件下,与未改性Pt/β-分子筛催化剂相比,Cu改性催化剂上SO_2转化率分别下降了70.4%和70.2%。然而,改性金属与Pt物种之间产生的相互作用,会使Pt物种更难还原,导致Pt对HC和CO氧化的催化活性降低。     

Characterization of glucoamylase immobilized on celite

Immobilization of glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) on Celite R649 bio-catalyst carrier for hydrolysis of maltose and maltodextrin has been investigated in both packed bed and recirculated batch reactors. The kinetics parameters on the hydrolysis of maltose were estimated from the packed bed reactor. It is found that this immobilized enzyme is as efficient as the soluble enzyme in catalyzing hydrolysis of maltose. However, it is less efficient than the soluble enzyme in hydrolyzing 30% (w/v) maltodextrin, giving a maximum dextrose equivalent (DE) value of 96.0% instead of 98.2%.     

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of jatropha wastes

In this work, the decomposition behaviors of jatropha wastes (husk, seed shell and branch) have been examined in order to get desired liquid organic compounds, but not undesired inorganic compounds such as CO, CO₂, water and coke. The jatropha wastes exhibit a stepwise degradation pathway which has a slight difference in between samples before and after milling. In the preliminary pyrolysis using quartz reactor and H-ZSM-5(30) catalyst, the liquid products selectivity was seed shell > blanch > husk > seed shell (no catalyst). In the absence of catalyst, the Py-GC/MS analyses for pyrolysis of jatropha wastes show a range of aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, alcohols and ketones, acids and esters, ethers and aldehydes. Aromatics are predominantly formed above 90% of area percentage by use of catalyst. Of aromatic compounds, xylenes, naphthalenes and toluene are mainly produced. The product selectivity is dependent on both the size of the catalyst pores and the nature of the active sites and one candidate is H-ZSM-5 and the other candidate is β-zeolite. The reaction pathway involves dehydrogenation and dehydroaromatization of aliphatic oxygenates such as alkylcyclohexanol and higher carboxylic acids to form phenol derivatives, which undergo hydrodeoxygenation into toluene and xylenes, followed by dehydroaromatization to give naphthalenes.
