多相催化时空演变的全生命周期表征策略

可持续发展的化学工业需要新型高效的催化材料和催化过程,尤其需要生态友好、本质安全的新催化过程,其本质是提高合适反应器内催化剂的选择性、活性和稳定性.因此,通过原位技术实时表征反应状态下的催化剂结构并同步测试催化性能,有助于全面研究真实反应条件下催化剂及其表面物种随时间的演变过程,深入理解催化剂构效关系的本质,为开发新一代催化技术提供科学依据.迄今,在实际催化体系中实现催化剂从活化、运行到失活的全生命周期表征仍存在巨大挑战.本文综述了分子筛、金属、金属氧化物三类典型催化剂在甲醇制烯烃、费托合成、丙烷脱氢等催化反应中的全生命周期时空演变,分析了所采用的表征研究策略,以期为新型工业催化的应用基础研究提供启示.据文献报道,甲醇制烯烃反应案例主要利用了原位紫外-可见光谱和固态核磁共振光谱等获得SAPO-34分子筛催化剂从诱导期、自催化期到失活期的表面烃池物种性质和动态演变;费托合成反应案例主要利用了同步辐射X射线衍射计算机断层扫描和X射线吸收光谱等技术研究单个毫米级Co/γ-Al2O3催化剂颗粒在还原条件和费托合成条件下的催化剂结构演变;丙烷脱氢反应案例主要结合原位的紫外-可见和拉曼光纤探头分析了CrOx/Al2O3催化剂在700 ml固定床反应器中不同床层积炭的时空演变.这些研究案例表明,因受限于表征仪器的时空分辨率和适用工况,多数重要的催化反应尚未完全实现工业条件下的全生命周期表征;但通过合理简化非关键变量,可以获得近似工业条件下的多相催化时空演变规律,这些原位表征研究拓展了多相催化的新认识新发现.着眼未来,近似工业反应条件的原位表征、多尺度的原位表征装置设计、反应条件下的计算模拟等策略将在催化研发中发挥重要作用.这些全生命周期表征策略反映了催化研究范式的转变,但将其应用于工业实践仍面临许多科学和工程的挑战.从实际应用角度看,还需综合考虑原位表征技术的成本、安全性和准确性,重视催化剂颗粒及反应器尺度的原位表征,不断推进新型催化剂的研发.     

合成甲醇反应中CO_2和微量O_2的作用以及反应机理的研究

本文采用TPD-MS联用,“原位”X-射线衍射和原位红外光谱等实验技术以及催化反应动力学装置,对合成甲醇反应CO_2和微量O_2的作用进行了深入研究。当CO_2浓度在1.0—8.0%范围内,可使甲醇合成反应速率加快。合成反应中适量O_2的作用是在反应过程中先转变为CO_2或吸附态CO_2,然后反应在含适量CO_2的合成气氛下进行。对CO_2的作用机制得出了明确的结论,并对CO_2存在下的多途径反应机理进行了探讨。根据实验结果和理论分析,提出反应气氛中CO_2浓度在1.3%左右,即可维持高反应速率和催化剂的稳定性,以可降低甲醇中的水含量。此结果对改进合成甲醇工艺有参考价值。     

制备方法对Cr/Si-2催化剂在CO2氧化乙烷脱氢制乙烯反应中的催化性能的影响

采用直接水热合成法和浸渍法制备了相同Cr含量的Cr/Si-2催化剂,并在常压固定床微反应器上,考察了它们在CO2或者N2气氛下的乙烷脱氢制乙烯反应中的催化性能及稳定性.由于存在逆水煤气反应和Boudouard反应,CO2能显著促进乙烷的脱氢反应.不论是在CO2还是在N2气氛下,直接水热法制备的催化剂均比浸渍法制备的催化剂显示出更好的催化性能.高价态的Cr物种被认为是催化剂具有高活性的关键.在CO2气氛下的乙烷脱氢制乙烯反应中,浸渍法制备的催化剂比水热法制备的催化剂失活更快,催化剂失活速率的差异可能与它们的氧化还原性质有关.然而在N2气氛下的乙烷脱氢制乙烯反应中,这两种方法制备的催化剂失活速率差异不大.

Kinetics of heterogeneous free-radical polymerization of vinylidene chloride

Poly(vinylidene chloride) precipitates as a crystalline phase during the polymerization reaction. Under the conditions studied, this phase is made up of complex particles with a lamellar substructure. The detailed morphology is very sensitive to reaction medium. The morphology developed by particles formed during polymerization of vinylidene chloride in dioxane suggests a mechanism of polymerization followed by crystallization. The morphology observed in mass polymerization suggests that both processes occurs simultaneously. Kinetic data, however, suggest a solid-phase reaction mechanism for both cases. The results are analyzed by comparison with a model that takes into account the solid-phase morphology. The theoretical analysis is consistent with experimental results if it is assumed that polymerization occurs on the edges of the lamellar crystals.     

The role of the phase quasiequilibrium in the reaction system chlorotriorganosilane—water—acetone

On the basis of analysis of product composition in the hydrolytic polycondensation (HPC) of chlorotriorganosilanes, the parameters of the kinetic and the diffusion field, the zone of the reaction, and the region of the conodes of the phase diagrams are determined. It is suggested that the conodes correspond to a phase quasiequilibrium, which defines the composition of the reaction products. The results of this investigation confirm the previously discovered features of HPC of dichloromethylphenylsilanes: the formation of the siloxane bond during the hydrolysis of chloroorganosilanes by water mainly occurs in the organic phase of the system and proceeds as the heterofunctional polycondensation of the reaction products with the starting chloroorganosilanes. The role of the phase quasiequilibrium consists of the creation of a field of reagent concentration, based on which one can control the composition of the reaction products.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Gas phase transport of gold with gold(III) oxide and carbon monoxide

A transport reaction of gold occurs during the reaction of Au2O3 with CO at temperatures around 400 degrees C. The reaction proceeds through a short-lived gas phase species of Au; analysis of quartz powder substrates placed downstream of the AU2O3 indicates volatilisation yields of a few wt% AU2O3.     

Phase separation during fast (RIM) poly-urethane polymerization

Phase separation dynamics during a reaction injection molding process of an elastomeric polyurethane was studied via FT-IR and rheology. 4, 4′ methylenediphenyl isocyanate and 1, 4 butanediol were mixed with 50 wt% of a 2000 molecular weight poly(proplyene oxide)polyol catalyzed by dibutyltin dilaurate. A small reaction injection molding machine was used to impingement mix the chemicals and inject these directly into a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer or into a rheometer. The reaction conversion was followed by the isocyanate absorbance and the development of inter-urethane hydrogen bonding was related to phase separation dynamics. Isothermal dynamic mechanical modulus build-up during reaction was monitored by a thin gap parallel plate geometry subjected to small amplitude oscillation. An optimum reaction temperature was found, below which phase separation prematurely cuts off high molecular weight build up. Above this temperature phase separation is too slow and incomplete; modulus values are lower. Increasing catalyst reduces this optimum temperature.

Investigation of the Influence of Diffusion Control on the Curing Reaction Using DSC and Temperature Modulated DSC

The curing reaction of a thermosetting system is investigated by DSC and temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC). When the material vitrifies during curing, the reaction becomes diffusion controlled. The phase shift signal measured by TMDSC includes direct information on the reaction kinetics. For long periods the phase shift is approximately proportional to the partial temperature derivative of the reaction rate. This signal is very sensitive for changes in the reaction kinetics. In the present paper an approach to determine the diffusion control influence on the reaction kinetics from the measured phase shift is developed. The results are compared with experimental data. Further applications of this method for other reactions are proposed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The ternary system propyl propanoate+ hexane+chlorobenzene at 298.15 k

Differential thermal analysis shows many interesting properties that allow for prompt finding the place (p,T) and characteristics (endothermic, exothermic) of a phase transition or chemical reaction. In application to reactive sintering under active gas atmosphere at high pressure despite of numerous technical problems encountered during DTA measurements we found its unique possibilities. That allows for quantitative estimation of nitrogen involved in reaction of phase transition from the hexagonal phase to the cubic phase of MoN, and vice versa, in high gas pressure condition. DTA high gas pressure measurement system has the maximum operate temperature 2000°Cat pressure 2 GPa. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal degradation of nadic methyl anhydride-crosslinked novolac epoxy resin

The physicochemical high-temperature reactions of a nadic methyl anhydride-cross-linked novolac epoxy resin were investigated by means of differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and by other analytical procedures. The thermogravimetric study revealed that decomposition involving weight loss occurred in two stages. Chemical analysis showed that the major gaseous products formed during weight loss were 2-methylcyclopentadiene, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The formation of a fine mist of solid particles was observed during the second stage of degradation. Changing various experimental parameters affected the degradation processes. The kinetics of degradation were also investigated. The method of Freeman and Carroll was used to find that a zero-order rate law was followed at the beginning of both first and second stages of reaction. The activation energy associated with the major portion of the first stage of weight loss was 15 kcal/mole. There was good agreement between the observed reaction rates and the reaction rates calculated from a theoretical model which depended on desorption as the rate-controlling step. The activation energy for the beginning of the second stage of weight loss was 24 kcal/mole. By using DTA, the heat of exothermal reaction during this latter phase of decomposition was evaluated as 65 cal/g.     

Highly selective ethylbenzene production through alkylation of dilute ethylene with gas phase-liquid phase benzene and transalkylation feed

A novel industrial process was designed for the highly selective production of ethylbenzene.It comprised of a reactor vessel,vapor phase ethylene feed stream,benzene and transalkylation feed stream.Especially the product stream containing ethylbenzene was used to heat the reactor vessel,which consisted of an alkylation section,an upper heat exchange section,and a bottom heat exchange section.In such a novel reactor,vapor phase benzene and liquid phase benzene were coexisted due to the heat produced by isothermal reaction between the upper heat exchange section and the bottom heat exchange section.The process was demonstrated by the thermodynamic analysis and experimental results.In fact,during the 1010 hour-life-test of gas phase ethene with gas phase-liquid phase benzene alkylation reaction,the ethene conversion was above 95%,and the ethylbenzene selectivity was above 83% (only benzene feed) and even higher than 99% (benzene plus transalkylation feed).At the same time,the xylene content in the ethylbenzene was less than 100 ppm when the reaction was carried out under the reaction conditions of 140-185℃ of temperature,1.6-2.1 MPa of pressure,3.0-5.5 of benzene/ethylene mole ratio,4-6 v% of transalkylation feed/(benzene+transalkylation feed),0.19-0.27 h-1 of ethene space velocity,and 1000 g of 3998 catalyst loaded.Thus,compared with the conventional ethylbenzene synthesis route,the transalkylation reactor could be omitted in this novel Industrial process.     

The role of Pd nanoparticles in ionic liquid in the Heck reaction

Pd(0) nanoparticles with approximately 2 nm diameter, immobilized in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid, are efficient catalyst precursors for coupling of aryl halides with n-butylacrylate. In situ TEM analysis of the ionic liquid catalytic solution after the catalytic reaction shows the formation of larger nanoparticles ( approximately 6 nm). The palladium content in the organic phase during the arylation reaction was checked by ICP-AS and shows significant metal leaching (up 34%) from the ionic phase to the organic phase at low substrate conversions and drops to 5-8% leaching at higher conversions. These results strongly suggest that the Pd(0) nanoparticles serve as a reservoir of "homogeneous" catalytic active species.
