Promoter effect on the CO2-H2O formation during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on iron-based catalysts

The effects of Mg, La and Ca promoters on primary and secondary CO_2 and H_2O formation pathways during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on precipitated Fe/Cu/SiO_2 catalysts are investigated. The chemisorbed oxygen atoms in the primary pathway formed in the CO dissociation steps reacted with co-adsorbed hydrogen or carbon monoxide to produce H_2O and CO_2 , respectively. The secondary pathway was the water-gas shift reaction. The results indicated that the CO_2 production led to an increase in both primary and secondary pathways, and H_2 O production decreased when surface basicity of the catalyst increased in the order Ca >Mg >La.

Kinetics of the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Isobutance over Cr2o3／La2（CO3）3

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of isobutane over Cr2O3/La2(CO3)3 has been investi- gated in a low-pressure Knudsen cell reactor, under conditions where the kinetics of the primary reaction steps can be accurately determined. By heating the catalyst at a constant rate from 150-300oC, temper- ature uctuations due to non-equilibrium adsorption are minimized. The evolved gas profiles show that ODH to isobutene and water is a primary reaction pathway, while carbon dioxide, which forms from the catalyst during reaction, is the only other product. This CO2 evolution may enhance the activity of the catalyst. Isobutene formation proceeds with the participation of lattice oxygen from the Cr2O3/La2(CO3)3 catalyst. The small pre-exponential factor is expected for a concerted mechanism and for such a catalyst with a small surface area and limited porosity.

A kinetic study of Mg+ and Mg-containing ions reacting with O3, O2, N2, CO2, N2O and H2O: implications for magnesium ion chemistry in the upper atmosphere

Reactions between Mg(+) and O(3), O(2), N(2), CO(2) and N(2)O were studied using the pulsed laser photo-dissociation at 193 nm of Mg(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2) vapour, followed by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence of Mg(+) at 279.6 nm (Mg(+)(3(2)P(3/2)-3(2)S(1/2))). The rate coefficient for the reaction Mg(+) + O(3) is at the Langevin capture rate coefficient and independent of temperature, k(190-340 K) = (1.17 ± 0.19) × 10(-9) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) (1σ error). The reaction MgO(+) + O(3) is also fast, k(295 K) = (8.5 ± 1.5) × 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), and produces Mg(+) + 2O(2) with a branching ratio of (0.35 ± 0.21), the major channel forming MgO(2)(+) + O(2). Rate data for Mg(+) recombination reactions yielded the following low-pressure limiting rate coefficients: k(Mg(+) + N(2)) = 2.7 × 10(-31) (T/300 K)(-1.88); k(Mg(+) + O(2)) = 4.1 × 10(-31) (T/300 K)(-1.65); k(Mg(+) + CO(2)) = 7.3 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-1.59); k(Mg(+) + N(2)O) = 1.9 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-2.51) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1), with 1σ errors of ±15%. Reactions involving molecular Mg-containing ions were then studied at 295 K by the pulsed laser ablation of a magnesite target in a fast flow tube, with mass spectrometric detection. Rate coefficients for the following ligand-switching reactions were measured: k(Mg(+)·CO(2) + H(2)O → Mg(+)·H(2)O + CO(2)) = (5.1 ± 0.9) × 10(-11); k(MgO(2)(+) + H(2)O → Mg(+)·H(2)O + O(2)) = (1.9 ± 0.6) × 10(-11); k(Mg(+)·N(2) + O(2)→ Mg(+)·O(2) + N(2)) = (3.5 ± 1.5) × 10(-12) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). Low-pressure limiting rate coefficients were obtained for the following recombination reactions in He: k(MgO(2)(+) + O(2)) = 9.0 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-3.80); k(Mg(+)·CO(2) + CO(2)) = 2.3 × 10(-29) (T/300 K)(-5.08); k(Mg(+)·H(2)O + H(2)O) = 3.0 × 10(-28) (T/300 K)(-3.96); k(MgO(2)(+) + N(2)) = 4.7 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-3.75); k(MgO(2)(+) + CO(2)) = 6.6 × 10(-29) (T/300 K)(-4.18); k(Mg(+)·H(2)O + O(2)) = 1.2 × 10(-27) (T/300 K)(-4.13) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1). The implications of these results for magnesium ion chemistry in the atmosphere are discussed.

The intrinsic Arrhenius rate constant for the ODH of isobutane isk(s-1) = 1011.5±2.2exp{-((55 ± 5) - △Hads kJmol-1)/RT}The small pre-exponential factor is expected for a concerted mechanism and for such a catalyst with asmall surface area and limited porosity.     

Experimental investigation of the complete inner shell hydration energies of Ca2+: threshold collision-induced dissociation of Ca(2+)(H2O)x Complexes (x = 2-8)

The sequential bond energies of Ca(2+)(H(2)O)(x) complexes, where x = 1-8, are measured by threshold collision-induced dissociation (TCID) in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. From an electrospray ionization source that produces an initial distribution of Ca(2+)(H(2)O)(x) complexes where x = 6-8, complexes down to x = 2 are formed using an in-source fragmentation technique. Ca(2+)(H(2)O) cannot be formed in this source because charge separation into CaOH(+) and H(3)O(+) is a lower energy pathway than simple water loss from Ca(2+)(H(2)O)(2). The kinetic energy dependent cross sections for dissociation of Ca(2+)(H(2)O)(x) complexes, where x = 2-9, are examined over a wide energy range to monitor all dissociation products and are modeled to obtain 0 and 298 K binding energies. Analysis of both primary and secondary water molecule losses from each sized complex provides thermochemistry for the sequential hydration energies of Ca(2+) for x = 1-8 and the first experimental values for x = 1-4. Additionally, the thermodynamic onsets leading to the charge separation products from Ca(2+)(H(2)O)(2) and Ca(2+)(H(2)O)(3) are determined for the first time. Our experimental results for x = 1-6 agree well with previously calculated binding enthalpies as well as quantum chemical calculations performed here. Agreement for x = 1 is improved when the basis set on calcium includes core correlation.     

CO2 adsorption in mono-, di- and trivalent cation-exchanged metal-organic frameworks: a molecular simulation study

A molecular simulation study is reported for CO(2) adsorption in rho zeolite-like metal-organic framework (rho-ZMOF) exchanged with a series of cations (Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), and Al(3+)). The isosteric heat and Henry's constant at infinite dilution increase monotonically with increasing charge-to-diameter ratio of cation (Cs(+) < Rb(+) < K(+) < Na(+) < Ca(2+) < Mg(2+) < Al(3+)). At low pressures, cations act as preferential adsorption sites for CO(2) and the capacity follows the charge-to-diameter ratio. However, the free volume of framework becomes predominant with increasing pressure and Mg-rho-ZMOF appears to possess the highest saturation capacity. The equilibrium locations of cations are observed to shift slightly upon CO(2) adsorption. Furthermore, the adsorption selectivity of CO(2)/H(2) mixture increases as Cs(+) < Rb(+) < K(+) < Na(+) < Ca(2+) < Mg(2+) ≈ Al(3+). At ambient conditions, the selectivity is in the range of 800-3000 and significantly higher than in other nanoporous materials. In the presence of 0.1% H(2)O, the selectivity decreases drastically because of the competitive adsorption between H(2)O and CO(2), and shows a similar value in all of the cation-exchanged rho-ZMOFs. This simulation study provides microscopic insight into the important role of cations in governing gas adsorption and separation, and suggests that the performance of ionic rho-ZMOF can be tailored by cations.     

A kinetic study of Ca-containing ions reacting with O, O2, CO2 and H2O: implications for calcium ion chemistry in the upper atmosphere

A series of gas-phase reactions involving molecular Ca-containing ions was studied by the pulsed laser ablation of a calcite target to produce Ca(+) in a fast flow of He, followed by the addition of reagents downstream and detection of ions by quadrupole mass spectrometry. Most of the reactions that were studied are important for describing the chemistry of meteor-ablated calcium in the earth's upper atmosphere. The following rate coefficients were measured: k(CaO(+) + O --> Ca(+) + O(2)) = (4.2 +/- 2.8) x 10(-11) at 197 K and (6.3 +/- 3.0) x 10(-11) at 294 K; k(CaO(+) + CO --> Ca(+) + CO(2), 294 K) = (2.8 +/- 1.5) x 10(-10); k(Ca(+).CO(2) + O(2) --> CaO(2)(+) + CO(2), 294 K) = (1.2 +/- 0.5) x10(-10); k(Ca(+).CO(2) + H(2)O --> Ca(+).H(2)O + CO(2)) = (13.0 +/- 4.0) x 10(-10); and k(Ca(+).H(2)O + O(2) --> CaO(2)(+) + H(2)O, 294 K) = (4.0 +/- 2.5) x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The quoted uncertainties are a combination of the 1sigma standard errors in the kinetic data and the systematic errors in the models used to extract the rate coefficients. Rate coefficients were also obtained for the following recombination (also termed association) reactions in He bath gas: k(Ca(+).CO(2) + CO(2) --> Ca(+).(CO(2))(2), 294 K) = (2.6 +/- 1.0) x 10(-29); k(Ca(+).H(2)O + H(2)O --> Ca(+).(H(2)O)(2)) = (1.6 +/- 1.1) x 10(-27); and k(CaO(2)(+) + O(2) --> CaO(2)(+).O(2)) < 1 x 10(-31) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1). These recombination rate coefficients, as well as those for the ligand-switching reactions listed above, were then interpreted using a combination of high level quantum chemistry calculations and RRKM theory using an inverse Laplace transform solution of the master equation. The surprisingly slow reaction between CaO(+) and O was explained using quantum chemistry calculations on the lowest (2)A', (2)A' and (4)A' potential energy surfaces. These calculations indicate that reaction mostly occurs on the (2)A' surface, leading to production of Ca(+)((2)S) + O(2)((1)Delta(g)). The importance of this reaction for controlling the lifetime of Ca(+) in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere is then discussed.     

Formation of phosphino-substituted isocyanate by reaction of CO2 with group 2 complexes based on the (Me3Si)(i-Pr2P)NH ligand

The group 2 complexes [(Me(3)Si)(i-Pr(2)P)N](2)M(THF)(x) (M = Mg, x = 1; M = Ca/Sr, x = 2) as well as an unusual dimagnesium complex {[(Me(3)Si)(i-Pr(2)P)N](3)Mg}Mg(n-C(4)H(9)) have been prepared and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Each complex was shown to react with CO(2) under extremely mild conditions (15 min, 1 atm, room temperature) to give the isocyanate (i-Pr)(2)P-N═C═O. The independent syntheses of (i-Pr)(2)P-N═C═O and the carbodiimide dimer [(i-Pr)(2)PNCNP(i-Pr)(2)](2) are also reported.     

Comparative Study of CuO Species on CuO/Al2O3, CuO/CeO-Al2O3 andCuO/La2O-Al2O3 Catalysts for CO Oxidation

CuO/Al2O3, CuO/CeO2-Al2O3, and CuO/La2O3-Al2O3 (denoted as Cu/Al, Cu/CeAl, and Cu/LaAl) catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. CuO species and CuO/Al2O3 thermal solid-solid interaction were characterized by in situ XRD, Raman spectroscopy and H2-TPR techniques. For the Cu/Al catalyst, a CuAl2O4 phase exists between the CuO and Al2O3 layer and the CuO phase exists on the surface in both highly dispersed and bulk forms. For the Cu/CeAl catalyst, there is highly dispersed and bulk CuO on the surface, but most of the CuO has transferred into the internal layer of CeO2 as bulk CuO and CuAl2O4. For the Cu/LaAl catalyst, only bulk CuO is present on the surface of the catalyst and no CuAl2O4 is formed. The catalytic activity order for CO oxidation is Cu/CeAl>Cu/Al>Cu/LaAl. The highly dispersed CuO on the catalyst surface may be the active phase for CO oxidation. The results show that the addition of CeO2 not only promotes both the transference of CuO and the formation of CuAl2O4 but also favors the CO oxidation due to the association of highly dispersed CuO with CeO2, while La2O3 hinders the transference of CuO and the formation of CuAl2O4.

Uptake of CO2, SO2, HNO3 and HCl on calcite (CaCO3) at 300 K: mechanism and the role of adsorbed water

All experimental observations of the uptake of the four title compounds on calcite are consistent with the presence of a reactive bifunctional surface intermediate Ca(OH)(HCO3) that has been proposed in the literature. The uptake of CO2 and SO2 occurs on specific adsorption sites of crystalline CaCO3(s) rather than by dissolution in adsorbed water, H2O(ads). SO2 primarily interacts with the bicarbonate moiety whereas CO2, HNO3 and HCl all react first with the hydroxyl group of the surface intermediate. Subsequently, the latter two react with the bicarbonate group to presumably form Ca(NO3)2 and CaCl2.2H2O. The effective equilibrium constant of the interaction of CO2 with calcite in the presence of H2O(ads) is kappa = deltaCO2/(H2O(ads)[CO2]) = 1.62 x 10(3) bar(-1), where CO2 is the quantity of CO2 adsorbed on CaCO3. The reaction mechanism involves a weakly bound precursor species that is reversibly adsorbed and undergoes rate-controlling concurrent reactions with both functionalities of the surface intermediate. The initial uptake coefficients gamma0 on calcite powder depend on the abundance of H2O(ads) under the present experimental conditions and are on the order of 10(-4) for CO2 and 0.1 for SO2, HNO3 and HCl, with gamma(ss) being significantly smaller than gamma0 for HNO3 and HCl, thus indicating partial saturation of the uptake. At 33% relative humidity and 300 K there are 3.5 layers of H2O adsorbed on calcite that reduce to a fraction of a monolayer of weakly and strongly bound water upon pumping and/or heating.     

Factors governing the substitution of La3+ for Ca2+ and Mg2+ in metalloproteins: a DFT/CDM study

Trivalent lanthanide cations are extensively being used in biochemical experiments to probe various dication-binding sites in proteins; however, the factors governing the binding specificity of lanthanide cations for these binding sites remain unclear. Hence, we have performed systematic studies to evaluate the interactions between La3+ and model Ca2+ - and Mg2+ -binding sites using density functional theory combined with continuum dielectric methods. The calculations reveal the key factors and corresponding physical bases favoring the substitution of trivalent lanthanides for divalent Ca2+ and Mg2+ in holoproteins. Replacing Ca2+ or Mg2+ with La3+ is facilitated by (1) minimizing the solvent exposure and the flexibility of the metal-binding cavity, (2) freeing both carboxylate oxygen atoms of Asp/Glu side chains in the metal-binding site so that they could bind bidentately to La3+, (3) maximizing the number of metal-bound carboxylate groups in buried sites, but minimizing the number of metal-bound carboxylate groups in solvent-exposed sites, and (4) including an Asn/Gln side chain for sites lined with four Asp/Glu side chains. In proteins bound to both Mg2+ and Ca2+, La3+ would prefer to replace Ca2+, as compared to Mg2+. A second Mg2+-binding site with a net positive charge would hamper the Mg2+ --> La3+ exchange, as compared to the respective mononuclear site, although the La3+ substitution of the first native metal is more favorable than the second one. The findings of this work are in accord with available experimental data.
