Oxidation of propene in the gas phase

A series of laboratory and modelling experiments on the oxidation of propene in the gas phase has been undertaken to determine conditions which give high yields of propene oxide. The conditions under which the experiments were conducted were 505–549 K and up to 4 bar pressure. It is proposed that propene oxide is formed from propene by reaction with several peroxy radicals including HO₂ and CH₃CO₃. However, one of the more important radicals is hydroxypropylperoxy. Its reaction with propene, under these conditions is more important than concerted decomposition to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

在SO42-/ZrO2 上苯与丙烯的烷基化反应

Super acidic catalyst SO42-/ZrO2 was prepared and characterized by XRD,IR,and Py-IR. Selectively catalytic gas phase flow reactions of benzene and propene over the catalyst were carried out in a made-to-measure high pressure flow reactor with a thermometer and a condenser. The benzene and propene were kept in pressure tanks at 8 : 1 ratio with N2 gas at 4. 0 MPa. The reactants were pumped into the quantifier where the pressure was maintained by N2 gas at 8. 0 MPa. They were then pumped into the reaction reactor using catalytic synthesis of isopropyl benzene. The collected liquid phase products were analyzed using GC-MS. Product analyses were carried out on SE-54. The effect of the preparative condition on the catalytic synthesis of isopropyl benzene over the catalysts has been tested. The result shows that the SO42-/ZrO2 can be used as a catalyst for the title reaction,and shows higher conversion（99.2%）for the propene and higher selectivity（93.3%）for the isopropyl benzene when the catalyst is preparated in some condition.     

Investigation of Propene Oligomerization Catalyst Series Derived from Complex of Ferric Sulfate and Nickel Sulfate

Some paper have reported that catalyt of NiSO₄/γAlO₃ has a very high oligomerization activity for propene, but the over tri oligomerization selectivity is very low^[1].The catalyt of Fe₂(SO₄)₃/γ-Al₂O₃ has a very high over trioligomerization selectivity, but oligomerization activity was lower then catalysis of NiSO₄/γ-Al₂O₃ for propene and stability of catalysis was not as good as catalysis of NiSO₄/γ-Al₂O₃^[2].In this paper the catalysis of Fe_(2/3)xNi_1-xSO₄-P₂O₅/γ-Al₂O₃ for propene oligomerization has been systematically studied, the effect of the activation method, the stability and reaction conditions on activity and selectivity were investigated. Fe_(2/3)xNi_1-xSO₄-P₂O₅/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysis was preparared by impregnation.The factors affecting catalyst performance for propene oligomerization are as follows.

Effect of Reaction Temperature and Pressure on the Metathesis Reaction between Ethene and 2-Butene to Propene on the WO3/Al2O3-HY Catalyst

Effect of reaction temperature and pressure on the metathesis reaction between ethene and 2-butene to propene was studied on the WO3/γ-Al2O3-HY catalyst. The activity is found to increase with elevated temperature and reaches a plateau at 150-240℃. After that, the activity undergoes a remarkable decrement at too high temperature. The effect of temperature is elucidated by the oxidation state of tungsten species. The evaluation results also indicate that the stability is dependent on this reaction parameter. Medium pressure (0.5-0.8 MPa) is favorable for stability, while atmospheric pressure or too high pressure (>1.0 MPa) deteriorates the stability. For explanation, UV Vis, FT-IR, O2-TPO, and TG techniques are used to characterize the spent catalysts.     

Thermal activation of typical oxidative dehydrogenation catalyst precursors belonging to the Ni−Mo−O system

NiMoO₄ obtained by calcination of precursors has been shown to be a very effective catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane into propene. Preparation conditions and thermal decomposition of two precursors have been studied by TG-DTA, HTXRD, FFT-IR, and thermo-desorption coupled to mass spectroscopy in order to determine their composition and to define the best treatment to favour the oxidative dehydrogenation process. The selectivity and activity for propane transformation into propene are very different depending on the nature of the precursor and of the active phases obtained after thermal activation. The more selective high-temperature β phase of NiMoO₄ has been obtained at a lower temperature (500°C) than previously reported (700°C).

High pressure reactivity of propene by first principles molecular dynamics calculations

The reactivity of propene under high pressure has been investigated in the framework of Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics. Changes in structural and electronic properties due to pressure have been analyzed in systems with a density ranging from 0.855 to 2.151 g/cm(3). A ionic collective mechanism which leads to the formation of oligomers has been found by both spin restricted and spin polarized formalism. The maximally localized Wannier centers analysis has allowed us to characterize the addition scheme and to identify a Wannier center with a high spread value involved in the formation of the principal reaction products.     

Influence of Molybdenum on Ceria Activity and CO2 Selectivity in Propene Total Oxidation

A total oxidation of propene into CO₂ is obtained on pure ceria at 673 K. However, in the presence of molybdenum, propene can be partially oxidized at room temperature. The Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) indicates changes in the oxidation state of molybdenum occurring upon interaction with propene. It has been found that the concentration of Mo(V) influences the propene conversion. The interaction between propene and molybdenum leads to the formation of surface species that, depending on the strength of their bonding to the surface, can be decomposed to ethene or coke. These results have been confirmed by infrared (FTIR) study. The oxidation reaction of propene is in competition with that of coke or ethene deposit on the catalyst surface, which can explain the decrease of the catalyst activity and selectivity in the presence of high molybdenum loadings.     

Dehydration kinetics of theophylline-7-acetic acid monohydrate

A hydrated form of theophylline-7-acetic acid obtained by recrystallization from water is described and characterized in terms of thermal properties, physical stability with respect to relative humidity and dehydration kinetics. The hydrate resulted to be stable at ambient conditions. Fitting of experimental dehydration data to solid state reaction equations suggests a three dimensional phase boundary reaction proceeding from the surface of the crystal inward along three dimensions. The relevant activation energy calculated from the Arrhenius plot is 173 kJ/mol.     

FTIR matrix-isolation study of the reaction products of vanadium atoms with propene: observation of allylvanadium hydride as a precursor to sacrificial hydrogenation of propene

Vanadium atoms have been reacted with different partial pressures of propene in Ar under matrix-isolation conditions, and the products have been observed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Under dilute propene in Ar conditions, new features are observed in the IR spectra corresponding to a C-H insertion product, identified here as H-V-(η(3)-allyl). Use of d(3)-propene (CD(3)-CH═CH(2)) demonstrates that the initial V-atom insertion occurs at the methyl group of the propene molecule, and DFT calculations have been used to support the identity of the initial product. Upon increasing the partial pressure of propene, additional features corresponding to propane (C(3)H(8)) are observed, with the hydrogen-atom source for the observed hydrogenation demonstrated to be additional propene units. Analysis of a systematic increase in the partial pressure of propene in the system demonstrates that the yield of propane correlates with the decrease of the allyl product, demonstrating the H-V(allyl) species as a reactive intermediate in the overall hydrogenation process. An overall mechanism is proposed to rationalize the formation of the insertion product and ultimately the products of hydrogenation, which agrees with previous gas-phase and matrix-isolation work involving propene and the related system, ethene.     

How does the critical point change during a chemical reaction in supercritical fluids? A study of the hydroformylation of propene in supercritical CO(2).

An understanding of homogeneous catalysis in supercritical fluids requires a knowledge of the phase behavior and the variation in critical point as the reaction proceeds. In this paper, the critical temperatures, T(c) and pressures, P(c), have been measured for a considerable number of mixtures representing the various stages of the hydroformylation reaction of propene in supercritical CO(2) and different reactant concentrations. Critical point data have also been measured for all of the binary mixtures of the components (CO(2), H(2), CO, propene, n- and isobutyraldehyde) which are not available from the literature or can be deduced from published data. We use the stoichiometry of the reacting system to simplify greatly the phase behavior problem by defining a path through the otherwise multidimensional "phase space". Satisfactory modeling of the data (0.3% in T(c) and 3.0% in P(c)) has been achieved using the Peng-Robinson equation of state and ignoring all binary interactions which do not involve CO(2). The model is used to explore the strategies needed to avoid phase separation in continuous and batch reactions. At a given temperature, a batch reactor may need to be run under much higher pressures than a flow reactor if single-phase conditions are to be preserved throughout the course of the reaction. Most of the critical point data were measured acoustically, but a selection of points were validated using more traditional view-cell procedures.     

Reaction intermediates in acid catalysis by zeolites: prediction of the relative tendency to form alkoxides or carbocations as a function of hydrocarbon nature and active site structure

The mechanism of protonation of ethene, propene, and isobutylene adsorbed on seven different Br?nsted acid sites of mordenite has been studied at the ONIOM (B3PW91/6-31G(d,p):MNDO) theoretical level to assess the influence of olefin size and local geometry of the active site on the species and energies involved. The activation energies for olefin protonation are determined by short- and medium-range electrostatic effects and reflect the order of stability of primary, secondary, and tertiary carbenium ions. On the other hand, the stability of covalent alkoxides depends linearly on the AlO(b)Si angle value in the complex, which in turn is determined by the corresponding value in the deprotonated zeolite. It is also shown that the mechanism of protonation of isobutylene is different from that of ethene and propene and involves a free tert-butyl carbenium ion as a true reaction intermediate. Whether this carbenium ion is converted into a covalent alkoxide depends on the T position on which the Al is located. All these findings allow us to predict, on the basis of the position and local geometry of the Br?nsted acid site, whether the reaction intermediates of olefin protonation will be covalent alkoxides or free carbenium ions.

All-metal aromatic complexes show high reactivity in the oxidation reaction of methane and some hydrocarbons

The C-H activations of methane, ethane, propane, and propene catalyzed by all-metal aromatic complexes Al(4)Fe were investigated. The results reveal that the rate-determining barrier of methane activation reaction with Al(4)Fe is lower than that of both some well-known inorganic catalysts and some metal organic catalysts. It was found that the all-metal aromatic complexes have high reactivity for the C-H activation of ethane, propane, and propene. Further research showed that the ability of all-metal aromatic complex to accept an electron and the degree of electron delocalization on its aromatic plane had obvious influences on the reactivity of Al(4)Fe. The present work predicts a new kind of catalyst for the alkyl C-H activation reaction: all-metal aromatic catalyst.

H atom attack on propene

The reaction of propene (CH(3)CH═CH(2)) with hydrogen atoms has been investigated in a heated single-pulsed shock tube at temperatures between 902 and 1200 K and pressures of 1.5-3.4 bar. Stable products from H atom addition and H abstraction have been identified and quantified by gas chromatography/flame ionization/mass spectrometry. The reaction for the H addition channel involving methyl displacement from propene has been determined relative to methyl displacement from 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (135TMB), leading to a reaction rate, k(H + propene) → H(2)C═CH(2) + CH(3)) = 4.8 × 10(13) exp(-2081/T) cm(3)/(mol s). The rate constant for the abstraction of the allylic hydrogen atom is determined to be k(H + propene → CH(2)CH═CH(2) + H(2)) = 6.4 × 10(13) exp(-4168/T) cm(3)/(mol s). The reaction of H + propene has also been directly studied relative to the reaction of H + propyne, and the relationship is found to be log[k(H + propyne → acetylene + CH(3))/k(H + propene → ethylene + CH(3))] = (-0.461 ± 0.041)(1000/T) + (0.44 ± 0.04). The results showed that the rate constant for the methyl displacement reaction with propene is a factor of 1.05 ± 0.1 larger than that for propyne near 1000 K. The present results are compared with relevant earlier data on related compounds.     

On the role of thermal activation in selective photochemistry: mechanistic insight into the oxidation of propene on the V4O11- cluster

An experimental methodology for a mechanistic analysis of gas phase chemical reactions is presented in the context of structure-reactivity relationships of metal oxide clusters relevant to photocatalysis. The spectroscopic approach is demonstrated with the investigation of the photoinduced oxygenation of propene on the V(4)O(11)(-) cluster, where the thermal activation and subsequent photoreaction are deduced with the information from (i) the temperature dependency of the aggregation kinetics in the propene-seeded helium atmosphere of an ion-trap reactor; (ii) the fluence dependency in the yield of different product channels of the photoreaction and (iii) the intensity dependency in the fragmentation of neutral reaction products that are probed via in situ multi-photon ionization. For the thermal reaction, selective hydrogen abstraction from the allylic position of propene accompanied by the linkage to the cluster at the dioxo moiety is postulated as the mechanism in the aggregation of propene on the V(4)O(11)(-) cluster. In accordance with an insightful neutralization-reionization study (Schr?der et al., J. Mass. Spectrom., 2010, 301, 84), the subsequent photoinduced reaction is defined by an allylic oxidation in the formation of acrolein from the initial allyloxy radical photoproduct. The relevance of the observed selectivity is discussed in view of the electronic structure and bond motifs offered by high valence oxide systems such as the V(4)O(11)(-) cluster.     

Reactive Monte Carlo and grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations of the propene metathesis reaction system

The influence of silicalite-1 pores on the reaction equilibria and the selectivity of the propene metathesis reaction system in the temperature range between 300 and 600 K and the pressure range from 0.5 to 7 bars has been investigated with molecular simulations. The reactive Monte Carlo (RxMC) technique was applied for bulk-phase simulations in the isobaric-isothermal ensemble and for two phase systems in the Gibbs ensemble. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations in the grand-canonical ensemble (GCMC) have been carried out with and without using the RxMC technique. The various simulation procedures were combined with the configurational-bias Monte Carlo approach. It was found that the GCMC simulations are superior to the Gibbs ensemble simulations for reactions where the bulk-phase equilibrium can be calculated in advance and does not have to be simulated simultaneously with the molecules inside the pore. The confined environment can increase the conversion significantly. A large change in selectivity between the bulk phase and the pore phase is observed. Pressure and temperature have strong influences on both conversion and selectivity. At low pressure and temperature both conversion and selectivity have the highest values. The effect of confinement decreases as the temperature increases.     

A theoretical study of imine-ene reaction influencing factors

Potential energy surfaces of the imine-ene reaction between methanimine and propene have been calculated using restricted and unrestricted density functional theory at the B3LYP level. The results show that a concerted mechanism with an exo configuration for lone pair electrons transition structure is more favourable for the intermolecular bare imine-ene reaction. In addition, the C-C bond formation and the migration of the propene α-hydrogen occur simultaneously. The promoting effect of seventeen Lewis acids was also studied. When a Lewis acid is used as a promoter, the corresponding activation and reaction energies decline greatly compared to those of the bare imine-ene reaction. A good correlation (R(2) > 0.9) was found between the activation barriers and the polar character of the transition states. Lewis acids and electron-withdrawing substituents on methanimine were proven to facilitate the imine-ene reaction, whereas electron-donating groups, conjugated groups or a bulky group hinders the reaction. The steric factor is the most unfavourable. The reactivity indices defined by the conceptual density functional theory were also studied and there is a good correlation between the activation barrier and electrophilicity. Frontier molecular orbital theory gives a good explanation for the above results.
