Selective Oxidation of n-Butane over VPO Catalyst Modified by Different Additives

A series of vanadyl pyrophosphate catalyst （VPO） modified by different additives have been prepared with the aim to study the performance for selective conversion of n-butane to maleic anhydride（MA）. The addition of various promoters improved the catalytic performance remarkably on both activity and selectivity. The correlation of activity and selectivity of the catalysts with their structure has been discussed. The increase in BET surface areas and surface redox sites leads to an enhanced activity. However, good selectivity can only be obtained on those surfaces with suitable surface acid sites.     

CeAlPO-5分子筛催化剂上二苯基甲烷选择性氧化生成二苯甲酮(英文)

Selective oxidation of diphenylmethane to benzophenone requires active and selective catalysts. The framework incorporation of cerium in AlPO-5 molecular sieves creates active cerium sites in isolation. These active sites are responsible for selective oxidation. Cerium incorporated AlPO-5 with different Al/Ce ratios were synthesized, and the vapor phase oxidation of diphenylmethane in air over these catalysts was studied at 250, 275, 300, 325, and 350 °C. The diphenylmethane conversion and selectivity for benzophenone were more than 90%. CeAlPO-5(25) was found to be more active than other catalysts. The stability of the catalyst was verified by the time on stream study which indicated steady diphenylmethane conversion and benzophenone selectivity. Hence framework incorporated CeAlPO-5 molecular sieves are stable and active catalysts for the selective oxidation of diphenylmethane.

Molybdenum based oxide catalysts Mo-H,Mo-Fe,Mo-Ce,and Mo-Sn were prepared by calcining H3PMo12O40,Fe1.5 PMo 12O40,Ce1.5PMo12O40,and Sn1.5 PMo12O40 heteropolyanion precursors at700℃,respectively.The prepared oxides have been characterized and tested for the dehydrogenation of isobutane(IB)to isobutene in the presence of CO2.The effects of temperature,time on stream,and CO2 /IB ratio were investigated.It was found that α-and-MoO3 phases were present in all catalysts.Catalytic tests showed that increasing the reaction temperature increased both the conversion and isobutene selectivity,whereas increasing the CO2 /IB molar ratio increased the conversion but decreased the selectivity for isobutene.Iron was found to be an effective additive element for the enhancement of catalytic activity compared with Ce and Sn.

Highly active double metal cyanide complexes： Effect of central metal and ligand on reaction of epoxide/CO2

Various novel double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts were successfully prepared by modifying the central metal (M) and one of cyanide ion (CN-) in Zna[M(CN)b]c complex. Such modifications have significant impact on the catalytic efficiency as well as the polymer selectivity for the reaction of PO/CO2. Zn–Ni(Ⅱ) DMC is a potential catalyst for alternating copolymerization of PO/CO2, and DMC catalysts based on Zn3[Co(CN)5X]2 (X = Br-and N3-) exhibit moderate efficiency for the production of polycarbonates. This research presents the preliminary exploration of novel DMC complex via chemical modification of its central metal and ligand.     

DECARBOXYLATION OF ALLYL β-KETO ESTERS TO UNSATURATED KETONES ON POLYMER BOUND PHOSPHINE- PALLADIUM (0)COMPLEXES*

Polystyrylphosphine-Pd(0) and silica supported polysiloxane-phosphine-Pd(0) complexeswere synthesized and characterized. Their catalytic properties for the decarboxylation of allyl β-keto esters were investigated. It was found that these complexes have good catalytic activities undermild condition for this decarboxylation in which many novel unsaturated ketones were obtained.The selectivity of this catalytic decarboxylation depends on the polymer ligand and the P/Pd ratioof catalyst.

聚醚砜酮的磺化及其在异丁烯低聚反应中的应用

Concentrated homogeneous mineral acids have been widely used as catalysts in industrial processes for several decades. These catalysts are corrosive to the apparatus, and there are large volumes of chemically reactive waste stream that are difficult to deal with[1]. In order to solve these problems, investigators have replaced these mineral acids with solid acid catalysts. Besides inorganic solid acid catalysts such as zeolite, solid organic polymeric resins containing acid groups, especially sulfuric acid resins such as Amberlyst[2], have attracted much attention. Compared with most inorganic acid catalysts, they have the advantages of their potentially high acidity, controllable surface area and porosity[3]. This article reports a novel sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (S-PPESK) resin and its application to isobutene oligomerization. S-PPESK exhibits high catalytic activity and excellent dimerization selectivity.

Molybdenum and tungsten components in catalysts Bu_4N〔Mo(CO)_5Cl〕-EtAlCl_2andWCl_6-Bu_4Sn were immobilized respectively on polymers.The influence of immobilization ofthe soluble catalysts on their catalytic behavior in the metathesis of 1—hexene was investi-gated.It has been found that polystyrene is a good supporting material among all thepolymers tested.The immobilized catalysts have higher stability and better selectivity incomparison with their homogeneous equivalents.The metathesis yield of 1-hexene is in-creased by fourfold with WCl_6immobilized on polystyrene.The reason for the increase ofstability of the immobilized catalyst is discussed.     

Additive effects of alkaline-earth metals and nickel on the performance of Co/γ-Al_2O_3 in methane catalytic partial oxidation

Nano-sized γ-alumina (γ-Al2O3) was first prepared by a precipitation method. Then, active component of cobalt and a series of alkaline- earth metal promoters or nickel (Ni) with different contents were loaded on the γ-Al2O3 support. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The activity and selectivity of the catalysts in catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) of methane have been compared with Co/γ-Al2O3, and it is found that the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability are enhanced by the addition of alkaline-earth metals and nickel. The optimal loadings of strontium (Sr) and Ni were 6 and 4 wt%, respectively. This finding will be helpful in designing the trimetallic Co-Ni-Sr/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with high performance in CPO of methane.     

Influence of alkali metal doping on surface properties and catalytic activity/selectivity of CaO catalysts in oxidative coupling of methane

Surface properties （viz. surface area, basicity/base strength distribution, and crystal phases） of alkali metal doped CaO （alkali metal/Ca= 0.1 and 0.4） catalysts and their catalytic activity/selectivity in oxidative coupling of methane （OCM） to higher hydrocarbons at different reaction conditions （viz. temperature, 700 and 750 ℃; CH4/O2 ratio, 4.0 and 8.0 and space velocity, 5140-20550 cm^3 ·g^-1·h^-1） have been investigated. The influence of catalyst calcination temperature on the activity/selectivity has also been investigated. The surface properties （viz. surface area, basicity/base strength distribution） and catalytic activity/selectivity of the alkali metal doped CaO catalysts are strongly influenced by the alkali metal promoter and its concentration in the alkali metal doped CaO catalysts. An addition of alkali metal promoter to CaO results in a large decrease in the surface area but a large increase in the surface basicity （strong basic sites） and the C2＋ selectivity and yield of the catalysts in the OCM process. The activity and selectivity are strongly influenced by the catalyst calcination temperature. No direct relationship between surface basicity and catalytic activity/selectivity has been observed. Among the alkali metal doped CaO catalysts, Na-CaO （Na/Ca = 0.1, before calcination） catalyst （calcined at 750 ℃）, showed best performance （C2＋ selectivity of 68.8% with 24.7% methane conversion）, whereas the poorest performance was shown by the Rb-CaO catalyst in the OCM process.

Some influencing factors and the role of carriers are discussed.     

环境催化中的陶瓷材料:应用与可能性(英文)

Environmental catalysis has been steadily growing because of the advances in its scientific and engineering aspects,as well as due to the new environmental challenges in the industrial era.The development of new catalysts and materials is essential for new technologies for various environmental applications.Ceramics play important roles in various environmental applications including the identification,monitoring,and quantification of pollutants and their control.Ceramics have important applications as sensors and photocatalysts,and they are extensively used as catalyst carriers and supports.Many ceramics are being explored as catalysts for pollution control applications.Their low cost,thermal and chemical stability,and capability of being tailored make them especially attractive for pollution control applications.Although a wide variety of materials have been developed as catalyst supports,this area is still of interest with new or modified catalyst supports being frequently reported.It is of equal importance to develop new or modified processes for the loading of catalysts on specific supports.Applications like chemical looping combustion(CLC) and other catalytic combustion processes are raising the demands to a new scale.We have been working on the development of both new and modified support materials,including mesoporous materials without structural order for possible applications in CLC and other catalytic reactions.Successful attempts have been made in the modification of conventional γ-Al2O3 and improved synthesis processes for supporting perovskite type catalysts.Our research on environmental catalysis applications of ceramic materials and processes are also briefly discussed.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide formation on mesoporous non-metal nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst

Direct electrochemical formation of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) from pure O2 and H2on cheap metal-free earth abundant catalysts has emerged as the highest atom-efficient and environmentally friendly reaction pathway and is therefore of great interest from an academic and industrial point of view. Very recently,novel metal-free mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts have attracted large attention due to the unique reactivity and selectivity for the electrochemical hydrogen peroxide formation [1–3]. In this work,we provide deeper insights into the electrocatalytic activity, selectivity and durability of novel metal-free mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst for the peroxide formation with a particular emphasis on the influence of experimental reaction parameters such as p H value and electrode potential for three different electrolytes. We used two independent approaches for the investigation of electrochemical hydrogen peroxide formation, namely rotating ring-disk electrode(RRDE) technique and photometric UV–VIS technique. Our electrochemical and photometric results clearly revealed a considerable peroxide formation activity as well as high catalyst durability for the metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst material in both acidic as well as neutral medium at the same electrode potential under ambient temperature and pressure. In addition, the obtained electrochemical reactivity and selectivity indicate that the mechanisms for the electrochemical formation and decomposition of peroxide are strongly dependent on the p H value and electrode potential.     

SYNTHESIS OF POLYMER-STABILIZED PLATINUM/RUTHENIUM BIMETALLIC COLLOIDS AND THEIR CATALYTIC PROPERTIES FOR SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF CROTONALDEHYDE

Polymer-stabilized platinum/ruthenium bimetallic colloids （Pt/Ru） were synthesized by polyol reduction with microwave irradiation and characterized by TEM and XPS. The colloidal nanoparticles have small and narrow size distributions. Catalytic performance of the Pt/Ru colloidal catalysts was investigated on the selective hydrogenation of crontonaldehyde （CRAL）. A suitable amount of the added metal ions and base can improve the selectivity of CRAL to crotylalcohol （CROL） remarkably. The catalytic activity and the selectivity are dependent on the compositions of bimetallic colloids. Thereinto, PVP-stabilized 9Pt/1Ru colloid with a molar ratio of metals Pt：Ru = 9：1 shows the highest catalytic selectivity 77.3% to CROL at 333 K under 4.0 MPa of hydrogen.
