CO2 poisoning effect on HY zeolite dehydration catalyst

The poisoning effect of CO₂ on a HY catalyst for the dehydration of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyridine (HEP) to 2-vinylpyridine (VP) has been investigated by FT-IR analysis in the presence and absence of pyridine. CO₂ was found to adsorb on sites not occupied by pyridine,i.e. on weak basic sites accompanying the strongly acidic sites, characteristic of Y zeolites in the protonated form. When the basic sites are occupied by preadsorbed CO₂, HEP dehydration cannot take place any more through the minor mechanism, involving a couple of acid-base sites, and the reaction proceeds only through the major mechanism, involving a carbocation intermediate, on Br?nsted acid sites only.

CO/CO2一步法制备航空煤油的研究进展

CO/CO₂一步法制备航空煤油技术是石油基航空煤油重要的替代手段之一。目前,CO一步法制备航空煤油技术存在的主要问题是航空煤油组分C₈~C₁₆选择性不高。CO₂一步法制备航空煤油存在的问题是CO₂转化率低和C₈~C₁₆选择性不高。综述了近五年CO/CO₂一步法制备航空煤油用催化剂的研究进展。催化剂研究的重点在于主催化剂、载体和助催化剂。调变主催化剂、载体和助催化剂,有望得到理想的航空煤油组分。

A parametric study of CO2/N2 gas separation membrane processes for post-combustion capture

Capture of CO₂ from flue gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass in air is referred to as post-combustion capture. Chemisorbent processes are considered to be the most feasible method and are already at an advanced stage of development, but gas separation membranes are attracting more and more attention as a possible alternative. This paper describes a detailed parametric study of mass and energy balances for a simulated single membrane process. Typical operating conditions (CO₂ concentration in the flue gas, pressure and temperature, etc.) together with the influence of the membrane quality (permeability, selectivity) and membrane area on membrane performance (CO₂ separation degree and CO₂ purity) are simulated over a wide range of parameters.     

A study on methanol steam reforming to CO2 and H2 over the La2CuO4 nanofiber catalyst

The La₂CuO₄ crystal nanofibers were prepared by using single-walled carbon nanotubes as templates under mild hydrothermal conditions. The steam reforming of methanol (SRM) to CO₂ and H₂ over such nanofiber catalysts was studied. At the low temperature of 150 °C and steam/methanol=1.3, methanol was completely (100%, 13.8 g/h g catalyst) converted to hydrogen and CO₂ without the generation of CO. Within the 60 h catalyst lifespan test, methanol conversion was maintained at 98.6% (13.6 g/h g catalyst) and with 100% CO₂ selectivity. In the meantime, for distinguishing the advantage of nanoscale catalyst, the La₂CuO₄ bulk powder was prepared and tested for the SRM reaction for comparison. Compared with the La₂CuO₄ nanofiber, the bulk powder La₂CuO₄ showed worse catalytic activity for the SRM reaction. The 100% conversion of methanol was achieved at the temperature of 400 °C, with the products being H₂ and CO₂ together with CO. The catalytic activity in terms of methanol conversion dropped to 88.7% (12.2 g/h g catalyst) in 60 h. The reduction temperature for nanofiber La₂CuO₄ was much lower than that for the La₂CuO₄ bulk powder. The nanofibers were of higher specific surface area (105.0 m²/g), metal copper area and copper dispersion. The in situ FTIR and EPR experiments were employed to study the catalysts and catalytic process. In the nanofiber catalyst, there were oxygen vacancies. H₂-reduction resulted in the generation of trapped electrons [e] on the vacancy sites. Over the nanofiber catalyst, the intermediate H₂CO/HCO was stable and was reformed to CO₂ and H₂ by steam rather than being decomposed directly to CO and H₂. Over the bulk counterpart, apart from the direct decomposition of H₂CO/HCO to CO and H₂, the intermediate H₂COO might go through two decomposition ways: H₂COO=CO+H₂O and H₂COO=CO₂+H₂.     

R&D activities in Japan on methanol synthesis from CO2 and H2

Methanol synthesis from CO₂ and H₂ can be a useful process for conversion and transportation of hydrogen energy derived from non-fossil energies. More than ten research groups in Japan have extensively investigated the methanol synthesis from both academic and practical points of view. Recent R&D activities in Japan for developing high performance catalysts, for elucidating the reaction mechanism and also for operating a bench scale plant have been reviewed in this paper.     

Ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization with TiCl4/MgCl2/AlCl3 catalyst in the presence of hydrogen

A TiCl₄/AlCl₃/MgCl₂ (Cat-B) catalyst containing 5.2 wt.% Al was prepared by the reaction of TiCl₄ with ethanol adduct of AlCl₃/MgCl₂ mixture. A TiCl₄/MgCl₂ catalyst (Cat-A) without doped AlCl₃ was also prepared by the same method. Ethylene-1-hexene copolymerization catalyzed by Cat-B in the presence of hydrogen showed slightly higher efficiency and higher 1-hexene incorporation than Cat-A. Comonomer incorporation was markedly increased when the cocatalyst AlEt₃ was replaced by Al(i-Bu)₃. Adding Ph₂Si(OMe)₂ as external donor in the catalyst system caused decrease in polymerization activity and 1-hexene incorporation. Each copolymer sample was fractionated into three fractions: n-heptane insoluble fraction (fraction A), n-heptane soluble and n-hexane insoluble fraction (fraction B) and n-hexane soluble fraction (fraction C). In most cases the amount of intermediate fraction (fraction B) was smaller than the other fractions and did not increase as the total 1-hexene content increase, indicating the presence of two classes of copolymer fractions with greatly different comonomer content and clear bimodality of the copolymer composition distribution. Doping AlCl₃ in the catalyst, changing cocatalyst and adding external donor mainly changed the weight ratio of fraction A to fraction C, but exerted little influences on their composition. According to the sequence distribution data of the fractions, doping AlCl₃ in the catalyst resulted in slight decrease of product of reactivity ratios (r₁r₂) in both fraction A and fraction C.

Catalytic properties of Mg-modified Ni-based hexaaluminate catalysts for CO2 reforming of methane to synthesis gas

CO₂ reforming of CH₄ over hexaaluminates LaNi _x Mg_1−x Al₁₁O_19+δ and LaNi _x Mg_0.8Al_11.2−x O_19+δ were studied. XRD analysis confirmed that modifier Ni as well as Mg was inlaid into the hexaaluminate lattice. Hexaaluminate LaNi _x Mg_1−x Al₁₁O_19+δ (1.0 ≥ x ≥ 0.4) showed better catalytic activities and higher resistance to carbon deposition, which was attributed to their pure magnetoplumbite-type structure. For this reaction, x-value between 0.6 and 0.4 was the most suitable.

制备工艺对NiFe2O4分解CO2活性的影响

随着大气中CO2浓度的增加,温室效应日趋严重,促使人们对大气中CO2的转化与消除这一课题更加重视。1990年Yutaka Tamaura[1]发现氧缺位磁铁矿几乎可以100%分解CO2后,为解决温室效应提供了一条新的探索途径。通过对不同铁酸盐MFe2O4(M=Fe,Mn[2],Co[3],Zn[4],Ni[5]等)分解CO2活性的考察,发现铁酸镍在300℃分解CO2的活性比其它铁酸盐都好。NiFe2O4的制备最常采用的是共沉淀法、柠檬酸溶胶凝胶法和水热法,3种方法由于制备

Reaction of oxygen with adsorbed hydrogen species of a reduced Pt/TiO2 catalyst

Reaction of oxygen with the adsorbed hydrogen species of Pt/TiO₂ catalysts reduced in the temperature range of RT-773 K has been studied by temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO). It is obtained that the Pt-assisted reaction of oxygen with both the surface hydroxy groups and titanium hydride species occurs in the temperature range of 320–450 K; direct oxidation of the surface hydrogen species takes place on the surface of TiO₂ in the temperature range of 500–600 K; and oxygen reacts with the stored hydrogen species in the sublayer and bulk of the TiO₂ support when the temperature was increased to above 600 K.     

XAFS characterization of supported PdCl2?CuCl2 catalysts for CO oxidation

A heterogenized Wacker catalyst system in which pores of a high surface area alumina were filled with an aqueous solution of PdCl₂–CuCl₂ was active for the oxidation of CO near room temperature. The structure of thecatalyst was studied by XRD and XAFS. The active phase of Pd was a molecular Pd species whose structure was similar to PdCl₂, probably modified by a carbonyl ligand. The active phase of copper was found to be solid Cu₂Cl(OH)₃ particles. The presence of Cu was essential to keep the Pd in the Pd(II) state during the reaction.

Besides, the pure cis-cyclic carbonate of cyclohexene oxide was obtained in this catalyst system.     

KIT-6负载CeO2催化CO2和甲醇合成碳酸二甲酯

采用不同老化温度(80、100、120和150℃)合成了一系列KIT-6载体,并通过浸渍法制备了相应的CeO_2/KIT-6催化剂。结合X射线衍射、N_2物理吸附、NH_3程序升温脱附、CO_2程序升温脱附、透射电子显微镜、傅里叶变换红外光谱和X射线光电子能谱等表征结果,详细考察了老化温度对KIT-6结构以及CeO_2/KIT-6催化剂直接催化CO_2和甲醇合成碳酸二甲酯(DMC)反应活性的影响。结果表明,不同老化温度下制备的KIT-6均保持其独特的三维孔道结构。随着老化温度升高,KIT-6比表面积先增大后减小,当老化温度为100℃时,KIT-6比表面积达到最大(683 m~2·g~(-1))。KIT-6较高的比表面积有利于提高CeO_2分散度,进而提高暴露的活性位点数量,催化活性随催化剂表面中等碱/酸性吸附位数量和Ce~(3+)含量的增加而逐渐提高。其中,CeO_2/100-KIT-6催化剂中CeO_2颗粒尺寸最小(5.9 nm),暴露的活性位数量最高,催化活性最佳。随后,考察了反应温度和压力对CeO_2/100-KIT-6催化活性的影响。随着反应温度提高,催化活性先升高后降低,当反应温度为140℃时,催化活性最高;且催化活性随反应压力的提高而逐渐增加。在反应温度为140℃、压力为6.8 MPa条件下,催化剂经6次循环后,DMC收率由15 mmol·g_(CeO_2)~(-1)逐渐降低至2.8 mmol·g_(CeO_2)~(-1),原因归结为反应过程中CeO_2纳米颗粒发生团聚,使暴露出的活性位数量减少。

基于层状双氢氧化物前驱体的CO2甲烷化NiAlNd催化剂

采用乙二醇溶剂热法合成了一系列基于层状双氢氧化物前驱体(LDHs)的NiAlNd催化剂。Nd的引入大大提高了CO₂甲烷化的低温催化活性。在 T=210 ℃,WHSV(weight hourly space velocity)=24 000 mL·g^-1·h^-1,p=100 kPa的条件下,NiAlNd-0.4催化剂上CO₂转化率达到83.9%。Nd³⁺取代部分Al³⁺阻碍了前驱体中LDHs结构的形成,同时也减小了焙烧后催化剂的粒径。Nd的加入削弱了NiO与Al₂O₃之间的相互作用,促进了NiO的还原,提高了Ni的本征活性。此外,Nd的添加提高了催化剂表面碱性位的数目,从而增强了对CO₂的吸附。随着Nd掺杂量的增加,还原后的催化剂中金属Ni的表面积呈火山形变化。Ni活性位的数目和本征活性同时影响NiAlNd催化剂的催化活性。
