Phosgene-free decomposition of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate over ZnO

In catalytic decomposition of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate (HDC) into hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate (HDI), Zn-containing homogeneous (i.e., zinc acetate) and heterogeneous (i.e., ZnO) catalysts were active among a number of catalysts tested, due to the great electron withdrawing ability of Zn ions. Particularly, when polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether was used as a solvent, ZnO was found to be relatively robust, because the catalytic performance was maintained up to the third use (HDC conversion of 93 % and HDI yield of 67 % at 180 °C for 1 h). Through investigation of a HDC/ZnO mixture at elevated temperatures by IR spectroscopy, a possible reaction scheme of ZnO-catalyzed decomposition of HDC was proposed. The H atom is removed from the N–H group of HDC by hydrogen bonding with an O site on the ZnO surface, followed by coordination of an O–C=O group in monodentate mode to a Zn site. The C–O group in the O–C=O linkage is then cleaved yielding the isocyanate and surface methoxide species. Finally, methanol is released from ZnO by a reaction between the surface methoxide and the hydroxyl species.     

Role of preparation parameters of Cu–Zn mixed oxide catalyst in solvent free glycerol carbonylation with urea

Solvent-free carbonylation of glycerol with urea to glycerol carbonate (GC) was achieved over heterogeneous Cu–Zn mixed oxide catalyst. Cu–Zn catalysts with different ratios of Cu:Zn were prepared using co-precipitation (CP) and oxalate gel (OG) methods. As compared to CuO–ZnO(2:1) catalyst prepared by oxalate gel (OG) method, much higher conversion of glycerol and highest selectivity towards glycerol carbonate (GC) was achieved with CuO–ZnO_CP(2:1) catalyst. Physicochemical properties of prepared catalysts were investigated by using XRD, FT-IR, BET, TPD of CO₂ and NH₃ and TEM techniques. The effect of stoichiometric ratio of Cu/Zn, calcination temperature of CuO–ZnO catalysts and effect of reaction parameters such as molar ratio of substrates, time and temperature on glycerol conversion to GC were critically studied. Cu/Zn of 2:1 ratio, glycerol–urea 1:1 molar ratio, 145 ​°C reaction temperatures were found to be optimized reaction conditions to achieve highest glycerol conversion of 86% and complete selectivity towards GC. The continuous expel of NH₃ from reaction the mixture avoided formation of ammonia complex with CuO–ZnO catalyst. As a result of this, CuO–ZnO catalyst could be recycled up to three times without losing its initial activity.     

并流淤浆混合法制备铜基甲醇合成催化剂及助剂Al2O3的作用研究

采用并流淤浆混合法制备了一系列具有不同铜锌铝比的铜基甲醇合成催化剂CuO/ZnO/Al2O3,测试了其催化性能(甲醇收率和CO转化率)及物相结构,并对该制备方法进行评价。Cu∶Zn∶Al摩尔比为4∶5∶1 的铜基催化剂显示了最好的催化活性。通过对催化剂前驱物煅烧过程进行DTA分析及对前驱物进行XRD分析表明, 催化剂前驱物的物相与Al2O3的量有关。当Al2O3的量较低时,前驱物的物相以(Cu0.3 Zn0.7)5(CO3)2(OH)6为主;当Al2O3的量较高时,前驱物中物相(Cu0.3Zn0.7)5(CO3)2(OH)6的量下降,而物相Cu2CO3(OH)2的量增加。物相(Cu0.3 Zn0.7)5(CO3)2(OH)6对终态催化剂的活性是十分有利的 。

Hybrid silica-organic material with immobilized amino groups: surface probing and use for electrochemical determination of nitrite ions

A sol–gel based hybrid process was developed by manipulating different techniques in sol–gel process to synthesize γ-alumina and (CuO, CuO + ZnO) doped γ-alumina spherical particles. Catalysts having spherical geometry have an important advantage over powders or pellets which are impervious to fluids, when packed in a reactor. Boehmite sol was used as alumina precursor for synthesizing porous γ-alumina and doped materials. γ-alumina particles having 5 wt% CuO, 4 wt% CuO + 1 wt% ZnO, 3 wt% CuO + 2 wt% ZnO and 2 wt% CuO + 3 wt% ZnO were prepared by adding required amounts of Cu(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ solutions prior to gelation of the sol. Methanol dehydration studies were carried out by employing these synthesized catalysts. Hundred percent conversion of methanol to dimethyl ether was observed with (4 wt% CuO + 1 wt% ZnO)-γ-alumina and (5 wt% CuO)-γ-alumina microspheres at 325 and 350 °C, respectively.

Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO on CuO Enables Selective and Efficient Electroreduction of Carbon Dioxide to Liquid Fuels

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, if powered by renewable electricity, could serve as a sustainable technology for carbon recycling and energy storage. Among all the products, ethanol is an attractive liquid fuel. However, the maximum faradaic efficiency of ethanol is only ≈10 % on polycrystalline Cu. Here, CuZn bimetallic catalysts were synthesized by in situ electrochemical reduction of ZnO‐shell/CuO‐core bi‐metal‐oxide. Dynamic evolution of catalyst was revealed by STEM‐EDS mapping, showing the migration of Zn atom and blending between Cu and Zn. CuZn bimetallic catalysts showed preference towards ethanol formation, with the ratio of ethanol/ethylene increasing over five times regardless of applied potential. We achieved 41 % faradaic efficiency for C₂₊ liquids with this catalyst. Transitioning from H‐cell to an electrochemical flow cell, we achieved 48.6 % faradaic efficiency and ?97 mA cm^?2 partial current density for C₂₊ liquids at only ?0.68 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 1 m KOH. Operando Raman spectroscopy showed that CO binding on Cu sites was modified by Zn. Free CO and adsorbed *CH₃ are believed to combine and form *COCH₃ intermediate, which is exclusively reduced to ethanol.     

AHTD法铜基催化剂合成甲醇的研究——Ⅰ.催化剂的催化性能

自从ICI低压、低温甲醇合成过程取代高压过程以来,人们对该过程所使用的Cu/ZnO/Al_2O_3或Cu/ZnO/Cr_2O_3催化剂有极大的兴趣。Herman、Klier等人已证明这种低压、低温下的活性应归属于Cu-ZnO间的相互作用,在相同的条件下,单纯的铜或氧化锌的活性几乎可以忽略不计,而氧化铝或氧化铬主要起结构助剂的作用。由此可见,控制适宜的Cu-ZnO间的相互作用是提高甲醇合成活性的关键,因此,如何才能产生这种适宜的相互作用就成了人们极为重视的研究课题。到目前为止,人们普遍采用沉淀法制备铜基甲醇合成催化剂,试图通过改变各种制备条件来开发更好的     

沉淀方法对FeMnCu/ZnO合成低碳醇催化剂性能的影响

以分步连续沉淀法和共沉淀法制备了一系列FeMnCu/ZnO复合氧化物合成低碳醇催化剂，对其CO加氢合成低碳混合醇的反应性能进行了考察，并用ICP、XRD、BET、H2-TPR对其结构进行了表征。结果表明，沉淀方法不同对催化剂的催化性能有较大的影响。在T503K、P=8.0MPa，GHSV=8000h－1，H2/CO＝2(体积比)的条件下, 分步沉淀法制备的FeMnCu/ZnO催化剂醇的收率和C2+OH的质量分数均高于共沉淀法制备的催化剂。其中“Fe atop Cu”催化剂醇的收率最高，达到0.26g/mLcat·h，同时“Fe atop Cu”催化剂C2+OH的质量分数也最高，可达31.72%。XRD研究表明，分步沉淀法制备的催化剂促进了CuO和ZnO的分散，提高了催化剂的催化性能。BET测试结果表明，分步沉淀法有扩孔的作用，有利于长链醇的生成。TPR研究发现，共沉淀法制备的催化剂Cu物种较难还原，这是共沉淀催化剂合成醇性能较低的原因之一。     

微波辐射对浆态床合成甲醇CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂前驱体晶相转变的影响

在微波辐射条件下,对CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂的沉淀母液进行老化,通过XRD、TG、H2-TPR,FTIR、HR-TEM和XPS对前驱体及催化剂微观结构的进行表征,探讨了CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂前驱体晶相转变过程中微波辐射的作用。结果表明,微波辐射有利于Cu2+取代Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6中Zn2+的同晶取代反应。微波辐射的老化过程中,首先发生Cu2+取代Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6中Zn2+生成(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6的同晶取代反应,并于1.0 h内基本完成;随着老化时间继续延长,主要进行Zn2+取代Cu2(CO3)(OH)2中Cu2+生成(Cu,Zn)2(CO3)(OH)2的同晶取代反应,同时(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6进一步结晶。与常规老化1 h制备的前驱体相比,微波辐射老化1.0 h制备的前驱体含有较多的(Cu,Zn)5(CO3)2(OH)6物相,有助于增强焙烧后CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂中CuO-ZnO协同作用,提高表面铜含量,进而提高CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂在浆态床合成甲醇的催化活性和稳定性,在400 h浆态床合成甲醇评价期间,甲醇时空收率最大达318.9 g.kg-1.h-1,失活率仅为0.11%.d-1。     

溶剂极性对微波辐射老化制备前驱体及CuO/ZnO/Al2O3催化剂结构的影响

Cu‐Based Catalyst Resulting from a Cu,Zn,Al Hydrotalcite‐Like Compound: A Microstructural,Thermoanalytical, and In Situ XAS Study

A Cu‐based methanol synthesis catalyst was obtained from a phase pure Cu,Zn,Al hydrotalcite‐like precursor, which was prepared by co‐precipitation. This sample was intrinsically more active than a conventionally prepared Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Upon thermal decomposition in air, the [(Cu_0.5Zn_0.17Al_0.33)(OH)₂(CO₃)_0.17] ? mH₂O precursor is transferred into a carbonate‐modified, amorphous mixed oxide. The calcined catalyst can be described as well‐dispersed “CuO” within ZnAl₂O₄ still containing stabilizing carbonate with a strong interaction of Cu²⁺ ions with the Zn–Al matrix. The reduction of this material was carefully analyzed by complementary temperature‐programmed reduction (TPR) and near‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements. The results fully describe the reduction mechanism with a kinetic model that can be used to predict the oxidation state of Cu at given reduction conditions. The reaction proceeds in two steps through a kinetically stabilized Cu^I intermediate. With reduction, a nanostructured catalyst evolves with metallic Cu particles dispersed in a ZnAl₂O₄ spinel‐like matrix. Due to the strong interaction of Cu and the oxide matrix, the small Cu particles (7 nm) of this catalyst are partially embedded leading to lower absolute activity in comparison with a catalyst comprised of less‐embedded particles. Interestingly, the exposed Cu surface area exhibits a superior intrinsic activity, which is related to a positive effect of the interface contact of Cu and its surroundings.
