Catalytic benzene mono-alkylation over three catalysts: improving activity and selectivity with M-Y catalyst

Modified Y type catalyst (M-Y) shows great potential for the preparation of toluene attribute to catalyst topology and synergistic effect of Lewis acid and Brönsted acid in the alkylation reaction. However, it still remains a big challenge to build a reaction mechanism. Thereby, based on the study of HZSM-5, H-beta and M-Y catalysts structure and physical properties, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectra and Pyridine adsorption infrared. The activity of catalysts was tested in benzene alkylation with methanol and was found to be in the following increasing order: Na-Y (no effect)?<?H-Y?<<?HZSM-5?<?H-beta?<?M-Y.     

P-Al/NaX结构和酸碱性位调控对甲苯甲醇侧链烷基化性能影响

采用水热法原位合成了P-Al/NaX催化剂,然后通过浸渍NaOH对其进行酸碱性调控,并探究了它在甲苯甲醇侧链烷基化反应中的催化性能。结合X射线衍射（XRD）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、N₂吸附-脱附等表征及催化活性数据发现,原位负载P、Al后,合成的磷铝硅酸盐（Na₁₃Al₂₄Si₁₃P₁₁O₉₆·H₂O）结构展现出较好的甲苯甲醇侧链烷基催化活性;随着NaOH负载量的增加,乙苯和苯乙烯的选择性呈先上升后下降的趋势,当负载质量分数为9%的NaOH时,苯乙烯选择性为45.84%,乙苯和苯乙烯的收率之和达到63.08%。这可能是由于NaOH的负载有利于催化剂表面碱性的提高和酸性的降低,而高的强碱性位和弱酸性位数量有利于甲苯甲醇侧链烷基化反应的进行。     

甲醇芳构化中催化剂酸性对脱烷基、烷基化和异构化反应的影响

在Zn/P/ZSM-5催化剂上研究了甲醇、二甲苯、甲苯和甲醇等不同进料下芳烃产品分布随反应积碳的变化, 发现催化剂积碳对芳构化反应、脱烷基反应和烷基化反应的影响不同. 在不同硅铝摩尔比(Si/Al 比)和Zn负载量的Zn/P/ZSM-5 催化剂上进行甲醇转化, 考察催化剂酸性位点强度、密度和类型与芳烃收率和产品分布之间的关系, 发现当强酸位点酸密度下降时, 脱烷基反应最先被抑制, 其次是芳构化反应和异构化反应, 而烷基化反应却不受影响. 在Si/Al 比为14, 3% (w) Zn 负载量的Zn/P/ZSM-5 催化剂上可得到75%左右的芳烃收率, 二甲苯收率在35%左右, 具有重要的工业应用前景.     

ZSM-5催化丙烯芳构化反应构效关系及反应特性

甲醇两步制芳烃反应中低碳烯烃芳构化反应稳定性优异,为分析其内在机制,制备了不同硅铝比(n_SiO2/n_Al2O3)及Zn负载量的ZSM-5催化剂,以丙烯芳构化为模型反应,分析ZSM-5表面酸性对低碳烯烃芳构化反应性能的影响规律,并探究反应微观特性。发现当硅铝比由150降至75时,增加的酸密度促进了烯烃氢转移芳构化过程,使芳烃选择性由31.0%增至34.4%,但丙烯直接参与的氢转移过程也被强化,使丙烷产物选择性由28.2%增至36.0%。引入Zn助剂可将部分Br?nsted酸转变为ZnLewis酸,强化烯烃脱氢芳构化过程,使芳烃选择性进一步显著增加到62.4%。丙烯芳构化过程中芳烃烷基化深度比甲醇芳构化过程低,提升总芳烃选择性的同时,也明显抑制了难溶性积碳的形成,使反应稳定性明显提升。由此得出,甲醇两步制芳烃过程中甲醇制低碳烯烃过程对甲醇的预先消耗,抑制了低碳烯烃芳构化反应芳烃产物的深度烷基化,是该反应表现出优异稳定性的重要原因。     

HF改性的Pt/ZSM-5催化剂在苯和甲醇烷基化反应中的应用

以HF改性的Pt/ZSM-5为催化剂,研究了其在苯和甲醇烷基化反应的应用,并用XRD、NH₃-TPD、BET等表征方法研究了改性前后催化剂酸性和孔结构变化。 结果表明,经HF改性后,Pt/ZSM-5催化剂的酸性增强、酸量增加,苯和甲醇烷基化反应性能明显提升。 3%HF-0.2%Pt/ZSM-5催化剂催化苯和甲醇烷基化反应时,甲苯和二甲苯选择性达到92.20%。 但是,HF负载量大于6%时,HF脱除的部分骨架硅和骨架铝会堆积在催化剂孔道内部,限制了反应物和产物的扩散,造成其催化性能下降。 通过计算得到了HF改性的Pt/ZSM-5催化剂上苯和甲醇烷基化反应的活化能为118 kJ/mol。     

Ni‐W Catalysts Supported on HZSM‐5/HMS for the Hydrogenation Reaction of Aromatic Compounds: Effect of Ni/W Ratio on Activity,Stability, and Kinetics

Ni‐W/HZSM5‐HMS catalysts were evaluated for the benzene hydrogenation reaction at 130–190°C. To study the catalyst characterization, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared, UV–vis, diffuse reflectance spectra, temperature‐programmed desorption of NH₃, FT‐IR of adsorbed pyridine measurements (Py‐IR), H₂ chemisorption, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, and TGA techniques were used. Kinetics of benzene hydrogenation was investigated under various hydrogen and benzene pressures, and the effect of reaction conditions on catalytic performance was studied. The results showed that bimetallic catalysts have better ability than a monometallic catalyst (Ni/HZSM5‐HMS) for this reaction, such as maximum benzene conversion (100%), minimum toluene conversion (1.76–40%), very low converted xylene, benzene selectivity (100%), good catalytic stability against coke deposition, and appropriate kinetic parameters.     

Synthesis of Cumene from Lignin by Catalytic Transformation

Cumene is an important intermediate and chemical in chemical industry.In this work,directional preparation of cumene using lignin was achieved by a three-step cascade process.The mixture aromatics were first produced by the catalytic pyrolysis of lignin at 450℃ over 1% Zn/HZSM-5 catalyst,monocyclic aromatics with the selectivity of 85.7 wt% were obtained.Then,the catalytic dealkylation of heavier aromatics resulted in benzene-rich aromatics with 93.6 wt% benzene at 600℃ over Hβ catalyst.Finally,the cumene synthesis was performed by the aromatic alkylation,giving cumene selectivity of 91.6 C-mol% using the[bmim]Cl-2AlCl₁₃ ionic liquid at room temperature for 15 min.Besides,adding a small amount of methanol to the feed can efficiently suppress the coke yield and enhance the aromatics yield.The proposed transformation potentially provides a useful route for production of cumene using renewable lignin.     

Effect of phosphorus on the performance of IM-5 for the alkylation of toluene with methanol into p-xylene

IM-5 zeolite was modified with different amounts of phosphorus species. The effect of the introduction of phosphorus into IM-5 zeolite (P-IM-5) was evaluated on the alkylation of toluene with methanol. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N₂ physical adsorption, ³¹P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, Fourier transform infrared spectra of pyridine, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-pyridine and 2,6-lutidine adsorption, and thermogravimetric analysis after reaction. The results showed that the zeolite structure was not changed, but the total amount of acid sites decreased with increasing phosphorus loading. The phosphorus-modified IM-5 samples exhibited much higher stability on the alkylation of toluene with methanol than the parent zeolite and the optimal phosphorus amount added was 0.5 wt %. The excellent catalytic performance could be ascribed to the low ratio of B/L acid sites upon phosphorus modification, which suppressed coke formation.     

The miracle role of lattice imperfections in benzene alkylation with methanol over mordenite

Mordenite (MOR) has demonstrated potential as a catalyst for alkylation due to high variability, intrinsic porosity, and outstanding stability. However, the contact probability of benzene and methanol has been limited by typical layered structures of MOR and there is no connection between layers. Here, we report the preparedness of H-MOR via a sequential post-treatment method based on a commercial MOR. H-MOR sample had appeared lattice imperfections inferred from characterization means. The samples were tested with benezene methylation reaction. Results show that the high conversion of benzene and the high selectivity of toluene were obtained from the miracle role of lattice imperfections in the H-MOR sample. Sequentially, based on the study of all catalyst structure and physical properties, a plausible reaction mechanism for the selectivity of the desired toluene was proposed.     

Catalytic Conversion of Biomass-Derived Polyols into Para-xylene over SiO2-Modified Zeolites

This work proved that biomass-based polyols (sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, glycerol and ethanediol) were able to be converted into high-value chemical (p-xylene) by catalytic cracking of polyols, alkylation of aromatics, and the isomerization of xylenes over the SiO₂-modified zeolites. Compared to the conventional HZSM-5 zeolite, the SiO₂-containing zeolites considerably increased the selectivity and yield of p-xylene due to the reduction of external surface acidity and the narrowing of pore entrance. The influences of the methanol additive, reaction temperature, and types of polyols on the selectivity and yield of p-xylene were investigated in detail. Catalytic cracking of polyols with methanol significantly enhanced the production of p-xylene by the alkylation of toluene with methanol. The highest p-xylene yield of 10.9 C-mol% with a p-xylene/xylenes ratio of 91.1% was obtained over the 15wt%SiO₂/HZSM-5 catalyst. The reaction pathway for the formation of p-xylene was addressed according to the study of the key reactions and the characterization of catalysts.     

碱性X分子筛催化甲苯与甲醇侧链烷基化自由基机理研究

苯乙烯是重要的工业原料,年消耗量约3000万吨。传统工艺中,苯乙烯由乙苯催化脱氢得到。由于传统工艺高能耗,高污染,甲苯与甲醇侧链烷基化合成苯乙烯引起了人们广泛关注,但是目前该路线进入工业化还有很多问题需要解决,甚至催化机理仍不明确。本文对甲苯侧链烷基化机理及提高反应选择性等方面进行了研究。采用离子交换法制备CsX分子筛,在固定床反应器上进行甲苯与氘代甲醇的同位素示踪实验和硝基甲苯的侧链烷基化实验,结合量子计算明确反应机理。采用IGA-002系统测定甲醇在CsX, KX和NaX上的等温吸附线,考察甲醇在分子筛不同笼结构中的吸附情况。将氘代甲苯与甲苯在CsX, KX和活性炭催化下进行氢氘交换实验,检验自由基在不同催化剂上的稳定性。以CO2为载气进行甲苯与甲醇侧链烷基化实验,考察CO2对反应的影响。甲苯与氘代甲醇进行侧链烷基化反应时,大多数氘出现在甲苯上,仅少数氘存在于苯乙烯及乙苯上,表明甲苯氢与甲醇的甲基氘进行了氢氘交换。量子化学计算表明,甲苯与甲醇的氢氘交换沿自由基路径的能垒远小于沿离子路径的。氘代实验和量子计算结果表明,甲苯侧链烷基化过程中存在自由基,但并不能证明侧链烷基化是自由基反应。为了验证甲苯侧链烷基化反应是否为自由基机理,以4-硝基甲苯(NO2-Ph-CH3)代替甲苯与甲醇进行侧链烷基化反应。硝基是强吸电子基团,能稳定苄基负离子,如果甲苯侧链烷基化是离子反应,硝基甲苯侧链烷基化产物收率会升高。另外,硝基又能与活泼自由基生成稳定自由基,若反应为自由基机理,则硝基甲苯不发生侧链烷基化反应。分析结果表明,反应液中不存在侧链烷基化产物,确定了甲苯侧链烷基化反应为自由基机理,而不是离子机理。热力学上甲醇更容易进行生成CO和H2等的副反应,从而减少CH3?与H?碰撞甲醇的几率。甲醇等温吸附线显示甲醇在NaX和KX上的吸附容量相近且远大于CsX上的,表明Cs+阻碍了甲醇进入X分子筛的β-笼。由于甲苯不能进入β-笼, NaX和KX的β-笼内甲醇与甲基自由基接触发生副反应。 CsX催化时Cs+阻碍甲醇进入β-笼而抑制了副反应的发生,提高了甲醇利用率。甲苯与氘代甲苯在CsX, KX和活性炭上进行氢氘交换,反应物用GC-MS分析。结果表明,在CsX上氢氘交换进行得更彻底,在活性炭上几乎没有氢氘交换。 X分子筛活化甲苯为自由基的效果优于活性炭,这可能是推拉效应造成的。当甲苯进入分子筛后, Lewis酸性阳离子与苯环络合并吸引电子,催化剂阴离子骨架与甲苯的甲基作用并供给电子,推电子与吸电子共同作用使甲苯更容易生成苄基自由基,并使其更稳定。 CsX对甲苯的活化作用强于KX,表明CsX的酸碱搭配更有助于甲苯生成自由基。这也是CsX催化甲苯与甲醇侧链烷基化效果优于KX的原因。以CO2替代N2作为载气能显著提高苯乙烯的选择性,这是由于CO2的存在降低了H?和CH3?的浓度,提高了?CH2OH的浓度。?CH2OH与甲苯生成苯乙烯, H?的减少降低了苯乙烯加氢生成乙苯。     

MoO3 Nanobelt-Modified HMCM-49 Zeolite with Enhanced Dispersion of Mo Species and Catalytic Performance for Methane Dehydro-Aromatization

The methane dehydro-aromatization reaction (MDA) is a promising methane valorization process due to the conversion of methane to value-added aromatics (benzene, toluene and naphthalene). However, one of the major disadvantages of utilizing zeolite in MDA is that the catalyst is rapidly inactivated due to coke formation, which eventually causes the activity and aromatic selectivity to decrease. Consequently, the process is not conducive to large-scale industrial applications. The reasonable control of Mo site distribution on the zeolite surface is the key factor for partially inhibiting the coking of the catalyst and improving stability. Here, MoO₃ nanobelts can be used for alternative Mo precursors to prepare MDA catalysts. Catalysts modified with MoO₃ nanobelts present higher activity (13.4%) and benzene yield (9.2%) than those catalysts loaded with commercial MoO₃.     

Toluene Alkylation with Methanol to p-Xylene over Heteropoly Acids Supported by Clay

The alkylation of toluene with methanol for the selective formation of p-xylene was systematically studied. Very few studies have been reported on the use of superacids such as heteropolyacids on cheap supports, such as clay. This article deals with the use of different heteropoly acids (HPAs), viz, Dodeca-Tungstophosphoric acid [H3PO4·12WO3·xH2O] (TPA), Dodeca-Molybdo phosphoric acid ammonium salt hydrate [H12Mo12N3O40P aq] (DMAA), Dodeca-Molybdo Phosphoric acid (PMA) on clay (Montmorillonite, K-10) and as such plain clay. This comparative study reveals that 20%PMA/Clay shows 62% toluene conversion and 100% selectivity toward p-xylene.

ZnZrOx-HZSM-5双功能催化剂催化甲苯与合成气烷基化制对二甲苯

作为重要的有机化工原料,近些年来随着聚酯行业的高速发展,对二甲苯(PX)需求量逐年增高.目前,PX主要通过传统的石油路线生产,例如石脑油催化重整、甲苯歧化和C₈芳烃异构化,这些路线的后续精馏能耗较高.甲醇作为碳源与甲苯烷基化制备PX有效提高了目标产物的选择性,且已实现工业化.然而,由于甲醇生成甲氧基烷基化物种的能垒较高,使反应温度较高,促进了甲醇制烯烃(MTO)副反应的进行,降低了甲醇利用率;且由于积炭的形成,催化剂容易失活.合成气是非石油基资源如煤炭、天然气和生物质等利用的重要平台,在转化为醇类、烯烃以及芳烃路径中将经过甲氧基中间体,因此,本文研发以合成气代替甲醇与甲苯烷基化制备PX的催化剂和催化过程.基于本课题组关于CO₂加氢耦合甲苯烷基化制PX的研究基础,本文将ZnZrO_x(ZZO)与ZSM-5(Z5)混合制得双功能催化剂,用于合成气转化耦合甲苯烷基化制PX.研究结果表明,通过优化催化剂的组成和烷基化反应条件,调控CO加氢反应和甲苯烷基化反应的匹配性,在甲苯转化率为10.3%时,可获得64.8%的二甲苯选择性(不计水煤气变换反应),其中PX占81.8%,气态烃副产物的选择性为10.9%;在相同条件下采用甲醇为烷基化试剂时,二甲苯选择性仅38.5%,其中PX占38.8%,此时气态烃副产物的选择性达26.2%.同位素效应实验结果表明,二甲苯中新增甲基来自于合成气,而非甲苯的歧化反应.催化剂构效研究结果表明,PX的选择性与分子筛孔径、酸性强度以及Br?nsted酸性位点有关;原位红外结果也证实了该反应呈现逆同位素效应(k_H2/k_D2=0.92),表明反应中甲酸盐物种(HCOO*)加氢可能是反应的决速步骤.与传统的甲醇甲苯烷基化路径相比,采用来源广泛和成本较低的合成气与甲苯进行烷基化反应的温度(340℃)更低,有效避免了MTO副反应的发生,同时,该催化剂可在100 h内保持良好稳定性.综上,本工作结果为高效制备高值芳烃PX提供了新思路.
