Some peculiarities of cyclohexane conversion on zeolite catalysts

Cyclohexane conversion on zeolite and zeolite-containing catalysts has been examined. The formation of cracking, isomerization and dehydrogenation products is suggested to follow two parallel independent mechanisms through different intermediate carbocations.

Rhodium-technetium catalysts in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane

The catalytic properties of a Rh-Tc/support (-Al₂O₃, SiO₂, or MgO) system in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane have been investigated. A nonadditive increase in the catalytic activity of bimetallic catalysts in comparison with monometallic systems has been established. This effect depends on the ratio of the amounts of the supported metals and on the nature of the support. Diffuse reflectance spectra showed the presence of ionic forms of the metals in the bimetallic catalysts. Analysis of the catalytic and optical properties allowed one to draw the conclusion that the synergistic effect is explained by the formation of Rh_xTc_y clusters.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Solvent-free synthesis of zeolite catalysts

The most used method for preparation of zeolites is hydrothermal synthesis from silicate or aluminosilicate gels at temperatures in the range of 60–200°C.Excess water used in the industrial process results in several issues,including high autogeneous pressure,low efficiency,pollution,etc.To solve these problems,several strategies have been developed.This review describes the solvent-free synthesis of zeolites.The combination of solvent-free synthesis and organotemplate-free synthesis can open the pathway to a highly sustainable zeolite synthesis protocol in industry.

Study of regioselective dialkylation of naphthalene in the presence of reusable zeolite catalysts

Highly regioselective dialkylation of naphthalene using various alkylating agents can be achieved over zeolite catalysts. For example, the tert-butylation of naphthalene (1) using tert-butanol in cyclohexane over a dealuminated H-Mordenite (HM) zeolite has been optimised to give a 60% yield of 2.6-di-tert-butylnaphthalene (3) with a 2.6/2.7 ratio of over 50. This has been achieved by varying the reaction time, temperature, solvent, pressure, amount of tert-butanol, solvent and catalyst, Si/Al ratio of the catalyst, and the mode of addition. The zeolites can be easily regenerated by heating and reused.     

Synthesis of adamantane on zeolite catalysts

The synthesis of adamantane from tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene on zeolites with different framework structures was studied. The adamantane yield on HY zeolites is higher than on HM and HZSM-5 zeolites. Among various types of dealuminated HY zeolites the HEY and HUSY zeolites give higher adamantane yields than conventional HY zeolite. The changes in activity and selectivity of the main and side reactions are correlated with the acidity and the pore structure of the zeolites. To ion-exchange the HY and HUSY zeolites with Ni2+ and La3+ cations may further improve the activity and selectivity of the zeolite catalysts.     

Dimerization of norbornene on zeolite catalysts

Neutron activation analysis of zeolite catalysts

A new method for the determination of aluminum and silicon has been developed for zeolite catalysts. In contrast to previous methods, thermal neutrons are used for the analysis of both elements, and cadmium absorbers are not needed. The silicon determination utilizes a one-hour irradiation to observe the³¹Si produced by the (n, ) reaction of³⁰Si. A 15-second irradiation is used for the²⁷Al(n, )²⁸Al reaction. The²⁸Al activity is corrected for the contribution from the²⁸Si(n,p)²⁸Al reaction by using the analyzed weight of silicon in the sample and the data for a silicon standard irradiated simultaneously with the zeolite and the aluminum standard. The quantitation limits are 0.012 g for silicon and 3.3×10^–5 g for aluminum. Sodium presents a significant interference, but this element can be removed by taking advantage of the ion exchange properties of these materials.

Study of the acidity of zeolite alkylation catalysts by temperature programmed ammonia desorption

The temperature programmed desorption (TPD) spectrum of ammonia from HLaCaNaY alkylation catalysts shows a strong band with maximum at 389°C, which virtually coincides with the optimal sample activation temperature (380°C). The TPD spectrum was found to account for the specific features of the acidity of these alkylation catalysts.

The properties of supported rhenium catalysts in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane

The 2 % Re/sibunite catalyst is more active than 2 % Re/-Al₂O₃ and 2 % Re/-Al₂O₃ catalysts in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane into benzene (T = 350 °C,w = 0.5 h–1). The substitution of NH₄ReO₄ by HReO₄ in the preparation of the catalyst enhances its activity by a factor of 1.3. Treatment with HNO₃ or oxalic acid increases the selectivity by a factor of 1.2 and 1.35, respectively, the overall conversion of cyclohexane being 32–40 %.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
