Spatially resolved Raman and UV-visible-NIR spectroscopy on the preparation of supported catalyst bodies: controlling the formation of H2PMo11CoO40 5- inside Al2O3 pellets during impregnation

The physicochemical processes that occur during the preparation of CoMo-Al2O3 hydrodesulfurization catalyst bodies have been investigated. To this end, the distribution of Mo and Co complexes, after impregnation of gamma-Al2O3 pellets with different CoMoP solutions (i.e., solutions containing Co, Mo, and phosphate), was monitored by Raman and UV-visible-NIR microspectroscopy. From the speciation of the different complexes over the catalyst bodies, insight was obtained into the interaction of the different components in the impregnation solution with the Al2O3 surface. It is shown that, after impregnation with a solution containing H2PMo11CoO40(5-), the reaction of phosphate with the Al2O3 leads to the disintegration of this complex. The consecutive independent transport of Co2+ complexes (fast) and Mo6+ complexes (slow) through the pores of the Al2O3 is envisaged. By the addition of extra phosphate and citrate to the impregnation solution, the formation of the desired heteropolyanion can be achieved inside the pellets. Ultimately, the H2PMo11CoO40(5-) distribution could be controlled by varying the aging time applied after impregnation. The power of a combination of spatially resolved spectroscopic techniques to monitor the preparation of supported catalyst bodies is illustrated.     

Envisaging the physicochemical processes during the preparation of supported catalysts: Raman microscopy on the impregnation of Mo onto Al2O3 extrudates

Raman microscopy has been applied to study the preparation of shaped Mo/Al(2)O(3) catalysts. The speciation of different Mo complexes over gamma-Al(2)O(3) support bodies was followed in time after pore volume impregnation with aqueous solutions containing different Mo complexes. The addition of NO(3-) to the impregnation solutions allows for a quantitative Raman analysis of the distribution of different complexes over the catalyst bodies as this ion can be used as an internal standard. After impregnation with an acidic ammonium heptamolybdate (AHM) solution, the strong interaction between Mo(7)O(24)(6-) and Al(2)O(3) results in slow transport of this complex through the support and extensive formation of Al(OH)(6)Mo(6)O(18)(3-) near the outer surface of the support bodies. This may be prevented by decreasing the interaction between Mo and Al(2)O(3). In this way, transport is facilitated and a homogeneous distribution of Mo is obtained on a reasonable time scale. A decrease in interaction between Mo and Al(2)O(3) can be achieved by using alkaline impregnation solutions or by the addition of complexing agents, such as citrate and phosphate, to the impregnation solution. In general, time-resolved in situ Raman microscopy can be a valuable tool to study the physicochemical processes during the preparation of supported catalysts.     

Weakening internal diffusion effect in selective hydrodesulfurization of FCC gasoline by novel designed eggshell CoMoS/Al2O3 catalysts

A simple method for preparation of presulfided eggshell CoMoS/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with sharp boundary is developed, through which the eggshell thicknesses of Co and Mo could be easily regulated by controlling the impregnation time. According to the results characterized by EDS, XRD, HRTEM and FT-IR of adsorbed CO, the active component structures, the nature and/or the amount of active sites on the eggshell catalyst are similar to these on the uniform catalyst. The evaluation results of the catalytic performance in selective hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of FCC gasoline show the presence of significant internal diffusion inhibition effect on HDS of S-compounds especially in the uniform catalyst. Compared with uniform catalyst, the eggshell catalyst could remarkably reduce such an internal diffusion inhibition effect due to a shortened diffusion path of the reactants, thus showing higher HDS activity and selectivity.     

CO吸附原位红外光谱结合分子模拟计算研究FCC汽油加氢脱硫催化剂的选择性

以脱硫选择性不同的2组催化裂化汽油加氢脱硫催化剂为研究对象, 采用CO吸附原位红外光谱表征了2组催化剂的活性相特征, 并通过分子模拟计算方法比较了助剂Co加入前后噻吩和1-己烯在催化剂表面的电荷分布、吸附能及其加氢反应的活化能等, 探讨了助剂Co的加入对选择性加氢脱硫催化剂脱硫选择性的作用机理. 结果表明, 加氢脱硫催化剂CoMoS活性相的增加有利于提高催化剂的加氢脱硫/加氢降烯烃(HDS/HYD)选择性. 与1-己烯加氢位相比, Co的加入显著提高了噻吩分子加氢位的缺电子性, 噻吩在催化剂表面的吸附度增强, 显著降低噻吩加氢反应的能垒, 从而使噻吩加氢反应更易进行. 这也表明CoMoS为高HDS活性、高HDS/HYD选择性的活性相.

Catalytic methanation reaction over alumina supported cobalt oxide doped noble metal oxides for the purification of simulated natural gas

A series of alumina supported cobalt oxide based catalysts doped with noble metals such as ruthenium and platinum were prepared by wet impregnation method.The variables studied were difference ratio and calcination temperatures.Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at 700 ℃ was found to be the best catalyst which able to convert 70.10% of CO2 into methane with 47% of CH4 formation at maximum temperature studied of 400 ℃.X-ray diffraction analysis showed that this catalyst possessed the active site Co3O4 in face-centered cubic and PtO2 in the orthorhombic phase with Al2O3 existed in the cubic phase.According to the FESEM micrographs,both fresh and spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalysts displayed small particle size with undefined shape.Nitrogen Adsorption analysis showed that 5.50% reduction of the total surface area for the spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst.Meanwhile,Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis(EDX) indicated that Co and Pt were reduced by 0.74% and 0.14% respectively on the spent Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3catalyst.Characterization using FT-IR and TGA-DTA analysis revealed the existence of residual nitrate and hydroxyl compounds on the Pt/Co(10∶90)/Al2O3 catalyst.     

Study on Au/Al2O3 catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation in situ FT-IR

Au/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by a modified anion impregnation method and investigated with respect to its initial activity and stability for low-temperature CO oxidation. The activity changes of the catalyst were examined after separate treatment in CO+O2 or CO2+O2. Furthermore, in situ FT-IR studies were performed to investigate the species on the surface when CO or CO+O2 or CO2+O2 was selected separately as adsorption gas. The results showed that Au/Al2O3 catalyst exhibited very high initial activity, but the catalytic activity was found to decrease gradually during CO oxidation with time on stream. And also, the activity of the catalyst declined after treatment in CO+O2 or CO2+O2. The formation and accumulation of carbonate-like species during CO oxidation or treatment in CO+O2 or CO2+O2 might be mainly responsible for the activity decrease, which was reversible.

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on anchored Co/Nb2O5/Al2O3 catalysts: the nature of the surface and the effect on chain growth

A series of Co/x%Nb2O5/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by anchoring niobia on an Al2O3 support at different niobia concentrations. Characterization of the structure and nature of surface active sites was attempted in order to correlate the CO hydrogenation activity of these systems with those of the Co/Al2O3 and Co/Nb2O5 catalysts. The effect of the reduction temperature on the CO hydrogenation activity and selectivity was studied, showing that interaction of cobalt and niobia surface species favored the selectivity for hydrocarbon chain growth. However, this effect is less pronounced on the niobia-promoted Co/Al2O3 compared to Co/Nb2O5 catalysts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) results on Co/x%Nb2O5/Al2O3 showed prevailing amounts of Co2+ and Co3+ after calcination and reduction at 573 K, while, after reduction at 773 K, besides metallic cobalt, the Co2+ species still remains in contact with alumina, even for higher niobia loading. It seems that during this process formation and destruction of new interfaces involving Co0-NbOx sites takes place. Results suggest that Co0, Co0-Co2+, and Co0-NbOx are the active sites at the surface. The relative abundance of Co2+ species affects greatly the performance of the catalysts. DRIFTS and selectivity results suggest that these sites might be responsible for the reaction chain growth and therefore for the drastic change in the selectivity of CH4 and C5+ hydrocarbons mainly on the Co/Nb2O5 catalyst. DRIFTS results on Co/Nb2O5/Al2O3 showed the formation of -C=C- and -CH3- besides CHxO species. With increasing reduction temperature, the -C=C- species disappear while -CH3- fragments increased markedly, suggesting the formation of increasing amounts of hydrocarbons with higher chain length.     

碳纳米管负载Co-Mo催化剂在孤岛减压渣油加氢裂化反应中的应用

采用等体积浸渍法制备了一系列不同Co/Mo原子比的碳纳米管（CNT）负载Co Mo催化剂。将该系列催化剂用于孤岛减压渣油加氢裂化反应,评价其催化效果,并在相同反应条件下与 γAl2O3负载Co-Mo催化剂的催化性能进行比较。结果表明,Co-Mo/CNT催化剂的催化效果略低于Co-Mo/γAl2O3催化剂。Co/Mo原子比对Co-Mo/CNT催化剂的催化效果有较大的影响。与相同载体的催化剂相比,当Co/Mo原子比为0.50时,Co-Mo/CNT催化剂具有最佳的催化效果,而Co-Mo/γAl2O3催化剂在Co/Mo原子比为0.35时具有最佳的催化效果。     

Structure of the active sites of Co-Mo Hydrodesulfurization catalysts as studied by magnetic susceptibility measurement and NO adsorption

The elucidation of a molecular structure of the active sites (i.e., the Co-Mo-S phase) of Co-Mo hydrodesulfurization catalysts has received extensive attention. In the present study, we unambiguously determined, for the first time, the NO adsorption behavior and magnetic property of the Co-Mo-S phase by preparing unique Co-Mo/Al(2)O(3) catalysts (CVD-Co/MoS(2)/Al(2)O(3)), in which all the Co atoms are present as the Co-Mo-S phase. The catalysts were characterized by NO adsorption (pulse technique and FTIR), Co K-edge XANES, and the magnetic susceptibility and effective magnetic moment of Co. Nitric oxide molecules were adsorbed on 33% of the Co atoms in CVD-Co/MoS(2)/Al(2)O(3) after sulfidation and on only half of the Co atoms even after an H(2)-treatment of the sulfided catalyst at 573-673 K. The Co atoms in CVD-Co/MoS(2)/Al(2)O(3) exclusively exhibited an antiferromagnetic property, indicating that even-numbered Co atoms are interacting with each other in the Co-Mo-S phase. A Co-Mo/Al(2)O(3) catalyst, prepared by a conventional impregnation technique, was composed of the antiferromagnetic Co sulfide species as observed in CVD-Co/MoS(2)/Al(2)O(3) in addition to Co(9)S(8). On the basis of the NO adsorption behavior and magnetic property, it is empirically proposed that the structure of the Co-Mo-S phase is represented as a Co sulfide dinuclear cluster located on the edge of MoS(2) particles. The magnetic property of Co/Al(2)O(3) sulfide catalysts depended on the preparation method.     

RhCo双金属催化剂的研究 I. RhCo双金属催化剂的金属-金属及金属-载体相互作用

利用XPS对以金属盐共浸渍制备的Rh+Co/Al2O3和Rh2Co2(CO)12为前体制备的Rh2Co2/Al2O3催化剂的金属-金属及金属-载体相互作用进行了详细研究。发现Rh+Co/Al2O3经400℃H2还原后, Rh的结合能与Rh^0的结合能接近, Co基本上以CoAl2O4状态存在, Co^0的谱峰很弱; 而Rh2Co2/Al2O3经400℃H2还原后, Rh的结合能与Rh^0接近, Co除以CoAl2O4状态存在外, 还有相当一部分以Co^0状态存在。上述结果揭示出两个样品的Rh-Al2O3的相互作用弱, Co-Al2O3的相互作用强。Rh+Co/Al2O3上Rh-Co相互作用弱, 而Rh2Co2/Al2O3在H2还原后仍保持RhCo簇合物的强的Rh-Co相互作用, 导致显著量的Co^0存在。     

Preparation, characterization, and catalytic activity of CoMo/gamma-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by equilibrium deposition filtration and conventional impregnation techniques

A CoMo/gamma-Al(2)O(3) catalyst, prepared by depositing on the Al(2)O(3) carrier first the Mo species via equilibrium deposition filtration (EDF) and then the Co species by dry impregnation, was compared to three CoMo/gamma-Al(2)O(3) samples prepared using various conventional impregnation methods. All samples had the same composition, corresponding to an atomic ratio Co/(Co+Mo) equal to 0.3. The above samples were characterized using various physicochemical techniques (AAS, BET, DRS, LRS, XPS, TPR, and NO chemisorption), and their catalytic activity was determined using the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene as a probe reaction. The EDF-prepared catalyst was about 30-43% more active in HDS than those prepared with the conventional impregnation techniques at all reaction temperatures studied. In contrast, the EDF catalyst exhibited the lowest hydrogenation activity. The higher HDS activity of the EDF sample is attributed to the higher number of active HDS sites formed on its surface. It is concluded that the increased number of active sites is due to the fact that the deposition of the Mo species by EDF results to a higher coverage of the support surface by supported molybdenum phase, which in turn, inhibits the formation of the catalytically inactive CoAl(2)O(4) and favors the dispersion of octahedral cobalt on its surface.     

P对Cu/Al2O3催化剂结构及其催化甘油氢解反应性能的影响

采用分步浸渍法制备了P改性的Cu/Al2O3催化剂,利用N2吸附-脱附、X射线衍射、红外光谱、紫外-可见光谱、H2程序升温还原、NH3程序升温脱附和N2O解离吸附等方法对催化剂进行了表征,考察了P含量及浸渍次序对催化剂结构及其催化甘油氢解反应性能的影响.结果表明,先浸渍P再浸渍Cu时,所制Cu/Al2O3催化剂酸性较高,同时还促进了Cu的分散.随P含量的增加,催化剂的酸量及Cu分散度提高,并且Cu与P物种的相互作用增强;然而,P含量较高时会覆盖Cu,使暴露的Cu表面降低.先浸渍Cu后浸渍P时,尽管也提高了相应催化剂的酸性,但对Cu分散的影响不大,并且还会覆盖Cu使暴露的Cu表面明显降低.先浸渍P明显提高了Cu/Al2O3上甘油氢解反应性能.在220oC,3MPa,质量空速2h?1以及H2/甘油摩尔比20的条件下,当P含量由0增加至6%时,甘油转化率从17.1%升至95.0%,1,2-丙二醇选择性从83.7%升至97.2%.这可归因于催化剂酸性的提高及Cu与P间的相互作用.     

Noninvasive in situ visualization of supported catalyst preparations using multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging

Multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is employed as a new noninvasive tool for monitoring supported catalyst preparation by visualizing precursor transport within the porous support. In particular, liquid phase 31P MRI experiments were used to visualize the dynamics of H3PO4 penetration into an alumina pellet and have revealed a strong interaction of H3PO4 with the support. Solid state 31P MRI was applied to map the distribution of the adsorbed phosphate inside the support after its drying. Comparison of the liquid phase and solid phase MRI results confirms the correlation of the phosphate distribution in the liquid phase during impregnation and the phosphate adsorbed on the support. The possibility to monitor the transport of metal atoms within the support by a direct detection of their NMR signal is demonstrated for 195Pt nucleus during impregnation of an alumina pellet with an aqueous solution of H2PtCl6. Other possible strategies for the utilization of MRI to characterize in situ the preparation of supported catalysts and other supported materials are briefly discussed.     

锆改性钴基费-托合成催化剂催化性能的研究

 考察了助剂锆和金属钴负载量对锆改性Co／Al2O3催化剂催化性能的影响．结果表明，锆助剂能够高度分散在氧化铝载体上，而活性组分钴以一定尺寸存在；锆的添加能够明显地提高Co／Al2O3催化剂的催化活性和C5＋烃选择性，但助剂锆含量对催化剂催化性能的影响不大；在锆存在下，催化剂的催化活性随金属钴含量先升高后降低．进一步的研究表明，催化剂上烃形成速率的提高可能是由于锆助剂能够增加催化剂的活性位数目，增强桥式CO吸附的强度，在Co－ZrO2间形成界面．     

镍钼杂多酸制备NiMo/γ-Al2O3催化剂及硼、钴或镍改性氧化铝的影响（英文）

A hydrotreating NiMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst(12 wt% Mo and 1.1 wt% Ni) was prepared by impregnation of the support with the Anderson-type heteropolyoxomolybdate(NH4)4Ni(OH)6Mo6O18.Before impregnation of the support,it was modified with an aqueous solution of H3BO3,Co(NO3)2,or Ni(NO3)2.The catalysts were investigated using N2 adsorption,O2 chemisorption,X-ray diffraction,UV-Vis spectroscopy,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,temperature-programmed reduction,temperature-programmed desorption,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The addition of Co,Ni,or B influenced the Al2O3 phase composition and gave increased catalytic activity for 1-benzothiophene hydrodesulfurization(HDS).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the prior loading of Ni,Co or B increased the degree of sulfidation of the NiMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts.The highest HDS activity was observed with the NiMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst with prior loaded Ni.     

载体表面修饰对Cu-Co-Fe/Al2O3合成醇催化剂性质的影响

 采用不同pH值的HNO3或KOH水溶液对Al2O3载体表面进行修饰,研究了修饰后Cu－Co－Fe1．2／Al2O3合成醇催化剂的物相结构、表面性质和还原行为的变化规律．发现载体的表面修饰不仅能影响活性组分的物相结构和分散度,而且能改变活性组分与载体间的相互作用程度和催化剂的孔径分布．在低pH值溶液中修饰的载体上,Co组分容易分散,而在高pH值溶液中修饰的载体上,Cu组分容易分散．随着修饰液pH值的增大,Cu－Co－Fe1．2／Al2O3催化剂的还原温度先降低,经过最低点后升高,而催化剂的平均孔径呈减小趋势．     

有机添加物对Cu-Co-Fe合成醇催化剂的修饰作用

 采用并流共沉淀法制备了Cu-Co-Fe合成醇催化剂,通过改变有机添加物,对Cu-Co-Fe催化剂前驱物的结构和表面状态进行修饰和改性,考察了不同有机添加物对催化剂结构的影响规律. 不同添加物可以修饰调节催化剂的晶粒大小、比表面积和孔径分布. 加入草酸或丙烯酰胺,可使CuO(111)和Co3O4(110)晶粒度增大,比表面积减小,孔径较大的过渡孔分数增大. 柠檬酸为添加物时,催化剂中CuO和Co3O4晶粒度较小,比表面积较大,孔径主要分布在小于10 nm的细孔区.     

渣油加氢处理过程中Mo-V/Al_2O_3的催化性能及协同效应

采用孔饱和浸渍法制备了不同Mo/(Mo+V)原子比的Mo-V/Al2O3催化剂,运用拉曼光谱、H2程序升温还原和高分辨透射电镜对催化剂进行了表征,同时以萘为模型化合物,考察了催化剂的加氢活性;以科威特常渣为原料,考察了其加氢脱金属和脱硫活性.结果表明,在上述反应中,Mo与V具有协同作用.由于渣油中金属和硫的存在形态不同,并且V-Mo-S相和V-S相对于渣油加氢脱金属反应的催化作用要大于渣油加氢脱硫反应,因此与Ni-Mo/Al2O3催化剂相比,Mo-V/Al2O3催化剂的脱金属活性较高,而脱硫活性较低.
