Structure and oxidation state of silica-supported manganese oxide catalysts and reactivity for acetone oxidation with ozone

Silica-supported manganese oxide catalysts with loadings of 3, 10, 15, and 20 wt % (as MnO2) were characterized with use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The edge positions in the X-ray absorption spectra indicated that the oxidation state for the manganese decreased with increasing metal oxide loading from a value close to that of Mn2O3 (+3) to a value close to that of Mn3O4 (+2(2)/3). The XRD was consistent with these results as the diffractograms for the supported catalysts of higher manganese oxide loading matched those of a Mn3O4 reference. The reactivity of the silica-supported manganese oxide catalysts in acetone oxidation with ozone as an oxidant was studied over the temperature range of 300 to 600 K. Both oxygen and ozone produced mainly CO2 as the product of oxidation, but in the case of ozone the reaction temperature and activation energy were significantly reduced. The effect of metal oxide loading was investigated, and the activity for acetone oxidation was greater for a 10 wt % MnOx/SiO2 catalyst sample compared to a 3 wt % MnOx/SiO2 sample.

Oxide talum-containing catalysts of ozone decomposition and methane oxidation

The oxidation of manganese ions is shown to occur in ozone decomposition on manganese-containing catalyst, leading to the deactivation of a sample. The structure of the iron-containing catalyst does not change, ensuring its high stability during ozone decomposition in a dry gas flow at room temperature, conducted in the region of inner diffusion with an activation energy of 15.5 ± 0.7 kJ/mol. The presence of manganese cations in the intermediate stages of reduction is found to increase their activity in the reaction of deep methane oxidation.

Selective oxidation of light alkanes over Mo-based oxide catalysts

A highly reduced Keggin-type heteropolymolybdophosphate, H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀(Py), which was formed by the heat-treatment of pyridinium salt of H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀, can catalyze the propane oxidation to acrylic acid and acetic acid selectively. We propose a possible reaction mechanism for alkane oxidation, where protons and electrons on the reduced H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀ catalyst cooperate for activating molecular oxygen to form electrophilic oxygen species for alkane oxidation. It is also reported that Anderson-type heteropolycompounds linked with vanadyl cations VO²⁺ were able to be synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and showed good catalytic activity for the ethene oxidation to acetic acid.

Graphite oxide was found to be an effective oxidant for use in a broad range of reactions, including the oxidation of olefins to their respective diones, methyl benzenes to their respective aldehydes, diarylmethanes to their respective ketones, and various dehydrogenations. The temperatures used in the reactions were typically mild (100-120 °C), and the heterogeneous nature of the oxidant facilitated isolation and purification of the desired products. In most cases, no by-products were observed and the desired products were isolated in good to excellent yields.

Cu-Co-Fe oxide catalysts supported on carbon nanotubes for the oxidation of CO

The catalytic activity and adsorption characteristics of the surface of catalysts in the form of carbon nanotubes produced on nickel and cobalt oxides with the Cu-Co-Fe oxide system as supported active phase were studied. At carbon nanotubes produced on nickel oxide with (10 + 10) wt.% of the catalytically active phase total conversion of CO to CO₂ is realized at 47 °C. This sample has high specific surface area and a large volume of mesopores. It was shown that the increase in catalytic activity correlates with the increase in the amount of the α₂ form of CO₂. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 4, pp. 222–226, July–August, 2006.
