Roles of surface Te, Nb, and Sb oxides in propane oxidation to acrylic acid over bulk orthorhombic Mo-V-O phase

The outermost surfaces and subsurface layers of the orthorhombic (M1) Mo-V-O catalysts promoted with Te, Nb, and Sb oxide species at submonolayer surface coverage were examined by low-energy ion scattering (LEIS). This study indicated that the Nb oxide species was preferentially located at the topmost surface, while the subsurface Te and Sb concentrations declined gradually into the bulk. Although the original Mo-V-O catalyst was essentially unselective in propane oxidation to acrylic acid, significant improvement in the selectivity to acrylic acid was observed when Te, Nb, and Sb oxides were present as the surface species at submonolayer coverage. These findings further suggested that the formation of the surface V-O-M bonds (M = Nb, Te, or Sb) was highly beneficial for both the activity and selectivity of the orthorhombic Mo-V-O catalysts in propane oxidation to acrylic acid. The highest selectivity was observed when both Nb and Te (or Sb) oxide species were present at the surface. The selectivity trends established for the surface-promoted Mo-V-O catalyst parallel those found previously for the corresponding bulk Mo-V-M-O catalysts. These results further indicated that the introduction of surface metal oxide species is a highly promising method to prepare well-defined model catalysts for studies of the structure-activity/selectivity relationships as well as optimize the catalytic performance of the bulk mixed Mo-V-M-O catalysts for selective (amm)oxidation of propane.     

Study of the properties of pentasil-containing catalysts in reactions of transformation of hydrocarbons

The kinetics of transformations of propane and propylene on pentasils modified with zinc, Zn/HTsVM, and the H form of zeolite were investigated. Quantitative data were obtained which revealed significant differences for HTsVM and Zn-containing catalysts in the selectivity of transformations of propane with different degrees of its conversion. The promoting effect of Zn in the Zn/HTsVM system not only on the stage of dehydrogenation of propane into propylene, but also on subsequent transformations of propylene into aromatic hydrocarbons, was demonstrated. The absence of internal diffusion inhibition of the reaction in the conditions studied was demonstrated experimentally. It was shown that aromatization of propane takes place in the kinetic region.For previous communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 727–733, April, 1990.     

A study of the surface region of the Mo-V-Te-O catalysts for propane oxidation to acrylic acid

The bulk mixed Mo-V-Te oxides possess high activity and selectivity in propane oxidation to acrylic acid and represent well-defined model catalysts for studies of the surface molecular structure-activity/selectivity relationships in this selective oxidation reaction. The elemental compositions, metal oxidation states, and catalytic functions of V, Mo, and Te in the surface region of the model Mo-V-Te-O system were examined employing low energy ion scattering (LEIS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This study indicated that the surfaces of these catalysts are terminated with a monolayer, which possesses a different elemental composition from that of the bulk. The rates of propane consumption and formation of propylene and acrylic acid depended on the topmost surface V concentration, whereas no dependence of these reaction rates on either the surface Mo or Te concentrations was observed. These findings suggested that the bulk Mo-V-Te-O structure may function as a support for the unique active and selective surface monolayer in propane oxidation to acrylic acid. The results of this study have important practical consequences for the development of improved selective oxidation catalysts by introducing surface metal oxide components to form new surface active V-O-M sites for propane oxidation to acrylic acid.     

静电纺丝法制备硼掺杂氧化硅纳米纤维用于低碳烷烃氧化脱氢制烯烃

乙烯和丙烯等低碳烯烃是重要的基础有机化工产品,广泛应用于化工生产的各个领域.相比于其他工艺,低碳烷烃氧化脱氢制烯烃工艺具有不受热力学平衡限制、无积炭等特点而被广泛研究.近年发现六方氮化硼(h-BN)、硼化硅(SiB6)和磷酸硼(BPO4)等非金属硼基催化剂能够高效催化烷烃氧化脱氢反应,并抑制产物烯烃的过度氧化,表现出高的催化活性和烯烃选择性.大量的研究表明,硼基催化剂活性起源于催化剂表面的"BO"物种(如B-O和B-OH等基团).氧化硼(B2O3)作为一种氧化气氛中化学性质稳定的含硼化合物,兼具丰富的"BO"位点,在反应条件下可形成多种结构以适用不同的化学环境,为制备高效的烷烃氧化脱氢催化剂提供了可能.在之前的研究中,多将B2O3浸渍在常规的TiO2,SiO2,A12O3等三维多孔载体上用于氧化脱氢反应.考虑到B2O3结构的灵活性和易于成键特性,需开发更为有效的合成策略,以提升B2O3催化剂在氧化脱氢反应中的活性和稳定性.本文采用静电纺丝技术合成了直径为100～150 nm的多孔掺硼二氧化硅纳米纤维(PBSN)用于低碳烷烃氧化脱氢反应.静电纺丝法合成的催化剂中硼物种在开放的氧化硅纤维骨架上均匀分散且稳定固载.一维纳米纤维结构不仅有利于扩散,且赋予催化剂在高重时空速(WHSV)条件下优异的烷烃氧化脱氢反应活性.在乙烷氧化脱氢反应中,当乙烷的转化率达到44.3％时,乙烯的选择性和产率分别为84％和44.2 μmol gcat-1 s-1.而在丙烷脱氢反应中,当丙烷转化率为19.2％时,总烯烃选择性及丙烯产率分别为90％和76.6 μmol gcat-1 s-1.在温度为545 ℃,丙烷WHSV高达84.6 h-1的条件下,催化剂保持长时间稳定.与其他负载型氧化硼催化剂相比,PBSN催化剂具有更高的烯烃选择性和稳定性.研究表明,在氧化硅负载B2O3催化剂催化丙烷氧化脱氢反应中,载体中Si-OH基团的存在可能会降低丙烯的选择性.瞬态分析和动力学实验表明,硼基催化剂催化烷烃氧化脱氢反应过程中O2的活化受到烷烃的影响.本文不仅为高效硼基催化剂的合成提供了新思路,也为深入理解该类催化剂上烷烃氧化脱氢反应过程提供了实验支撑.     

Mechanism of hydrogenolysis and isomerization of oxacycloalkanes on metals, XVI. Transformation of tetrahydrofuran on platinum catalysts

The hydrogenolysis of tetrahydrofuran (THF) on TiO₂, SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ supported Pt catalysts has been investigated in the gas phase at 423–623 K in a pulse reactor. The main reactions are hydrodeoxygenation to butane and decarbonylation to propane. The supports had a marked effect on the selectivity of conversion. On the Pt−TiO₂ catalyst mainly butane was formed while on the other two catalysts propane formation was dominant. Based on the results of earlier studies on oxacycloalkanes as well as on data in the literature and the experimental results presented here, a new reaction scheme is outlined for the interpretation of the chemical processes discussed.

A "green route" to propene through selective hydrogen oxidation

The pros and cons of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane are outlined and a new catalytic system based on metal-doped cerianite catalysts is introduced. These novel materials catalyze the selective combustion of hydrogen from a mixture of hydrogen, propane, and propene at 550 degrees C. This gives three key advantages: energy is supplied directly where needed, product separation is made easier, and the dehydrogenation equilibrium is shifted to the desired products. A set of eighteen doped cerianites was synthesized in parallel, characterized, and screened for activity, selectivity, and stability in a cyclic redox system. The best results were obtained with Ce(0.89)Cr(0.02)Fe(0.09)O(2), Ce(0.98)Sn(0.02)O(2), and Ce(0.96)Cu(0.02)Zn(0.02)O(2), which gave 98 %, 91 %, and 98 % selectivity, respectively. Ce(0.89)Cr(0.02)Fe(0.09)O(2) also shows excellent stability in over 120 cycles (66 h on stream at 550 degrees C). Importantly, these doped cerias are monophasic crystalline materials. The dopants are incorporated as solid solutions throughout the fluorite lattice. This means that these catalysts are very stable (they do not sinter during reduction) as opposed to traditional supported metal oxides. The results show that both activity and selectivity towards hydrogen combustion can be tuned (increased or decreased) by selecting the appropriate dopant. Furthermore, the trends in selectivity differ from those measured on supported oxides of the same elements, which indicates that these novel materials indeed contain unique active sites. The factors governing selectivity towards hydrogen oxidation and the nature of the active site are discussed.     

Cr对Pt-Sn /γ-Al2O3催化剂丙烷脱氢性能的影响

通过H2-TPR、O2-脉冲等表征手段，结合丙烷脱氢催化性能考察了助剂Cr对Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3催化剂反应性能的影响。结果表明，添加少量Cr可显著改善Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3催化剂的脱氢稳定性，可提高丙烯选择性，降低催化剂表面积炭量。这是由Cr和Pt-Sn之间存在的协同作用引起的，一方面，Pt促进了Cr的还原，生成了可提高丙烯选择性的+3价Cr；另一方面，Cr使Sn变得难于还原，在强还原气氛下保持了活性氧化态价态，进而改善了催化剂的脱氢稳定性。     

Adsorption of ethane, ethylene, propane, and propylene on a magnesium-based metal-organic framework

Separation of olefin/paraffin is an energy-intensive and difficult separation process in petrochemical industry. Energy-efficient adsorption process is considered as a promising alternative to the traditional cryogenic distillation for separating olefin/paraffin mixtures. In this work, we explored the feasibility of adsorptive separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures using a magnesium-based metal-organic framework, Mg-MOF-74. Adsorption equilibria and kinetics of ethane, ethylene, propane, and propylene on a Mg-MOF-74 adsorbent were determined at 278, 298, and 318 K and pressures up to 100 kPa. A dual-site Sips model was used to correlate the adsorption equilibrium data, and a micropore diffusion model was applied to extract the diffusivities from the adsorption kinetics data. A grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to calculate the adsorption isotherms and to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms. The simulation results showed that all four adsorbate molecules are preferentially adsorbed on the open metal sites where each metal site binds one adsorbate molecule. Propylene and propane have a stronger affinity to the Mg-MOF-74 adsorbent than ethane and ethylene because of their significant dipole moments. Adsorption equilibrium selectivity, combined equilibrium and kinetic selectivity, and adsorbent selection parameter for pressure swing adsorption processes were estimated. The relatively high values of adsorption selectivity suggest that it is feasible to separate ethylene/ethane, propylene/propane, and propylene/ethylene pairs in a vacuum swing adsorption process using Mg-MOF-74 as an adsorbent.     

Selective Oxidation of Propane by Lattice Oxygen of Vanadium-Phosphorous Oxide in a Pulse Reactor

Selective oxidation of propane by lattice oxygen of vanadium-phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts was investigated with a pulse reactor in which the oxidation of propane and the re-oxidation of catalyst were implemented alternately in the presence of water vapor. The principal products are acrylic acid (AA),acetic acid (HAc), and carbon oxides. In addition, small amounts of C1 and C2 hydrocarbons were also found, molar ratio of AA to HAc is 1.4-2.2. The active oxygen species are those adsorbed on catalyst surface firmly and/or bound to catalyst lattice, i.e. lattice oxygen; the selective oxidation of propane on VPO catalysts can be carried out in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser reactor. For propane oxidation over VPO catalysts, the effects of reaction temperature in a pulse reactor were found almost the same as in a steady-state flow reactor. That is, as the reaction temperature increases, propane conversion and the amount of C1 C2 hydrocarbons in the product increase steadily, while selectivity to acrylic acid and to acetic acid increase prior to 350℃ then begin to drop at temperatures higher than 350℃, and yields of acrylic acid and of acetic acid attained maximum at about 400℃. The maximum yields of acrylic acid and of acetic acid for a single-pass are 7.50% and 4.59% respectively, with 38.2% propane conversion. When theamount of propane pulsed decreases or the amount of catalyst loaded increases, the conversion increases but the selectivity decreases. Increasing the flow rate of carrier gases causes the conversion pass through a minimum but selectivity and yields pass through a maximum. In a fixed bed reactor, it is hard to obtainhigh selectivity at a high reaction conversion due to the further degradation of acrylic acid and acetic acid even though propane was oxidized by the lattice oxygen. The catalytic performance can be improved inthe presence of excess propane. Propylene can be oxidized by lattice oxygen of VPO catalyst at 250℃, nevertheless, selectivity to AA and to HAc are even lower, much more acetic acid was produced (molar ratio of AA to HAc is 0.19:1-0.83:1) though the oxidation products are the same as from propane.

Influence of the Charge Transfer Capacity of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals as Promoters in Thehydrogenation of Phenol over Palladium and Nickel Catalysts

The gas phase hydrogenation (523-573 K) of phenol has been studied over 1 wt.% Pd/Al₂O₃ and 1 wt.% Ni/SiO₂ catalysts doped with Group I and II promoter oxides. A direct correlation between catalytic activity and the charge transfer capacity of the promoters is presented where hydrogenation is favored by increasing electron donation from the promoter. The Pd catalysts generated cyclohexanone (selectivity > 97%) as the predominant product; selectivity was unaffected by the presence of the alkali or alkaline earth dopants. The Ni system exhibited appreciable hydrogenolysis behavior and charge transfer from the dopants limited the degree of hydrodeoxygenation to favor complete hydrogenation to cyclohexanol.     

Cr/NaZSM-5催化剂上CO2氧化丙烷脱氢反应

以亚微米级NaZSM-5为载体合成了一系列负载型Cr催化剂, 采用氮气吸附、 XRD、 UV-Vis和H2-TPR对Cr/NaZSM-5催化剂的结构和织构性质进行了表征, 并评价了催化剂在CO2气氛下的丙烷脱氢性能. 硅铝摩尔比为60, Cr质量分数为3%的催化剂具有最高的反应活性, 于550 ℃反应10 min和8 h后的丙烷转化率分别为48.3%和30.1%, 丙烯选择性则分别为86.0%和91.8%. 催化剂中的Cr6+含量和反应初活性具有良好的对应关系, 表明高Cr6+含量对催化剂表现出高的丙烷脱氢活性是至关重要的. CO2气氛下的丙烯产率明显比氮气气氛下的高, 这是由于CO2气氛下催化剂表面有较多量的Cr6+, 并且CO2可通过逆水煤气变换反应除去脱氢反应生成的氢.     

金属含量对Ni-Pd/H-Y上正癸烷加氢异构化反应活性和产物选择性的影响

Ni添加量超过阈值导致活性和异构化选择性急剧下降.综上可见,双金属催化剂更有利于选择性生成双支链异构体,其辛烷值更高.     

Non-Oxidative Aromatization of CH4-C_3H_8 over La-Promoted Zn/HZSM-5 Catalysts

The non-oxidative aromatization of mixed CH4 with C3H8 over La-promoted Zn/HZSM-5 catalysts was studied in a fixed-bed reactor at 823 K with space velocity 600 h-1 and CH4/C3H8 (mol ratio)=5:1. The propane conversion and the aromatic selectivities were up to 99% and 60% over the catalyst respectively, while methane conversion had an induction period with the highest conversion of 30%. The structure and surface acidity of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, NH3-TPD and TG-DTA. The influences of reaction and regenerative conditions on the activity and selectivity were also investigated.     

Modification of Cr/SiO2 for the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene in carbon dioxide

Summary Dehydrogenation of propane to propylene in carbon dioxide was investigated over promoted Cr/SiO2. The results showed that the catalysts were effective for the reaction and CO2 in the feed promoted the catalytic activity. XRD, TPR and microcalorimetric adsorption techniques were used to study the structure and surface acidity of the catalysts. It was found that the surface acidity decreased with the increase of K in the Cr/SiO2 and led to the increase of selectivity toward propylene. A propane conversion of 31% with 91% selectivity to propylene over the 5%Cr-0.4%K/SiO2 catalyst was observed at 923 K with CO2 /C3H8 molar ratio of 3.6.     

Physicochemical and catalytic properties of Ga and In pentasils in the reaction of propane aromatization

Ga and In ZSM-5 zeolites are obtained via hydrothermal crystallization from alkali aluminosilicate gels. Their physicochemical and catalytic properties during conversion of propane into aromatic hydrocarbons are studied. These catalysts exhibit different activity and selectivity in propane aromatization process due to their specific physicochemical properties and the localization of promoter atoms in different sites of the zeolite structure. A zeolite containing 1.85 wt % of gallium oxide is the most effective catalyst for propane aromatization.     

铯添加对VOx/SBA-15催化剂丙烷氧化脱氢性能影响

我们考察了碱金属铯的添加对具有单一活性中心（分立的VOx四面体）的VOx／SBA-15催化剂上丙烷氧化脱氢反应性能的影响,发现铯的加入可以显著改善丙烯的选择性．在相同的丙烷转化率时,丙烯选择性提高了约10％．对催化剂的X射线衍射,拉曼光谱,程序升温还原,吡啶吸附IR光谱和程序升温脱附表征结果表明,少量碱金属的加入,并未改变活性中心的结构及其可还原性能,但明显降低了催化剂表面酸量,尤其是B酸量,从而有利于产物丙烯的脱附,抑制了深度氧化产物COx的产生,提高了丙烯的选择性．     

Li含量对Li/MgO丙烷氧化脱氢制烯烃反应催化性能的影响

采用浸渍法制备了不同Li含量的Li/MgO催化剂,并通过TG-DTA、N_2吸附及XRD等手段对其进行了表征;对丙烷在Li/MgO催化剂表面的两种吸附状态所占据的空间体积大小进行了计算,研究了Li含量对其丙烷氧化脱氢制烯烃反应催化性能的影响。结果表明,随着Li/MgO催化剂中Li含量的增加,丙烷转化率与乙烯、甲烷、乙烷和COx的选择性均先增加,在Li物质的量分数为3%时达到最高,然后随Li含量增加而降低,而丙烯选择性则出现相反的变化趋势。丙烷在Li/MgO催化剂上的吸附和反应同时受动力学和热力学两个因素的制约;Li负载量不同,反应活性位Li+O-分散状态也不同,导致产物分布发生变化。活性位分散度高时受热力学因素影响,有利于生成丙烯;活性位分散度低时受吸附动力学影响,更趋向于生成乙烯等其他产物。
