Effect of aluminum modification on catalytic properties of PtSn-based catalysts supported on SBA-15 for propane dehydrogenation

The catalytic properties of PtSn-based catalysts supported on siliceous SBA-15 and Al-modified SBA-15, such as Al-incorporated SBA-15 (AlSBA-15) and alumina-modified SBA-15 (Al2O3/SBA-15), for propane dehydrogenation were investigated. Al2O3/SBA-15 was prepared either by an impregnation method using aluminum nitrate aqueous solution, or by the treatment of SBA-15 with a Al(OC3H7)3 solution in anhydrous toluene. N2-physisorption, FT-IR spectroscopy, solid-state 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy, hydrogen chemisorption, XRF, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and TPO were used to characterize these samples. Among these catalysts, the PtSn-based catalyst supported on Al2O3/SBA-15, which was grafted with Al(OC3H7)3, exhibited the best catalytic performance in terms of activity and stability The possible reason was due to the high Pt metal dispersion and/or the strong interactions among Pt, Sn, and the support.     

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．     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over Ni-Mo-Mg-O catalysts

In this work, a series of Ni-Mo-Mg-O catalysts with mesoporous structure prepared by sol-gel method were investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP). The techniques of temperature-programmed reduction with H2 (H2-TPR), N2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were employed for catalyst characterization. It is found that the activity of the catalysts for ODHP increases first and then decreases with the increase of Mo content. The catalyst with a Mo/Ni atomic ratio of 1/1 exhibits the best catalytic activity, which gives the propene selectivity of 81.4% at a propane conversion of 11.3% under 600°C and maintains the good catalytic performance for 22 h on stream. This is related not only to its high reducibility and dispersion as revealed by TPR and XRD, but also to the formation of more selective oxygen species on the MoOx-NiO interface as identified by XPS.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane on TiO2-supported chromium and zinc oxides

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane has been studied on chromium, zinc and zinc-chromium mixed oxides supported on anatase titania. The order of activity and selectivity to propene was CrTi>ZnCrTi>ZnTi. The activity and selectivity to propene did not change markedly with increase in the reaction temperature.     

Nitrogen‐doped mesoporous carbon materials for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane

The CN‐15‐x series materials with different doses of SBA‐15 template and the CN‐y‐2.0 series materials with different hard templates were prepared by the hard template method with hexamethylenetetramine as the carbon and nitrogen source. The obtained mesoporous carbon materials were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic performance of propane oxidative dehydrogenation was determined. The characterization results indicate that the catalytic activity of CN‐15‐2.0 with a bipartite hexagonal ordered structure was higher than those of the other materials. The conversion of propane was 22.98%, and the selectivity toward propylene was 41.70%.     

Effect of additives on properties of vanadia-based catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane: Experimental and quantum chemical studies

Effect of additives (A) comprising main group elements (K, P) and transition metals (Ni, Cr, Mo) to VO_x/SiO₂ catalysts on their catalytic behavior in oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane are studied. The experimental findings are compared with results of quantum chemical calculations performed for a model O=V---O---V^* cluster in which V^* atom is replaced by an atom of A. The selectivities to propene found in experiments change on introducing the additives, decreasing in the sequence VK(64)>VCr(38)>VMo=VNi(32)>VP(28)V0(27). Quantum chemical calculations indicate the change in the electron density on the atoms of the active O=V---O groups for the clusters with the additives’ atoms. The extent of the electron transfer from A towards the active group (the increase in the centre basicity) follows the sequence of the decreasing selectivity to propene, confirming the role of acid–base properties in controlling the selectivity in ODH of propane. Results of calculations show also an exceptional behavior of the potassium (the most effective additive for the increase in the selectivity in experiments); in contrast to all other additivies, K transfers electrons towards both V and O atoms in the active group, and does not form a definite O---K bond, but is rather “adsorbed” on the cluster.     

Synthesis of a new ordered mesoporous NiMoO4 complex oxide and its efficient catalytic performance for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane

Highly ordered mesoporous NiMoO4material was successfully synthesized using mesoporous silica KIT-6 as hard template via vacuum nanocasting method. The structure was characterized by means of XRD, TEM, N2adsorption-desorption, Raman and FT-IR. The mesoporous NiMoO4with the coexistence of α-NiMoO4and β-NiMoO4showed well-ordered mesoporous structure, a bimodal pore size distribution and crystalline framework. The catalytic performance of NiMoO4was investigated for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. It is demonstrated that the mesoporous NiMoO4catalyst with more surface active oxygen species showed better catalytic performance in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane in comparison with bulk NiMoO4.     

Kinetic study of propane dehydrogenation and catalyst deactivation over Pt-Sn/Al2O3 catalyst

The kinetics of propane dehydrogenation and catalyst deactivation over Pt-Sn/Al₂O₃ catalyst were studied. Performance test runs were carried out in a fixed-bed integral reactor. Using a power-law rate expression for the surface reaction kinetics and independent law for deactivation kinetics, the experimental data were analyzed both by integral and a novel differential method of analysis and the results were compared. To avoid fluctuation of time-derivatives of conversion required for differential analysis, the conversion-time data were first fitted with appropriate functions. While the time-zero and rate constant of reaction were largely insensitive to the function employed, the rate constant of deactivation was much more sensitive to the function form. The advantage of the proposed differential method, however, is that the integration of the rate expression is not necessary which otherwise could be complicated or impossible. It was also found that the reaction is not limited by external and internal mass transfer limitations, implying that the employed kinetics could be considered as intrinsic ones.     

丙烷脱氢负载型PtSnNa/SUZ-4催化剂中Na+助剂组分的作用

用微型催化反应装置结合X射线衍射(XRD)、H₂化学吸附、NH₃吸附-程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)和H₂-程序升温还原等多种物理化学手段研究了丙烷脱氢负载型PtSnNa/SUZ-4催化剂中Na⁺助剂组分的作用。结果表明,Na⁺组分可中和SUZ-4载体表面的强酸中心、提高催化剂的Pt金属分散度、抑制脱氢产物的裂解和积炭的生成,从而提高催化剂的丙烷脱氢选择性和反应稳定性。但是过量Na⁺组分的存在会削弱Sn物种与载体之间的相互作用,使其易被还原,导致催化剂丙烷脱氢活性显著下降。     

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。

The effect of addition of chromium and nickel oxides on the physicochemical properties and performance of V₂O₅/ZrO₂ catalysts was studied for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. Addition of chromium oxide increased, whereas addition of nickel oxide lowered the activity. Selectivity for propene was lower for the doped catalysts. The selectivity was lowered by higher total acidity as well as the higher concentration of stronger acid sites in doped catalysts.

Theoretical research on Pd cluster catalysts for the direct dehydrogenation of propane to propylene

In this article, the feasibility of catalytic dehydrogenation of propane by Pd clusters (Pd₇, Pd₆C, Pd₆Si, Pd₆Ge, and Pd₆Sn) was investigated by using density functional theory (DFT). It was found that Pd₆Sn has the strongest electron mobility and the ability to activate C H bonds, and the highest adsorption barrier (−75.16 kcal/mol) with propylene. The first pathway of the Pd₆Sn-catalyzed primary reaction has the lowest decisive step barrier (16.65 kcal/mol), and the second pathway of the secondary reaction has the highest decisive step barrier (62.25 kcal/mol). It was demonstrated that both the catalyst's electron-leaping ability and the ability to activate C H bonds were the key factors affecting the activity, and the adsorption strength of the catalyst to the product was the main factor affecting the selectivity. It was shown that Pd cluster-catalyzed PDH is theoretically feasible and Pd₆Sn is likely to be a potential cluster catalyst for propane dehydrogenation.     

Effect of cerium addition on catalytic performance of PtSnNa/ZSM-5 catalyst for propane dehydrogenation

The effect of cerium addition on the catalytic performance of propane dehydrogenation over PtSnNa/ZSM-5 catalyst has been investigated by reaction tests and some physicochemical characterization such as XRD,BET,TEM,XPS,NH 3-TPD,H 2 chemisorption,TPR and TPO techniques.It has been found that with suitable amount of cerium addition,the platinum dispersion increased,while the carbon deposition tended to be eliminated easily.In these cases,the presence of cerium could not only realize the better distribution of metallic particles on the support,but also strengthen the interactions between Sn species and the support.Additionally,XPS spectra confirmed that more amounts of tin could exist in oxidized form,which was advantageous to the reaction.In our experiments,PtSnNaCe(1.1 wt%)/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance.After running the reaction for 750 h,propane conversion was maintained higher than 30% with the corresponding selectivity to propylene of about 97%.     

Intrinsic kinetics of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane in the presence of CO2 over Cr/MSU-1 catalyst

The intrinsic kinetics of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with CO2 has been investigated over Cr/MSU-1 catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. Without limitations of both internal and external diffusion, intrinsic kinetic data were obtained under the following conditions: 490-530 °C, space velocity of 3600?6000 mL·h-1·g-1 and 3/1 molar ratio for CO2/C3H8 under normal pressure. Based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, the kinetic models were established, and they were validated by statistical analysis. The parameters were estimated using Simplex Method combined with Universal Global Optimization Algorithm. The model, taking the surface reaction process as the rate-determining step, is the best one in agreement with the experimental data.

Effect of the extent of reduction of V2O5 on the adsorption of propylene and the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to give propylene on V2O5 and V2O5/TiO2-SiO2

An increase in the propylene output in the oxidative dehydration of propane on V₂O₅/TiO₂-SiO₂ was observed after prior reduction of V₂O₅ in the reaction mixture to V₂O₄, which reduces the destructive chemisorption of propylene. A low titanium dioxide content in TiO₂-SiO₂ hinders the deep reduction of V₂O₅ to V₂O₃, which reduces the conversion of propane. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 373–378, November–December, 2007.
