Photocatalytic Synthesis of Oxygenates from Gaseous CO2 and CH4 over Semiconductor

Photoinduced synthesis of CO2 and CH4 was investigated using a batch reaction system on several photoactive materials supported on silicon dioxide. Single semiconductor showed higher selectivity to C1 compounds. The production of C2-C3 oxygenates took place preferentially on composite semiconductor photocatalysts. In particular, it was found that acetone was the primary product over Cu/CdS-TiO2/SiO2.

Measurements of self-broadening and self-pressure-induced shift parameters of the methane spectral lines in the 5556-6166 cm range

The absorption spectra of methane at different path lengths and different pressures for three temperatures 180, 240 and 296 K have been recorded in the 5556-6166 cm⁻¹ region using the Bruker IFS 120 HR and 125 HR high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometers. The multispectrum fitting procedure has been applied to these spectra to recover the spectral line parameters. The main goal of this procedure was the determination of self-broadening and self-pressure-induced shift coefficients and the exponents of their temperature dependences. These parameters have been derived for 406 assigned lines with good values of the signal to noise ratio. The rotational dependence of these parameters is discussed.     

A wire microcalorimetric study of catalytic ignition of methane–air mixtures over palladium oxide

Catalytic ignition and heat release of methane oxidation over a Pd wire covered with a 1–2 μm PdO surface layer were investigated by wire microcalorimetry over the temperature range of 600–770 K and pressure range of 0.5–4 atm. Ignition temperatures and heat release rates for different methane concentrations (1–4 vol.% in dry air) were determined, showing that the ignition temperatures decrease with increasing the methane concentration and increasing ambient pressure. At total pressure of 1 atm and 2% methane concentration, the global activation energy for the catalytic reaction is 21.5 ± 0.9 kcal/mol and 14.3 ± 0.2 kcal/mol in the temperature ranges of 600–670 K and 670–770 K, respectively. The reaction order for methane is 0.9 ± 0.1 over the temperature range of 630–770 K.     

Encapsulation of methane molecules into carbon nanotubes

Methane gas (CH₄) is a chemical compound comprising a carbon atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms, and carbon nanotubes have been proposed as possible molecular containers for the storage of such gases. In this paper, we investigate the interaction energy between a CH₄ molecule and a carbon nanotube using two different models for the CH₄ molecule, the first discrete and the second continuous. In the first model, we consider the total interaction as the sum of the individual interactions between each atom of the molecule and the nanotube. We first determine the interaction energy by assuming that the carbon atom and one of the hydrogen atoms lie on the axis of the tube with the other three hydrogen atoms offset from the axis. Symmetry is assumed with regard to the arrangement of the three hydrogen atoms surrounding the carbon atom on the axis. We then rotate the atomic position into 100 discrete orientations and determine the average interaction energy from all orientations. In the second model, we approximate the CH₄ molecule by assuming that the four hydrogen atoms are smeared over a spherical surface of a certain radius with the carbon atom located at the center of the sphere. The total interaction energy between the CH₄ molecule and the carbon nanotube for this model is calculated as the sum of the individual interaction energies between both the carbon atom and the spherical surface and the carbon nanotube. These models are analyzed to determine the dimensions of the particular nanotubes which will readily suck-up CH₄ molecules. Our results determine the minimum and maximum interaction energies required for CH₄ encapsulation in different tube sizes, and establish the second model of the CH₄ molecule as a simple and elegant model which might be exploited for other problems.     

Methane non-oxidative aromatization on Mo/ZSM-5: Effect of adding triethoxyphenylsilanes into the synthesis system of ZSM-5

A series of ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized by adding triethoxyphenylsilane (PTEOS) into the initial sol of the synthesis system. The samples were studied by XRD, SEM, N₂ adsorption-desorption and acid assessment of d₃-acetonitrile adsorption. Characterization results showed that the crystal size of the ZSM-5 zeolites could be adjusted in a certain range by introducing different contents of PTEOS. Besides, the resultant materials possess hierarchical porosity in addition to those micropores generated by the MFI channels. Moreover, supported Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared, and their catalytic performances were investigated in the methane non-oxidative aromatization. It was found that the Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst, bearing suitable crystal size and mesoporous characteristic showed relatively high shape-selectivity to benzene and high stability for the reaction of methane aromatization.
