Syntheses,crystal structures and properties of two cadmium coordination polymers containing bis (2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane(2-mBIM) and bis (imidazol-1-yl)methane (BIM) ligands

Coordination polymers, {[Cd(2-mBIM)₃](ClO₄)₂} _n (1) and [Cd(BIM)₂(NO₃)₂] _n (2), have been prepared from the reaction of bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane(2-mBIM) with Cd(ClO₄)₂ and bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (BIM) with Cd(NO₃)₂ in ethanol and water, respectively. Their structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Compound 1 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group R-3c with a = b = 12.3617(5) Å, c = 38.896(3) Å, γ = 120°, V = 5147.5(5) ų, z = 6. The Cd^II occupies a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated by six N atoms from six distinct 2-mBIM ligands to form a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Each 2-mBIM is coordinated to two Cd^II cations, linking alternatively four Cd^II cations, resulting in a 32-membered M₄L₄ macrometallacycle. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 14.400(3) Å, b = 9.3894(18) Å, c = 8.6926(17) Å, β = 123.499(2)°, V = 980.1(3) ų, z = 2. The Cd coordinates to four nitrogen atoms from four different BIM and two nitrates to form a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The BIM ligands bridge to form a 1-D infinite double-bridged chain structure with 16-membered M₂L₂ macrometallacyclic structural units.     

碱土Sr对Co/Al2O3催化剂甲烷部分氧化反应的影响

以γ-Al₂O₃为载体,采用共浸渍法制备了Sr-Co/Al₂O₃系列催化剂,研究了助剂Sr对Co/Al₂O₃催化剂上甲烷部分氧化(POM)制合成气反应的影响,并利用N₂物理吸附、X射线衍射、H₂-程序升温还原和热重等技术对催化剂的理化性质进行了表征。结果表明,未添加助剂的Co/Al₂O₃和800℃焙烧的Sr-Co/Al₂O₃催化剂在POM反应初期催化活性很低,然而,当添加Sr的质量分数高于2%时,催化剂表现出很好的催化活性和稳定性。焙烧后的新鲜催化剂上主要存在两类Co物种,一类是与载体相互作用较弱、易被H₂还原为单质的Co₃O₄;另一类是与载体相互作用较强、难还原、无催化活性的CoAl₂O₄尖晶石。在焙烧过程中,Sr易形成Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅,从而削弱Co与Al₂O₃之间的相互作用,能在一定程度上抑制CoAl₂O₄物种的形成,提高催化剂的稳定性和活性。未添加Sr的Co/Al₂O₃在反应时易发生物相改变生成尖晶石,导致催化剂迅速失活;但当焙烧温度达到800℃时,添加有限量的Sr还是无法阻止CoAl₂O₄的产生。     

超临界甲烷在活性炭上的吸附平衡分析

为分析由吸附平衡时的热力参数确定吸附量、吸附模型和等量吸附热精度的影响因素,选择在温度268.15~338.15 K和压力0~13.5 MPa测试的甲烷在Ajax活性炭上的吸附平衡数据,通过引入甲烷分子可进入活性炭吸附空间内的容积和可以不考虑甲烷在孔内吸附的临界孔宽的概念,依据甲烷在吸附平衡前后的总量守恒,确定甲烷在吸附池内的总量、绝对吸附量和过剩吸附量三者之间的关系式。结果表明,在引入吸附质分子可进入吸附空间内的容积和临界孔宽后,经由活性炭的孔径分布(PSD),可以准确计算甲烷在活性炭上的过剩吸附量;应用实验数据非线性回归Toth方程参数后,可由Gibbs关于吸附的定义确定甲烷在活性炭上的绝对吸附量。比较结果时发现,由于未考虑本体相中甲烷分子对吸附甲烷分子的影响,采用过剩吸附量的等量吸附线标绘确定的等量吸附热数值偏高,工程应用时应由绝对吸附量来确定等量吸附热。

Comparison of dry reforming of methane in low temperature hybrid plasma-catalytic corona with thermal catalytic reactor over Ni/γ-Al2O3

In the current study,the hybrid effect of a corona discharge and γ-alumina supported Ni catalysts in CO2 reforming of methane is investigated.The study includes both purely catalytic operation in the temperature range of 923-1023K,and hybrid catalytic-plasma operation of DC corona discharge reactor at room temperature and ambient pressure.The effect of feed flow rate,discharge power and Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts are studied.When CH4/CO2 ratio in the feed is 1/2,the syngas of low H2/CO ratio at about 0.56 is obtained,which is a potential feedstock for synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons.Although Ni catalyst is only active above 573K,presence of Ni catalysts in the cold corona plasma reactor(T≤523K) shows promising increase in the conversions of methane and carbon dioxide.When Ni catalysts are used in the plasma reaction,H2/CO ratios in the products are slightly modified,selectivity to CO increases whereas fewer by-products such as hydrocarbons and oxygenates are formed.     

Nickel ferrite spinel as catalyst precursor in the dry reforming of methane:Synthesis,characterization and catalytic properties

Dry reforming of methane by CO2 using nickel ferrite as precursor of catalysts was investigated.Nickel ferrite crystalline particles were prepared by coprecipitation of nitrates with NaOH or ammonia followed by calcination,or by hydrothermal synthesis without calcination step.The textural and structural properties were determined by a number of analysis methods,including X-ray diffraction (XRD),Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),among which X-ray diffraction (XRD) was at room and variable temperatures.All synthesized oxides showed the presence of micro or nanoparticles of NiFe2O4 inverse spinel,but Fe2O3 (hematite) was also present when ammonia was used for coprecipitation.The reducibility by hydrogen was studied by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and in situ XRD,which showed the influence of the preparation method.The surface area (BET),particle size (Rietveld refinement),as well as surface Ni/Fe atomic ratio (XPS) and the behavior upon reduction varied according to the synthesis method.The catalytic reactivity was investigated using isopropanol decomposition to determine the acid/base properties.The catalytic performance of methane reforming with CO2 was measured with and without the pre-treatment of catalysts under H2 in 650-800 C range.The catalytic conversions of methane and CO2 were quite low but they increased when the catalysts were pre-reduced.A significant contribution of reverse water gas shift reaction accounted for the low values of H2 /CO ratio.No coking was observed as shown by the reoxidation step performed after the catalytic reactions.The possible formation of nickel-iron alloy observed during the study of reducibility by hydrogen was invoked to account for the catalytic behavior.     

Theoretical study on the gas‐phase reaction mechanism between nickel monoxide and methane for syngas production

The comprehensive mechanism survey on the gas‐phase reaction between nickel monoxide and methane for the formation of syngas, formaldehyde, methanol, water, and methyl radical has been investigated on the triplet and singlet state potential energy surfaces at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df, 3pd)//B3LYP/6‐311+G(2d, 2p) levels. The computation reveals that the singlet intermediate HNiOCH₃ is crucial for the syngas formation, whereas two kinds of important reaction intermediates, CH₃NiOH and HNiOCH₃, locate on the deep well, while CH₃NiOH is more energetically favorable than HNiOCH₃ on both the triplet and singlet states. The main products shall be syngas once HNiOCH₃ is created on the singlet state, whereas the main products shall be methyl radical if CH₃NiOH is formed on both singlet and triplet states. For the formation of syngas, the minimal energy reaction pathway (MERP) is more energetically preferable to start on the lowest excited singlet state other than on the ground triplet state. Among the MERP for the formation of syngas, the rate‐determining step (RDS) is the reaction step for the singlet intermediate HNiOCH₃ formation involving an oxidative addition of NiO molecule into the C? H bond of methane, with an energy barrier of 120.3 kJ mol^?1. The syngas formation would be more effective under higher temperature and photolysis reaction condition. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
