Double perovskite oxides Sr_2Mg_(1-x)Fe_xMoO(6-δ) for catalytic oxidation of methane

The double perovskite oxides Sr2Mg1-xF exMoO6-δ were investigated as catalysts for the methane oxidation.The structural properties of catalysts were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.The catalytic property was strongly influenced by the Fe substitution.The relation between catalytic performance and the degree of Fe substitution was examined with regard to the structure and surface characteristics of the mixed oxides.The Fe-containing catalysts exhibited higher activity attributable to the possible(Fe2+,Mo6+) and (Fe3+,Mo5+)valency pairs,and the highest activity was observed for Sr2Mg0.2Fe0.8MoO6-δ.The enhancement of the catalytic activity may be correlated with the Fe-relating surface lattice oxygen species and was discussed in view of the presence of oxygen vacancies.     

燃料对燃烧法制备Ni-Al_2O_3催化剂结构及浆态床甲烷化催化性能的影响

分别采用浸渍燃烧法和共燃烧法制备了一系列Ni-Al_2O_3催化剂,并对催化剂进行了表征,研究了燃料种类对不同方法制备的催化剂结构及浆态床CO甲烷化性能的影响.结果表明,以尿素、甘氨酸和乙二醇为燃料时,采用浸渍燃烧法制备的Ni-Al_2O_3催化剂织构性质均与载体相近,各催化剂金属Ni分散度和Ni晶粒相差不大,甲烷化性能接近,在260℃反应温度下CO转化率在80.1%~83.5%之间.而共燃烧法制备的Ni-Al_2O_3催化剂受燃烧过程影响明显,以甘氨酸和乙二醇为燃料时制得的催化剂比表面积较小,金属Ni分散度低且Ni晶粒较大,因而甲烷化活性较低;以尿素为燃料制备的催化剂比表面积大且Ni晶粒较小,CO转化率和CH_4选择性分别达到84.7%和91.1%.     

沸石分子筛材料在消除挥发性有机化合物反应中的吸附与催化性能

作为空气污染物的主要成分之一,挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)会极大地破坏生态环境并损害人体健康。在众多消除 VOCs的方法中,吸附法由于操作简单、成本低廉的优势而在工业上得以广泛应用。催化燃烧法则因去除效率高,适用范围广且无二次污染等优点被认为是 VOCs消除最有效的手段之一。
　　目前,活性炭是最常用的 VOCs吸附剂,但存在再生困难、抗湿性差、易燃等诸多问题。与活性炭等常规吸附剂相比,沸石分子筛作为 VOCs吸附剂其主要优势在于：(1)沸石分子筛的疏水性可调,通过调控分子筛骨架的硅铝比可以调节分子筛的亲疏水性,高硅铝比的沸石分子筛有着优异的疏水性能,从而可以有效降低在一定湿度条件下水对 VOCs分子的竞争吸附;(2)均一的孔径分布可以有效地进行分子识别,从而使吸附剂对VOCs的选择性吸附性大大提高;(3)沸石分子筛一般由硅铝构成,本身不可燃且水热稳定性好,因此能够与微波加热等其他手段相结合以降低吸附剂重生能耗,提高操作安全性;(4)沸石分子筛比表面积大,吸附容量高,是作为蜂窝转轮吸附技术中吸附剂的理想材料,而该技术是目前工业大规模消除VOCs的研究热点。因此,沸石分子筛由于其独特的性质,被视为一种简单高效、选择性好的VOCs吸附剂。现阶段,催化燃烧VOCs所使用的催化剂常用金属氧化物作为载体,但是金属氧化物比表面积相对较小且孔道结构不均一,因此严重影响了催化剂对VOCs的催化燃烧效率,限制了催化燃烧活性的提高。而与金属氧化物载体相比,沸石分子筛材料具有均一的孔道结构以及相对较大的比表面积等优点,而将具有较好吸附选择性和吸附容量的沸石分子筛作为载体,负载活性组分后可以实现催化剂催化燃烧性能的显著提高,从而成为VOCs催化燃烧的理想催化剂。
　　本文综述了目前沸石分子筛材料作为吸附剂和催化剂载体的负载型催化剂消除各类VOCs的研究进展。对于沸石分子筛作为VOCs吸附剂,我们小结了影响其吸附容量和吸附选择性的因素,发现分子筛的孔道大小和阳离子类型与VOCs的吸附情况密切相关。在此基础上,进一步简单介绍了分子筛蜂窝吸附转轮技术的研究现状。对于沸石分子筛作为催化剂载体,我们总结了其用于各类VOCs催化燃烧的研究情况,如烷烃类、芳烃类和醛类等。探究了催化性能的影响因素及相应的催化机理,发现分子筛的孔道结构、阳离子类型、硅铝比等都会显著影响沸石分子筛负载型催化剂的催化活性。最后,探讨了沸石分子筛应用于VOCs消除目前所存在的问题,同时展望了该领域未来的研究和发展方向。     

Catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate over CeMnO_x and CeMnZrO_x compounds synthesized by coprecipitation method

Ce0.6Mn0.4O2 catalysts with different sources of manganese and Ce0.6-xZrxMn0.4O2 mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method and were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption,TPR,XRD,and XPS techniques.The activities of the prepared catalysts for ethyl acetate combustion,and the effects of calcination temperature and space velocity on catalytic activity were investigated.The results showed that partial replacement of Mn(NO3)2 with KMnO4 as sources of manganese could improve activities of catalysts.Ce0.45Zr0.15Mn0.4O2 catalyst exhibited the best catalytic activity and high thermal stability,e.g.,T90 could be still below 210℃ even if space velocity was up to 20000h-1.     

介孔Al2O3负载PdO催化甲烷燃烧反应性能

采用浸渍法制备了介孔Al2O3(M-Al2O3)负载PdO催化剂,考察了其催化CH4燃烧反应性能.结果表明,以M-Al2O3为载体的PdO催化剂活性比普通Al2O3载体高得多,这很可能与M-Al2O3的孔道结构对PdO物种的限域作用有关.随着PdO/M-Al2O3催化剂焙烧温度的升高,甲烷催化燃烧活性先增加后降低,其中700oC焙烧的催化剂活性最高,400oC反应时CH4转化率为91%.此时Pd物种主要以PdO颗粒形式高度分散在载体的介孔孔道内,而高温焙烧时,Pd物种主要以Pd和PdO的混合晶相存在.尽管900oC焙烧制得的催化剂上CH4的转化率降低,但TOF值最大,这可能与该催化剂中同时存在金属Pd和PdO有关.     

In situ infrared study of formate reactivity on water–gas shift and methanol synthesis catalysts

In order to investigate the methanol synthesis reaction from CO₂/H₂, a comparative study of the reactivity of formate species on different types of catalysts and catalyst supports has been carried out. Formic acid was adsorbed on water–gas shift catalysts, Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ methanol synthesis catalyst and ZnO/Al₂O₃ support, Cu/ZnO/ZrO₂ and Cu/ZnO/CeO₂ methanol synthesis catalysts as well as their corresponding supports ZnO/ZrO₂ and ZnO/CeO₂. Superior reactivity and selectivity of dedicated methanol synthesis catalysts was evidenced by their behavior during the subsequent heating ramp, when these samples showed the simultaneous presence of formates and methoxy species and a higher stability of these reaction intermediates in the usual temperature range for the methanol synthesis reaction.     

Influence of methanol on the phase behavior of nonionic fluorinated surfactant: Relation to the structure of mesoporous silica materials

We have investigated the effect of methanol addition on the R^F₈(EO)₉ and R^F₇(EO)₈ surfactant-based systems. While upon the addition of methanol the L₁ micellar phase grows, the direct hexagonal (H₁) and the lamellar (L_α) liquid crystals progressively melt with the increase of alcohol content. Phase behavior and SAXS measurements proved that methanol molecules interact with the oxyethylene units of the surfactant. This involves a folding up of the hydrophobic chains in the liquid crystal phases. Moreover, for the R^F₇(EO)₈ surfactant, the cloud point curve is shifted to high temperatures upon addition of alcohol. Starting from these systems, we have prepared mesoporous materials. Results show that due to the hydrogen bonds between the alcohol and the EO groups, the hexagonal structure of the mesostructured silica obtained from R^F₈(EO)₉ is lost when the content of CH₃OH is increased. In contrast, for the compounds prepared from the R^F₇(EO)₈-based system, the pore ordering occurs in the presence of alcohol. This phenomenon has been related to the moving of the cloud point curve toward high temperatures with the addition of methanol. Our study reveals also that under our conditions the methanol released during the hydrolysis of the silica precursor does not affect the self-assembly mechanism in a positive or negative way.

Kinetics of the production of chain-end groups and methanol from the depolymerization of cellulose during the ageing of paper/oil systems. Part 1: Standard wood kraft insulation

Recently, the existence of a relation between the rupture of 1,4-β-glycosidic bonds in the cellulose during thermal-ageing of paper/oil systems and the detection of methanol in the oil has been reported for the first time in this journal (Jalbert et al. 2007). The present study addresses the rate constants of the reaction for standard wood kraft papers, two immersed in inhibited naphthenic oil under air (paper/oil weight–volume ratio of 1:18) and one in non-inhibited paraffinic oil under nitrogen (paper/oil weight–volume ratio of 1:30). The isotherms in the range of 60–130 °C show that the initial rate of methanol production markedly increases with temperature and to a lesser extent with the moisture of the specimens (initially between 0.5 and 2.25% (w/w)), similarly to what is noted for the depolymerization through the Ekenstam’s pseudo-zero order model. The Arrhenius expression of the rate constants reveals linear relationships that confirm the dominance of a given mechanism in both cases. A very good agreement is also noted for the activation energy over the entirely paper/oil systems studied (106.9 ± 4.3 and 103.5 ± 3.7 kJ mol^?1 for methanol and scissions, respectively). Furthermore, a comparison of the rate constants $ \left( {k_{{{\text{CH}}_{ 3} {\text{OH}}}} /k_{\text{scissions}} } \right) Recently, the existence of a relation between the rupture of 1,4-β-glycosidic bonds in the cellulose during thermal-ageing of paper/oil systems and the detection of methanol in the oil has been reported for the first time in this journal (Jalbert et al. 2007).

A very good agreement is also noted for the activation energy over the entirely paper/oil systems studied (106.9 ± 4.3 and 103.5 ± 3.7 kJ mol⁻¹ for methanol and scissions, respectively). Furthermore, a comparison of the rate constants shows approximately constant values indicating an apparent yield for the methanol of about one-third molecule per every scission for the tests under air (0.27 ± 0.04 for Clupak HD75 and 0.37 ± 0.14 for Munksj? TH70) and even lower for the ones under N₂ (0.12 ± 0.03 for Munksj? E.G.). As expected from a pseudo-zero order model, these values were shown to be consistent with a similar comparison of the amount of CH₃OH and chain-end groups produced under specific time–temperature ageing conditions (168 h at 120 °C). Finally, an additional test carried out with unaged cellulose in contact with a fresh solution of methanol in oil (cellulose/oil weight–volume ratio of 1:18) shows that at equilibrium, over 58% of the species is lost from the solution due to penetration into the fibres. Such results reveal the importance of the species partitioning in establishing the true correspondence between the molecules of CH₃OH produced and the scissions.     

Study on the combustion kinetic characteristics of biomass tar under catalysts

TG and DTA experiments were performed to investigate the biomass tar combustion behavior in coexistence of dolomite and mayenite at two different heating rates as 5 and 15°C min⁻¹. Different reaction kinetic mechanisms with the classical Arrhenius model were used to treat TG data, and showed that the first-order combustion model fitted the data well. Three stages combustion model was proposed and applied for the calculation of kinetics parameters successfully. The starting temperature of high temperature combustion stage moved up near 100°C because of the coexistence catalysts, and the combustion amount of biomass of the stage also improved nearly 10 mass%. By calculation a uniform trend of decreasing activation energies was observed with the addition of dolomite and mayenite, and also greatly improved the amount and speed of tar combustion process.
