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.

固相萃取-气相色谱法测定甲醇制烯烃副产汽油及甲醇制汽油产物中的含氧化合物

采用纯硅胶柱固相萃取技术对甲醇制烯烃副产汽油或甲醇制汽油产物进行预处理,将产物中的含氧化合物与烃类进行色谱分离,采用质谱鉴定产物中的含氧化合物。使用标准溶液优化纯硅胶小柱的洗脱条件,比较预处理方法的回收率,考察预处理方法的重复性。结果表明,标准溶液的各含氧化合物组分回收率为87.7%~95.3%。采用气相色谱-火焰离子化检测器(GC-FID)通过内标法对实际样品中除甲醇和乙醇外的含氧化合物进行定量分析,使用丁酮、叔戊醇、戊酮和己酮的响应因子作为同碳数醛、酮、醇的FID响应因子,定量甲醇制烯烃副产汽油和甲醇制汽油产物中的含氧化合物。对于甲醇和乙醇,采用GC-MS分析提取特征离子用外标法定量。结果表明,甲醇制烯烃副产汽油和甲醇制汽油产物中的含氧化合物以酮类、醛类为主,并有少量的醇类。     

气相色谱法测定车用汽油中含氧化合物和苯胺类化合物

利用中心切割技术和双毛细管色谱柱系统,采用两次进样的方式,建立了气相色谱测定车用汽油中含氧化合物和苯胺类化合物的分析方法。第一次进样分析,组分首先进入非极性DB-1色谱柱(30 m×0.32 mm×1.0μm),按沸点由低到高的顺序分离,通过电磁阀切换将沸点小于2-己酮的组分切割至强极性GS-OxyPLOT色谱柱(10 m×0.53 mm×10μm)或CP-Lowox色谱柱(10 m×0.53 mm×10μm),其余重烃组分通过阻尼柱进入FID检测器。在GS-OxyPLOT或CP-Lowox色谱柱上,烃类组分与含氧化合物分离并进入检测器检测,消除了大量的烃类组分对含氧化合物测定的影响。第二次进样分析,设定电磁阀切换时间为间-甲基苯胺从非极性色谱柱流出的时间,苯胺类化合物在GS-OxyPLOT或CP-Lowox色谱柱上与烃类和含氧化合物分离并进入检测器检测。以乙二醇二甲基醚为内标化合物进行内标法定量。实现了在一套系统上同时测定车用汽油中添加的甲基叔丁基醚(MTBE)、甲醇、甲缩醛、乙酸仲丁酯、乙酸乙酯、苯胺、邻/间/对-甲基苯胺和N-甲基苯胺的含量,各组分的检测范围为0.01%~10%(质量分数),回收率为86.0%~102.6%。该法可以为车用汽油的质量控制提供有效的检测手段。     

Direct oxidation of methane to oxygenates over heteropolyanions

Partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde and methanol was studied at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 700-750 °C using heteropolycompound catalysts （NH4）6HSiMo11FeO40, （NH4）4PMo11FeO39, and H4PMo11VO40, which were prepared and characterized by various analysis techniques such as infrared, visible UV, XRD and DTA. O2 or N2O was used as the oxidizing agent, and the principal products of the reaction were CH3OH, CH2O, CO, CO2, and water. The conversion and the selectivity of products depend strongly on the reaction temperature, the nature of oxidizing agent, and the composition of catalyst.     

A Kinetic Study of Selective Hydrogenation of Carbon Monoxide to C2 Oxygenates on Rh-Mn-Li-Fe／SiO2 Catalyst

The kinetics of CO hydrogenation for the synthesis of C2 oxygenates over Rh-Mn-Li-Fe/SiO2 was investigated. Kinetic parameters for the formation of ethanol, acetaldehyde. C2 oxygenates, methanol and methane were obtained. The activation energy, H2 and CO dependence orders for ethanol and acetaldehyde formation differed greatly, the large difference seemed to imply that they were formed through different intermediates.     

Direct Conversion of Syngas into Methyl Acetate,Ethanol, and Ethylene by Relay Catalysis via the Intermediate Dimethyl Ether

Selective conversion of syngas (CO/H₂) into C₂₊ oxygenates is a highly attractive but challenging target. Herein, we report the direct conversion of syngas into methyl acetate (MA) by relay catalysis. MA can be formed at a lower temperature (ca. 473 K) using Cu‐Zn‐Al oxide/H‐ZSM‐5 and zeolite mordenite (H‐MOR) catalysts separated by quartz wool (denoted as Cu‐Zn‐Al/H‐ZSM‐5|H‐MOR) and also at higher temperatures (603–643 K) without significant deactivation using spinel‐structured ZnAl₂O₄|H‐MOR. The selectivity of MA and acetic acid (AA) reaches 87 % at a CO conversion of 11 % at 643 K. Dimethyl ether (DME) is the key intermediate and the carbonylation of DME results in MA with high selectivity. We found that the relay catalysis using ZnAl₂O₄|H‐MOR|ZnAl₂O₄ gives ethanol as the major product, while ethylene is formed with a layer‐by‐layer ZnAl₂O₄|H‐MOR|ZnAl₂O₄|H‐MOR combination. Close proximity between ZnAl₂O₄ and H‐MOR increases ethylene selectivity to 65 %.     

Catalytic Performance in CO Hydrogenation Over SiO_2-Supported Ru-M (M=Co, Fe,Mo,Ni,Rh,Mn and Cr) Bimetallic Cluster-derived Catalysts

The bimetallic Ru-M (M=Co,Fe,Ni,Mo, Rh,Cr, Mn) catalysts were prepared from SiO_2-supported bimetallic carbonyl clusters, and it was found that the Ru-Co, Ru-Fe and Ru-Mo bimetallic carbonyl cluster-derived catalysts showed higher activity and selectivity for oxygenates such as C_1-C_5 alcohols in CO hydrogenation,in contrast to catalysts prepared from SiO_2-supported homometallic Ru and Co carbonyl clusters. In situ FT-IR studies revealed that the bands at 1584 and 1555 cm~(-1) species were intermediates to produce methanol and higher oxygenates,and at higher temperatures the 1584 cm~(-1) species could react with alkyl to form 1555 cm~(-1) species. By the surface chemical reaction and the IR study of isotopic molecules,it was suggested that 1584 and 1555 cm~(-1) were assigned to surface formyl and acetyl species.     

Photocatalytic Synthesis of Hydrocarbon Oxygenates from C2H6 and CO2 over Pd-MoO3/SiO2 Catalyst

Pd-MoO3/SiO2 catalyst has been prepared using the method of incipient wetness impregnation. The photo absorbing behaviors and chemisorbing properties of the catalyst have been characterized by UV-vis spectra and TPD-MS experiments. The results indicated that metal Pd loaded on MoOe/SiO2 has a significant effect on the photo absorbing performance of MoO3/SiO2, and an obvious blue shift of the absorption edge is produced. Under UV irradiation, the chemisorption state of CO2 undergoes decomposing process to form CO at 481 K, and a two-site adsorption state of ethane can be formed at around 496 K. Photo-oxidation of ethane using carbon dioxide can mainly produce propanal, ethanol and acetaldehyde in the temperature range of 353-423 K. The presence of metal Pd improves the catalytic activity remarkably.     

Starch-Enhanced Synthesis of Oxygenates from Methane and Carbon Dioxide Using Dielectric-Barrier Discharges

In this work, starch has been used to enhance the oxygenate formation directly from methane and carbon dioxide using dielectric-barrier discharges (DBDs). The use of starch inhibits the formation of liquid hydrocarbons and significantly increases the selectivity of oxygenates. Oxygenates produced include primarily formaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, formic acid, and acetic acid. The total selectivity is about 10–40% with conversion of methane and carbon dioxide of about 20%. Lower methane feed concentration favors the production of oxygenates, and higher feed flow rate leads to higher selectivity of oxygenates in the presence of starch.
