The Cu1Co1Fe1MO1Zn0.5-6%K catalyst exhibited a higher activity on the space-time yield of mixed alcohols, compared with the other Mobased catalysts. The carbon conversion significantly increases with rising temperature below 340 ℃, but the alcohol selectivity has an opposite trend. The maximum mixed alcohols yield derived from biomass gasification is 494.8 g/(kg catal·h) with the C2+ (C2-C6 higher alcohols) alcohols of 80.4% under the tested conditions. The alcohol distributions are consistent with the Schulz-Flory plots, except methanol. In the alcohols products, the C2+ alcohols (higher alcohols) dominate with a weight ratio of 70%-85%. The Mo-based cata- lysts have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption/desorption. The clean bio-fules of mixed alcohols derived from bio-syngas with higher octane values could be used as transportation fuels or petrol additives.展开更多

The maximum biofuel yield from the bio-syngas reaches about 1.59 kg biofuels/(kgcat·rh) with a contribution of 0.57 kg alcohols/(kgcat·rh) and 1.02 kg liquid hydrocarbons/(kgcat·rh). The alcohol products in the resulting biofuels were dominated by the C2+ alcohols (mainly C2-C6 alcohols) with a content of 73.55%-89.98%. The selectivity .of the liquid hydrocarbons (C5+) in the hydrocarbon products ranges from 60.37% to 70.94%. The synthesis biofuels also possess a higher heat value of 40.53-41.49 MJ/kg. The effects of the synthesis conditions, including temperature, pressure, and gas hourly space velocity, on the biofuel synthesis were investigated in detail. The catalyst features were characterized by inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction, and the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms measurements. The present biofuel synthesis with a higher biofuel yield and a higher selectivity of liquid hydrocarbons and C2+ alcohols may be a potentially useful route to produce clean biofuels and chemicals from biomass.展开更多

The influences of the catalyst composition, reforming temperature and the molar ratio of steam to carbon fed on the stream reforming process of bio-oil over the Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts were investigated in the reforming reactor. The promoting effects of current passing through the catalyst on the bio-oil reforming were also studied using the electrochemical catalytic reforming approach. By comparing Ni/HZSM-5 with commonly used Ni/Al2O3 catalysts, the Ni2O/ZSM catalyst with Ni-loading content of about 20% on the HZSM-5 support showed the highest catalytic activity. Even at 450 ℃, the hydrogen yield of about 90% with a near complete conversion of bio-oil was obtained using the Ni2O/ZSM catalyst. It was found that the performance of the bio-oil reforming was remarkably enhanced by the HZSM-5 supporter and the current through the catalyst. The features of the Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts were also investigated via X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller methods.展开更多

Compared with the conventional wetness impregnation, addition of moderate polyols into the metal nitrate support surface, resulting in formation of persion of the active phase and significant aqueous solution could enhance interaction with very small NiO particle size (〈5 nm), high discatalytic activity. Particle size of Ni^0 decreased from 36.1 nm to below 5 nm; meanwhile the complete hydrogenation of naphthalene was dependent on the Ni^0 particle size. The hydrogenation activities of the catalysts prepared by co-impregnation with polyols were very high with 100% conversion even at iow temperature of 55 ℃.展开更多

The generation of hydrogen from bio-oil was investigated from 250 to 750 ℃ by a MgO mixed C12A7-O^-(C12A7-MgO) catalyst in a fixed-bed micro-reactor. The hydrogen yield on C12A7-MgO was about 44% at 750 ℃. It is found that both the catalytic activity and catalysis life are improved by doping MgO. The XRD results show that the C12A7 structure of the positively charged lattice framework remains in the C12A7-MgO catalyst.展开更多

The results showed that Cu/HMOR prepared via iron-exchange method exhibited the highest catalytic activity due to the synergistic effect of active-site metal and acidic molecular sieve support. Conversion of 95.3% and methyl acetate selectivity of 94.9% were achieved under conditions of 210℃, 1.5 MPa, and GSHV of 4883 h-1. The catalysts were characterized by nitrogen absorption, X-ray diffraction, NH3 temperature program desorption, and CO temperature program desorption techniques. It was found that Cu/HMOR prepared by ion-exchange method possessed high surface area, moderate strong acid centers, and CO adsorption centers, which improved catalytic performance for the reaction of CO insertion to dimethyl ether.展开更多

The results showed that the catalytic activity was obviously affected by the calcination temperature. The maximal DME conversion of 97.2% and the MA selectivity of 97.9% were obtained over the Cu/HMOR calcined at 430 ℃ under conditions of 210 ℃, 1.5 MPa, and GSHV of 4883 h^-1. The obtained Cu/HMOR catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, N2 absorption, NH3 temperature program desorption, CO temperature program desorption, and Raman techniques. Proper calcination temperature was effective to promote copper ions migration and diffusion, and led the support HMOR to possess more acid activity sites, which exhibited the complete decomposing of copper nitrate, large surface area and optimum micropore structure, more amount of CO adsorption site and proper amount of weak acid centers.展开更多

It was found that the surfactant could induce Co nanocrystals to form nanowires as structure-directing agent, while it's ineffective for Cu because only spherical Cu particles were produced under the same condition. When Co2+ and Cu2+ coexist in polyol, Cu2+ is firstly reduced and forms the spherical particles, and then the Cu particles afford surface for the subsequential reduction of Co2+ and growth of Co nanocrystals to form the nanorods, obtaining the urchin-like CoCu nanocomposites. The catalytic performance in selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols proposed that the CoCu urchin-like nanocomposites was superior to the Co nanowires possibly due to that the synergistic effect between Co and Cu component promoted conversion of glyc- erol and obtained the higher propanediol yields based on the specific surface areas of the catalysts.展开更多

In the forepart catalyst bed reactor, the catalytic conversion can effectively adjust the rich-CO2 crude bio-syngas into the CO-containing bio-syngas using the CuZnA1Zr catalyst. After the on-line syngas conditioning at 450℃, the CO2/CO ratio in the blo- syngas significantly decreased from 6.3 to 1.2. In the rearward catalyst bed reactor, the conversion of the conditioned bio-syngas to bio-methanol shows the maximum yield about 1.21 kg/(kgcatarh) MeOH with a methanol selectivity of 97.9% at 260 ~C and 5.05 MPa using conventional CuZnA1 catalyst, which is close to the level typically obtained in the conventional methanol synthesis process using natural gas. The influences of temperature, pressure and space velocity on the bio-methanol synthesis were also investigated in detail.展开更多
