Chemical looping conversion of methane via Fe_(2)O_(3)-LaFeO_(3)calcined from LaFe-MOF precursor

The effective utilization of natural gas resources is a promising option for the implementation of the"dual carbon"strategy.However,the capture of carbon dioxide with relatively lower concentration after the combustion of natural gas is the crucial step.Fortunately,the lattice oxygen is used for chemical cycle conversion of methane to overcome the shortcomings mentioned above.A method was proposed to synthesize perovskite for methane cycle conversion using metal organic framework as a precursor.Morphology and pore structure of Fe_(2)O_(3)-LaFeO_(3)composite oxides were regulated by precursor synthesis conditions and calcination process.Moreover,the chemical looping conversion performance of methane was evaluated.The results showed that the pure phase precursor of La[Fe(CN)_(6)]·5H_(2)O was synthesized with the specific surface area of 23.91 m^(2)·g^(-1)under the crystallization of 10 h and the pH value of10.5.Fe_(2)O_(3)-LaFeO_(3)was obtained by controlled calcination of La[Fe(CN)_(6)]·5H_(2)O and Fe_(2)O_(3)with variable mass ratio.The selectivity of CO_(2)can reach more than 99%under the optimal parameters of methane chemical looping conversion:m(Fe_(2)O_(3)):m(LaFeO_(3))=2:1,the reaction temperature is 900℃,the lattice oxygen conversion is less than 40%.Fe_(2)O_(3)-LaFeO_(3)still has good phase and structure stability after five redox reaction and regeneration cycles.

Comparative study of the adsorption performance of NH_(2)-functionalized metal organic frameworks with activated carbon composites for the treatment of phenolic wastewaters

To better understand the role of the-NH_(2)group in adsorption process of phenolic wastewaters,NH_(2)-functionalized MIL-53(Al)composites with activated carbon(NH_(2)-M(Al)@(B)AC)were prepared.The results showed that the-NH_(2)group could increase the mesopore volume for composites,which promotes mass transfer and full utilization of active sites,because hierarchical mesopore structure makes the adsorbent easier to enter the internal adsorption sites.Furthermore,the introduction of the-NH_(2)group can improve the adsorption capacity,decrease the activation energy,and enhance the interaction between the adsorbent and p-nitrophenol,demonstrating that the-NH_(2)group plays a crucial role in the adsorption of p-nitrophenol.The density functional theory calculation results show that the H-bond interaction between the-NH_(2)group in the adsorbent and the-NO_(2)in the p-nitrophenol(adsorption energy of -35.5 kJ·mol^(-1)),and base-acid interaction between the primary-NH_(2)group in the adsorbent and the acidic-OH group in the p-nitrophenol(adsorption energy of -27.3 kJ·mol^(-1))are predominant mechanisms for adsorption in terms of the NH_(2)-functionalized adsorbent.Both NH_(2)-functionalized M(Al)@AC and M(Al)@BAC composites exhibited higher p-nitrophenol adsorption capacity than corresponding nonfunctionalized composites.Among the composites,the NH_(2)-M(Al)@BAC had the highest p-nitrophenol adsorption capacity of 474 mg·g^(-1).

A new approach,named production of aryl oxygen-containing compounds from the catalytic pyrolysis of bagasse lignin(BL) over perovskite oxide,was proposed,A series of LaTixFe1-xO3(LTF-x) samples were prepared by the solid state reaction method.The crystal phase and morphology of LTF-x were characterized by XRD and SEM respectively.Catalytic pyrolysis performance of LTF-x was performed by TG-DTG and the distribution patterns of gaseous,liquid and solid products from BL was investigated using a fixed-bed micro-reactor.The optimal reaction conditions were determined:the pyrolysis temperature was 600℃,the mass ratio of mBL:mLTF-0.2 was 3:1,the veloeity of earrier gas was 100 ml·min-1.The gaseous produets were mainly eomposed of CO2,CO,CH4 and CnHm(n=2-4,m=2 n+2 or m=2 n),The main aryl oxygen-containing compounds in liquid products were phenolics,guaiacols,syringols and phenylates,the rest were benzenes,furans,esters and carboxylic acid.The total contents of aryl oxygencontaining compounds were from 62% up to more than 72% under the action of the perovskite.Moreover,the LTF-0.2 sample had nice regenerability.

Catalytic depolymerization of calcium lignosulfonate by NiMgFeO_x derived from sub-micron sized NiMgFe hydrotalcite prepared by introducing hydroxyl compounds

A new method for regulating the synthesis of Ni Mg Fe hydrotalcites(NMF LDHs) with the addition of hydroxyl compounds was proposed. A series of NMF LDHs were prepared by the above method, and then were calcined to obtain the Ni Mg FeOx(NMFOx) samples. The NMFOxsamples were characterized by XRD,SEM, TG-DTG, XPS and CO2-TPD, respectively. The catalytic performance of NMFOxfor depolymerizing calcium lignosulfonate(CLS) was evaluated by hydrothermal reaction. The results showed that the addition of hydroxyl compounds favored reducing the particle sizes of NMF LDHs. For the depolymerization of CSL, the yield of liquid product increased from 45% to 75.8% with the addition of NMFOx-ethanol(NMFOxET). The liquid products were mainly phenolics, aromatics, ketones and esters. The total selectivity of oxy-containing compounds was over 90.6%, among them, the phenolics were approximately 35.2%. The valence of Ni and Fe, crystalline phase and basicity almost remained unchanged. The NMFOx-ET samples were recycled for the depolymerization of CLS, moreover, the NMFOx-ET samples had high activity and stability after 4 cycles.

Preparation of highly active MCM-41 supported Ni_2P catalysts and its dibenzothiophene HDS performance

Highly active MCM-41 supported nickel phosphide catalysts for hydrodesulfurization(HDS) were synthesized by two different phosphorus sources, in which the surface of Ni_2P catalysts were modified by air instead of being passivated by O_2/N_2 mixture. In addition, the catalysts need not be activated with flowing H_2(30 ml·min^(-1))at 500 °C for 2 h prior to reaction as traditional method. X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), N_2-adsorption specific surface area measurements and CO chemisorption were used to characterize the resulting catalysts. The effect of modification with air on the surface of the catalysts for HDS performance was investigated. Results showed that the surface modification with air can promote the formation of smaller Ni_2P particles and more active Ni sites on surface of catalysts. At 3.0 MPa and 613 K, the dibenzothiophene(DBT)conversion of the catalysts modified with air was 98.7%, which was 7.1% higher than that of catalyst passivated by O_2/N_2 mixture. The higher activities of Ni_2P(x)/M41-O catalysts can be attributed to the smaller Ni_2P particles sizes and the increased hydrogen dissociation activity due to the surface modification.
