Oxidative Desulfurization of DBT with H2O2 over 3DOM H3PW12O40/Al2O3 Catalyst

A series of heteropoly acid (HPA) based Al2O3 catalysts with three-dimensional ordered (3DOM) structure were synthesized by colloidal crystal template method.Interconnected macropores (250 nm) could be clearly observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).Mesopores could be detected by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms which further confirmed the 3DOM structural characteristics of catalyst.Moreover,Keggin-type HPW was highly dispersed in the Al2O3 framework,which suggested by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) results.The oxidation desulfurization (ODS) performance of 3DOM H3PW12O40/Al2O3 of refractory sulphur compounds was evaluated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.It oxidized 98.5% of dibenzothiophene (DBT) into corresponding sulfone within 3 h,which exhibited superior ODS performance than corresponding mesoporous and microporous H3PW12O40/Al2O3 catalyst.The enhancement of ODS efficiency is related to the improvement of mass transfer of DBT in the pore channel resulting from the interconnected 3DOM structure.Furthermore,the as-prepared catalyst still demonstrates outstanding cycle performance after 6 runs,which could be easily recovered from the model fuel.

In Situ IR Spectroscopic Study on the Hydrogenation of 1,3-Butadiene on Fresh Mo_2C/γ-Al_2O_3 Catalyst

The surface species formed from the adsorption of 1,3-butadiene and 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation over the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was studied by in situ IR spectroscopy. It is found that 1,3-butadiene adsorption on the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst mainly forms π-adsorbed butadiene(πs and πd) and σ-bonded surface species. These species are adsorbed mainly on the surface Moδ+(0<δ<2) sites as evidenced by co-adsorption of 1,3-butadiene and CO on the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The IR spectrometric analysis show that hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene over fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst produces mainly butane coupled with a small portion of butene. The selectivity of butene during the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene over fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst might be explained by the adsorption mode of adsorbed 1,3-butadiene. Additionally, the active sites of the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst may be covered by coke during the hydrogenation reaction of 1,3-butadiene. The treatment with hydrogen at 673 K cannot remove the coke deposits from the surface of the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.

Studies on the Hydrogenation of Acetonitrile over Fresh Mo_2C/γ-Al_2O_3 Catalyst by In-situ IR Spectroscopy

The adsorption of acetonitrile, the co-adsorption of acetonitrile with CO, and hydrogenation of acetonitrile on fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst were studied by in situ IR spectroscopy. It was found out that CH3CN exhibited strong interaction with the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst and was adsorbed mainly on Moδ+ sites of fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Moreover, CH3CN could affect the shifting of IR spectra for CO adsorption towards a lower wave number. The IR spectroscopic study on acetonitrile hydrogenation showed that CH3CN could be easily hydrogenated in the presence of H2 on the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Furthermore, it was observed that CH3 CN could be selectively hydrogenated to imines on fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Additionally, the active sites of fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst might be covered with coke during the hydrogenation reaction of acetonitrile. The treatment of catalyst with hydrogen at 673 K could not completely remove coke deposits on the surface of the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.

CH_4 reforming with CO_2 for syngas production over La_2O_3 promoted Ni catalysts supported on mesoporous nanostructured γ-Al_2O_3

Nanostructured -y-A12O3 with high surface area and mesoporous structure was synthesized by sol-gel method and employed as catalyst support for nickel catalysts in methane reforming with carbon dioxide. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, TPR, TPO, TPH, NH3-TPD and SEM techniques. The BET analysis showed a high surface area of 204 m2.g-1 and a narrow pore-size distribution centered at a diameter of 5.5 nm for catalyst support. The BET results revealed that addition of lanthanum oxide to aluminum oxide decreased the specific surface area. In addition, TPR results showed that addition of lanthanum oxide increased the reducibility of nickel catalyst. The catalytic evaluation results showed an increase in methane conversion with increasing lanthanum oxide to 3 mol% and further increase in lanthanum content decreased the catalytic activity. TPO analysis revealed that the coke deposition decreased with increasing lanthanum oxide to 3 mol%. SEM and TPH analyses confirmed the formation of whisker type carbon over the spent catalysts. Addition of steam and Oxide to drv reformin feed increased the methane conversion and led to carbon free ooeration in combined orocesses.

Characterization of various surface Co-sites on reduced Co-Mo/Al_2O_3 and Ru-Co-Mo/Al_2O_3 catalysts using IR and MS spectroscopies

An investigation on adsorption of NO on reduced Co-Mo/Al_2O_3 and Ru-Co-Mo/Al_2O_3 catalysts has been performed using FT-IR and MS spectroscopies. IR spectra of NO adsorption showed two bands at 1895 and 1800 cm_(-1), and NO--TPD profiles gave rise to several peaks at 353, 423 and 473 K, which are assigned to various Co-sites on the surface. Compared with Co-Mo/Al_2O_3, the adsorption rate, binding energy, and amount of NO adsorbed on Ru-Co-Mo/Al_2O_3 are very high.

Investigation of fluorescence characterization and electrochemical behavior on the catalysts of nanosized Pt-Rh/y-AI203 to oxidize gaseous ammonia

This work describes the environmentally friendly technology for oxidation of ammonia （NH3） to form nitrogen at temperatures range from 423K to 673K by selective catalytic oxidation （SCO） over a nanosized Pt- Rh/γ-A12O3 catalyst prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method of hexachloroplatinic acid （H2PtC16） and rhodium （Ⅲ） nitrate （Rh（NO3）3） with γ-A12O3 in a tubular fixed-bed flow quartz reactor （TFBR）. The characterization of catalysts were thoroughly measured using transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, three- dimensional excitation-emission fluorescent matrix （EEFM） spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption, dynamic light- scattering （DLS）, zeta potential meter, and cyclic voltam- metry （CV）. The results demonstrated that at a temperature of 673K and an oxygen content of4%, approximately 99% of the NH3 was removed by catalytic oxidation over the nanosized Pt-Rh/γ-A12O3 catalyst. N2 was the main product in NH3-SCO process. Further, it reveals that the oxidation of NH3 was proceeds by the over-oxidation of NH3 into NO, which was conversely reacted with the NH3 to yield N2. Therefore, the application ofnanosized Pt-Rh/γ-A12O3 catalyst can significantly enhance the catalytic activity toward NH3 oxidation. One fluorescent peak for fresh catalyst was different with that of exhausted catalyst. It indicates that EEFM spectroscopy was proven to be an appropriate and effective method to characterize the Pt clusters in intrinsic emission from nanosized Pt-Rh/γ-A12O3 catalyst. Results obtained from the CV may explain the significant catalytic activity of the catalysts.
