The effect of ethanol on the performance of CrO_x/SiO_2 catalysts during propane dehydrogenation

The effects of ethanol vapor pretreatment on the performance of CrOx/SiO2 catalysts during the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene were studied with and without the presence of CO2.The catalyst pretreated with ethanol vapor exhibited better catalytic activity than the pristine CrOx/SiO2,generating 41.4% propane conversion and 84.8% propylene selectivity.The various catalyst samples prepared were characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,temperature-programmed reduction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy.The data show that coordinative Cr^3＋ species represent the active sites during the dehydrogenation of propane and that these species serve as precursors for the generation of Cr^3＋.Cr^3＋ is reduced during the reaction,leading to a decrease in catalytic activity.Following ethanol vapor pretreatment,the reduced CrOx in the catalyst is readily re-oxidized to Cr^6＋ by CO2.The pretreated catalyst thus exhibits high activity during the propane dehydrogenation reaction by maintaining the active Cr^3＋ states.

废烟气脱硝催化剂中TiO_(2)资源化回收实验研究

采用高温碱浸和酸洗的方法对废选择性催化还原(SCR)脱硝催化剂进行处理,研究碱浸和酸洗对催化剂各组分的浸出效果,考察温度对催化剂浸出行为的影响规律。结果表明,碱浸温度的提高促进V和W的浸出,210℃时V和W的浸出率分别为82.38%和74.92%。经高温碱浸和酸洗处理后,Al、Ca、Na等杂质的最高浸出率均可达98%以上,回收TiO_(2)的纯度较高,可用于生产新催化剂。高温碱浸会破坏催化剂的结构,有利于后续HCl处理对杂质的去除,除杂效果优于直接酸洗处理。高温碱浸过程中会生成Na_(2)TiO_(3),经HCl反应并水解后会形成新的TiO_(2)颗粒,形成更多的小孔,比表面积增大。

Effect of calcination temperature on structure and performance of Ni/TiO_2-SiO_2 catalyst for CO_2 reforming of methane

The influence of calcination temperature on the structure and catalytic behavior of Ni/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst, for CO2 reforming of methane to synthesis gas under atmospheric pressure, was investigated. The results showed that the Ni/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst calcined at 700 ℃ had high and stable activity while the catalysts calcined at 550 and 850 ℃ had low and unstable activity. Depending on the calcination temperature, one, two, or three of the following Ni-containing species, NiO, Ni2.44Ti0.72Si0.07O4, and NiTiO3 were identified by combining the temperature programmed reduction （TPR） and X-ray diffraction （XRD） results. Their reducibility decreased in the sequence： NiO〉Ni2.44Ti0.72Si0.07O4〉NiTiO3. It suggests that high and stable activities observed over the Ni/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst calcined at 700 ~C were induced by the formation of Ni2.44Ti0.72Si0.07O4 and smaller NiO species crystallite size.

Synthesis of Methyl Glycolate by Hydrogenation of Dimethyl Oxalate over Cu-Ag/SiO_2 Catalyst

Methyl glycolate is a good solvent and can be used as feedstock for the synthesis of some important organic chemicals. Catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate （DMO） over copper-silver catalyst supported on silica was studied. The Cu-Ag/SiO2 catalyst supported on silica sol was prepared by homogeneous deposition-precipitation of the mixture of aqueous euprammonia complex and silica sol. The proper active temperature of Cu-Ag/SiO2 catalyst for hydrogenation of DMO was 523-623 K. The most preferable reaction conditions for methyl glycolate （MG） were optimized： temperature at 468-478 K, 40-60 mesh catalyst diameter, H2/DMO ratio 40, and 1.0 h^-1 of LHSV.

In_2O_3-modified Cu/SiO_2 as an active and stable catalyst for the hydrogenation of methyl acetate to ethanol

A series of indium oxide‐modified Cu/SiO2catalysts were synthesized and used to produce ethanol via methyl acetate hydrogenation.In‐Cu/SiO2catalyst containing1.0wt%In2O3exhibited the best catalytic activity and stability.The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were investigated using several characterization methods and the results showed that introducing suitable indium to Cu/SiO2increased the copper dispersion,diminished the copper crystallite size,and enriched the surface Cu+concentration.Furthermore,the Cu/SiO2catalyst gradually deactivated during the stability test,which was mainly attributed to copper sintering and the valence change in surface copper species.In contrast,indium addition can inhibit the thermal transmigration and accumulation of copper nanoparticles to stabilize the catalyst.?2018,Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences.Published by Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.

Effect of TiO_2 surface properties on the SCR activity of NOx emission abatement catalyst

NOx emission abatement catalysts V 2O 5 supported on various TiO 2 including anatase, rutile and mixture of both were investigated with various physico\|chemical measurements such as BET, NH\-3\|TPD, NARP, XRD and so on, and the effect of TiO\-2 surface properties on the SCR(selective catalytic reduction) activity of V\-2O\-5/TiO\-2 catalysts was studied. It was found that the TiO\-2 surface properties had strong affect on the SCR activity of V\-2O\-5/TiO\-2 catalysts. The stronger acidic property resulted in the higher exposure of active sites as well as the higher SCR activity.

Comparative study of fluidized-bed and fixed-bed reactor for syngas methanation over Ni-W/TiO_2-SiO_2 catalyst

In this work,syngas methanation over Ni-W/TiO2-SiO2catalyst was studied in a fluidized-bed reactor(FBR)and its performance was compared with a fixed-bed reactor(FIXBR).The effects of main operating variables including feedstock gases space velocity,coke content,bed temperature and sulfur-tolerant stability of 100 h life were investigated.The structure of the catalysts was characterized by XRD,N2adsorptiondesorption and TEM.It is found that under same space velocity from 5000 h 1to 25000 h 1FBR gave a higher CH4yield,lower coke content,and lower bed temperature than those obtained in FIXBR.Ni-W/TiO2-SiO2catalyst possessed excellent sulfur-tolerant stability on the feedstock gases less than 500 ppm H2S in FBR.The carbon deposits formed on the spent catalyst were in the form of carbon fibers in FBR,while in the form of dense accumulation distribution appearance in FIXBR.

The nature of the deactivation of hydrothermally stable Ni/SiO2–Al2O3 catalyst in long-time aqueous phase hydrogenation of crude 1,4-butanediol

The deactivation of Ni/SiO2-Al2 O3 catalyst in hydrogenation of crude 1,4-butanediol was investigated.During the operation time of 2140 h,the catalyst showed slow activity decay.Characterization results,for four spent catalysts used at different time,indicated that the main reason of the catalyst deactivation was the deposition of carbonaceous species that covered the active Ni and blocked mesopores of the catalyst.The TPO and SEM measurements revealed that the carbonaceous species included both oligomeric and polymeric species with high C/H ratio and showed sheet.Such carbonaceous species might be eliminated through either direct H2 reduction or the combined oxidation-reduction methodologies.

Partial oxidation of methane over SiO2 supported Ni and NiCe catalysts

Nickel and nickel-ceria catalysts supported on high surface area silica, with 6 wt% Ni and 20 wt% CeO2 were prepared by microwave assisted(co) precipitation method. The catalysts were investigated by XRD,TPR and XPS analyses and they were tested in partial oxidation of methane(CPO). The catalytic reaction was carried out at atmospheric pressure in a temperature range of 400–800℃ with a feed gas mixture containing methane and oxygen in a molecular ratio CH4/O2=2. The Ni catalyst exhibited 60% methane conversion with 60% selectivity to CO already at 500℃. On the contrary, the Ni–Ce catalyst was inert to CPO up to 700℃. Moreover, the former catalyst reproduced its activity at the descending temperatures maintaining a good stability at 600℃, over a reaction time of 80 h, whereas the latter one completely deactivated. Test of CH4 temperature programmed surface reaction(CH4-TPSR) revealed a higher methane activation temperature(> 100℃) for the Ni–Ce catalyst as compared to the Ni one. Noticeable improvement of the ceria containing catalyst occurred when the reaction test started at a temperature higher than the methane decomposition temperature. In this case, the sample achieved the same catalytic behavior of the Ni catalyst. As confirmed by XPS analyses, the distinct electronic state of the supported nickel was responsible for the differences in catalytic behavior.

Effect of CO_2 on the structural variation of Na_2WO_4/Mn/SiO_2 catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene

In this work,the influence of CO2 on the structural variation and catalytic performance of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation method and characterized by XRD,Raman and XPS techniques. Appropriate amount of CO2 in the reactant gases enhanced the formation of surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and promoted the migration of O in MOx,Na,W from the catalyst bulk to surface,which were favorable for oxidative coupling of methane. When the molar ratio of CH4/O2/CO2 was 3/1/2,enriched surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and high surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W were detected,and then high CH4 conversion of 33.1% and high C2H4 selectivity of 56.2% were obtained. With further increase of CO2 in the reagent gases,the content of active surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W decreased,while that of inactive species（Mn WO4 and Mn2O3） increased dramatically,leading to low CH4 conversion and low C2H4 selectivity. It could be speculated that Na2WO4 crystal was transformed into Mn WO4 crystal with excessive CO2 added under the reaction conditions. Pretreatment of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 catalyst by moderate amount of CO2 before OCM also promoted the formation of Na2WO4 species.

Characterization and catalytic performance of CeO_2-Co/SiO_2 catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using nitrogen-diluted synthesis gas over a laboratory scale fixed-bed reactor

The surface species of CO hydrogenation on CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst were investigated using the techniques of temperature programmed reaction and transient response method. The results indicated that the formation of H2O and CO2 was the competitive reaction for the surface oxygen species, CH4 was produced via the hydrogenation of carbon species step by step, and C2 products were formed by the polymerization of surface-active carbon species （-CH2-）. Hydrogen assisted the dissociation of CO. The hydrogenation of surface carbon species was the rate-limiting step in the hydrogenation of CO over CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst. The investigation of total pressure, gas hourly space velocity （GHSV）, and product distribution using nitrogen-rich synthesis gas as feedstock over a laboratory scale fixed-bed reactor indicated that total pressure and GHSV had a significant effect on the catalytic performance of CeO2-Co/SiO2 catalyst. The removal of heat and control of the reaction temperature were extremely critical steps, which required lower GHSV and appropriate CO conversion to avoid the deactivation of the catalyst. The feedstock of nitrogen-rich synthesis gas was favorable to increase the conversion of CO, but there was a shift of product distribution toward the light hydrocarbon. The nitrogen-rich synthesis gas was feasible for F-T synthesis for the utilization of remote natural gas.

Active Fischer-Tropsch synthesis Fe-Cu-K/SiO_2 catalysts prepared by autocombustion method without a reduction step

The purpose of this study was to prepare iron-based catalysts supported on silica by autocombustion method for directly using for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis（FTS） without a reduction step. The effect of different citric acid（CA）：iron nitrate（N） molar ratios and acid types on the FTS performance of catalysts were investigated. The CA：N molar ratios had an important influence on the formation of iron active phases and FTS activity. The iron carbide（FexC）, which is known to be one of the iron active phases, was demonstrated by the X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Increasing the CA：N molar ratios up to 0.1 increased CO conversion of catalyst to 86.5%, which was then decreased markedly at higher CA：N molar ratios. An excess of CA resulted in carbon residues covering the catalyst surface and declined FTS activity. The optimal catalyst（CA：N molar ratio = 0.1） achieved the highest CO conversion when compared with other autocombustion catalysts as well as reference catalyst prepared by impregnation method, followed by a reduction step. The autocombustion method had the advantage to synthesize more efficient catalysts without a reduction step. More interestingly, iron-based FTS catalysts need induction duration at the initial stage of FTS reaction even after reduction, because metallic iron species need time to be transformed to FexC. But here, even if without reduction, FexC was formed directly by autocombustion and induction period was eliminated during FTS reaction.

Influence of catalyst support structure on ethene/decene metathesis and coke formation over WO_3/SiO_2 catalyst

8wt%WO3/SiO2 metathesis （disproportionation） catalysts with different pore structures were prepared by the incipient-wetness-impregnation method. The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorpfion-desorption, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy （DRS） and scanning transmission electron microscopy-high-angle annular dark field （STEM HAADF）. The results of STEM HAADF showed that WO3 species were not uniformly distributed on the SiO2 support. The experimental results of 8wt%WO3/SiO2 performance in ethene/decene metathesis revealed that the catalytic effect of 8wt%WO3/SiO2 catalyst and coke formation over it were closely related to the support pore structure： The 8wt%WO3/SiO2 catalyst with a more complicated pore structure showed better catalytic performance but the coke deposition rate was also faster.

In-Situ FT-IR Investigation Methane to Syngas over of Partial Oxidation of Rh/SiO2 Catalyst

Partial oxidation of methane to syngas （POM） over Rh/SiO2 catalyst was investigated using in-situ FT-IR. When methane interacted with 1.0wt%Rh/SiO2 catalyst, it was dissociated to adsorbed hydrogen and CHx species. The adsorbed hydrogen atoms were transferred to SiO2 surface by ＂spill-over＂ and reacted with lattice oxygen to form surface -OH species. POM mechanism was investigated over Rh/SiO2 catalyst using in-situ FT-IR. It was found that CO2 was formed before CO could be detected when CH4 and O2 were introduced over the preoxidized Rh/SiO2 catalyst, whereas CO was detected before CO2 was formed over the prereduced Rh/SiO2 catalyst.
