The effects of treatment temperature on crystallinity, textural properties and chemical composites were studied by XRD, N2 sorption, FT-IR and XRF techniques. The desulfurization performance of parent and alkaline-treated beta zeolites was investigated by static absorption in four model fuels, containing four sulfur compounds of different molecular sizes like thiophene (TP), 3-methylthiophene (3-MT), benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT), respectively. The crystallinity was observed to be successfully maintained when the treatment temperature was below 50 ℃. Mesoporosity of beta zeolite was evidently developed with alkaline treatment. The formation of mesopore remarkably improved the desulfurization performance for TP, 3-MT, BT and DBT, especially for DBT with larger molecular diameter. Though the addition of toluene in the model fuels resulted in a significant drop of the desulfurization performance of mesoporous beta zeolite, the introduction of cerium ions to some extent mitigated the effect of toluene, which means that both the adsorbent’s porous structure and the adsorption mode are responsible for the desulfurization performance. The adsorbent of cerium ion-exchanged mesoporous beta showed about 80% recovery of desulfurization after the first regeneration.展开更多

However, its complex synthesis procedure and high production cost significantly reduce the use of 2,6-DMN. In this study, the synthesis of 2,6-DMN was investigated with methylation of 2-methylnaphthalene(2-MN) over metal-loaded beta zeolite catalysts including beta zeolite, Cu-impregnated beta zeolite and Zr-impregnated beta zeolite. The experiments were performed in a fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reactor was operated at a temperature range of 400–500 °C and varying weight hourly space velocity between 1 and 3 h^(-1).The results demonstrated that 2,6-DMN can be synthesized by methylation of 2-MN over beta type zeolite catalysts.Besides 2,6-DMN, the product stream also contained other DMN isomers such as 2,7-DMN, 1,3-DMN, 1,2-DMN and 2,3-DMN. The activity and selectivity of beta zeolite catalyst were remarkably enhanced by Zr impregnation, whereas Cu modification of beta zeolite catalyst had an insignificant effect on its selectivity. The highest conversion of 2-MN reached81%, the highest ratio of 2,6-DMN/2,7-DMN reached 2.6 and the highest selectivity of 2,6-DMN was found to be 20% by using Zr-modified beta zeolite catalyst.展开更多

A model cluster containing 41Si atoms, 1 Al atom, 70 O atoms and 29 H atoms was constructed. The model structures were optimized using the Becke's three-parameter hybrid method with the Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional (B3LYP) and the 6-31G basis set applying the Gaussian03 program package. The NMR parameters were calculated to validate the rationality of the model. It was found that in the optimization models, all O-H bond lengths were in range of 0.984-0.985A^°, among which the model with O-H bond length of 0.98478A^° was more stable than the others. The ^1H and ^27Al chemical shifts of the most stable model were 4.03434 and 55.74 ppm, which were pretty consistent with Larry' s experimental data of 4.1 and 54 ppm. The relationship between other structure parameters and total relative electric energy has also been found. All the results exhibit that the 42 T (the total number of Si and Al atoms is 42) model has common properties of the standard of zeolite Beta.展开更多

The fast pyrolysis of biomass is an economical and advantageous to get bio-oil. However, bio-oil has a large amount of oxygenated compounds and needs upgrade. The catalytic process of HDO (hydrodeoxygenation) is the most efficient way to remove oxygen from the bio-oil. In this paper, it was studied the HDO phenol (300 ℃ and 35 atm) on catalysts based on cobalt or copper oxides supported on HBeta zeolite. The catalysts were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (infrared spectroscopy) and NH3-TPD (desorption of ammonia). The results showed the presence of CO304 (cobalt oxide) and CuO (copper oxide). The measurements showed the presence of acid sites weak, moderate and strong and that the impregnation of the metal oxide modifying the acidity of the support. The results showed the following order HDO conversion: CoHBeta 〉 CuHBeta 〉 HBeta. The presence of the cobalt or copper catalysts contributes to the increase in conversion due to hydrogenation. All catalysts were selective to benzene, but only the impregnated catalysts showed selectivity to cyclohexane and cyclohexene.展开更多

The synthesis route involves the pre-mixture of hydrofluoric acid with tetraethylammo- nium hydroxide (in a molar ratio of 1.3-1.5:1) before the addition of a silicon and cobalt source.Investigations by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-Vi s spectroscopy, X-ray pho-toelectron spectroscopy, H 2 -temperature-programmed reduct i on and transmi ssi on el ectron mi -croscopy confirm the presence of ultra-small CoO particles in the zeolite Beta structure. The ul-tra-small CoO particles in zeolite Beta present high stability against both oxidation and reduction atmospheres at high temperatures. The catalytic performance of the CoO-containing zeolite Beta catalysts was compared with other Co-containing zeolites by evaluating ethylbenzene oxidation reactivity. The CoO-containing zeolite Beta exhibits high ethylbenzene conversion and high selectiv-ity to acetophenone and 1-phenylethanol. The high activity of this catalyst system can be attributed to the high dispersion of the ultra-small CoO particles in the Beta structure.展开更多

Here, ITQ-16 films were prepared via the secondary growth method in the presence of Ge atoms. Various intrinsic defects of ITQ-16 films were fully studied through photoluminescence and FTIR characterizations. It was found that both the as-synthesized and calcined ITQ-16 films displayed multicolor photolumines- cence including ultraviolet, blue, green and red emissions by exciting upon appropriate wavelengths. The results in- dicate that Si--OH and non-bridging oxygen hole centers(NBOHCs) are responsible for the origin of green and red emissions at 540--800 nm, while according to a variety of emission bands of calcined ITQ-16 film, blue emission bands at around 446 and 462 nm are attributed to peroxy free radicals(≡SiO2*), ultraviolet emissions ranging from 250 nm to 450 nm are suggested originating from a singlet-to-triplet transition of two-fold-coordinated Si and Ge, respectively.展开更多
