Kinetics of selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3 on Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst

The catalyst of Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 has been found to be more active than Fe-ZSM-5 and Mo/ZSM-5 separately for selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of nitric oxide （NO） with NH3. The kinetics of the SCR reaction in the presence of O2 was studied in this work. The results showed that the observed reaction orders were 0.74-0.99, 0.01-0.13, and 0 for NO, O2 and NH3 at 350-450℃, respectively. And the apparent activation energy of the SCR was 65 kJ/mol on the Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst. The SCR mechanism was also deduced. Adsorbed NO species can react directly with adsorbed ammonia species on the active sites to form N2 and H2O. Gaseous O2 might serve as a reoxidizing agent for the active sites that have undergone reduction in the SCR process. It is also important to note that a certain amount of NO was decomposed directly over the Fe-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst in the absence of NH3.

Kinetic spectrophotometric determination of vanadium in steels based on the catalytic oxidation of thionine by potassium bromate

A sensitive and selective kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of V（V） was developed based on the catalytic oxidation of thionine by KBIO3 in 0.6 mol·L^-1 HaPO4 medium. The linear calibration range and detection limit at 25℃ were 0-0.5 μg·mL^-1 and 0.01 μg·mL^-1, respectively. In the presence of NaF and urea, most of the common ions did not interfere with the determination of V（V）. The proposed method was applied for the determination of vanadium in steels and satisfactory results were obtained.

An 8-lump kinetic model was proposed to predict the yields of propylene, ethylene and gasoline in the catalytic pyrolysis process of Daqing atmospheric residue. The model contains 21 kinetic parameters and one for catalyst deactivation. A series of experiments were carded out in a riser reactor over catalyst named LTB-2. The ki- netic parameters were estimated by using sub-model method, and apparent activation energies were calculated according to the Arrhenius equation： The predicted yields coincided well with the experimental values. It shows that the kinetic parameters estimated by using the sub-model method were reliable.

Mechanistic Study and Kinetic Determination of Cu(Ⅱ) by the Catalytic Kinetic Spectrophotometric Method

A highly sensitive and selective catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of Cu(Ⅱ) is proposed. It is based on the catalytic effect of Cu(Ⅱ) on the oxidation of glutathione(GSH) by potassium hexacyanoferrate(Ⅲ) in acidic medium at 25.0℃. The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of oxidant at 420 nm using the fix-time method. Under the optimum conditions, the proposed method allows the determination of Cu(Ⅱ) in a range of 0-35.0 ng m L^(-1) with good precision and accuracy and the limit of detection is down to 0.04 ng m L^(-1). The relative standard deviation(RSD) is 1.02%. The reaction orders with respect to each reagent are found to be 1, 1/2, and 1/2 for potassium hexacyanoferrate(Ⅲ), glutathione and Cu(Ⅱ) respectively. On the basis of these values, the rate equation is obtained and the possible mechanism is established. Moreover, few anions and cations can interfere with the determination of Cu(Ⅱ). The new proposed method can be successfully used to the determination of Cu(Ⅱ) in fresh water samples and seawater samples. It is found that the proposed method has fairly good selectivity, high sensitivity, good repeatability, simplicity and rapidity.

Performance and Kinetics Studies on Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with NH_3 over MnO_x-WO_3/TiO_2 Catalyst

The catalytic activities of MnOx-WO3/TiO2 for selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO with NH3 were investigated in a wide range of temperature and reaction condition.It yielded a NOx conversion of 80.3%—99.6% and a N2 product selectivity of 100%—98.7% during 100 °C to 350 °C at gas hourly space velocity（GHSV）=18900 h-1.In the presence of 0.01% SO2 and 6% H2O at 120 °C,the NOx conversion can maintain 98.5%.At 300 °C and with 0.07% SO2 in reactant stream,the NOx conversion stabilized at 99% as high as the commercial V-W/TiO2 catalyst＇s level.The steady-state kinetics study shows that O2 played a promoting role.In the presence of less than 1.5% O2,NOx conversion can increase sharply with the increase of O2 concentration.The reaction order was zero with respect to NH3 and first with respect to NO with excess O2 and H2O.The kinetics active energy（Ea） of Mn-W/TiO2 was calculated to be 6.24 kJ/mol according to the kinetic experiment at various temperatures,much lower than those of other catalysts reported in the literature.Mn-W/TiO2 is an excellent catalyst for SCR of NO with NH3 by now.

Carbon dots regulate the interface electron transfer and catalytic kinetics of Pt-based alloys catalyst for highly efficient hydrogen oxidation

The regulation of interface electron-transfer and catalytic kinetics is very important to design the efficient electrocatalyst for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction(HOR).Here,we show the Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles(PtNi_(2))have an enhanced HOR activity compared with single component Pt catalyst.While,the interface electron-transfer kinetics of PtNi_(2)catalyst exhibits a very wide electron-transfer speed distribution.When combined with carbon dots(CDs),the interface charge transfer of PtNi_(2)-CDs composite is optimized,and then the PtNi_(2)-5 mg CDs exhibits about 2.67 times and 4.04 times higher mass and specific activity in 0.1 M KOH than that of 20%commercial Pt/C.In this system,CDs also contribute to trapping H^(+)and H_(2)O generated during HOR,tuning hydrogen binding energy(HBE),and regulating interface electron transfer.This work provides a deep understanding of the interface catalytic kinetics of Pt-based alloys towards highly efficient HOR catalysts design.

Catalytic Spectrophotometry for Vanadium Determination Based on Oxidation of Arsenazo Ⅲ by Bichromate

A catalytic spectrophotometry for the determination of trace amount of vanadium was developed based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of arsenazo by potassium bichromate in weak acidic medium. The optimized conditions for determinations are: cK2Cr2O7=3.010-5 molL-1, carsenazo =3.010-5 molL-1, pH=4.0, t=90. The calibration graph is linear for 0.020.2 gml-1, and the detection limit is 0.02 gml-1 V. The apparent active energy of this catalytic reaction is 21.72 kJmol-1. Most foreign ions do not interfere with the determination of vadadium, except for Fe() and Co(), and their interferences could be eliminated by ion exchange. The present method has been used to make the determination of vanadium in human hair, tea, potato and wastewater, and the results were satisfactory.

Light olefin production by catalytic co-cracking of Fischer–Tropsch distillate with methanol and the reaction kinetics investigation

Catalytic co-cracking of Fischer–Tropsch(FT) light distillate and methanol combines highly endothermic olefin cracking reaction with exothermic methanol conversion over ZSM-5 catalyst to produce light olefins through a nearly thermoneutral process. The kinetic behavior of co-cracking reactions was investigated by different feed conditions: methanol feed only, olefin feed only and co-feed of methanol with olefins or F–T distillate. The results showed that methanol converted to C2–C6 olefins in first-order parallel reaction at low space time, methylation and oligomerization–cracking prevailed for the co-feed of methanol and C2–C5 olefins, while for C6–C8 olefins,monomolecular cracking was the dominant reaction whether fed alone or co-fed with methanol. For FT distillate and methanol co-feed, alkanes were almost un-reactive, C3–C5 olefins were obtained as main products, accounting for 71 wt% for all products. A comprehensive co-cracking reaction scheme was proposed and the model parameters were estimated by the nonlinear least square method. It was verified by experimental data that the kinetic model was reliable to predict major product distribution for co-cracking of FT distillate with methanol and could be used for further reactor development and process design.

Experimental and Kinetic Study of Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH_3 over CuO/Al_2O_3/Cordierite Catalyst

The CuO/γ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst, after being sulfated by sulfur dioxide (SO2) at 673 K, exhibits high activities for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxide (NO) with ammonia (NH3) at 573-723 K. The intrinsic kinetics of SCR of NO with NH3 over CuO/γ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst has been measured in a fixed-bed reactor in the absence of internal and external diffusions. The experimental results show that the reaction rate can be quantified by a first-order expression with activation energy Eá of 94.01 kJ·mol-1 and the corresponding p re-exponential factor A′ of 3.39×108 cm3·g-1·s-1 when NH3 is excessive. However, when NH3 is not enough, an E ley-Rideal kinetic model based on experimental data is derived with Ea of 105.79 kJ·mol-1, the corresponding A of 2 .94×109 cm3·g-1·s-1, heat of adsorption-Hads of 87.90 kJ·mol-1 and the corresponding Aads of 9.24 cm3·mol-1. The intrinsic kinetic model obtained was incorporated in a 3D mathematical model of monolithic reactor, and the agreement of the prediction with experimental data indicates that the present kinetic model is adequate for the reac-tor design and engineering scale-up.

Kinetics of catalytically activated duplication in aggregation growth

We propose a catalytically activated duplication model to mimic the coagulation and duplication of the DNA polymer system under the catalysis of the primer RNA. In the model, two aggregates of the same species can coagulate themselves and a DNA aggregate of any size can yield a new monomer or double itself with the help of RNA aggregates. By employing the mean-field rate equation approach we analytically investigate the evolution behaviour of the system. For the system with catalysis-driven monomer duplications, the aggregate size distribution of DNA polymers αk（t） always follows a power law in size in the long-time limit, and it decreases with time or approaches a time-independent steady-state form in the case of the duplication rate independent of the size of the mother aggregates, while it increases with time increasing in the case of the duplication rate proportional to the size of the mother aggregates. For the system with complete catalysis-driven duplications, the aggregate size distribution αk（t） approaches a generalized or modified scaling form.

Kinetics of 2-Methyl-6-acetyl-naphthalene Liquid Phase Catalytic Oxidation

In this paper, a kinetics model for the liquid-phase oxidation of 2-methyl-6-acetyl-naphthalene to 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid catalyzed by cobalt-manganese-bromide is proposed. The effects of the reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and ratio of catalyst on the lime evolution of the experimental concentration for the constituents including raw material, intermediates and product are investigated. The model parameters are determined in a nonlinear optimization, minimizing the difference between the simulated and experimental time evolution of the product composition obtained in a semi-batch oxidation reactor where the gas and liquid phase were well nuxed. The kinetics data demonstrate that the model is suitable to the liquid-phase oxidation of 2-methyl-6-acetyl-naphthalene to 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid.

Synthesis of 4-Phenylphthalonitrile by Vapor-Phase Catalytic Ammoxidation of Intermediate 4-Phenyl-<i>o</i>-Tolunitrile: Reaction Kinetics

Kinetic regularities of 4-phenyl-o-tolunitrile ammoxidation on V-Sb-Bi-Zr/γ-Al2O3 oxide catalyst in the temperature interval 633 - 673 K have been studied. It has been established that rates of conversion of 4-phenyl-o-tolu- nitrile into the aimed 4-phenylphthalonitrile and CO2 are described by half-order equation on concentration of substratum and to be independent of the oxygen and ammonia partial pressures. It has been revealed that formation of 4-phenylphthalimide from byproducts is due to hydrolysis of 4-phenylphthalonitrile;carbon dioxide is produced by oxidation of 4-phenyl-o-tolunitrile and decarboxylation of 4-phenylphthalimide, and 4-phenylben- zonitrile is produced from 4-phenyl-o-tolunitrile and 4-phenylphthalimide.

7-lump kinetic model for residual oil catalytic cracking

In this paper a novel 7-lump kinetic model is proposed to describe residual oil catalytic cracking, in which coke is lumped separately for accurate prediction. The reactor block is modeled as a combination of an ideal pipe flow reactor (PFR) and a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Unit factors are designed to correct the deviation between model predictions and practical plant data and tuned by modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The parameters estimated are reliable and good agreement between the model predictions and plant observations is observed. The model helps us get good insight into the per- formance of an industrial riser reactor that would be useful for optimization of residual oil catalytic cracking.

Isolated diatomic Zn-Co metal–nitrogen/oxygen sites with synergistic effect on fast catalytic kinetics of sulfur species in Li-S battery

Lithium-sulfur batteries are severely restricted by low electronic conductivity of sulfur and Li_(2)S,shuttle effect,and slow conversion reaction of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs).Herein,we report a facile and highyield strategy for synthesizing dual-core single-atom catalyst(ZnCoN_(4)O_(2)/CN)with atomically dispersed nitrogen/oxygen-coordinated Zn-Co sites on carbon nanosheets.Based on density functional theory(DFT)calculations and LiPSs conversion catalytic ability,ZnCoN_(4)O_(2)/CN provides dual-atom sites of Zn and Co,which could facilitate Li^(+)transport and Li_(2)S diffusion,and catalyze LiPSs conversion more effectively than homonuclear bimetallic single-atom catalysts or their simple mixture and previously reported singleatom catalysts.Li-S cell with ZnCoN_(4)O_(2)/CN modified separator showed excellent rate performance(789.4 mA h g^(-1)at 5 C)and stable long cycle performance(0.05%capacity decay rate at 6C with 1000cycles,outperforming currently reported single atomic catalysts for LiPSs conversion.This work highlights the important role of metal active centers and provides a strategy for producing multifunctional dual-core single atom catalysts for high-performance Li-S cells.

Catalytic kinetics of dimethyl ether one-step synthesis over CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 catalyst in sulfur-containing syngas process

CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 catalyst was prepared for the dimethyl ether(DME) one-step synthesis in a continuous fixed-bed micro-reactor from the sulfur-containing syngas. The catalytic stability over hybrid catalyst of CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 was investigated to ensure that the kinetics experimental results were not significantly influenced by induction period and catalytic deactivation. A large number of kinetic data points(40 sets) were obtained over a range of temperature(240–300 °C), pressure(3–4 MPa), gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)(2000–3000 L·kg^(-1)·h^(-1)) and H_2/CO mole ratio(2–3). Kinetic model for the methanol synthesis reaction and the dehydration of methanol were obtained separately according to reaction mechanism and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Regression parameters were investigated by the method combining the simplex method and Runge–Kutta method. The model calculations were in appropriate accordance with the experimental data.

Catalytic-kinetic spectrophotometric determination of vanadium (V) based on the Celestine blue-bromate-vanadium (V)-citric acid reaction

A novel sensitive and relatively selective kinetic method is presented for the determination of V（V） based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation reaction of Celestine blue by potassium bromate in the presence of citric acid as an activator. The reaction was monitored spectropho- tometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of Celestine blue at a maximum absorption wavelength of 540 nm between 0.5 and 9 min （the fixed-time method） in an H3PO4 medium at 45℃. The effect of various parameters such as concentrations of H3PO4, citric acid, potassium bromate and Celestine blue, ionic strength, reaction temperature and time on the rate of V（V） catalyzed reaction was studied. The method is free from the most interferences, especially from large amounts of V（IV）. The decrease in absorbance is proportional to the concentration of V（V） over the entire concentration range tested （0.025-1.25 lag.mL^-1） with a detection limit of 6.80 tag.L^-1 （according to statistical 3Sblank/k criterion） and a coefficient of variation （CV） of 1.78% （for ten replicate measurements at 95% confidence level）. The proposed method suffers from a few interferences such as Cr（VI） and Hg（Ⅱ） ions. The method was successfully applied to the determination of V（V） in river water, lake water, tap water, natural drinking water samples and a certified standard reference material such as SRM-1640 with satis- factory results. The vanadium contents of natural water samples were detected by using both linear calibration curve and standard addition curve methods. The recoveries of spiked vanadium （V） into the certified standard water sample were found to be quantitative, and the reproducibility was satisfactory. It was observed that the results of the SRM 1640 were in good agreement with the certified value.

A kinetic procedure for determination of trace silver was established based on the catalytic effect of Ag(Ⅰ) on the ligand substitution reaction between hexacyanoferrate (Ⅱ) and urea in acidic medium under the optimized conditions of [hexacyanoferrate]=8.0×10 -4 mol·L -1 , [CO(NH 2) 2]=6.0×10 -4 mol·L -1 , [CH 3COOH]=0.12 mol·L -1 , 80℃, 720 nm. The calibration curve is linear for 10～100 ng·ml -1 , and the detection limit is 0.4 ng·ml -1 Ag. The active energy of catalytic reaction is 18.12 kJ·mol -1 . The selectivity of this procedure is much better than that of other kinetic methods. Equal amount of mercury does not interfere with the determination of silver, and its sensitivity was also improved.
