Kinetic studies of methanol synthesis from CO_2+H_2 over copper based catalysts

The catalytic activity for the synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide and hydrogen was measured on various binary and ternary catalysts containing copper oxide under a pressure of 10 atm. Among these samples the catalysts, CuO/ZnO/γ-Al_2O_3, demonstrated the highest activity and selectivity to methanol; MnO, as third component, had no promotional effect on the activity of meth- anol formation. Based on a simple power rate law the apparent activation energy estimation and par- tial pressure dependence measurement were accomplished over eight catalysts. The activation energies varied from 40 to 120 kJ / mol depending on the composition of catalysts. The rates of methanol for- mation to be 0.3 -- 0.9 order in H_2 and about 0.1 -- 0.2 order in CO_2 were reported.

Effect of Fe content on the friction and abrasion properties of copper base overlay on steel substrate by TIG welding

Copper base alloy was overlaid onto 35CrMnSiA steel plate by tungsten inert gas （TIG） welding method. The heat transfer process was simulated, the microstructures of the copper base overlay were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS）, and the friction and abrasion properties of the overlay were measured. The results show that the Fe content increases in the overlay with increasing the welding current. And with the increase of Fe content in the overlay, the friction coefficient increases and the wear mechanism changes from oxidation wear to abrasive wear and plough wear, which is related to the size and quantity of Fe grains in the overlay. While with the increase of Fe content in the overlay, the protection of oxidation layer against the oxidation wear on the melted metal decreases.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Bis(chlorido)-bridged One-dimensional Chain-like Copper(Ⅱ) Polymer

A copper（Ⅱ） complex [LCu2Cl4]n was synthesized by a new bis-Schiff base ligand containing quinoline unit, 1,4-bis[2-（4-fluorophenyl）iminomethyl-8-quinolinoxy]butane（L）. X-ray crystal structure shows that it is a binuclear complex, and the crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1, with a = 9.387（2）, b = 9.968（2）, c = 10.291（2） ？, α = 87.532（3）, β = 63.762（2）, γ = 86.628（3）o, V = 862.1（3） ？^3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.640 Mg/m^3, F（000） = 428, R = 0.0416 and wR = 0.1141. Each Cu（Ⅱ） metal ion coordinates with a quinoline N atom, an imine N atom, an ether oxygen atom and three chlorides, forming a distorted six-coordinated octahedronal structure. Each copper（Ⅱ） complexation unit links with one of the adjacent ligand copper complexation units through the chlorido bridging groups, thus generating an infinite one-dimensional chain structure. Such 1D chains further construct a 2D network structure by π-π stacking interactions.

Dinuclear copper complexes serve as secondary building blocks （SBUs） to construct an unusual 2D coordination network. In the crystal, the components form a stable 3D supramolecular architecture by C-H...O interactions and to-stacking

Transformation of Ethanol to Ethyl Acetate over Cu/SiO2 Catalysts Modified by ZrO2

Direct transformation of ethanol to ethyl acetate was investigated on a series of Cu（ZrO2）/SiO2 catalysts. Inductively coupled plasma（ICP）, surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, H2-temperature programmed reduc- tion（H2-TPR）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）, NH3-temperature programmed desorption（NH3-TPD） and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy（FTIR） techniques were used to characterize the catalysts. The results reveal that ZrO2 can improve the dispersion of copper species and increase the acidity of the Cu（ZrO2）/SiO2 catalysts. The Cu0 is responsible for ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde, and both the Lewis acid and Bronsted acid sites were in favor of the selectivity to ethyl acetate. The synergistic effect of Cu0 and an appropriate amount of acidic sites played an important role in the production of ethyl acetate.
