The waste catalyst washed with 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 regained the best catalytic activity. When a concentration of the sulfuric acid is less than 0.5 mol/L, sufficient cleaning effects cannot be obtained. In contrast, when the concentration is greater than 1.0 tool/L, the active components, vanadium and tungsten are undesirably eluted. The total BET surface of the catalyst regenerated by air lift loop reactor showed almost the same as that of fresh catalyst due to the removal of insoluble compounds which may be penetrated into pores of catalyst. The addition of a solution of 0.075 mol/L ammonium vanadate (NHnVO3) and 0.075 mol/L ammonium paratungstate (5(NH4)20· 12WO3-5H20) to 0.1 mol/L H2SO4 significantly increases the activity of the waste catalyst.展开更多

The catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and M6ssbauer effect spectroscopy (MES) techniques. As revealed by N2 physisorption, Zr decreased the BET surface area and pore volume of the catalyst. The results of TPR and MES show that Zr suppresses the reduction and carburization of Fe catalysts because of the interaction between Fe and Zr. The FTS reaction results indicate that Zr decreases the FTS activity of Fe catalysts but improves the catalysts' stability. In addition, Zr promoter restraines the formation of light hydrocarbons (methane and C2-C4) and shifts the production distribution to the heavy hydrocarbons.展开更多

Characterizations of the catalysts by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),NH3-TPD(temperature programmed desorption),SEM(scanning electron micrograph),N2 adsorption-desorption,XRD(X-ray diffraction)and XRF (X-ray fluorescence),were carried out to understand the structure and discuss the aromatization performance of La/Zn/HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst.展开更多

The performances of these catalysts for propane dehydrogenation were investigated. The test results indicated that the addition of Ga not only could improve the catalytic stability and propene selectivity, but also could effectively prevent the catalysts from coking. It was found that the PtSnNaGa(0.5 m%)/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited the best performance in terms of propene selectivity and propane conversion. The high catalytic performance was most probably attributed to the presence of Ga that could strength- en the interaction between metals and the support to stabilize the catalytic active sites.展开更多

Molecular modeling studies showed that vanadium with low Oxnum could affect the chemical conversion of large-size hydrocarbon molecules. However, the vanadium deposited on equilibrium catalyst bad high Oxnum because of the oxidation reaction taking place in the regenerator, so an activation method to reduce vanadium Oxnum named "selective activation" was introduced. It was proved by means of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR) methods that the vanadium Oxnum was decreased, when the catalyst was activated. The molecular modeling studies are consistent well with the lab evaluation results. The light olefins selectivity of activated equilibrium catalysts was better than that achieved by the inactivated catalysts. Similar results were observed with the lab vanadium-contaminated catalyst. The light olefins selectivity of the catalyst was optimized when the vanadium Oxnum was close to 2 (VO).展开更多

The characterized acid amount of catalyst increased with the basicity of adsorbates. With increase of the activation temperature of catalyst, the acid amount characterized by NHa-TPD decreased, however, it increased when characterized by TPD using three other adsorbates. The desorption kinetics of TPD process and the deactivation kinetics of catalyst were investigated. The acidity and catalytic per- formance of catalyst was also correlated. The results showed that the acid amount and strength are well correlated with the activity and stability using NH3 as adsorbate, respectively, which indicated NH3 was a better basic adsorbate. It was also found that the catalyst with higher acid amount and lower acid strength on the surface exhibited the better catalytic performance and stability.展开更多

The physico-chemical properties of the materials were studied. The results of FT-IR analyses indicated that La might be incorporated into the framework of ZSM-5 zeolite. The NH3-TPD analyses showed that the amount of weak acid sites of the zeolite decreased with a continuously increasing La content. Afterwards, the La-ZSM-5 zeolite was used as the support of PtSnNa catalyst for propane dehydrogenation. The test results revealed that the utilization of La- ZSM-5 zeolite could achieve a high propene conversion, and effectively inhibit the coke formation on the catalyst surface. When the content of La was 0.16%, the catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst got the best of its performance. Besides, the PtSnNa/La (0.16%)-ZSM-5 catalyst is more stable than the conventional PtSnNaLal ZSM-5 catalysts.展开更多

Their catalytic performances were evaluated with the liquid-phase tert-butylation of toluene with tert-butyl alcohol in a 100 ml stainless steel batch reactor equipped with a stirrer. HM2 zeolite catalyst, obtained by treating HM in 0.1 mol.L-1 NaOH followed by 0.05 mol·L^-1 NaAlO2 aqueous solution, shows a higher catalytic activity because of its highest acid amount.
