Oxygen-doped and nitrogen-doped activated carbons were prepared and characterized by XPS, TPD and N2 physisorption methods. The influences of the surface functional groups on the catalytic performance were discussed base on these results. Among all the samples tested, a nitrogen-doped sample, AC-n-US00, exhibited the best performance, the acety- lene conversion being 92% and vinyl chloride selectivity above 99% at 240 ~C and C2H2 hourly space velocity 30 h- 1. Moreover, the AC-n-US00 catalyst exhibited a stable performance during a 200 h test with a conversion of acetylene higher than 76% at 210 ~C at a C2H2 hourly space velocity 50 h 1. In contrary, oxygen-doped catalyst had lower catalytic activities. A linear relationship between the amount of pyrrolic-N and quaternary-N species and the catalytic activity was observed, indicating that these nitrogen-doped species might be the active sites and the key in tuning the catalytic performance. It is also found that the introduction of nitrogen species into the sample could significantly increase the adsorption amount of acetylene. The deactivation of nitrogen- doped activated carbon might be caused by the decrease of the accessibility to or the total amount of active sites.展开更多

A focus is on hydrogenation of aromatic compounds, whereas the following processes are evaluated: (l) partial hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene; (2) hydrogenation of aniline; (3) hydrogenation of diphenylamine; (4) preparation of aniline from nitrobenzene; (5) hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzenes; (6) hydrogenation of 4-nitrosodiphenylamine and 4-nitrodiphenylamine mixture. Processes (1) and (6) are typically carried out in the water-oil system. Generally, this type of system allows reaching a higher selectivity to desired products. In the case of hydrogenation of 4-nitrosodiphenylamine and 4-nitrodiphenylamine mixture, the water phase extracts a water soluble catalyst; which is recycled and used for condensation of aniline and nitrobenzene. Problems of reaction kinetics, as well as catalysts deactivation are here discussed.展开更多
