Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X ray diffraction techniques. The crystal belongs to monoclinic with space group P21/c. The cell parameters are: a=0.82510(11)nm, b=0.68870(9)nm, c=2.3007(3)nm, β =100.847(2)° , V=1.2840(3)nm3, Z=2, Dc=1.742Mg· m- 3, μ (MoKα )=1.723mm- 1, F(000)=684.

It was found that base sites were harmful for aldol condensation due to their failure in catalyzing the decomposition of dimethoxymethane precursor into formaldehyde, whereas the acid site was indispensable for the reaction to proceed. This reaction cannot take place without an acid site. Although acid sites in H‐form of the zeolite(HZSM‐35) are indispensable for the aldol condensation reaction, not all of them tend to favor this reaction. A strong acid catalyzes methanol‐to‐olefin‐like reactions resulting in hydrocarbon byproducts, which are finally transferred to hard coke. Medium strong acids and weak acids are great candidates for the target aldol condensation reaction with high activity and selectivity. A γ‐Al2O3 sample with abundant weak‐strength Lewis acid sites, together with a few medium‐strong‐strength acid sites, performs well with a high activity and considerable stability during the synthesis of methyl acrylate and acrylic acid.展开更多

With the HDPA-Fe2 O3/Al2 O3 as the basic catalyst, a series of transition metals, such as Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Cr, Mo, V, and Ti, was respectively doped to the basic catalyst to modify the performance of the catalytic system, in expectation of influencing the mobility of the lattice oxygen species in the oxide catalysts. Under normally working conditions of the catalytic system, the nanoparticles of catalysts located themselves at the interface between the oil and water phases, constituting the Pickering emulsion. Both the doped iron oxide and its surface adsorbed hexadecylphosphate molecules were essential to the catalytic system for excellent performances with high toluene conversions as well as the exclusive selectivity to benzaldehyde. Under optimal conditions, ~83% of toluene conversion and >99% selectivity to benzaldehyde were obtained, using molecular oxygen as oxidant and HDPA-(Fe2 O3-Ni O)/Al2 O3 as the catalyst. This process is green and low cost to produce high quality benzaldehyde from O2 oxidation of toluene.展开更多

While Mo and V both yield high selectivity to formaldehyde, Nb does not. Very different reactivity patterns are seen for Nb, which mainly shows dehydrogenation (to CO) and dehydration (to DME), indicating the lack of a complete shell, while Raman spectroscopy shows that the Mo and V formation process is not followed by NbOx. We suggest this is due to the large differences in mobility within the solid materials during formation, NbOx requiring significantly higher (and deleterious) calcination temperatures to allow sufficient mobility for shell completion.展开更多

The results showed that the oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid was severely inhibited when carbon dioxide exceeded a certain amount, the conversion of p-xylene decreased rapidly from 100.0% to 3.3% and the yield of terephthalic acid dropped from 42.6% to trace. Whereas the oxidation processes of p-Tolualdchyde to p-Toluic acid and 4-Carboxybenzaldehyde to tcrcphthalic acid were improved when a relative small amount of CO2 v/as added, Further investigation found that this negative effect may be caused by multiphase reactions emerging.展开更多
