The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reactions of ethane and propane were investigated in a catalytic membrane reactor, incorporating oxygen-permeable membranes based upon La2Ni0.9V0.1O4+δor Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-...The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reactions of ethane and propane were investigated in a catalytic membrane reactor, incorporating oxygen-permeable membranes based upon La2Ni0.9V0.1O4+δor Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ. As a compromise between the occurrence of a measureable oxygen flux and excessive homogenous gas phase reactions, the measurements were conducted at an intermediate temperature, either at 550 or 650 oC. The results show the dominating role of the oxygen flux across the membrane and available sites at the membrane surface in primary activation of the alkane and, hence, in achieving high alkane conversions. The experimental data of ODH of propane and ethane on both membrane materials can be reconciled on the basis of Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, in which the alkane reacts with lattice oxygen on the membrane surface to produce the corresponding olefin. It is further demonstrated that the oxygen concentration in the gas phase and on the membrane surface is crucial for determining the olefin selectivity.展开更多

The model was validated by comparison with several experi-mental findings, thus providing an effective tool for the primary and promoted SNCR process simulation. Experimental and simulated results show part-per-million level of sodium carbonate enhances NO removal efficiency andextend the effective SNCR temperature range in comparison with use of a nitrogen agent alone. The kinetic modeling, sensitivity and rate-of-production analysis suggest that the performance improvement can be explained as ho-mogeneous sodium species reactions producing more reactive OH radicals. The net result of sodium species reac-tions is conversion of H2O and inactive HO2 radicals into reactive OH radicals, i.e. H2O+HO2=3OH, which enhances the SNCR performance of nitrogen agents by mainly increasing the production rate of NH2 radicals. More-over, N2O and CO are eliminated diversely via the reactions Na+N20=NaO+N2, NaO+CO=Na+CO2 andNaO2+CO =NaO+CO2, in.the pro.moted SNCR process, especially in the NOxOUT process.展开更多

The influence ofthree active species was studied, including performic acid(PFA) generated in formic acid, peracetic acid(PAA) generated in acetic acid, and trifluoroperacetic(TFPA) acid generated in trifluoroacetic acid. The effects ofsulfuric acid and sodium formate addition were investigated, the overoxidation ofTMB was discussed, and the main reason for the decreasing selectivity was revealed. The oxidation ofTMB can be controlled and improved through adjusting the reaction temperature, mole ratio ofoxidant to substrate, and reactant concentration. The TMBQ yield of28% was achieved with a TMB concentration of0.2 mol/L, H2O2/TMB mole ratio of6:1, and reaction temperature 37 ℃. The selectivity of72% was obtained with a TMB concentration of0.2 mol/L, H2O2/TMB mole ratio of5:1, and reaction temperature of27 ℃. The reaction mechanisms were proposed and discussed based on the gas chromatography–flame ionization detection(GC–FID) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometer(GC–MS) results.展开更多
