Silica was shown to have a great effect on membrane fouling in the alkaline environment of this system. In the ammoximation system, there are three main silica sources, which are residual silica on the catalyst particles surface during preparation, silica dissolved from TS-1 catalyst particles by ammonia solvent, and silica sol added into the reaction slurry to inhibit the dissolution erosion of the TS-1 catalyst. The silica dissolved by ammonia has been proved to influence membrane fouling most among the three silica sources. This was because the amount of silica dissolved by ammonia was the largest, and the polymerization of silica monomers at high concentration caused colloid particles formation, which led to a dense cake layer depositing on the membrane surface. Meanwhile, the size reduction of catalyst particles caused by alkaline dissolution also increased specific resistances of cake layers.展开更多

A continuous reaction process was carried out under the obtained optimum operation conditions. Results showed that the system can be continuously and stably operated over 20 h, and the benzene conversion and phenol selectivity kept at about 4% and 91%, respectively. The ceramic membrane exhibits excellent thermal and chemical stability in the continuous reaction process.展开更多

Based on the developed model, the theoretical phenol Conversions at steady state could be calculated using the kinetic parameters obtained from the previous batch experiments. The theoretical conversions are in good agreement with the experimental data obtained in the submerged catalysis/MF system within relative error of ±5%. The model can be used to determine the optimal experimental conditions to carry out the phenol hydroxylation over TS-1 in the submerged catalysis/MF system.展开更多

Study results have revealed that the cyclohexane conversion was 27%after the reaction proceeded at 100℃ for 2 hours at a cyclohexane/H_2O_2 molar ratio of 0.8. Thecyclohexanol/cyclohexanone molar ratio was 1.3 along with a certain amount of organic acids andesters, the formation of which was closely associated with the oxidation of reaction solvent anddeep oxidation of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol contained in the reaction products. With respect tothe catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane/H_2O_2 system the selection of appropriate solvent wascritically important.展开更多

The research results revealed that at the initial stage of crystallization the interactions between silica gel and titania gel in the polymer blend could gradually lead to the formation of tiny crystal nuclei with complicated structure that could slowly grow up to form molecular sieves. Quite different from the conventional zeolites that use the acid sites as the catalytically active centers, the oxidative reactivity of the titanium silicalite zeolite was not proportional to its crystallinity and is associated with the oxidative centers of titanium contained in the zeolite.展开更多
