When TiCl_4/(Mg(OEt)_2/EB) (mol.) ratio was increased, decrease in contents of-OEt and Ti of the catalysts was observed, while the content of EB increased. It is proved by analyses of IR, X-ray and XPS that during co-milling Mg(OEt)_2 with EB no reactions have taken place. But after treatment with TiCl_4 solution, Mg(OEt)_2 converts into MgCl_2 and EB coordinates on the resulting MgCl_2 carrier, a surface complex forms.The activity of catalysts,isotacticity and vicosimetric molecular weight of polypropylene increase with the decrease of the content of ethoxyl group. The kinetic curves of propene polymerization obtained with present catalysts system display decay curves. It is found from the triad tacticity calculated from the expanded spectra of methyl carbon region that, ethoxyl group in catalyst has an effect on the configuration of polymer chain.展开更多

The method strongly affected the structure of their layers(e.g., the growth and stacking of the layers, and the type of intercalated anions) and, accordingly, their catalytic activity. The Mg-Al hydrotalcite prepared by co-precipitation showed the best catalytic performance in the isomerization of glucose into fructose, due to the small crystallite size and sand rose morphology enhancing the exposure of surface active sites to reactants.展开更多

The effects of Mn addition on the carbon yield and structure are investigated. The catalysts are characterized by temperature programmed reduction（TPR） and X-ray diffraction（XRD） techniques, and the synthesized carbon materials are characterized by transmission electron microscopy（TEM） and thermo gravimetric analysis（TG）. TEM measurement indicates that the catalyst Co Mg O enclosed completely in the produced graphite layer results in the deactivation of the catalyst. TG results suggest that the Co Mn Mg O catalyst has a higher selectivity for CNTs than Co Mg O. Meanwhile, different diameters of CNTs are synthesized by Co Mn Mg O catalysts with various amounts of Co content, and the results show that the addition of Mn avoids forming the enclosed catalyst, prevents the formation of amorphous carbon, subsequently promotes the growth of CNTs, and the catalyst with decreased Co content is favorable for the synthesis of CNTs with a narrow diameter distribution.The Co Mn Mg O catalyst with 40% Co content has superior catalytic activity for the growth of carbon nanotubes.展开更多
