On the contrary, the highest global molecular electronegativity is foundat the centers of channel segments. Al substitution slightly increases the molecular dipole moment,but hardly affects the molecular electronegativity. Broensted acidic proton decreases the dipolemoment of guest molecule, but increases the molecular elec-tronegativity.展开更多

The physicochemical features of SAP were characterized by XRD, XRF, BET, SEM and FT-IR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption techniques. The results indicated that incorporation of phosphorus (P) into aluminasilica system altered the basic textural characteristics of aluminasilica. Especially after hydrothermal treatment, the material with large special surface area (up to 492 m2/g) exhibited a good performance on hydrothermal stability. Moreover, the phosphorus modifier can not only increase the amount of Br/"{o}nsted acidic sites (up to 48.44 μmol/g) and the percentage of weak acidic sites in total acidic sites, but also regulate the acid type, such as the ratio of B/L (Lewis acid/Br?nsted acid) increased to 1.15. The performances of samples as matrices for the catalytic cracking of heavy VGO were investigated. At 520 ℃, the catalysts showed much higher gasoline and diesel oil yields achieving to 45.59 wt% and 19.20 wt%, respectively, and lower coke selectivity (2.86%) than conventional FCC matrices, such as kaolin and amorphous silica-alumina.展开更多

The aim of this work was to investigate how the acid sites concentration, strength, distribution and typology(Br?nsted and Lewis) affect methanol conversion, DME selectivity and coke formation. It was found that the aluminium content affects slightly acid sites strength whilst a relevant effect on acid sites concentration and distribution(Br?nsted/Lewis) was observed as 24% of Lewis sites were found on Alrichest samples, whilst less than 10% of Lewis acid sites were observed on FER at higher Si/Al ratio. All the investigated catalyst samples showed a selectivity toward DME always greater than 0.9 and samples with the lowest Si/Al ratio exhibit the best performances in terms of methanol conversion, approaching the theoretical equilibrium value(around 0.85) at temperatures below 200 °C. Turnover-frequency analysis suggests that this result seems to be related not only to the higher amount of acid sites but also that the presence of Lewis acid sites may play a significant role in converting methanol. On the other hand, the presence of Lewis acid sites, combined with a high acidity, promote the formation of by-products(mainly methane) and coke deposition during the reaction. As final evidence, all the investigated catalysts exhibit very high resistance to deactivation by coke deposition, over 60 h continuous test, and a GC–MS analysis of the coke deposited on the catalyst surface reveals tetra-methyl benzene as main component.展开更多

Then methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction was investigated over the above as-prepared catalysts and the dissoluble coke on these used catalysts was analyzed by GC-MS, to study the role of the external surface of HZSM-5 in the catalytic reaction. Comparison with the experi- mental results based on parent ZSM-5 showed that the product distribution of MTH reaction was obviously influenced by the external surface. Evidences were listed as follows: (1) the final product on parent HZSM-5 showed higher aromatic selectivity, lower olefin selectivity, lower ra- tio of C2/C3+ aliphatics and higher ratio of C3/C4+ aliphatics than the reaction mixture produced by the sole catalysis of acidic sites in HZSM-5 channel; (2) a little of pentamethylbenzene and hexamethylbenzene in the product on parent HZSM-5, was produced via multi-methylation of methylbenzene on the external surface. The above conclusion may also be suitable for MTH reaction over other zeolites with 10-ring channel.展开更多

Their physicochemical properties were characterized using XRD,SEM, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, Py-IR, NH;-TPD, EDS, and;Al,;P,;Si MAS NMR techniques. The catalytic performance was assessed in the hydroisomerization of n-octane. The results showed that the silicon precursors influenced the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of SAPO-11. SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor showed higher silicon distribution and had more medium acid sites. SAPO-11 synthesized using TEOS as silicon precursor had more silicon content, but more silicon islands formed in its framework. The depolymerization of silicon precursors might affect the silicon content and distribution in SAPO-11. In the hydroisomerization of n-octane, the catalytic activity strongly depended on the number of medium acid sites instead of the number of total acid sites.SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor exhibited higher catalytic activity than the other samples because it has more medium acid sites.展开更多

TS-1 catalyst, as a heterogeneous catalyst, showed excellent selectivity of diphenyl oxalate and methylphenyl oxalate compared with other homogeneous catalysts. Lewis acid sites on TS-1 catalyst were the active sites for transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol. The high selectivity was closely related to the weak acid sites over TS-1.展开更多

Ir-HZSM-5 was prepared by impregnation method and subjected to isomerization process in the presence of flowing hydrogen gas. XRD and BET studies show that the presence of iridium stabilizes the crystalline structure of HZSM-5, leading to more ordered framework structure and larger surface area. TGA and FTIR results substantiate that iridium species interacts with OH group on the surface of HZSM-5. Pyridine FT-IR study verifies the interaction between iridium and surface OH group slightly increased the Bro¨nsted and Lewis acid sites without changing the lattice structure of HZSM-5. The presence of iridium and the increase of strong Lewis acid sites on HZSM-5 were found to bring an increase about 4.1%, 33.2% and 11.8% in conversion, selectivity and yield of n-heptane isomerization, respectively.展开更多

The catalyst was prepared by impregnation of Zr(OH)4 with H2SO4 and platinum solution followed by calcination at 600 ℃. Ammonia TPD and FT-IR were used to confirm the distribution of acid sites and the structure of the sulfate species. Nitrogen physisorption and X-ray diffraction were used to confirm the physical structures of Pt/SO4^2-ZrO2. XRD pattern showed that the presence of sulfate ion stabilized the metastable tetragonal phase of zirconia and hindered the transition of amorphous phase to monoclinic phase of zirconia. Ammonia TPD profiles indicated the distributions of weak and medium acid sites observed on 0.1 N and 1.0 N sulfate in the loaded catalysts. The addition of 2.0 N and 4.0 N sulfate ion generated strong acid site and decreased the weak and medium acid sites. However, the XRD results and the specific surface area of the catalysts indicated that the excessive amount of sulfate ion collapsed the structure of the catalyst. The catalysts showed high activity and stability for isomerization of n-butane to iso-butane at 200 ℃ under hydrogen atmosphere. The conversion of n-butane to iso-butane per specific surface area of the catalyst increased with the increasing amount of sulfate ion owing to the existence of the bidentate sulfate and/or polynucleic sulfate species ((ZrO)2SO2), which acts as an active site for the isomerization.展开更多

An increase in the Ni loading decreased the crystallinity, specific surface area and meso-micropores of the catalysts. Ni interacted with hydroxyl groups to produce IR absorption bands at 3740-3500 cm-1, Increasing Ni loadings resulted in a decrease in the intensities of the broad bands at 3730-3500 cm-1 and the sharp band at 3740 cm-1 with simultaneous development of new absorbance band at 3700 cm-1 that was attributed to (-OH)Ni. The acidity of the samples did not significantly change with Ni loadings up to 1.0 wt%, which indicated that Ni mostly interacts with non-acidic silanol groups (terminal- and structural-defect OH groups). The presence of Ni decreased the activity of PtHY toward the isomerization of n-pentane because of a decrease in the number of active protonic-acid sites that formed from molecular hydrogen. IR and ESR studies confirmed that Pt facilitated the formation of protonic-acid sites from molecular hydrogen, whereas Ni, even when combined with Pt, didn't exhibit such ability. The absence of protonic-acid sites from molecular hydrogen significantly decreased the yield of iso-pentane and markedly increased the cracking products.展开更多

文摘Industrial propane dehydrogenation(PDH)catalysts generally suffer from low catalytic stability due to the coke formation onto the catalyst surface to cover the active sites.The exploitation of an efficient catalyst with both high catalytic selectivity and long-term stability toward PDH is of great importance but challenging to make.Herein CrOx supported on high-silica HZSM-5 with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 260(Cr/Z-5(260)is synthesized by a simple wet impregnation method,which exhibits high catalytic activity,good selectivity and excellent stability for PDH.At a weight hourly space velocity(WHSV)of 0.59 h-1,a propylene formation rate of 4.1 mmol g-1cath-1(~32.6% propane conversion and ~94.2% propylene selectivity)can be maintained over the 5%Cr/Z-5(260)catalyst after 50 h time on stream,which is much better than commercial Cr/Al2O3(Catofin process,catalyst life is several hours)at the same reaction conditions.With increasing the WHSV to 5.9 h-1,a high propylene formation rate of 27.9 mmol gcat-1h-1can be obtained over the 5%Cr/Z-5(260)catalyst after 50 h time on stream,demonstrating a very promising PDH catalyst.Characterization results and Na+doping experiments reveal that the Cr species combined with Br?nsted acid sites in Cr/HZSM-5 catalysts are responsible for the high catalytic performance.In particular,the Br?nsted acid sites in HZSM-5 zeolite could increase the propane adsorption and enhance the C–H bond activation.Furthermore,the high surface area and well-defined pores of HZSM-5 zeolite can provide a special environment for the dispersion and stabilization of Cr species,thus guaranteeing high catalytic activity and stability.

文摘Diphenyl oxalate was synthesized from transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol over TS-1 ( 2.5 wt% Ti ) catalyst. TS-1 catalyst, as a heterogeneous catalyst, showed excellent selectivity of diphenyl oxalate and methylphenyl oxalate compared with other homogeneous catalysts. Lewis acid sites on TS-1 catalyst were the active sites for transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol. The high selectivity was closely related to the weak acid sites over TS-1.

文摘A series of Ag-ZrO_(2)/SiO_(2) catalysts with different metal-support interfaces were synthesized in an effort to elucidate the roles of specific interfaces in controlling the ethanol to 1,3-butadiene conversion and selectivity.According to the results of detailed characterizations(e.g.CO/pyridine-DRIFTS,XPS,TEM,NH3-TPD,and ^(1)H MAS NMR),it was found that the Ag-O-Si interfaces significantly enhanced the dehydrogenation of ethanol while the presence of ZrO_(2) improved the interaction between Ag and ZrO_(2)/SiO_(2),creating more Ag^(δ+)active sites.The high dispersion of ZrO_(2) on SiO_(2) generated abundant Zr-O-Si interfaces with medium and weak Lewis acidity,promoting the condensation of acetaldehyde to crotonaldehyde.These Zr-O-Si interfaces in close interaction with Ag^(δ+)species played a critical role in the enhanced H transfer during the MPV reduction of crotonaldehyde to crotyl alcohol.The synergies among the interfaces resulted in retarded ethanol dehydration reactivity,balanced ethanol dehydrogenation and condensation reactions,and a subsequent high 1,3-butadiene yield.

文摘The effect of iridium loading on the properties and catalytic isomerization of n-heptane over Ir-HZSM-5 is studied. Ir-HZSM-5 was prepared by impregnation method and subjected to isomerization process in the presence of flowing hydrogen gas. XRD and BET studies show that the presence of iridium stabilizes the crystalline structure of HZSM-5, leading to more ordered framework structure and larger surface area. TGA and FTIR results substantiate that iridium species interacts with OH group on the surface of HZSM-5. Pyridine FT-IR study verifies the interaction between iridium and surface OH group slightly increased the Bro¨nsted and Lewis acid sites without changing the lattice structure of HZSM-5. The presence of iridium and the increase of strong Lewis acid sites on HZSM-5 were found to bring an increase about 4.1%, 33.2% and 11.8% in conversion, selectivity and yield of n-heptane isomerization, respectively.

文摘Solid-state NMR(ssNMR)spectroscopy is a powerful technique for characterizing the surface sites of solid acids and organic intermediates formed during the acid catalyzed reaction.As a very useful probe molecule,ammonia is often utilized to determine the density of solidacids’surface sites by ssNMR spectroscopy.The present mini-review summarizes some of the latest research developments on the quantitative characterization of the acid sites and carbenium ions during the zeolite catalytic reaction by ammonia probe-assisted ssNMR spectroscopy.
文摘The effect of sulfate ion (SO4^2-) loading on the properties of Pt/SO4^2-ZrO2 and on the catalytic isomerization of n-butane to/so-butane was studied. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation of Zr(OH)4 with H2SO4 and platinum solution followed by calcination at 600 ℃. Ammonia TPD and FT-IR were used to confirm the distribution of acid sites and the structure of the sulfate species. Nitrogen physisorption and X-ray diffraction were used to confirm the physical structures of Pt/SO4^2-ZrO2. XRD pattern showed that the presence of sulfate ion stabilized the metastable tetragonal phase of zirconia and hindered the transition of amorphous phase to monoclinic phase of zirconia. Ammonia TPD profiles indicated the distributions of weak and medium acid sites observed on 0.1 N and 1.0 N sulfate in the loaded catalysts. The addition of 2.0 N and 4.0 N sulfate ion generated strong acid site and decreased the weak and medium acid sites. However, the XRD results and the specific surface area of the catalysts indicated that the excessive amount of sulfate ion collapsed the structure of the catalyst. The catalysts showed high activity and stability for isomerization of n-butane to iso-butane at 200 ℃ under hydrogen atmosphere. The conversion of n-butane to iso-butane per specific surface area of the catalyst increased with the increasing amount of sulfate ion owing to the existence of the bidentate sulfate and/or polynucleic sulfate species ((ZrO)2SO2), which acts as an active site for the isomerization.

文摘Ni/PtHY with different Ni loadings was prepared by impregnating HY with hexachloroplatinic acid solution and Ni2+/N,N-dimethylformamide solution. An increase in the Ni loading decreased the crystallinity, specific surface area and meso-micropores of the catalysts. Ni interacted with hydroxyl groups to produce IR absorption bands at 3740-3500 cm-1, Increasing Ni loadings resulted in a decrease in the intensities of the broad bands at 3730-3500 cm-1 and the sharp band at 3740 cm-1 with simultaneous development of new absorbance band at 3700 cm-1 that was attributed to (-OH)Ni. The acidity of the samples did not significantly change with Ni loadings up to 1.0 wt%, which indicated that Ni mostly interacts with non-acidic silanol groups (terminal- and structural-defect OH groups). The presence of Ni decreased the activity of PtHY toward the isomerization of n-pentane because of a decrease in the number of active protonic-acid sites that formed from molecular hydrogen. IR and ESR studies confirmed that Pt facilitated the formation of protonic-acid sites from molecular hydrogen, whereas Ni, even when combined with Pt, didn't exhibit such ability. The absence of protonic-acid sites from molecular hydrogen significantly decreased the yield of iso-pentane and markedly increased the cracking products.

文摘A novel artificial site specific cleavage reagent, with peptide nucleic acid (PNA) as sequence-recognizing moiety and cerium (IV) ions as “scissors” for cleaving target DNA, was synthesized. Subsequently, it was employed in the cleavage of target 26-mer single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), which has 10-mer sequence complementary with PNA recognizer in the hybrids, under physiological conditions. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatogram (RPHPLC) experiments indicated that the artificial site specific cleavage reagent could cleave the target DNA specifically.

文摘Zeolite-based catalyst hydrocracking of plastics is a potential strategy for mitigating the environmental impacts of plastic wastes and recycling valuable resources,but difficult mass transfer,low concentration of acid sites,and high cost are still barriers to their practical applications.In this paper,we report an excellent hydrocracking catalyst of ZSM-5 nanosheets(Ce/b-ZSM-5)modified by Ce species with high conversion up to 96.3%,C_(3)−C_(5)selectivity up to 80.9%,and good stability during the hydrogenation of low-density polyethylene.Through comprehensive studies,b-ZSM-5 shows higher molecular diffusion efficiency and acid site concentrations compared with normal ZSM-5(n-ZSM-5)and hollow ZSM-5(h-ZSM-5).The introduction of Ce species into b-ZSM-5 further increases the density of Brønsted(B)and Lewis(L)acid sites as active sites,which enhances the adsorption of substrates and facilitates the formation of intermediates and desorption of products.As a result,the hydrocracking activity of Ce/b-ZSM-5 is significantly improved.

文摘Ca-type todorokite catalysts were designed and prepared by a simple redox method and applied to the selective reduction of NO_(x) by NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR)for the first time.Compared with the Na-type manjiroite prepared by the same method,the todorokite catalysts with different Mn/Ca ratios showed greatly improved catalytic activity for NO_(x) reduction.Among them,Mn8Ca4 catalyst exhibited the best NH_(3)-SCR performance,achieving 90%NO_(x) conversion within temperature range of 70-275℃ and having a high sulphur resistance.Compared to the Na-type manjiroite sample,Ca-type todorokite catalysts possessed an increased size of tunnel,resulting in a larger specific surface area.As increased the amounts of Ca doping,the Na content in Ca-type todorokite catalysts significantly decreased,providing larger amounts of Bronsted acid sites for NH_(3) adsorption to produce NH_(4)^(+).The NH_(4)^(+)species were highly active for reaction with NO+O_(2),playing a determining role in NH_(3)-SCR process at low temperatures.Meanwhile,larger amounts of surface adsorbed oxygen contained over the Ca-doping samples than that over Na-type manjiroite,promoting the oxidation of NO and fast SCR processes.Over the Ca-type todorokite catalysts,furthermore,nitrates produced during the flow of NO+O_(2),were more active for reaction with NH_(3) than that over Na-type manjiroite,benefiting the occurrence of NH_(3)-SCR process.This study provides novel insights into the design of NH_(3)-SCR catalysts with high performance.

文摘Nickel and sulfate co-modified CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by sol-gel method. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, NH3 chemisorption and NH3-SCR activity tests. The results showed that the enhanced acidity of CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts by nickel and sulfate co-modification was responsible for the broadened temperature window and improved the selectivity to N2 in NH3-SCR deNOx. The introduction of nickel to CeO2-ZrO2 solid solutions resulted in more Ce3+ on surface of catalyst, leading to an in...

文摘Hollow silica-alumina composite spheres were prepared by a polystyrene(PS)template method using various amounts of PS suspension.Homogeneous hollow spheres prepared using 40 g were found to be with a diameter of about 300 nm in scanning electron microscopy,and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated their hollow sphere morphology.From the nitrogen adsorption isotherm results,the homogeneous hollow spheres prepared using 40 g of the PS suspension were found to be an ordered pore structure.The activities of the hollow spheres prepared using various amounts of the PS suspension for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane were compared.The results showed that 10,7,and 6 mL of hydrogen were evolved from the aqueous ammonia borane solution in about 40 min in the presence of the hollow spheres prepared using 40,80,and 120 g of PS suspension,respectively.The homogeneous hollow spheres with an ordered pore structure showed the highest activity among all the hollow spheres.The amount of acid sites and the coordination number of aluminum active species were characterized using neutralization titration and solid-state ^(27)Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.The homogeneous hollow spheres with an ordered pore structure had high amount of acid sites and 4-coordinated aluminum species.The relative proportion of 4-coordinated aluminum species was related to the dispersion of aluminum species.These results indicate that the homogeneous hollow spheres with an ordered pore structure showed the high activity because of high amount of acid sites induced by the highly dispersed aluminum species.
