The catalytic properties of Ti-P-O samples in the vapor-phase O-methylation of catechol with methanol were also studied. The catechol conversion increases with the increase of the molar ratio of P to Ti in a range of 0-0. 33, while a further increase in the P content leads to a decrease of the catalytic activity. Meanwhile, the selectivities of the catalysts to the main product(guaiacol) increase gradually with the increase of the molar ratio of P to Ti. The presence of relatively strong Lewis acidic and/or basic sites in the P-free catalyst should be responsible for the formation of C-alkylation products. The weak acid-base characteristics of the catalysts are favourable for the mono-O-methylation of catechol. In comparison with the Lewis acidic sites, the Bronsted acidic sites on the catalysts are more active for the title reaction.展开更多

The structural features and the surface properties of the three catalysts were determined by means of the physical adsorption of nitrogen at liquid N 2 temperature, XRD, UV-Vis, NH 3-TPD and IR of adsorbed pyridine. The vapor phase O-alkylation of catechol with ethanol over the prepared catalysts was studied. It was found that the activity and the selectivity of these catalysts are greatly dependent on the preparation method, and catalyst APTF shows the highest activity and selectivity. The characterization evidence indicates that the weak Brnsted acid sites were more effective for the reaction.展开更多

Upon all catalysts tested, 4-TBC is the main product and 3-tert-butyl catechol (3-TBC) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl catechol are the side products. The synthetic PMHs showed higher conversion of catechol and better selectivity to 4-TBC compared to other solid acid catalysts tested. Over the PMHs derived from H-exchanged montmorillonite through template extraction processes, the suitable reaction temperature is ca 410 K, the ratio of catechol to tert-butyl alcohol is 1:2. Increasing the amount of catalyst (lower weight hourly space velocity) can improve the conversion of catechol and influence the selectivity slightly. The reasonable reaction time is ca 8 h.The type and strength of acidity of H-montmorillonite and PMH were determined by pyridine adsorption FT-IR and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption techniques. The medium and strong acid sites are conducive to producing 4-TBC and the weak acid sites to facilitating the 3-TBC formation. The differences between the PMHs from calcination and those fi'om extraction are attributed to proton migration and acidity change in the gallery surface.展开更多

It was found that the aminated hypercrosslinked resins had the highest adsorption capacities among the tested polymers. The empirical Freundlich equation was successfully employed to describe the adsorption process. Specific surface area and micropore structure of the adsorbent, in company with tertiary amino groups on matrix affected the adsorption performance towards catechol. In addition, thermodynamic study was carried out to interpret the adsorption mechanism. Kinetic study testified that the tertiary amino groups on the polymer matrix could decrease the adsorption rate and increase the adsorption apparent activation energy.展开更多

It was found that although the charge difference between hydrogen-bonded H and O played a role in determining HIHB, HIHB was mainly governed by the hydrogen bond length. As the oxygen-centered radical has great tendency to form a chemical bond with the H atom, hydrogen bond lengths in catecholic radicals are systematically shorter than those in catechols. Hence, the HIHB for the former are higher than those for the latter.展开更多
