A series of Catalyst used in this reaCtion have been prepared and evaluated. The influence of trivared carbon supporters, alkaline metal Promoters and operation conditions on DMC opthesis reaction has been discussed. Under the conditions of 130℃, CO/O2=1 .96, SV=3340h-1, the space-time yield (STY) of DMC over PdCl2-CuCl2-CH3COOK/ac. catalyst is 217g/l-cat h,which is higher than what is published in the literatUre so far.展开更多

A series of Mo catalysts supported on activated carbon, γ-Al_2O_3 and SiO_2were prepared. The results show that the support greatly affects the Mo catalyst in the directvapor-phase carbonylation of methanol, and activated carbon is the best supports of the investigatedsupports. In addition, the relationships between adsorptions of NH_3 and CO and carbonylation ofmethanol were investigated. A novel sulfided Mo/C catalyst had high activity and selectivity for thevapor phase carbonylation of methanol to methyl acetate without the addition of a CH_3I promoter tothe feed. The reaction conditions were optimized at a reaction temperature of 573 K, a methanolconcentration of 23 mol% and a carbon monoxide space velocity of 3,000 L/(kg·h). Under theseoptimal conditions a methanol conversion of 50%, carbonylation selectivity of 80 rnol%, andspace-time yield of 8.0 mol/(kg·h) were obtained. The active phase of this novel sulfided Mo/Ccatalyst is the non-crystalline phase, and the active component is present as MoS_(2.5) on thesurface of the activated carbon.展开更多

Kinetic parameters such as the apparent reaction orders, the rate constant and the apparent activation energies were obtained. The experimental results showed that both the reaction orders with respect to CO and methanol equal to 1, the general reaction kinetic equation is (-r)=-dp(CO)/dt=k, p(CO).[MeOH], and the rate constant is k=8.82×10~6exp [-61.19×10~3/(R·T)] in the presence of pyridine. The apparent activation energies had decreased 6.44 kJ/mol and the rate constant had increased more than 1.5 times when pyridine was used as the promoter in the catalyst system.展开更多

Cu^+ exchanged with Br?nsted acid sites are supposed to be active for this reaction. However, the location of Cu^+ in small cages can not interact with reactants because of steric hindrance, which lead to a waste of Cu species. In this work, NH_4F solution was used to modify the pore structure of zeolite Y by etching the framework T atoms. Physical and chemical adsorption of probe molecules with different size are used to determine the changes of porosity as well as the accessibility of Cu^+ sites. At an optimized etching time, the small cages were opened with maintained zeolitic framework. As a result, more Cu^+ species located in small cages become accessible to reactants, which contributes to the enhanced activity in this reaction.展开更多

The CuOx/AC as prepared exhibited an enhanced catalytic activity in oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate（DMC）. The catalytic performance was significantly influenced by reduction conditions including temperature and time. With the similar selectivity of DMC, the space time yield（STY） under optimal reduction conditions reached up to 408 mg g^-1h^-1, which is superior to conventional methods such as thermolysis and solvothermal reduction. Based on the characterization results of XRD, TEM and XPS, the good copper dispersion and high Cu^＋ content obtained by vapor-phase methanol reduction were mainly responsible for the high catalytic activity.展开更多

Through IRC analyses of the transition states for each elemental reaction, it is confirmed that the various structure geometries obtained are stationary points on the cycle reaction pathway of methanol carbonylation catalyzed by Rh complex, and the changes are given in energies and structure geometries of the reactant molecules along the reaction pathway of lowest energy. It has been proposed that the geometrical conversions of intermediates play an important role during the cycle reaction. Through analyses of structure geometries, it has been suggested that, in addition to cis- and trans- structure exchange linkage of catalysis reactive species, the two pathways, cis- and trans-cata- lyzed cycle reactions, can also be linked through geometrical conversion of intermediates, of which the activation energy is 49.79 kJ/mol. Moreover, the reductive elimination elemental reaction may be neither cis-cycle nor trans- one, showing that the cycle reaction can be achieved through various pathways. However different the pathway, the oxidative addition elemental reaction of CH3I is the rate-controlling step.展开更多
