The ligand coordination approach for improving the stability of low-mercury catalyst in the hydrochlorination of acetylene

Mercuric chloride supported on activated carbon(HgCl_2/AC) is used as an industrial catalyst for the hydrochlorination of acetylene. Loss of HgCl_2 by sublimating from the surface of activated carbon causes the irreversible deactivation of mercury catalyst and environmental pollution. In this work, a ligand coordination approach based on the Principle of Hard and Soft Acids and Bases(HSAB) was employed to design more stable lowmercury catalyst. The low-mercury catalysts(4% HgCl_2 loading) were prepared by using HgCl_2 and potassium halides(KX, X = Cl, I) as precursors. The HgCl_2-4KI/AC catalyst showed best catalytic stability than HgCl_2/AC and HgCl_2-4KCl/AC in the hydrochloriantion of acetylene. HgCl_2 could form more stable complex with KI,K_2HgI_4 as the main active component of the HgCl_2-4KI/AC catalyst. The characterizations of XRD and EDX analysis illustrated that the active component of HgCl_2-4KI/AC was highly dispersed on the surface of activated carbon.The sublimation rates of HgCl_2 from the catalysts verified that the active component with larger stability constant had better thermal stability. Using Hg(Ⅱ) complexes with high stability constant as the active component may be the research direction of developing highly stable low-mercury catalyst for the hydrochlorination of acetylene.

Study on Co-Effect of K₂SO₄Deposition and Low Concentration SO₂on Performances of V₂O₅/AC Catalysts for Low Temperature SCR

Simulated compounds were prepared by loading K2SO4 onto V2O5/AC catalysts. Study the effect of K2SO4 on V1/AC catalysts in the presence of low concentration SO2. Transient response techniques, TPD was carried out. The results indicated that the DeNO activity of V1/AC catalysts was decreased seriously in the early period of operation, but the deactivation was gradually diminished with SO2 adsorption and then, it was completely eliminated. For the sulphated catalysts (saturated catalysts by sulphate), their SCR activity were free from existence of gaseous SO2. the loss of activity about 10% caused by K2SO4 was found on them. The deactivation of K2SO4 deposited catalysts was due to the decrease of adsorbed and activated NH3, or some acid sites.

STUDY ON APPLICATION OF POTASSIUM TITANATE WHISKER MATERIALS IN PREPARATION OF PHOTOCATALYST

The K2Ti4O9 whiskers were chosen for the catalyst carrier, TiO2/potassium titanate photocatalyst was prepared by Sol-gel method. The product was characterated by X-ray diffraction and SEM. EDS shows that, the main peck included Ti, O, and K in potassium titanate whisker. The main peak of K disappeared and the peaks of Ti, O stayed after whisker was covered. It directed that the surface of sample was covered by TiO2. XRD shows that diffraction peak appeared, which was corresponded to the peak of anatase TiO2. In the reaction device of photochemistry, using middle-pressure mercury lamp as illumination, rhodamine B as simulant pollutant, the photocatalytic performance of TiO2/potassium titanate was studied. Under the same conditions, the lower pH, the larger illuminance, the higher temperature, the greater aeration quantum and the lower initial concentration of rhodamine B, the higher decoloration rate was got. Under our experiment conditions: pH 6, the illuminance of 250W, the temperature of 313K, and the aeration quantum of 2.0L/min. When the concentration of rhodamine B was 8mg/L The photocatalyst of TiO2/potassium titanate was 0.01g/L. The decoloration rate of TiO2/potassium titanate dealt with the rhodamine B reach over 95% in 160min, and compare with TiO2, the decoloration rate of rhodamine B was improved 0.50~1.91 multiple. TiO2/potassium titanate can be used to treatment of dye wastewater.

The effect of temperature on phase equilibria of polyethylene glycol(PEG8000)-K_(2)SO_(4)-H_(2)O at T=(288.15,298.15,308.15)K

The phase behavior of potassium sulfate(K_(2)SO_(4))in polyethylene glycol with molecular weight 8000(PEG8000)andwater(H_(2)O)mixed solvent at 288.15,298.15,and 308.15 Kwere determined.According to the results,when the temperature are 288.15 and 298.15 K,there is only a solid-liquid phase equilibrium relationship in the system,and the phase diagrams are both divided into three parts which respectively are the regions of unsaturated homogeneous liquid(L),one liquid and one solid K_(2)SO_(4)(L+S)and one liquid and twosolids K_(2)SO_(4) and PEG8000(L+2S).The solubility of K_(2)SO_(4) in PEG8000-H_(2)O mixed solvent decreased with the addition of the PEG8000 in the solution.Comparing the diagrams of 288.15 and 298.15 K,the sizes of regions of(L)and(L+S)increased and that of(L+2S)decreased with the increase of temperature.While at 308.15 K,solid-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibrium coexist,and there are six parts in the complete phase diagram at 308.15 K,adding the areas of one liquid and one solid K_(2)SO_(4)(L+S),two liquids(2 L),two liquids and one solid K_(2)SO_(4)(2 L+S).The equations developed by Merchuk,Hu,and Jayapalwere used to fit the binodal curves data of the systemat 308.15 K,meanwhile,the experimental tie-line data of the system at 308.15 K were correlated by Othmer-Tobias equation and Bancroft equation.
