Reconstruction and recovery of anatase TiO_(2) from spent selective catalytic reduction catalyst by Na OH hydrothermal method

The improper disposal of spent selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts causes environmental pollution and metal resource waste.A novel process to recover anatase titanium dioxide (TiO_(2)) from spent SCR catalysts was proposed.The process included alkali (NaOH) hydrothermal treatment,sulfuric acid washing,and calcination.Anatase TiO_(2) in spent SCR catalyst was reconstructed by forming Na_(2)Ti_(2)O_(4)(OH)_(2) nanosheet during NaOH hydrothermal treatment and H_(2)Ti_(2)O_(4)(OH)_(2) during sulfuric acid washing.Anatase TiO_(2) was recovered by decomposing H_(2)Ti_(2)O_(4)(OH)_(2) during calcination.The surface pore properties of the recovered anatase TiO_(2) were adequately improved,and its specific surface area (SSA) and pore volume (PV) were 85 m^(2)·g^(-1)and 0.40 cm^(3)·g^(-1),respectively.The elements affecting catalytic abilities(arsenic and sodium) were also removed.The SCR catalyst was resynthesized using the recovered TiO_(2) as raw material,and its catalytic performance in NO selective reduction was comparable with that of commercial SCR catalyst.This study realized the sustainable recycling of anatase TiO_(2) from spent SCR catalyst.

Advanced semiconductor catalyst designs for the photocatalytic reduction of CO_(2)

Using clean solar energy to reduce CO_(2)into value-added products not only consumes the over-emitted CO_(2)that causes environmental problems,but also generates fuel chemicals to alleviate energy crises.The photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction reaction(PCO_(2)RR)relies on the semiconductor photocatalysts that suffer from high recombination rate of the photo-generated carriers,low light harvesting capability,and low stability.This review explores the recent discoveries on the novel semiconductors for PCO_(2)RR,focusing on the rational catalyst design strategies(such as surface engineering,band engineering,hierarchical structure construction,single-atom catalysts,and biohybrid catalysts)that promote the catalytic performance of semiconductor catalysts on PCO_(2)RR.The advanced characterization techniques that contribute to understanding the intrinsic properties of the photocatalysts are also discussed.Lastly,the perspectives on future challenges and possible solutions for PCO_(2)RR are presented.

Amorphous TiO_2-supported Keggin-type ionic liquid catalyst catalytic oxidation of dibenzothiophene in diesel

Supported ionic liquid(IL) catalysts [Cmim]PMoO/Am TiO(amorphous TiO) were synthesized through a one-step method for extraction coupled catalytic oxidative desulfurization(ECODS) system. Characterizations such as FTIR, DRS,wide-angle XRD, Nadsorption–desorption and XPS were applied to analyze the morphology and Keggin structure of the catalysts. In ECODS with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, it was found that ILs with longer alkyl chains in the cationic moiety had a better effect on the removal of dibenzothiophene. The desulfurization could reach 100% under optimal conditions, and GC–MS analysis was employed to detect the oxidized product after the reaction. Factors affecting the desulfurization efficiencies were discussed, and a possible mechanism was proposed. In addition, cyclic experiments were also conducted to investigate the recyclability of the supported catalyst. The catalytic activity of [Cmim]PMoO/Am TiOonly dropped from 100% to 92.9% after ten cycles, demonstrating the good recycling performance of the catalyst and its potential industrial application.

The MoS_(2)-based materials are a vital class of heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin and its model compounds to produce value-added chemicals especially because of their unique selectivity to aromatics.The rational design of MoS_(2)-based catalyst greatly depends on the comprehensive understanding of its structure-activity relationship.However,an intensive summary and critical analysis are still scarce to date.In this review,we attempt to provide an in-depth understanding of the interplay of structure,catalysis,and stability of MoS_(2)-based catalysts for lignin hydrodeoxygenation.The recognition of intrinsic active sites on MoS_(2) structure was firstly discussed,followed by the illustration of MoS_(2)-catalyzed hydrodeoxygenation structural models.Afterward,based on the studies on the MoS_(2)-catalyzed lignin model compounds hydrodeoxygenation,the current active site modification strategies including structural modification of monometallic MoS_(2) catalysts and collaborative modification were summarized and emphatically discussed,which aims to elucidate the structure-activity relationship at the atomic-level.The deactivation mechanism and stabilization strategies were also illustrated to provide instructive suggestion for the rational design of efficient and stable MoS_(2)-based catalysts.Finally,the real lignin depolymerization over MoS_(2)-based catalysts was summarized to point out the advantages and difficulties.This review attempts to highlight the remaining challenges and provide some perspectives for the future development of MoS_(2)-based catalysts for lignin hydrodeoxygenation.

Preparation of B_(2)O_(3)/SBA-15 and Application as Matrix Component in Nickel-Tolerant Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalyst

Fluid catalytic cracking(FCC)is still a key process in the modern refining industry,in which nickel contamination of the FCC catalyst can significantly increase the dry gas and coke yields and thus seriously affect the stability of the FCC unit.Therefore,in this work,B_(2)O_(3)-modified SBA-15 molecular sieves(B_(2)O_(3)/SBA-15)with different B_(2)O_(3) contents were prepared,characterized,and further used as matrix component in the preparation of Ni-tolerant FCC catalyst.The characterization results indicated that the B_(2)O_(3)/SBA-15 samples possessed excellent Ni passivation ability and kept the characteristic structure of the parent SBA-15 such as highly ordered mesopores,large surface area,and high pore volume,which enabled the B_(2)O_(3)/SBA-15 sample to greatly improve the Ni tolerance of the prepared FCC catalyst.The heavy oil catalytic cracking tests indicated that,under the same Ni contamination conditions,the dry gas,coke,and heavy oil yields of the FCC catalyst containing B_(2)O_(3)/SBA-15 decreased by 0.92%,1.65%,and 1.26%,respectively,compared with those of conventional FCC catalyst,while the total liquid yield increased by 3.83%.

The catalytic activities of TiSiW_(12)O_(40)/TiO_2 in synthesizing ethylester; propyl ester, n-butyl ester; and amyl ester were reported. It was demonstrated thatTiSiW_(12)O_(40)/TiO_2 is an excellent catalyst. Various factors concerned with esterification wereinvestigated. The optimum conditions were found: the mole ratio of alcohol to acid is 1.3:1, themass ratio of catalyst to reactants is 1.5 percent, and the reaction time is 1.0 h. Under theoptimum conditions, the yields are 88.0 percent for ethyl ester, 94.5 percent for propyl ester, 98.6percent for n-butyl ester, 99.1 percent for n-amyl ester, and 96.7 percent for iso-amyl ester,respectively.

Enhanced low-temperature NH3-SCR performance of CeTiOx catalyst via surface Mo modification

The effect of molybdenum oxide on the activity and durability of Ce O2-Ti O2 catalyst for NO reduction by NH3 was examined. It was found that the introduction of Mo could improve the low-temperature NH3-SCR activity and SO2/H2 O durability of the Ce O2-Ti O2 catalyst and an optimal loading of Mo was 4?wt.%. The best Mo O3/Ce O2-Ti O2 catalyst displayed over 90% NO conversion from 200 °C to 400 °C and obtained 4-fold increase in NO conversion compared to Ce O2-Ti O2 at 150 °C. The characterization results revealed that the number of Br?nsted acid sites over Mo O3/Ce O2-Ti O2 was significantly increased, and the adsorption of nitrate species was dramatically weakened because of the coverage of Mo O3, which were favorable for the high NH3-SCR performance. It is believed that the Mo O3/Ce O2-Ti O2 catalyst is a suitable substitute for the NH3-SCR reaction.

Catalytic oxidation of low concentration formaldehyde over Pt/TiO_(2) catalyst

Formaldehyde(HCHO) is an important indoor pollutant.Catalytic oxidize low concentration HCHO is an effective way to eliminate indoor pollution.In this study,a series of Pt/TiO_(2) catalysts are prepared by impregnation and reduced by NaBH_4.The effects of loading amount of Pt and cry stal type of TiO_(2) on the physical and chemical properties and the catalytic performance in HCHO oxidation reaction are investigated.The results show that the quantity of active site and the oxygen vacancy of catalysts increa sed with increasing Pt content,which is beneficial to promote the further performance of catalysts.Nevertheless,with the further rises of Pt content,the specific surface area further decreases,and the proportion of Pt^(2+) species on the catalyst surface which is significant to catalytic properties also decreases,causing catalytic performance decreases.Compared with the catalyst supporting on rutile,the Pt/α-TiO_(2) catalyst supporting on anatase has larger specific surface area,more Pt^(2+) phase and easier to form oxygen vacancy in the support,which cause better catalytic performance.The catalyst with Pt content of0.1 wt% and supported by anatase TiO_(2) has the best catalytic performance.The HCHO conversion efficiency reaches 98% and 100% at 50℃ and 100 ℃, and the stabilization time is longer than 140 h.

Catalytic Performance and Characterization of Anatase TiO_(2) Supported Pd Catalysts for the Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene

Anatase TiO_(2)nanospindles containing 89%exposed{101}facets(TIO_(2)-101)and nanosheets with 77%exposed{001}facets(TiO_(2)-001)were hydrothermally synthesized and used as supports for Pd catalysts.The effects of the TiO_(2)materials on the catalytic performance of Pd/TiO_(2)-101 and Pd/TiO_(2)-001 catalysts were investigated in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene to polymer-grade ethylene.The PdfTiO_(2)-101 catalyst exhibited enhanced performance in terms of acetylene conversion and ethylene yield.To understand these effects,the catalysts were characterized by H_(2)temperature-programmed desorption(H_(2)-TPD),H_(2)temperature-programmed reduction(H=-TPR),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),pulse CO chemisorption,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).The TEM and CO chemisorption results confirmed that Pd nanoparticles(NPs)on the TiO_(2)-101 support had a smaller average particle size(1.53 nm)and a higher dispersion(15.95%)than those on the TiO_(2)-001 support(average particle size of 4.36 nm and dispersion of 9.06%).The smaller particle size and higher dispersion of Pd on the Pd/TiO_(2)-101 catalyst provided more reaction active sites,which contributed to the improved catalytic activity of this supported catalyst.

Effects of TiO_(2) Support and Cobalt Addition of Ni/TiO_(2) Catalyst in Selective Hydrogenation of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol

An effect of phase compositions(rutile,Rut and anatase,Ant)of TiO_(2)supports on the selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol was investigated.The 15%wt Ni/TiO_(2)catalysts were prepared by incipient impregnation method.The result showed that Ni supported on anatase-rutile mixed phase TiO_(2)(91%Rut and 9%Ant,A2)provided the highest furfuryl alcohol yield at 43.8%due to the relatively strong Ni-TiO_(2)interaction,its appropriate crystallite sizes,and high average pore sizes.Furthermore,the effect of cobalt as a promoter on Ni/TiO_(2)-A2 catalysts was studied.The result showed that the Ni-Co/TiO_(2)-A2 catalysts exhibited poorer catalyst performances compared to the monometallic Ni/TiO_(2),probably because addition of cobalt can lower the reduction temperatures of Ni/TiO_(2)and weaken the metal-support interaction.

CH_4-CO_2 reforming to syngas over Pt-CeO_2-ZrO_2/MgO catalysts: Modification of support using ion exchange resin method

Pt-CeO2-ZrO2/MgO （Pt-CZ/MgO） catalysts with 0.8 wt% Pt, 3.0 wt% CeO2 and 3.0 wt% ZrO2 were prepared by wet impregnation method. Support MgO was obtained using ion exchange resin method or using commercial MgO. XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, DTA-TG and CO2-TPD were used to characterize the catalysts. CH4-CO2 reforming to synthesis gas （syngas） was performed to test the catalytic behavior of the catalysts. The catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO-IE（D） prepared using ion exchange resin exhibits more regular structure, smaller and more unique particle sizes, and stronger basicity than the catalyst Pt-CZ/MgO prepared from commercial MgO. At 1073 K and atmospheric pressure, Pt-CZ/MgO-IE（D） catalyst has a higher activity and greater stability than Pt-CZ/MgO catalyst for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction at high gas hourly space velocity of 36000 mL/（g.h） with a stoichiometric feed of CH4 and C02. Activity measurement and characterization results demonstrate that modification of the support using ion exchange resin method can promote the surface structural property and stability, therefore enhancing the activity and stability for CH4-CO2 reforming reaction.

Insight into the promotional mechanism of Cu modification towards wide-temperature NH3-SCR performance of NbCe catalyst

A simple strategy of Cu modification was proposed to broaden the operation temperature window for NbCe catalyst.The best catalyst Cu0.010/Nb1Ce3 presented over 90%NO conversion in a wide temperature range of 200-400℃and exhibited an excellent H_(2)O or/and SO_(2) resistance at 275℃.To understand the promotional mechanism of Cu modification,the correlation among the"activity-structure-property"were tried to establish systematically.Cu species highly dispersed on NbCe catalyst to serve as the active component.The strong interaction among Cu,Nb and Ce promoted the emergence of NbO4 and induced more Bronsted acid sites.And Cu modification obviously enhanced the redox behavior of the NbCe catalyst.Besides,EPR probed the Cu species exited in the form of monomeric and dimeric Cu^(2+),the isolated Cu^(2+)acted as catalytic active sites to promote the reaction:Cu^(2+)-NO_(3)^(-)+NO(g)→Cu^(2+)-NO_(2)^(-)+NO_(2)(g).Then the generated NO_(2) would accelerate the fast-SCR reaction process and thus facilitated the lowtemperature deNO_(x) efficiency.Moreover,surface nitrates became unstable and easy to decompose after Cu modification,thus providing additional adsorption and activation sites for NH3,and ensuring the improvement of catalytic activity at high temperature.Since the NH3-SCR reaction followed by E-R reaction pathway efficaciously over Cu_(0.010)/Nb_(1)Ce_(3) catalyst,the excellent H_(2)O and SO_(2) resistance was as expected.
