AbstractLayered zeolites and their delaminated structures are novel materials that enhance the catalytic performance of catalysts by addressing diffusion limitations of the reactant molecules. n-Hexane catalytic cracking was observed over MCM-22 layered zeolite and its derivative structures over the temperature range of 450–650 °C for the production of olefins. MCM-22, H-MCM-22, and ITQ-2 zeolites were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Oxalic acid was used as a dealuminating reagent to obtain H-MCM-22 with various Si/Al ratios ranging from 09–65. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, and BET. The cracking of n-hexane was carried out by Pyro/GC–MS. It was observed that the selectivity for olefins was improved by increasing the Si/Al ratio. H-MCM-22–10% produced the highest relative olefinic concentration of 68% as compared to other dealuminated structures. Moreover, the product distribution showed that higher reaction temperature is favorable to produce more olefins. Furthermore, a comparison between ITQ-2 and MCM-22 derived structures showed that ITQ-2 is more favorable for olefins production at high temperatures. The concentration of relative olefins was increased up to 80% over ITQ-2 at 650 °C.

AbstractInfluence of dealumination of zeolite ZSM-22 (Si/Al ratio of 45) by treating it with oxalic acid on its catalytic performance in n-hexadecane hydroisomerization reaction was studied. This reaction is an attempt in the direction of green and sustainable source of diesel via improving the cold-flow properties of deoxygenated vegetable oils. Pt (0.5 wt%) on ZSM-22 treated with 1 M oxalic acid afforded highest yields of the mono-branched paraffins. This improved is attributed to selective removal of active sites on external surface of zeolite crystals (responsible for undesired cracking reactions) using the bulkier dealuminating agent, oxalic acid. Thus, pore-mouth key-lock mechanism was brought to play the role to cause high selectivity to mono-branched isomers. Preferential external site deactivation was inferred from mesitylene cracking results. Effects of operating parameters such as temperature, and space velocity on product distribution also were studied. Also, kinetics of the reactions involved too has been in brief reported.

AbstractZeolite morphology is crucial in determining their catalytic activity, selectivity and stability, but quantitative descriptors of such a morphology effect are challenging to define. Here we introduce a descriptor that accounts for the morphology effect in the catalytic performances of H-ZSM-5 zeolite for C4 olefin catalytic cracking. A series of H-ZSM-5 zeolites with similar sheet-like morphology but different c-axis lengths were synthesized. We found that the catalytic activity and stability is improved in samples with longer c-axis. Combining time-resolved in-situ FT-IR spectroscopy with molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the difference in catalytic performance can be attributed to the anisotropy of the intracrystalline diffusive propensity of the olefins in different channels. Our descriptor offers mechanistic insight for the design of highly effective zeolite catalysts for olefin cracking.

AbstractNi based catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 that was unpromoted (Ni/γAl2O3) or promoted (Ni–Fe/γAl2O3, Ni–Co/γAl2O3, and Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3) were prepared using by the impregnation – co-precipitation method. Their catalytic performances for CO methanation were studied at 3 atm with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 3000 ml/g/h of syngas with a molar ratio of H2/CO = 3 and in the temperature range between 130 and 350 °C. All promoters could improve nickel distribution, and decreased its particle sizes. It was found that the Ni–Co/γAl2O3 catalyst showed the highest catalytic performance for CO methanation in a low temperature range (<250 °C). The temperatures for the 20% CO conversion over Ni–Co/γAl2O3, Ni–Fe/γAl2O3, Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3 and Ni/γAl2O3 catalysts were 205, 253, 263 and 270 °C, respectively. The improved catalyst distribution by the addition of cobalt promoter caused the formation of β type nickel species which had an appropriate interacting strength with alumina support in the Ni–Co/γAl2O3. Though an addition of iron promoter improved catalyst distribution, the methane selectivity was lowered due to acceleration of both CO methanation and WGS reaction with the Ni–Fe/γAl2O3. Moreover, it was found that there was no synergetic effect from the binary Fe–Co promotors in the Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3 on catalytic activity for CO methanation.

In the first paper of this series (Burgoyne 1937) the kinetics of the isothermal oxidation above 400° C of several aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. The present communication extends this work to include the phenomena of ignition in the same temperature range, whilst the corresponding reactions below 400° C form the subject of further investigations now in progress. The hydrocarbons at present under consideration are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n -propylbenzene, o-, m - and p -xylenes and mesitylene.

Thermal Conductivities

The thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped Zn4Sb3 compounds, (Zn1–xNbx)4Sb3 (x = 0, 0.005, and 0.01), were investigated at temperatures ranging from 300 to 685 K. The results showed that by substituting Zn with Nb, the thermal conductivities of all the Nb-doped compounds were lower than that of the pristine β-Zn4Sb3. Among the compounds studied, the lightly substituted (Zn0.995Nb0.005)4Sb3 compound exhibited the best thermoelectric performance due to the improvement in both its electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. Its figure of merit, ZT, was greater than the undoped Zn4Sb3 compound for the temperature range investigated. In particular, the ZT of (Zn0.995Nb0.005)4Sb3 reached a value of 1.1 at 680 K, which was 69% greater than that of the undoped Zn4Sb3 obtained in this study.

A method is given for exact mathematical analysis of linear heat flow systems used in measuring thermal conductivity at high temperatures. It is shown that a popular version of such a system is very sensitive to the alignment of its components, which seriously limits the temperature range of its satisfactory use.
