Catalytic combustion of isopropanol in the structured fixed-bed reactor was investigated over Co–ZSM-5 zeolite membrane catalysts. Firstly, ZSM-5 zeolite membrane catalysts with different Si/Al ratios were coated onto the surface of stainless steel fibres via secondary growth method and wet lay-up paper-making method. Then, cobalt oxides were loaded onto the zeolite membranes by impregnation method. The performance of catalytic combustion of isopropanol was conducted over the prepared zeolite membrane catalysts, and the experimental results showed that the catalyst with infinite Si/Al ratio has the highest catalytic activity for the combustion with the lowest T 90 of isopropanol (285°C). Finally, the effects of bed structure, feed concentration, gas hourly space velocity and reaction temperature on the catalytic performance were investigated to analyse the kinetics of isopropanol over the catalyst with infinite Si/Al ratio in the structured fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that the longer residence time could cause higher reaction contact efficiency of isopropanol combustion. T 90 of isopropanol can be dramatically decreased by 105°C in the fixed-bed reactor packed with Co–ZSM-5 zeolite membrane catalysts, compared to the fixed-bed reactor packed with granular catalyst.

Abstract Recently, because of the increasing demand for natural gas and the reduction of greenhouse gases, interests have focused on producing synthetic natural gas (SNG), which is suggested as an important future energy carrier. Hydrogenation of CO2, the so-called methanation reaction, is a suitable technique for the fixation of CO2. Nickel supported on yttrium oxide and promoted with cobalt were prepared by the wet-impregnation method respectively and characterized using SBET, XRD, FTIR, XPS, TPR, and HRTEM/EDX. CO2 hydrogenation over the Ni/Y2O3 catalyst was examined and compared with Co–Ni/Y2O3 catalysts, Co% = 10 and 15 wt/wt. The catalytic test was conducted with the use of a fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure. The catalytic performance temperature was 350 °C with a supply of H2:CO2 molar ratio of 4 and a total flow rate of 200 mL/min. The CH4 yield was reached 67%, and CO2 conversion extended 48.5% with CO traces over 10Co–Ni/Y2O3 catalyst. This encourages the direct methanation reaction mechanism. However, the reaction mechanism over Ni/Y2O3 catalyst shows different behaviors rather than that over bi-metal catalysts, whereas the steam reforming of methane reaction was arisen associated with methane consumption besides increase in H2 and CO formation; at the same temperature reaction.

Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 was investigated in a fixed bed reactor for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) process. Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 was prepared by modified co-precipitation, followed by the hydrothermal method. The active metal Co was loaded via the wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, and FTIR. The performance of Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 for the DRM process was investigated in a reactor with a temperature of 750 °C, a feed ratio (CO2/CH4) of 1, a catalyst loading of 0.5 g, and a feed flow rate of 20 mL min−1. The effect of support interaction with metal and the composite were studied for catalytic activity, the composite showing significantly improved results. Moreover, among the tested Co loadings, 5 wt% Co over the TiO2–MgAl2O4 composite shows the best catalytic performance. The 5%Co/TiO2–MgAl2O4 improved the CH4 and CO2 conversion by up to 70% and 80%, respectively, while the selectivity of H2 and CO improved to 43% and 46.5%, respectively. The achieved H2/CO ratio of 0.9 was due to the excess amount of CO produced because of the higher conversion rate of CO2 and the surface carbon reaction with oxygen species. Furthermore, in a time on stream (TOS) test, the catalyst exhibited 75 h of stability with significant catalytic activity. Catalyst potential lies in catalyst stability and performance results, thus encouraging the further investigation and use of the catalyst for the long-run DRM process.

Iron-based nanocatalyst was prepared via impregnation method on SiO2 support. The effects of promoters, namely, K and Cu, on the physical properties and catalytic performance in FTS have been investigated. The FTS performance of the synthesized nanocatalysts was examined in a fixed-bed microreactor at temperature of 523K, atmospheric pressure, 1.5 reactant ratio (H2/CO) and space velocity of 3L/g-cat.h. In FTS reaction, Cu promoter resulted in a lower CO conversion and C5+ hydrocarbons selectivity but higher selectivity to the lighter hydrocarbons (C1-C4) comparedto those obtained using the K promoter. Higher CO conversion (28.9%) and C5+ hydrocarbons selectivity (54.4%) were obtained using K as a promoter compared to that of Cu promoter. However, the K-promoted nanocatalyst resulted in a lower CO conversion but higher selectivity of the heavy hydrocarbons (C5+) compared to those obtained using the un-promoted nanocatalyst.

Manganese and cerium based catalysts with different Mn/Ce molar ratios prepared by impregnation method for ethyl acetate oxidation. The activity tests of the samples were performed in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and ethyl acetate concentration on the catalytic activity of the catalyst were also investigated. The results showed that these catalysts had high activity for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate, of which the catalyst Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2exhibitedthe bestactivity, and the temperature required for 90% conversion of ethyl acetate was at 216 °C. The catalyst Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2still maintained high activity in the range of GHSV (16,500 to 48,500 h-1) and ethyl acetate concentration (4526 to 7092 mg/m3). In additional, experiments for measuring stability of Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2were carried out, and experimental results showed that the good stability of Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2was kept after it has run for 25 hours.

Two types of amorphous ZrO2 (am-ZrO2) catalysts were prepared by different co-precipitation/reflux digestion methods (with ethylenediamine and ammonia as the precipitant respectively). Then, copper and potassium were introduced for modifying ZrO2 via an impregnation method to enhance the catalytic performance. The obtained catalysts were further characterized by means of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and In situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS). CO hydrogenation experiments were performed in a fixed-bed reactor for isobutanol synthesis. Great differences were observed on the distribution of alcohols over the two types of ZrO2 catalysts, which were promoted with the same content of Cu and K. The selectivity of isobutanol on K-CuZrO2 (ammonia as precipitant, A-KCZ) was three times higher than that on K-CuZrO2 (ethylenediamine as precipitant, E-KCZ). The characterization results indicated that the A-KCZ catalyst supplied more active hydroxyls (isolated hydroxyls) for anchoring and dispersing Cu. More importantly, it was found that bicarbonate species were formed, which were ascribed as important C1 species for isobutanol formation on the A-KCZ catalyst surface. These C1 intermediates had relatively stronger adsorption strength than those adsorbed on the E-KCZ catalyst, indicating that the bicarbonate species on the A-KCZ catalyst had a longer residence time for further carbon chain growth. Therefore, the selectivity of isobutanol was greatly enhanced. These findings would extend the horizontal of direct alcohols synthesis from syngas.

Dehydrogenation process of organic chemical hydrides was improved by modifying the catalyst of nickel-activated carbon (Ni/AC) with lanthanum (La). The catalysts were prepared in impregnation method with different amounts of La and Ni. The textural properties and morphology of catalyst were analyzed by nitrogen adsorption and transmission electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer respectively. The effects such as metal content and granule size on the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane were investigated in fixed bed reactor. The results show that the metallic active components can be well dispersed on the support, and the elements analysis indicates the metal species tend to assemble on the surface layer rather than being distributed equally in the whole catalyst. The La modified catalyst LaNi/AC exhibited superior catalytic performance to Ni/AC and the conversion was 45% for LaNi/AC catalyst at 673K, while only 34 % for Ni/AC under the same conditions.

CoMo-supported mesoporous catalysts were synthesized by 50 wt% of HZSM-5 and 50 wt% of FSM-16, KIT-6, and MCM-48. These catalysts were prepared by the wet-impregnation method and pre-sulfided with CS2. The catalytic performance was evaluated for HDS reaction of dibenzothiophene over a temperature range of 250-400 °C in a micro fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure. The supported CoMo bimetallic catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, and SEM. The CoMo/KIT-6/HZSM-5 indicate higher activity than other catalysts at 400 °C for dibenzothiophene hydrodesulphurization. Also, the best selectivity to cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) is related to CoMo/FSM-16/HZSM-5. The activation energy was also calculated for all prepared catalysts for the conversions of less than 10%; according to which, the activation energy for CoMo/KIT-6/HZSM-5 is less than other catalysts (~21 kJ/mol) which can be related to the appropriate pore size and high surface area of the support.

In this research, a novel modified wet impregnation method has been successfully developed to synthesize 5% Ni/SiO2 nanocatalyst with high catalytic activity and stability for the partial oxidation of methane. Oleylamine was used as a capping agent in the impregnation solution to improve Ni dispersion and interaction with silica surfaces. The product was analyzed and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, N2 physisorption measurement and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and temperature- -programmed H2 reduction (H2-TPR). Partial oxidation of methane over the modified catalyst was performed in a continues-flow fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure at 700?C. The modified catalyst showed 91% CH4 conversion, 86% H2 yield and 95% CO selectivity, and these results almost remained constant within 5 h reaction on stream. The excellent catalytic performance of the catalyst was reasonably attributed to the small and uniform distribution of Ni nanoparticles on the support, and structural characterization confirmed this conclusion.

La-promoted and unpromoted 10%Co/Al2O3 catalysts were synthesized using wet a impregnation method and evaluated in a quartz fixed-bed reactor at different CO2:C2H5OH ratios of 2.5:1-1:2.5 and a reaction temperature of 973 K under atmospheric pressure. X-ray diffraction measurements detected the presence of Co3O4 and CoAl2O4 phases on the surface of both promoted and unpromoted catalysts. BET surface area of promoted and unpromoted 10%Co/Al2O3 catalysts was about 143.09 and 136.04 m2.g-1, respectively. The La promoter facilitated Co3O4 reduction, improved the degree of reduction from 86 to 98% and increased metal dispersion from 9.11% to 16.64%. The La-promoted catalyst appeared to be a better catalyst in terms of catalytic activity and product yield regardless of reactant partial pressure. Both C2H5OH and CO2 conversions improved significantly with an increase in CO2 partial pressure from 20 to 50 kPa for both catalysts whilst a decline in catalytic performance was observed with rising C2H5OH partial pressure. La addition improved C2H5OH and CO2 conversions up to about 74.22% and 33.80%, respectively.

Hasil daripada ukuran pembelauan X-ray, didapati terdapat kehadiran fasa Co3O4 dan CoAl2O4 pada permukaan kedua-dua mangkin penggalak dan bukan penggalak. Permukaan kawasan BET pada penggalak dan bukan penggalak mangkin 10%Co/Al2O3 adalah masing-masing sebanyak 143.09 dan 136.04 m2.g-1. Penggalak-La membantu dalam pengurangan Co3O4,membaiki peratus penurunan daripada 86 kepada 98% dan menambah penyebaran logam daripada 9.11% kepada 16.64%. Mangkin penggalak-La dilihat sebagai mangkin terbaik dari segi aktiviti pemangkinan dan hasil pengeluaran, biarpun pada tekanan separa reaktan. Kedua-dua penukaran C2H5OH dan CO2 meningkat dengan ketara dengan kenaikan separa tekanan CO2 daripada 20 kepada 50 kPa bagi kedua-dua pemangkin, sementara penurunan dalam aktiviti pemangkinan dilihat dengan kenaikan tekanan separa C2H5OH. Penambahan La meningkatkan penukaran C2H5OH dan CO2, masing-masing sebanyak 74.22% dan 33.80%.
