AbstractThe effect of competitive adsorption on the catalytic performance of H3PMo12O40@C catalyst for producing 2-nitro-4-methylsulfonylbenzoic acid (NMSBA) from the oxidation of 2-nitro-4- methylsulfonyltoluene (NMST) by oxygen in acetic acid has been investigated. Six kinds of acids were added into the impregnation solution as competitive adsorbates for phosphomolybdic acid in the preparation of H3PMo12O40@C catalyst. H2SO4, HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH and H2C2O4 are beneficial to improving the catalytic activity of the H3PMo12O40@C catalyst. The corresponding optimum impregnation concentrations for H2SO4, HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH and H2C2O4 are 0.4, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0 and 0.3 mol L−1, respectively. The addition of H3PO4 exerts a negative effect on the catalytic capability of H3PMo12O40@C catalyst. The results of TEM characterization show that good dispersion of H3PMo12O40 on the surface of the H3PMo12O40@C catalyst is beneficial to ameliorating the catalytic ability of H3PMo12O40@C catalyst in the production of NMSBA from NMST by oxygen in acetic acid. The results of NH3-TPD indicate that the acidity of the H3PMo12O40@C also favors the improvement of the catalytic capability of H3PMo12O40@C in the oxidation of NMST to NMSBA.

The side-chain alkylation of toluene with methanol was investigated over some Fe-modified Cs ion-exchanged X zeolite (CsX) catalysts prepared via the impregnation method using different iron sources. The absorption/activation behaviors of the reactants on the surface of the catalysts were studied by in situ Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) mass measurements. Modification of CsX with a small amount of FeCl3 could result in a considerable decrease in catalytic activity, due mainly to the remarkable decrease in the density of acidic and basic sites of the catalysts. Interestingly, the Fe(NO3)3-modified CsX with an optimum Fe loading of 0.15 wt.% shows improved catalytic activity and high yield compared to the side-chain alkylation products. Modification of CsX with Fe(NO3)3 could also result in a decrease in basic sites of the catalyst. However, such a change does not bring an obvious negative effect on the adsorption/activation of toluene, while it could effectively inhibit the generation of the undesired bidentate formate. Furthermore, the introduced FeOx species (derived from the decomposition of Fe(NO3)3) may also act as new Lewis acidic sites to participate in the activation of methanol and to stabilize the formed active intermediates (i.e., unidentate formate). Therefore, modification of CsX with a suitable amount of Fe(NO3)3 may adjust its adsorption/activation ability for reagents by changing the acid–base properties of the catalyst, which can finally enhance the catalytic performance for the side-chain alkylation of toluene with methanol.

The catalyst of MnOx-CeOx/ACF prepared by impregnation method was used for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3, and more than 90% NO conversion was obtained at 230°C. Fe、Cu or V was used respectively to prepare transition metal modified MnOx-CeOx/ ACF catalysts which had lower catalytic activity than that over MnOx-CeOx/ACF. SEM, N2 adsorption and NH3-TPD were used to analyze the catalysts. The results showed that transition metal modified catalysts had a reduced surface area, pore volume and surface acidity. SO2 had a negative effect on SCR performance of the catalysts. Fe modified catalyst exhibited SO2 tolerance in the first 6h in the presence of 100ppm SO2. Thermal treatment in N2 at 350°C was used to regenerate the deactivated catalysts by SO2. The decomposition of ammonium salts recovered the catalytic activity to some extent. The sulfated active components in deactivated catalysts after the thermal treatment enhanced the surface acidity of the catalysts.

Catalysts based on zirconia- and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (15 wt % W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 wt % Pt) were selected to study the influence of the reduction temperature and the nature of the support on the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. The reduction temperature has a major influence on metal dispersion, which impacts the catalytic activity. In addition, alumina and zirconia supports show different catalytic properties (mainly acid site strength and surface area), which play an important role in the conversion. The NH3-TPD profiles indicate that the acidity in alumina-based catalysts is clearly higher than that in their zirconia counterparts; this acidity can be attributed to a stronger interaction of the WOx species with alumina. The PtW/Al catalyst was found to exhibit the best catalytic performance for the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane based on its higher acidity, which was ascribed to its larger surface area relative to that of its zirconia counterparts. The selectivity for different hydrocarbons (C7–10, C11 and i-C12) was very similar for all the catalysts studied, with branched C12 hydrocarbons being the main products obtained (~80%). The temperature of 350 °C was clearly the best reduction temperature for all the catalysts studied in a trickled-bed-mode reactor.

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.

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.

The effects of modifying the composition of LaCoO3 on the catalytic activity are predicted by density functional calculations. Partially replacing La by Sr ions has benefical effects, causing a lowering of the formation energy of O vacancies. In contrast to that, doping at the Co site is less effective, as only 3d impurities heavier than Co are able to stabilize vacancies at high concentrations. The comparison of the energy profiles for CO oxidation of undoped and of Ni-, Cu-m and Zn-doped (La,Sr)CoO3(100) surface shows that Cu is most effective. However, the effects are less spectacular than in the SrTiO3 case, due to the different energetics for the formation of oxygen vacancies in the two hosts.

Wet oxidation tests were performed on two pure compound streams: acetic acid and ammonia; and on two wastewater streams: acrylic acid wastewater and sulphide laden spent caustic. Test results showed that Mn/Ce and Pt/TiO2 were effective catalysts that greatly enhanced acetic acid, ammonia and acrylic acid wastewater destruction. However, the Mn/Ce catalyst performance appears to be inhibited by concentrated salts dissolved in solution. This could limit the applicability of this catalyst for the treatment of brackish wastewaters. Zr, Ce and Ce nanoparticles were also shown to exhibit some catalytic activity, however not to the extent of the Mn/Ce and the Pt/TiO2.

Maghemite (γ-FeSubscript text2OSubscript text3) and hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles with various dominant exposure crystal planes were prepared by several different methods. The structure and the reducibility of these materials were investigated by XRD, Raman and H2-TPR technologies, and their catalytic performance for propene oxidation was also discussed. The maghemite (γ-FeSubscript text2OSubscript text3) showed a better reducibility than hematite (α-FeSubscript text2OSubscript text3), but its activity for propene oxidation is relatively lower. The exposure crystal plane of hematite has a significant influence on its catalytic activity for propene oxidation. Among the prepared four samples, the hematite-1 sample showed the best activity. The selective growth of any planes with a relative low density of Fe atoms for the α-FeSubscript text2OSubscript text3 catalyst would lead to an obvious decrease in the catalytic activity.
