The effect of the thermal treatment of some zeolitic materials was studied on oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of n-octane. Gallium containing faujasite catalysts were synthesized using isomorphic substitution, specifically, a galosilicalite (Ga-BaY(Sil)) and an aluminosilicalite substituted with gallium (Ga-BaY(IS)), with constant Si/M ratio. The catalysts were thermally treated at different temperatures (250, 550, and 750 °C) before catalytic testing. The quantification of total and strength of acid sites by FT-IR (O-H region), pyridine-IR, and NH3-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) confirmed a decrease in the number of Brønsted acid sites and an increase in the number of Lewis acid sites upon increasing the calcination temperature. Isothermal n-octane conversion also decreased with the catalysts’ calcination temperature, whereas octene selectivity showed the opposite trend (also at iso-conversion). The COx selectivity showed a decrease over the catalysts calcined from 250 to 550 °C and then an increase over the 750 °C calcined catalysts, which was due to the strong adsorption of products to strong Lewis acid sites on the catalysts leading to the deep oxidation of the products. Only olefinic-cracked products were observed over the 750 °C calcined catalysts. This suggested that the thermal treatment increases Lewis acid sites, which activate n-octane using a bimolecular mechanism, instead of a monomolecular mechanism.

Aromatization of n-hexane over zinc-modified ZSM-5 zeolites was investigated. It was shown that incorporation of zinc by ion exchange into cationic positions of NH4-ZSM-5 zeolite causes acid-site strength redistribution and generation of new relatively strong Lewis acid sites in zeolite increasing the selectivity of n-hexane aromatization in comparison with the parent NH4-ZSM-5 zeolite. Simultaneous presence of Lewis and Broensted acid sites in ZSM-5 zeolite does not affect the strength of Broensted acid sites in zeolite. For the activity/selectivity of aromatization of n-hexane on Zn-modified ZSM-5 zeolites, the amount of Zn and its localization in the cationic positions are decisive. The reaction of n-hexane can be also initiated by the Zn species alone in the cationic positions. ZnO species alone as an extraframework phase was found inactive in the catalyst for aromatization of n-hexane. The influence of ZnO addition on the performance of pure ammonium forms of ZSM-5 zeolites in n-hexane conversion is a result of partial migration of zinc into cationic positions of zeolite by solid-state ion exchange.

A new, recyclable and efficient copper catalyst for cross-couplings of alkynes and phosphite esters has been disclosed, in which the synergistic effects of Nb2O5 on the catalyst are found owing to its strong Lewis acid sites.

A series of nano ZnO/MoO3-ZrO2 catalysts with different ZnO loading (1.0, 2.5, 5.0 wt%) were prepared by impregnation method for n-pentane photoisomerization under hydrogen or nitrogen atmosphere. The properties of the catalysts were characterized with X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), Transmission Electron microscope (TEM) and FTIR. The XRD result showed that the fraction of tetragonal phase of ZnO/MoO3-ZrO2 was about 0.67 for all samples. While, the specific BET surface area was about 24 m2/g. Pyridine adsorbed FTIR results showed that all samples possessed high concentration of strong Lewis acid sites and small concentration of weak Bronsted acid sites. The interaction of hydrogen and surface samples at 298-523 K formed protonic acid sites with the concomitant of the partial elimination of Lewis acid sites. Whereas no changes of the concentration of acid sites were observed in the presence of nitrogen atmosphere. The activity of all samples in the n-pentane photoisomerization was strongly determined by the presence of hydrogen gas. In fact no activity was observed in the absence of hydrogen________________________________________GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
