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.

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.

Five series of silica supported bimetallic oxide (NiCo/SiO2) catalysts have been synthesized through successive reverse co-precipitation and wet impregnation methods at different metal loadings (i.e. 80Ni20Co/SiO2,, 60Ni40Co/SiO2,50Ni50Co/SiO2,40Ni60Co/SiO2,20Ni80Co/SiO2). The catalytic performance of these catalysts were tested for the CO2methanation catalysis using microactivity fixed bed reactor. Nickel rich catalyst (80Ni20Co/SiO2) exhibited the highest catalytic activity in the CO2methanation with 47.1% of CO2conversion. Meanwhile, the CH4selectivity and yield was found to be at 99.9% and 27%, respectively.

Nano copper-based catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method and the performance of catalytic hydrogenation for methyl 3-hydroxypropionate (MHP) to 1, 3-propanediol (1, 3-PDO) on the nano catalysts were studied under a high-pressure microcontinuum fixed-bed reactor. The effects of structure, texture, and composition of the catalysts on the catalytic performance were investigated by characterizing the catalysts with XRD, TG–DTG, SEM, and N 2 adsorption/desorption analysis technique. The results showed that addition of promoters enhanced the activity and selectivity of copper-based catalysts, which promoted the dispersion of the active components effectively and stabilized the active center of the catalysts. Especially, the copper-based catalyst of loaded P could restrain side-reaction effectively and improve selectivity obviously, the conversion of MHP and the selectivity of 1, 3-PDO could be 91.30% and reach 90.15%, respectively.

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.

A series of manganese base oxides (MnCe, MnZr and MnCeZr) obtained by co-precipitation, were characterized by SBET, XRD, TPR, XPS and studiedby FTIR in the oxidation reaction of a typical Cl-VOC such as chloroform, CHCl3. The oxides were compared with a manganeseoxide obtained from the recycling of spent batteries (MnOx). In addition, the catalytic combustion of CHCl3 in a fixed-bed reactor was analyzed and the CHCl3 conversion decreased in the order: MnZr > MnOx = MnCeZr >MnCe. In all cases, the conversion is higher than that obtained without a catalyst. The surface Mn4+/Mn3+ ratio would favor the decomposition of Cl-VOC. The study of CHCl3 reaction atmosphere by in situ IR reveals that in the absence of catalysts, CCl4, COCl2, C2Cl4 and CH2Cl2 were observed. On the other hand, C2Cl4 is not formed in the presence of catalysts, although CCl4 and CH2Cl2 were observed and must be avoided

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.

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.

α-Bi2Mo3O12 and γ-Bi2MoO6 catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method, and they were applied to the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene into 1,3-butadiene in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor. Formation of α-Bi2Mo3O12 and γ-Bi2MoO6 catalysts was well confirmed by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and ICP-AES analyses. The γ-Bi2MoO6 catalyst exhibited a better catalytic performance than the α-Bi2Mo3O12 catalyst. Catalytic performance of γ-Bi2MoO6 strongly depended on the pH value used in the co-precipitation step. It was also revealed that a mixed catalyst comprising γ-Bi2MoO6 (90 wt%) and small amount of α-Bi2Mo3O12 (10 wt%) showed the best catalytic performance due to the synergy effect of two components. It is believed that the high catalytic performance of the mixed catalyst resulted from high diffusion coefficient of lattice oxygen in the γ-Bi2MoO6 and from abundant chemisorption sites for n-butene in the α-Bi2Mo3O12.

With incipient impregnation method, cobalt-based catalysts were prepared. The effects of the ZrO2 modification of support and the addition of the second metal Ru on heavy hydrocarbon synthesis were investigated in a fixed-bed reactor. The results revealed that, in cobalt-based catalysts modified with ZrO2, cobalt species were presented in the form of Co3O4, Zr species were highly dispersed or amorphous on the surface of the catalysts. ZrO2 addition also increased the desorption amount of CO, which was correlative with the degree of reduction of cobalt species. When the catalysts modified with ZrO2, the strong interaction between Co species and γ-Al2O3 support was replaced by a weak interaction between Co species and ZrO2. The ZrO2 modification increased the amount of easily reducible Co species. It is noteworthy that addition of a small quantity of Ru promoted the reduction of cobalt species, which led to the reduction temperature decreasing. For the 15w%Co0.4w%Ru4.3w%ZrO2/γ-Al2O3, at a reaction condition as feed gas ratio n(H2):n(CO)=2.0, 483K, 1.5MPa and 800h-1, the conversion of CO was 76.98 %, the selectivity of C5+ 88.36 %, the chain growth probability 0.86, and as to 15.0%Co0.4%Ru/γ-Al2O3, the conversion of CO was 67.15%, the selectivity of C5+ 84.41% and the chain growth probability 0.84.
