Ni catalysts supported on CeO2 and HZSM-5 supports were prepared and tested as catalysts in the liquid hydrogenation of maleic anhydride. Particularly Ni/HZSM-5 was active and selective in the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to ڃ-butyrolactone. The characterization results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption and CO temperature programmed reduction (CO-TPR) evidenced that the higher C=O hydrogenation ability of Ni/HZSM-5 catalyst was related to strong interaction between Ni particles and HZSM-5, and the high dispersion of fine Ni particles on the surface of support. Further, the acidic HZSM-5 support benefits the dehydration performance during the C=O bond hydrogenation process, which favored the production of ڃ-butyrolactone. The dual-functional Ni/HZSM-5 catalyst possesses both hydrogenation and dehydration activity.

The incorporation of metal heteroatoms into zeolites is an effective modification strategy for enhancing their catalytic performance. Herein, for the first time we report a generalized methodology for inserting metal heteroatoms (such as Sn, Fe, Zn, and Co) into the layered zeolite precursor RUB-36 via interlayer expansion by using the corresponding metal acetylacetate salt. Through this generalized methodology, Sn-JHP-1, Fe-JHP-1, Zn-JHP-1 and Co-JHP-1 zeolites could be successfully prepared by the reaction of RUB-36 and corresponding metal acetylacetate salt at 180 °C for 24 h in the presence of HCl solution. As a typical example, Sn-JHP-1 and calcined Sn-JHP-1 (Sn-JHP-2) zeolite is well characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), N2 sorption, temperature-programmed-desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques, which confirm the expansion of adjacent interlayers and thus the incorporation of isolated Sn sites within the zeolite structure. Notably, the obtained Sn-JHP-2 zeolite sample shows enhanced catalytic performance in the conversion of glucose to levulinic acid (LA) reaction.

In this study, unique core-shell aluminate spinel supports, Al@MAl2O4 (M = Zn, Mg, or Mn), were obtained by simple hydrothermal surface oxidation and were applied to the preparation of supported Ni catalysts for CO2 methanation. For comparison, CO methanation was also evaluated using the same catalysts. The prepared catalysts were characterized with a variety of techniques, including N2 physisorption, CO2 chemisorption, H2 chemisorption, temperature-programmed reduction with H2, temperature-programmed desorption of CO2, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The combination of supports with core-shell spinel structures and Ni doping with a deposition–precipitation method created outstanding catalytic performance of the Ni catalysts supported on Al@MgAl2O4 and Al@MnAl2O4 due to improved dispersion of Ni nanoparticles and creation of moderate basic sites with suitable strength. Good stability of Ni/Al@MnAl2O4 catalyst was also confirmed in the study.

Hierarchical HZSM-5 membranes were prepared on the inner wall of stainless steel tubes, using amphiphilic organosilane (TPOAC) and mesitylene (TMB) as a meso-porogen and a swelling agent, respectively. The mesoporosity of the HZSM-5 membranes were tailored via formulating the TPOAC/Tetraethylorthosilicate (TPOAC/TEOS) ratio and TMB/TPOAC ratio, in synthesis gel, and the prepared membranes were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption–desorption, N2 permeation, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), in situ fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), etc. It was found that the increase of the TPOAC/TEOS ratio promoted a specific surface area and diffusivity of the HZSM-5 membranes, as well as decreased acidity; the increase of the TMB/TPOAC ratios led to an enlargement of the mesopore size and diffusivity of the membranes, but with constant acid properties. The catalytic performance of the prepared HZSM-5 membranes was tested using the catalytic cracking of supercritical n-dodecane (500 °C, 4 MPa) as a model reaction. The hierarchical membrane with the TPOAC/TEOS ratio of 0.1 and TMB/TPOAC ratio of 2, exhibited superior catalytic performances with the highest activity of up to 13% improvement and the lowest deactivation rate (nearly a half), compared with the microporous HZSM-5 membrane, due to the benefits of suitable acidity, together with enhanced diffusivity of n-dodecane and cracking products.

Abstract In the present work, the catalytic conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) was studied over monometallic of Cu and Ag, and bimetallic Cu-Ag supported on MgO-SiO2 (with MgO/SiO2 ratio of 2.0) under the temperature range from 250 to 325 °C. All catalysts were prepared by 4 different techniques including (i) conventional impregnation, (ii) microwave-assisted method, (iii) polyvinyl alcohol/sodium borohydride (PVA/NaBH4) assisted method, and (iv) benzoxaxine-assisted method to elucidate the effect of catalyst preparation method on their catalytic performance. All fresh and spent catalysts were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption and Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) techniques to understand the relation between their physical/chemical properties and catalytic performance. From the reaction test, it was found that 5 %Ag/MgO-SiO2 showed greater activity towards 1,3-BD production than 5 %Cu/MgO-SiO2; nevertheless, higher deactivation after 6 h of operation was observed from 5 %Ag/MgO-SiO2. Importantly, this study revealed that bimetallic 2.5 %Cu-2.5 %Ag/MgO-SiO2 enhanced significantly higher activity and stability towards the reaction than monometallic catalysts. In addition, 2.5 %Cu-2.5 %Ag/MgO-SiO2 prepared by benzoxaxine-assisted method enhanced significantly higher reaction activity and stability than other preparation techniques, from which 1,3-BD yield of 46.40 % after 6 h of operation can be achieved. From the characterization, the good activity of this catalyst is mainly due to the dispersion improvement of metal over MgO-SiO2 support.

The increase of harmful carbon monoxide (CO) caused by incomplete combustion can affect human health even lead to suffocation. Therefore reducing the CO discharged by vehicles or factories is urgent to improve the air quality. The spinel cobalt (II, III) oxide (Co3O4) is an active catalyst for CO abatement. In this study, we tried to fabricate dispersing Co3O4 via the dispersion-precipitation method with acetic acid, formic acid, and oxalic acid as the chelating dispersants. Then, the asprepared samples were calcined at 300 ºC for 4 h to obtain active catalysts, and assigned as Co(A), Co(F) and Co(O) respectively, the amount of the dispersants used are labeled as I (0.12 mole), II (0.03 mole) and III (0.01 mole). For comparison, another CoAP sample was prepared via alkaliinduced precipitation and calcined at 300 ºC. All samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption system, and the catalytic activity focused on the CO oxidation. The influence of chelating dispersant on the performance of abatement of CO was pursued in this study. Apparently, the results showed that the chelating dispersant can influence the catalytic activity of CO abatement. An optimized ratio of dispersant can improve the performance, while excess dispersant lessens the surface area and catalytic performance. The series of Co(O) samples can easily donate the active oxygen since the labile Co–O bonding and indicated the preferential performance than both Co(A) and Co(F) samples. The nanorod Co(O)-II showed preferential for CO oxidation, T50 and T90 approached 96 and 127 ºC, respectively. Also, the favorable durability of Co(O)-II sample maintains 95% conversion still for 50 h at 130 ºC and does not emerge deactivation.

A series of Al2O3-ZrO2 (AZ-X) composite oxides with different ZrO2 contents were prepared by a chemical precipitation method. Ni-P/AZ-X catalysts were prepared by temperature-programmed reduction. The supports and catalysts were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET. The effects of support composition and P/Ni molar ratios on the catalytic performance of the catalysts were investigated by thiophene hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and pyridine hydrodenitrogenation (HDN). In comparison with Al2O3, Al2O3-ZrO2 (20 wt% ZrO2) composite oxide supported Ni-P catalyst exhibited higher activity and the activities of HDS and HDN increased by 7.5 % and 11.1 %, respectively. Studies of Ni-P/AZ-X catalysts with varying initial P/Ni molar ratios indicated that oxidic precursors with molar ratios of P/Ni = 2/1 yielded catalyst containing phase-pure Ni2P which exhibited optimal activity.

AbstractThe effect of Zn on the catalytic performance of ZSM-5 in the methanol-to-olefin conversion was investigated. The samples were characterised by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, FTIR, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and water, and Py-IR. The experimental results revealed Znmodified ZSM-5 to show a lower selectivity to light olefin at the higher reaction temperature of 520°C but a higher selectivity to light olefin at lower temperatures. As a comparison, the catalytic performance of Ca-modified ZSM-5 for the methanol conversion is also given. From the above results, it is concluded that Zn may play another role in the methanol conversion in addition to tuning the surface acidic property after modification.

The catalysts Ni/Al2O3and CaO modified Ni/Al2O3were prepared by impregnation method and applied for methanation of CO2. The catalysts were characterized by N2adsorption/desorption, temperature-programmed reduction of H2(H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2and H2(CO2-TPD and H2-TPD) techniques, respectively. TPR and XRD results indicated that CaO can effectively restrain the growth of NiO nanoparticles, improve the dispersion of NiO, and weaken the interaction between NiO and Al2O3. CO2-TPD and H2-TPD results suggested that CaO can change the environment surrounding of CO2and H2adsorption and thus the reactants on the Ni atoms can be activated more easily. The modified Ni/Al2O3showed better catalytic activity than pure Ni/Al2O3. Ni/CaO-Al2O3showed high CO2conversion especially at low temperatures compared to Ni/Al2O3, and the selectivity to CH4was very close to 1. The high CO2conversion over Ni/CaO-Al2O3was mainly caused by the surface coverage by CO2-derived species on CaO-Al2O3surface.

A series of new type acid catalyst samples based on mesoporous CaZr4(PO4)6(CZP) belonging to NZP family synthesized by sol-gel method was obtained by Al, La, B incorporation in CZP or by heteropoly acid H3PW12O7•xH2O(HPW) loading on CZP, and their acid catalytic activity and selectivity were investigated by using α-pinene isomerization as a probe reaction. The phase, pore structure and surface acidity of the catalyst samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 sorption and NH3 temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) respectively. The results showed that the surface acidity of CZP modified by elements incorporation and HPW loading was improved in a different extent. The conversion of α-pinene at 150 °C reached to 41 % over the catalyst sample noted as Al-CZP-0.15 in which the mole ratio of Al to Zr was 0.15. Under the same reaction conditions, the conversion of α-pinene was above 95 % over the CZP supported with 20-30wt. %HPW.
