Faujasite (FAU), ZSM-5 (MFI), beta (BEA) and mordenite (MOR) zeolites were admitted to a variety of chemical treatments accompanied by surfactant templating strategy, aiming to introduce the intracrystalline mesoporosity effectively. The resulting materials were tested as solid acid catalysts for esterification of the oleic acid as a common model impurities found in bio-oil feedstoks. It was found that the esterification of oleic acid can be enhanced by the presence of strong acid sites in zeolites and their improved accessibility. Overall, mesostructured FAU zeolite demonstrated an improved catalytic performance as a result of increasing accessibility of the zeolite active sites.

Mild reaction conditions (nearly room temperature and atmospheric CO2 pressure) for the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates were investigated applying MIL-101(Cr) as a catalyst. The MIL-101 catalyst contains strong acid sites, which promote the ring-opening of the epoxide substrate. Moreover, the high surface area, enabling the adsorption of more CO2 (substrate), combined with a large pore size of the catalyst is essential for the catalytic performance. Additionally, epoxide substrates bearing electron-withdrawing substituents or having a low boiling point demonstrated an excellent conversion towards the cyclic carbonates. MIL-101(Cr) for the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with epoxides is demonstrated to be a robust and stable catalyst able to be re-used at least five times without loss in activity.

In the current study, a facile and rapid synthesis approach for a SSZ-13 catalyst using choline chloride (CC) as a template was proposed, and the catalytic performance for the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction was examined. With a proper amount of CC addition (i.e., m(CC)/m(SiO2)=0.14), uniform and homogeneously distributed cubic SSZ-13 crystals were obtained within 4 h with lower aggregation. The synthesized catalyst demonstrated excellent porous features with a total specific surface area and mesopore volume of 641.71 m2·g−1 and 0.04 cm3·g−1, respectively. The optimized strong and weak acid sites on SSZ-13 were obtained by regulating the m(CC)/m(SiO2) ratio. The less strong acid sites and a larger amount of weak acid sites in the synthesized catalyst were conducive to the catalytic performance of the MTO reaction under a lower reaction temperature (450 °C). The appropriate acidity and well-developed pore structure of synthesized SSZ-13 could also slow down the carbon deposition rate and, thus, significantly improve the catalytic lifetime of the catalyst. The methanol conversion rate and initial selectivity of light olefin using the synthesized catalyst could maintain over 95% and 50%, respectively, and a lifetime of 172 min was achieved. Although the low olefin selectivity of the synthesized SSZ-13 catalyst was slightly lower than that of the purchased one, its desirable features were thought to have good potential for industrial application.

Titanium modified FeMgOx catalysts with different precursors were prepared by coprecipitation method with microwave thermal treatment. The iron precursor is a key factor affecting the surface active component. The catalyst using FeSO4 and Mg(NO3)2 as precursors exhibited enhanced catalytic activity from 225 to 400 °C, with a maximum NOx conversion of 100%. Iron oxides existed as γ-Fe2O3 in this catalyst. They exhibited highly enriched surface active oxygen and surface acidity, which were favorable for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction. Besides, it showed advantage in surface area, spherical particle distribution and pores connectivity. Amorphous iron-magnesium-titanium mixed oxides were the main phase of the catalysts using Fe(NO3)3 as a precursor. This catalyst exhibited a narrow T90 of 200/250–350 °C. Side reactions occurred after 300 °C producing NOx, which reduced the NOx conversion. The strong acid sites inhibited the side reactions, and thus improved the catalytic performance above 300 °C. The weak acid sites appeared below 200 °C, and had a great impact on the low-temperature catalytic performance. Nevertheless, amorphous iron-magnesium-titanium mixed oxides blocked the absorption and activation between NH3 and the surface strong acid sites, which was strengthened on the γ-Fe2O3 surface.

Compared with Pt/TiO2, tungsten-loaded Pt–W/TiO2 catalysts exhibit improved activity for NO and soot oxidation. Using catalysts prepared by an incipient wetness method, the tungsten loading effect was investigated using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), CO pulse chemisorption, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), and pyridine Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Loading tungsten on the Pt/TiO2 catalyst reduced the platinum particle size, as revealed in TEM images. CO pulse chemisorption showed that platinum was covered with tungsten and the dispersion of platinum decreased when 5 wt.% or more of tungsten was loaded. The NH3-TPD and pyridine-FT-IR results demonstrated that the number of strong acid sites and Brønsted acid sites in the catalyst were increased by the presence of tungsten. Therefore, a catalyst containing an appropriate amount of tungsten increased the dispersion of platinum, thereby increasing the number of active sites for NO and soot oxidation, and increased the acidity of the catalyst, thereby increasing the activity of soot oxidation by NO2

Catalytic hydrolysis decomposition of dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2) in the presence of water vapor and oxygen was studied over a series of solid acids using a fixed-bed reactor. Solid acid MoO3/ZrO2 displayed the highest activity, over which the conversion of CCl2F2 reached 100 % at 250 °C. CO2 was the main-product and the selectivity to CClF3 remained lower than 28.0 %. CO was not detected as by-product. The decomposition activity depended on the calcination temperature and the ZrO2 content. The activity of solid acid MoO3/ZrO2 correlates well with its specific surface area and the amount of medium-strong acid sites on the surface. To explain the reaction mechanism for CCl2F2 catalytic decomposition over MoO3/ZrO2, a surface intermediate, Osurface-CF2-Osurface is proposed.

ABSTRACT The minimized diffusion limitation and completely exposed strong acid sites of the ultrathin zeolites make it an industrially important catalyst especially for converting bulky molecules. However, the structure-controlled and large-scale synthesis of the material is still a challenge. In this work, the direct synthesis of the single-layer MWW zeolite was demonstrated by using hexamethyleneimine and amphiphilic organosilane as structure-directing agents. Characterization results confirmed the formation of the single-layer MWW zeolite with high crystallinity and excellent thermal/hydrothermal stability. The formation mechanism was rigorously revealed as the balanced rates between the nucleation/growth of the MWW nanocrystals and the incorporation of the organosilane into the MWW unit cell, which is further supported by the formation of MWW nanosheets with tunable thickness via simply changing synthesis conditions. The commercially available reagents, well-controlled structure and the high catalytic stability for the alkylation of benzene with 1-dodecene make it an industrially important catalyst.

Effect Of Support

We report the role of the acidity of support during the selectivity hydrogenolysis of glycerol over supported bimetallic palladium–ruthenium (PdRu) catalysts. The PdRu nanoparticles were supported on a series of metal oxides and zeolitic supports via the modified impregnation method and tested for the liquid-phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol using gaseous hydrogen. The relative acid site densities of selected catalysts were determined by ammonia temperature-programmed desorption and pyridine desorption experiments. Based on these studies, we report a direct correlation between the catalytic activity (conversion and 1,2 propane diol yield) and two different acid sites (strong acid sites and very strong acid sites). Besides zeolite-supported catalysts, TiO 2 supported PdRu nanoparticles exhibit moderate catalytic activity; however, this catalyst shows high selectivity for the desired C–O bond cleavage to produce C3 products over the undesired C–C bond cleavage to produce < C3 products. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Science to enable the circular economy’.

Catalyst Lifetime

In DME to olefins (DTO) reaction, SAPO-34 catalyst with CHA structure is well known to be one of the catalysts with good performance. However, the SAPO-34 catalyst is easily deactivated due to coke deposition during DTO reaction. In this study, MeAPSO-34 catalysts (Me=Mn, Co) were prepared for the increase of the catalyst lifetime and their properties have been characterized by XRD and SEM. The DTO reaction was carried out over the MeAPSO-34 catalysts, and the results were compared with the SAPO-34 catalyst. The lifetime of MeAPSO-34 catalysts with high DME conversion and selectivity of light olefins was prolonged than that of the SAPO-34 catalyst. It may be concluded that the decrease of strong acid sites, which were responsible for the formation of coke, affect on the lifetime of the MeAPSO-34 catalysts. In addition, the CoAPSO-34 catalyst with a Co additive showed the best performance in terms of the catalytic lifetime and the selectivity to light olefins.

AbstractHydrogen-forms of <2 µm fractions of six bentonites of various Fe contents were prepared by H+→OH-→H+ ion exchange using resins. Potentiometric titration curves revealed that the number of strong acid sites varied and accounted for 60-95% of the total acidity in the freshly prepared H-forms. The number of strong acid sites decreased and that of the weak acid sites increased on ageing. The process of autotransformation in aqueous dispersion at 90~ was completed within four days. Layer-charge distributions of all samples were inhomogeneous with layer charges from 0.25-0.39 Eq/unit O10(OH)2. Oxalate pretreatment of the samples resulted in changes in the layer-charge distribution due to the removal of readily soluble phases which may have blocked exchange sites. After autotransformation, the alkylammonium exchange method revealed inhomogeneous charge density distributions; the fraction of layers of the highest charge decreased. Comparison of total CEC obtained from potentiometric curves and interlamellar CEC calculated from the mean layer charge confirmed attack of protons from particle edges. However, for several samples the structural attack may also occur from the interlayer space. Autotransformation of the Hsmectites decreased the mean layer charge. Protons probably attack the Mg(O,OH)6 octahedra preferentially during the autotransformation.
