Effects of Supports and Promoter Ag on Pd Catalysts for Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene

SiO2, a-Al2O3, g-Al2O3, ZrO2 and CeO2 were used as supports and Ag as promoter to study their effects on Pd catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. The catalysts were prepared by impregnated synthesis and characterized by XRD, BET and TEM. The catalytic reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. Overall, the low specific surface area supports were better to increase the ethylene selectivity at high conversion rate of acetylene. Among the four Pd catalysts on low specific surface area supports, the catalyst on low specific surface area SiO2 (LSA-SiO2) retained a high ethylene selectivity even at complete conversion, while the other catalysts showed significant decrease in the selectivity at complete conversion. The performance of Pd/LSA-SiO2 was important to decrease the loss of ethylene in selective hydrogenation of trace acetylene in ethylene. Addition of Ag to Pd/LSA-SiO2 significantly decreased the formation of ethane, C4 alkenes and green oil, and improved the ethylene selectivity to 90% when Pd:Ag=1:1 and 1:3(w). When the ratio of Pd to Ag was above 1, the activity of Pd-Ag bimetallic catalyst was similar to that of Pd monometallic catalyst, and the selectivity of ethylene increased with increasing of amount of Ag. When the ratio of Pd to Ag was below 1, the activity of bimetallic catalyst decreased with increasing of amount of Ag, while the selectivity of ethylene was kept unchanged. The optimum temperature was 200~230℃ for 0.02%(w)Pd-0.02%(w)Ag/LSA-SiO2 to give a high ethylene selectivity and low formation of green oil.     

Ethylene selectivity variation in acetylene hydrogenation reactor with the hydrogen/acetylene ratio at the reactor inlet

Variation in the selectivity of ethylene produced by acetylene hydrogenation in an integral reactor was analyzed as a function of the hydrogen/acetylene ratio in the reaction stream at the reactor inlet. The analyses were made for two sample catalysts, which showed different dependence of the ethylene selectivity on the reactant composition. Even a small mismatch between the hydrogen/acetylene ratio at the reactor inlet and the ratio for converted reactants caused a large change in the ethylene selectivity along the reactor position, particularly when the conversion was high. The results of this study indicate two important factors to be considered in the design and operation of acetylene hydrogenation process: the hydrogen/acetylene ratio in the reactor inlet should be controlled close to the ratio for converted reactants; and catalysts showing high ethylene selectivity over a wide range of the hydrogen/ acetylene ratio are required for the design of a highly selective hydrogenation process. This paper is dedicated to Professor Wha Young Lee on the occasion     

Performance of Ni-added Pd-Ag/Al2O3 catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene

Effects of Ni addition on the performance of Pd-Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene were investigated. Ni-added Pd-Ag catalysts showed higher conversions than Ni-free Pd-Ag catalyst under hydrogen-deficient reaction conditions, hydrogen/acetylene <2.0, due to the spillover of hydrogen from reduced Ni to Pd and the suppression of hydrogen penetration into the Pd bulk phase, which enriched the Pd surface with hydrogen. Ethylene selectivity was also increased by Ni addition because the amounts of surface hydrogen originating from the Pd bulk phase, which was responsible for the full hydrogenation of ethylene to ethane, were decreased due to the presence of Ni at the sub-surface of Pd-Ag particles. Added Ni also modified the geometric nature of the Pd surface by blocking large ensembles of Pd into isolated ones, which eventually improved ethylene selectivity.     

Selective hydrogenation of acetylene on Pd/SiO2 catalysts promoted with Ti, Nb and Ce oxides

Transition-metal oxides added to Pd/SiO₂ improve significantly the activity and the ethylene selectivity of the catalyst in acetylene hydrogenation, which is caused by the interaction between the oxides and the Pd surface similar to the case of the oxide-supported catalysts. It has been confirmed through experiments that metal oxides spread on and modify both geometrically and electronically the Pd surface after the catalyst is reduced at 500°C. Such a behavior of metal oxides in the catalyst is correlated well with their promotional effect on the catalyst performance. That is, the oxides on the Pd surface retard the sintering of the dispersed Pd particles, suppress the adsorption of ethylene in the multiply-bound mode, and facilitate the desorption of ethylene produced by acetylene hydrogenation. Among the three metal oxides examined in this study, Ti oxide is found to have the most promotional effect.     

Competition of C-C bond formation and C-H bond formation For acetylene hydrogenation on transition metals: A density functional theory study

Selective hydrogenation of acetylene is an important reaction for production of polymer grade ethylene. The green oil formation has great influence on the selectivity and activity of acetylene selective hydrogenation. This article describes a density functional theory study on the C + H hydrogenation reaction and C + C coupling reaction on the (111) surface of Ag, Cu, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ir. The activity of acetylene selective hydrogenation is examined by the effective barrier for ethylene formation. A comparison between the reaction barrier of ethylene hydrogenation and desorption is used to identify the selectivity for ethylene formation. The barriers of three pathways for 1,3-butadiene formation suggest that acetylene and vinyl coupling reaction is the favorable pathway. The stability of catalysts is evaluated by the selectivity of 1,3-butadiene, which follows the order of Pt(111) > Ir(111) > Rh(111) > Pd(111) > Cu(111) > Ag(111). Furthermore, the relationship between acetylene adsorption energy and effective barrier of ethylene formation and 1,3-butadiene formation has been established to well understand the catalytic properties of different metals. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 65: 1059–1066, 2019     

Effect of Ag addition on the properties of Pd–Ag/TiO2 catalysts containing different TiO2 crystalline phases

Anatase and rutile TiO₂ were used for preparation of the TiO₂ supported Pd and Pd–Ag catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. It was found that Pd/TiO₂-anatase exhibited higher acetylene conversion and ethylene selectivity than rutile TiO₂ supported ones. However, addition of Ag to Pd/TiO₂-anatase catalyst resulted in lower ethylene selectivity while that of Pd/TiO₂-rutile increased. It is suggested that Ag addition suppressed the beneficial effect of the Ti³⁺ sites presented on the anatase TiO₂ during selective acetylene hydrogenation whereas without Ti³⁺, Ag promoted ethylene selectivity by blocking sites for over-hydrogenation of ethylene to ethane.

Pilot tests of a catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene

Pilot tests of SGA-2M promoted Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene are performed on an industrial ethane-ethylene fraction in a system of two serially arranged adiabatic flow reactors.

Effective modification of Pd surfaces with TiO2 promoters using selective chemical vapor deposition and the effect on catalytic performance improvement

In this paper, we describe a novel method for selectively attaching TiO₂ promoters on Pd surfaces in Pd/SiO₂ catalysts using selective chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Ti was selectively deposited on Pd active sites over a SiO₂ support under a hydrogen atmosphere when titanium tetraisopropoxide was used as a Ti precursor. The Pd–Ti/SiO₂ catalyst modified by CVD exhibits approximately 1.8 times higher ethylene selectivity than the un-modified Pd/SiO₂ catalyst in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene due to the effective geometric modification of the Pd surface, which is beneficial to ethylene selectivity, by the selectively deposited Ti species.

Acetylene Hydrogenation on Au-Based Catalysts

Hydrogenation of acetylene has been investigated on Au/TiO₂, Pd/TiO₂ and Au-Pd/TiO₂ catalysts at high acetylene conversion levels. The Au/TiO₂ catalyst (avg. particle size: 4.6 nm) synthesized by the temperature-programmed reduction-oxidation of an Au-phosphine complex on TiO₂ showed a remarkably high selectivity to ethylene formation even at 100% acetylene conversion. Au/TiO₂ prepared by the conventional incipient wet impregnation method (avg. particle size: 30 nm), on the other hand, showed negligible activity for acetylene hydrogenation. Although the Au catalysts showed a high selectivity for ethylene, the acetylene conversion activity and catalyst stability were inferior to the Pd-based catalysts. Au-Pd catalysts prepared by the redox method showed high acetylene conversions as well as high selectivity for ethylene. Interestingly Au-Pd catalysts prepared by depositing Pd via the incipient wetness method on Au/TiO₂ showed very poor selectivity (comparable to mono-metallic Pd catalysts) for ethylene. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) showed that while the redox method produced bimetallic Au-Pd catalysts, the latter method produced individual Pd and Au particles on the support.     

Investigation of the preparation methodologies of Pd-Cu single atom alloy catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene

Galvanic replacement, co-impregnation and sequential impregnation have been employed to prepare Pd-Cu bimetallic catalysts with less than 1 wt-% Cu and ca. 0.03 wt-% Pd for selective hydrogenation of acetylene in excess ethylene. High angle annular dark field-scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and H₂ chemisorption results confirmed that Pd-Cu single-atom alloy structures were constructed in all three bimetallic catalysts. Catalytic tests indicated that when the conversion of acetylene was above 99%, the selectivity of ethylene of these three single atom alloy catalysts was still more than 73%. Furthermore, the single atom alloy catalyst prepared by sequential incipient wetness impregnation was found to have the best stability among the three procedures used.     

Size-controlled Pd nanoparticles supported on α-Al2O3 as heterogeneous catalyst for selective hydrogenation of acetylene

Size-controlled Pd nanoparticles （PdNPs） were synthesized in aqueous solution, using sodium car-boxymethyl cellulose as the stabilizer. Size-controlled PdNPs were supported onα-Al2O3 by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The PdNPs onα-Al2O3 support were in a narrow particle size distribution in the range of 1-6 nm. A series of PdNPs/α-Al2O3 catalysts were used for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene-rich stream. The results show that PdNPs/α-Al2O3 catalyst with 0.03%（by mass） Pd loading is a very effective and sta-ble catalyst. With promoter Ag added, ethylene selectivity is increased from 41.0%to 63.8%at 100 ＆#176;C. Comparing with conventional Pd-Ag/α-Al2O3 catalyst, PdNPs-Ag/α-Al2O3 catalyst has better catalytic performance in acety-lene hydrogenation and shows good prospects for industrial application.     

Heat transfer control of selectivity in acetylene hydrogenation

Ethylene, produced by steam cracking of hydrocarbons, contains acetylene, which is hydrogenated to purify the ethylene for polymerization. The process is low temperature, < 80°C, and catalysts are typically peripherally deposited 0.03% Pd/Al₂O₃. Industrial experience, as well as experimentation at WPI, is that ethane yields are 100 to 150% of the acetylene in the feed at about 70% conversion. The reason for the problem is that catalyst pellet temperatures are far higher than gas stream temperatures, in order to transfer heat generated by reaction through the boundary layer to the gas stream.

原位红外光谱法研究Pd-Ag/Al2O3和Pd/ Al2O3乙炔加氢催化剂

以一氧化碳和乙炔为探针分子,采用原位红外光谱技术研究了Pd-Ag/ Al₂O₃和Pd/ Al₂O₃催化剂上乙炔加氢反应以及催化剂本身的表面形态,动态考察了乙炔加氢的气相反应行为、CO吸附以及催化剂表面吸附物种的变化。结果表明,在Pd-Ag/ Al₂O₃催化体系中,由于Ag的加入而受到几何效应和电子效应的共同影响,引起了催化剂表面形态的改变从而改变了催化剂的性能。另外,乙炔加氢反应会导致钯催化剂表面形成由长分子链的饱和烃组成的碳氢化合物层,该碳氢化合物层有可能是加氢反应形成的绿油。     

不同Pd/Ag配比Pd-Ag/Al2O3催化乙炔加氢微观反应动力学分析

乙炔加氢是乙烯工业中的重要精制反应。以α-Al₂O₃作为载体,采用分步等量浸渍法制备了不同Pd/Ag配比的加氢催化剂,使用N₂物理吸附、XRD、ICP、XPS、TEM和CO化学吸附等手段表征催化剂的结构和组成,根据正交实验设计方案进行动力学实验,建立了微观反应动力学模型,并根据动力学模拟结果和动力学参数值的变化分析了Ag助剂含量对乙炔加氢反应动力学的影响。研究结果表明,以Pd-Ag催化剂上碳二加氢的DFT计算结果为基础参数来源,经过吸脱附步骤活化能的优化,微观反应动力学模型可以很好地模拟不同Pd/Ag配比催化剂上的乙炔加氢反应动力学结果;在所研究范围内,各催化剂上加氢反应的表面最丰物种皆为C₂H₄^*,速率控制步骤为乙烯基加氢,不会随着Ag含量的不同发生变化;但是Ag含量的增加显著降低了氢气脱附活化能,提高了乙烯的选择性,这可能与Ag含量的提高增加了催化剂表面Ag和Pd之间的电子转移现象有关。
