Hydrogen production by oxidative methanol reforming on Pd/ZnO: Catalyst preparation and supporting materials

Pd and Pd–Zn alloy were supported on various supporting materials using impregnation, co-precipitation and microemulsion methods, and their catalytic performances in oxidative methanol reforming (OMR) were investigated. Pd/ZnO exhibited much higher selectivity than either Pd/Al₂O₃ or Pd/ZrO₂ in the OMR for hydrogen production. This was attributed to the presence of Pd–Zn alloy on the ZnO support. Elemental Pd on Al₂O₃ or ZrO₂ promotes methanol decomposition reaction and increases CO formation. Using a microemulsion method, a highly selective Pd/ZnO can be obtained with much lower Pd loading than that in samples prepared by co-precipitation. Modification of Al₂O₃ with ZnO produced a ZnAl₂O₄ phase, which was found to be a good support for the Pd/ZnO catalyst. Highly active and selective Pd/ZnO/ZnAl₂O₄ catalysts for the OMR reaction, containing much lower Pd loadings have been developed by impregnation of the supports with an aqueous solution of Pd(NO₃)₂ + Zn(NO₃)₂.

Enhanced CH4 sensing properties of Pd modified ZnO nanosheets

In this paper, pristine ZnO and Pd modified ZnO nanosheets have been successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal route and the subsequent calcination process. The composition, morphology and nanostructure of the as-obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The methane (CH₄) sensing properties of Pd/ZnO were compared with those of pure ZnO, and the materials showed the noticeable sensing capability when the loading amount of Pd was 1 at%. Moreover, the optimal working temperature of ZnO was reduced from 240 °C to 200 °C after loading Pd. The synthesized 1% Pd/ZnO nanocomposites not only showed the maximum response value 19.20 toward 5000 ppm CH₄ at 200 °C, but also exhibited the excellent selectivity and good repeatability. The improvement of CH₄ sensing performance by Pd nanoparticles could be attributed to the synergy effect with the spill-over effect and the nano-Schottky barriers.

Pd/Fe对-二氯苯的催化脱氯及其动力学

o-Dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) was dechlorinated by Pd/Fe powder in water through catalytic reduction. The dechlorination reaction is believed to take place on the surface site of the catalyst via a pseudo-first-order reaction. The final reduction product of o-DCB is benzene. The dechlorination rate increases with the increase of bulk loading of palladium due to the increase of both the surface loading of palladium and the total surface area. Dechlorination efficiency accounts for 90% at Pd/Fe mass ratio 0.02% and metal to solution ratio about 53.3g-L-1 in 120 minutes. Dechlorination is affected by the reaction temperature, pH, Pd/Fe ratio and the addition of Pd/Fe. Ea is found to be 102.5kJ.mol-1 in the temperature ra,nge of 287-313K.     

Selectivity controlling in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene on Tl-modified Pd catalyst

The selectivity and reactivity in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene catalyzed by Tl-modified 5 wt% Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts vary with amounts of Tl loading and with the reduction temperatures, that is, the main product was 1-butene and trans-2-butene for values of Tl loading of 0.5 and 2 in Tl/Pd atomic ratio, respectively, when the catalysts were reduced at 673 K. 1,3-butadiene was hydrogenated selectively towards 1-butene and trans-2-butene when the Tl modified 5 wt% Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst of Tl/Pd = 2 was reduced at 300 and 373 K or above, respectively. On the catalyst with Tl/Pd = 2 reduced at 373 K or above, the butenes formed are not hydrogenated to butane, even after a long reaction time. These results suggest the formation of Pd-Tl alloy or intermetallic compounds during the reduction procedure which is responsible for the selectivity controlling in the reaction. TPR and XRD results were in consistence with the reaction data.     

Liquid‐Phase Catalytic Hydrogenation of p‐Chlorobenzophenone to p‐Chlorobenzhydrol over a 5 % Pd/C Catalyst

The kinetics of the liquid‐phase catalytic hydrogenation of p‐chlorobenzophenone have been investigated over a 5 % Pd/C catalyst. The effects of hydrogen partial pressure (800–2200 kPa), catalyst loading (0.4–1.6 gm dm^–3), p‐chlorobenzophenone concentration (0.37–1.5 mol dm^–3), and temperature (303–313 K) were studied. A stirring speed > 20 rps has no effect on the initial rate of reaction. Effects of various catalysts (Pd/C, Pd/BaSO₄, Pd/CaCO₃, Pt/C, Raney nickel) and solvents (2‐propanol, methanol, dimethylformamide, toluene, xylene, hexane) on the hydrogenation of p‐chlorobenzophenone were also investigated. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to hydrogen partial pressure and catalyst loading, and zero order with respect to p‐chlorobenzophenone concentration. Several Langmuir‐Hinshelwood type models were considered and the experimental data fitted to a model involving reaction between adsorbed p‐chlorobenzophenone and hydrogen in the liquid phase.     

Methanol Synthesis from CO2 Under Atmospheric Pressure over Supported Pd Catalysts

Pd/ZnO catalyst exhibits high activity and selectivity for methanol synthesis in the hydrogenation of CO₂ under atmospheric pressure. PdZn alloys are formed upon reduction of the Pd/ZnO catalyst at high temperatures. The catalytic activity and selectivity are greatly enhanced upon the formation of such PdZn alloys. The turnover frequency and selectivity of methanol formation are markedly larger than those of a Cu/ZnO type control catalyst.

A Comparative Study of Partial Oxidation of Methanol over Zinc Oxide Supported Metallic Catalysts

Au/ZnO, Pd/ZnO and Au–Pd/ZnO catalysts were prepared by PVP-stabilized reduction method by C₂H₅OH. The catalysts have been used successfully for hydrogen production by partial oxidation of methanol (POM). The influence of Au, Pd and Au–Pd on the performance of supported catalysts for POM has been investigated. The prepared samples were characterized by ICP, XRD, BET, TPR and TPD. The results show that the Au–Pd/ZnO catalyst are more active and exhibit higher hydrogen selectively compared to the Pd/ZnO and Au/ZnO catalyst, the methanol conversion of 99.5% and hydrogen selectivity of 65.6% were obtained at 573 K. The enhanced activity and stability of the bimetallic Au–Pd/ZnO catalyst has been explained in terms of the higher dispersion and basic density, smaller particles of gold and synergetic effect between gold and palladium.     

Methanol synthesis over Pd/SiO2 with narrow Pd size distribution prepared by using MCM-41 as a support precursor

All silicious MCM-41 was investigated as a support or a support precursor for Pd/SiO₂ and prepared catalysts were tested for methanol synthesis from CO and H₂. The methods of Pd loading on the MCM-41 were impregnation, seed impregnation and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). For both impregnations, most Pd existed outside of the pore as large particles, and only a small part of Pd was inserted into the pore of MCM-41 retaining the initial structure. On the contrary, in the catalyst prepared by CVD method, the MCM-41 structure was completely destroyed to become amorphous SiO₂. Yet the average Pd particle size in this catalyst was smaller and its distribution was narrower than those of the catalysts prepared by impregnation methods. In the methanol synthesis from CO hydrogenation the catalyst prepared by CVD showed higher methanol selectivity than other MCM-41-derived catalysts. This result was considered to be due to the more uniform distribution of the Pd particle size.

NO reduction by CH4 over Pd/Co-sulfated zirconia catalysts

A series of sulfated zirconia supported Pd/Co catalysts was synthesized by the sol–gel method and examined for NO_x reduction by methane. The NO conversion increased up to a Co/S ratio of 0.43, and then decreased at a higher Co loading (Co/S = 0.95). Sulfate content was also essential for obtaining high selectivity to molecular nitrogen. A catalyst loaded with 0.06 wt.% Pd, 2.1 wt.% Co and 2.1 wt.% S (Pd/Co-SZ-2) exhibited remarkable performance under lean conditions and displayed stability in a long-term durability test using a synthetic reaction mixture containing 10% water vapor. This catalyst exhibited the highest sulfur retention most probably as cobalt sulfide. Besides, the catalytic oxidation of NO to NO_y groups was confirmed by FT-IR, in agreement with the general mechanism for the SCR of NO by hydrocarbons. In the absence of oxygen in the feed stream, the catalyst was highly active for NO reduction with methane. IR stretching bands assigned to N₂O and adsorbed nitro groups were identified upon adsorbing NO on Pd/Co-SZ-2. This indicates that under rich conditions disproportionation of NO to N₂O and NO₂ occurs and confirms that the formation of NO₂ species is an essential step for NO reduction by CH₄.     

Continuous mode linoleic acid hydrogenation on Pd/sibunit catalyst

Catalytic hydrogenation of linoleic acid and oleic acid to stearic acid over palladium on mesoporous carbon sibunit (Pd/sibunit) catalyst was studied in a continuous trickle-bed reactor with the weight hourly space velocity 5.4 h⁻¹ at 120°C and 30 bar using tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) as reactor feed. Stearic acid preparation using TOFA as a raw material is of industrial importance. Pd/sibunit catalysts with spherical particle shape of the size 1.62 mm were synthesized with the palladium loadings 0.5, 1, and 2 wt %. The metal dispersion (%), metal particle size (nm), as well as metallic surface area (m²/g metal) of the three synthesized Pd/Sibunit samples were measured by CO chemisorption. The Pd/C catalysts were tested in linoleic acid hydrogenation, showing promising behavior in terms of activity, selectivity and stability to be used in fixed bed applications. The product stream from the fixed bed reactor was saved and analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and direct current plasma (DCP) spectroscopy. The catalyst activity increased with the Pd loading. The lowest metal loading of 0.5 wt % gave the least prone to initial deactivation and thus the most stable catalyst. This catalyst can be recommended for farther pilot testing.

Difference in the reactivity of acetaldehyde intermediates in the dehydrogenation of ethanol over supported Pd catalysts

Catalytic performances of supported Pd catalysts for the dehydrogenation of ethanol were greatly modified upon the formation of Pd alloy phases. Over Pd–Zn, Pd–Ga and Pd–In alloys, acetaldehyde was selectively produced at lower conversion levels. With the increased conversion level, ethyl acetate was produced at the expense of acetaldehyde. The selectivities for the ethyl acetate formation exceeded that over a Cu/ZnO catalyst. Over metallic Pd, the decomposition of ethanol, C₂H₅OH → CO + CH₄ + H₂, occurred to a considerable extent. It was shown that the reactivity of acetaldehyde species over the Pd alloys was markedly different from that over metallic Pd. Over the Pd alloys, acetaldehyde species were stabilized and transformed into ethyl acetate by the nucleophilic addition of ethanol. By contrast, over metallic Pd, aldehyde species were rapidly decarbonylated to methane and carbon monoxide. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Selective hydrogenation of 4-isobutylacetophenone over a sodium-promoted Pd/C catalyst

The effect of sodium promotion on the selective hydrogenation of 4-isobutylacetophenone, 4-IBAP, was investigated over a Pd/C catalyst. A precipitation and deposition method was used to prepare the catalyst, and sodium was promoted on the Pd/C catalyst via post-impregnation while varying the sodium content. The sodium-promoted Pd/C catalyst resulted in a significantly improved yield greater than 96% of the desired product, 1-(4-isobutylphenyl) ethanol (4-IBPE), compared with the non-patented literature results under a mild hydrogenation condition. A detailed hydrogenation network over the Pd/C catalyst was suggested. The reaction mechanism for the yield and selectivity enhancement of 4-IBPE induced-by the promoted Pd/C was elucidated in relation to the geometric and electronic effects of reactant molecules in the microporous support depending on the reaction steps.
