η-Al2O3与γ-Al2O3在CS2催化水解反应中的性能比较

通过制备高纯度的前驱体湃铝石获得了η-Al₂O₃材料,采用XRD验证了η-Al₂O₃与γ-Al₂O₃在晶相结构上的差异,比较了两者的表面形貌、织构及酸碱性能,结果显示,η-Al₂O₃与γ-Al₂O₃的比表面积相当,但η-Al₂O₃具有更弱的弱碱位和较少的强碱位,并拥有丰富的中等强度酸性位。将η-Al₂O₃与γ-Al₂O₃作为催化剂应用于CS₂水解反应,结果表明,在(200~450) ℃测试温度范围内,η-Al₂O₃催化剂对CS₂的水解活性始终优于γ-Al₂O₃,两种催化剂上CS₂反应的浓度效应也明显不同,推测与它们的酸碱性质影响了对CS₂的吸附能力有关,导致两者催化CS₂水解反应遵循了不同的机制。     

Interactions NO—CO and O2—NO—CO on CuCo2O4/γ-Al2O3 and on γ-Al2O3- and CuCo2O4/γ-Al2O3-supported Pt, Rh and Pt—Rh catalysts, a transient response study

The interactions NO—CO and O₂—NO—CO have been studied onCuCo₂O₄γ-Al₂O₃ and on γ-Al₂O₃- and CuCo₂O₄γ-Al₂O₃-supported Pt, Rh and Pt—Rh catalysts. The deposition of noble metals (Pt, Rh and Pt—Rh) on CuCo₂O₄γ-Al₂O₃ instead of γ-Al₂O₃ is beneficial in: lowering the temperature at which maximum N₂O is formed and decreasing the maximum N₂O concentration attained; lowering the onset temperature of NO to N₂ reduction, and increasing the N₂ selectivity; preserving the activity towards NO to N₂ reduction on a higher level following the concentration step NO + COO₂+ NO + CO and changing the conditions from stoichiometric to oxidizing (50% excess of oxidants). The reason for this behaviour of the CuCo₂O₄γ-Al₂O₃-based noble metal catalysts is the formation (reversible) of a reduced surface layer on the CuCo₂O₄ supported spinel under the conditions of a stoichiometric NO + CO mixture.     

Pt/Pt-Ce/γ-Al2O3催化氧化甲苯研究

通过等体积浸渍法制备单贵金属Pt/γ-Al₂O₃和双金属Pt-Ce/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂,考察Ce对催化剂活性的影响,确定催化剂最优配比。结果表明,当Pt的负载量为质量分数0.5%时,Pt/γ-Al₂O₃催化活性最高;当Pt的负载量为质量分数0.2%,Ce的负载量为质量分数1.0%时,Pt-Ce/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的催化活性最高。Pt-Ce/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的甲苯转化率高于Pt/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂。随着Pt负载量增大,催化剂孔容、孔径减小。粉体式催化剂性能优于整体式催化剂,但差别不大;Ce的添加有助于催化剂活性的提升。     

Effect of La on the thermal stability of Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalytic membranes

Lanthanum-doped Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ and Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ membranes were prepared by sol-gel methods. The thermal stability of the unsupported Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ and La/Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ membranes was investigated with BET (including average pore size, pore volume and BET surface area), XRD, and DTA techniques. The average pore size of the Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ membranes increased sharply after sintering at temperatures higher than 1000°C. Addition of 3 mol% lanthanum can raise the temperature of the γ-Al₂O₃ to-Al₂O₃ phase transformation significantly. This improves the thermal stability of the Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ catalytic membranes.     

Influence of CO2 and H2O on NOx storage and reduction on a Pt–Ba/γ-Al2O3 catalyst

In this paper, the effect of CO₂ and H₂O on NO_x storage and reduction over a Pt–Ba/γ-Al₂O₃ (1 wt.% Pt and 30 wt.% Ba) catalyst is shown. The experimental results reveal that in the presence of CO₂ and H₂O, NO_x is stored on BaCO₃ sites only. Moreover, H₂O inhibits the NO oxidation capability of the catalyst and no NO₂ formation is observed. Only 16% of the total barium is utilized in NO storage. The rich phase shows 95% selectivity towards N₂ as well as complete regeneration of stored NO. In the presence of CO₂, NO is oxidized into NO₂ and more NO_x is stored as in the presence of H₂O, resulting in 30% barium utilization. Bulk barium sites are inactive in NO_x trapping in the presence of CO₂·NH₃ formation is seen in the rich phase and the selectivity towards N₂ is 83%. Ba(NO₃)₂ is always completely regenerated during the subsequent rich phase. In the absence of CO₂ and H₂O, both surface and bulk barium sites are active in NO_x storage. As lean/rich cycling proceeds, the selectivity towards N₂ in the rich phase decreases from 82% to 47% and the N balance for successive lean/rich cycles shows incomplete regeneration of the catalyst. This incomplete regeneration along with a 40% decrease in the Pt dispersion and BET surface area, explains the observed decrease in NO_x storage.

Surface properties and reactivity of Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalysts for NO reduction by C3H6: Influences of calcination temperatures and additives

The influences of calcination temperatures and additives for 10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts on the surface properties and reactivity for NO reduction by C₃H₆ in the presence of excess oxygen were investigated. The results of XRD and XPS show that the 10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts calcined below 973 K possess highly dispersed surface and bulk CuO phases. The 10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ and 10 wt.% Mn–10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts calcined at 1073 K possess a CuAl₂O₄ phase with a spinel-type structure. In addition, the 10 wt.% La–10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst calcined at 1073 K possesses a bulk CuO phase. The result of NO reduction by C₃H₆ shows that the CuAl₂O₄ is a more active phase than the highly dispersed and bulk CuO phase. However, the 10 wt.% Mn–10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst calcined at 1073 K possesses significantly lower reactivity for NO reduction than the 10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst calcined at 1073 K, although these catalysts possess the same CuAl₂O₄ phase. The low reactivity for NO reduction for 10 wt.% Mn–10 wt.% Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst calcined at 1073 K is attributed to the formation of less active CuAl₂O₄ phase with high aggregation and preferential promotion of C₃H₆ combustion to CO_x by MnO₂. The engine dynamometer test for NO reduction shows that the C₃H₆ is a more effective reducing agent for NO reduction than the C₂H₅OH. The maximum reactivity for NO reduction by C₃H₆ is reached when the NO/C₃H₆ ratio is one.     

Deactivation studies over NiO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts for partial oxidation of methane to syngas

Two types of NiO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by the impregnation and the sol–gel method were used for the partial oxidation of methane to syngas at 850°C (GHSV1.8×10⁵ lkg⁻¹ h⁻¹). The effects of the carbon deposition, the loss and sintering of nickel and the phase transformation of γ-Al₂O₃ support on the catalytic performance during 80 h POM reaction were investigated with a series of characterization such as XRD, BET, AAS, TG, and XPS. The results indicated that the carbon deposition and the loss and sintering of nickel could not cause the serious decrease of catalytic performance over NiO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst during the short-time reaction. However, the slow process of the support γ-Al₂O₃ phase transforming into -Al₂O₃ could slowly decrease the performance of NiO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts. Aimed at the reasons of the deactivation, an improved catalyst was obtained by the complexing agent-assisted sol–gel method.     

CO气相偶联合成草酸二甲酯Pd/α-Al2O3催化剂失活与再利用

作为合成气制乙二醇关键步骤之一,CO与亚硝酸甲酯合成草酸二甲酯备受关注。综述了近年来CO气相偶联合成草酸二甲酯Pd/α-Al₂O₃催化剂失活与再利用研究进展,探讨催化剂再利用工艺存在的问题,指出应根据在工业应用中出现的问题对Pd/α-Al₂O₃催化剂进行失活研究,在此基础上开发针对性的再生工艺;钯催化剂回收方面萃取法和吸附法逐渐成为研究重点,高效、低耗、短流程绿色工艺的开发是失活钯催化剂再利用的发展方向。     

Ce1−xCuxO2−x/Al2O3/FeCrAl catalysts for catalytic combustion of methane

A series of the Ce_1−xCu_xO_2−x/Al₂O₃/FeCrAl catalysts (x = 0–1) were prepared. The structure of the catalysts was characterized using XRD, SEM and H₂-TPR. The catalytic activity of the catalysts for the combustion of methane was evaluated. The results indicated that in the Ce_1−xCu_xO_2−x/Al₂O₃/FeCrAl catalysts the surface phase structure were the Ce_1−xCu_xO_2−x solid solution, -Al₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃. The surface particle shape and size were different with the variety of the molar ratio of Ce to Cu in the Ce_1−xCu_xO_2−x solid solution. The Cu component of the Ce_1−xCu_xO_2−x/Al₂O₃/FeCrAl catalysts played an important role to the catalytic activity for the methane combustion. There were the stronger interaction among the Ce_1−xCu_xO_2−x solid solution and the Al₂O₃ washcoats and the FeCrAl support.     

Origin of transient species present on the surface of a PdO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst during the methane combustion reaction

Operando DRIFTS was applied to the study of the evolution of surface species formed on a Pd (2 wt.%)/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst in various conditions. No differences were observed as a function of the initial oxidation state of palladium. Formates/carbonates species were identified at low temperature (<400 °C) and disappeared when CO₂ production started. These species come from the Pd-catalyzed interaction of CO with the alumina support, while CO₂ induces hydrogenocarbonates formation at low temperature (<300 °C). Their presence does not explain the inhibiting effect of CO₂ observed in CCM on Pd/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts.     

Hydrodeoxygenation of methyl esters on sulphided NiMo/γ-Al2O3 and CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

Wood-derived bio-oil contains high amounts of compounds with different oxygen-containing functional groups that must be removed to improve the fuel characteristics. Elimination of oxygen from carboxylic groups was studied with model compounds, methyl heptanoate and methyl hexanoate, on sulphided NiMo/γ-Al₂O₃ and CoMo/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts in a flow reactor. Catalyst performances and reaction schemes were addressed. Aliphatic methyl esters produced hydrocarbons via three main paths: The first path gave alcohols followed by dehydration to hydrocarbons. Deesterification yielded an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in the second path. Carboxylic acid was further converted to hydrocarbons either directly or with an alcohol intermediate. Decarboxylation of the esters led to hydrocarbons in the third path. No oxygen-containing compounds were detected at complete conversions. However, the product distributions changed with time, even at complete conversions, indicating that both catalysts deactivated under the studied conditions.     

Nanosized γ-Al2O3 protective film for fluorescent lamps

Nanosized γ-Al₂O₃ particles were prepared by the sol–gel method with aluminum ion hydrolysis control performed by nitric acid. The as-prepared particles were mixed with deionized-water and stabilizer, and cycled in a high speed sand mill to form a stable γ-Al₂O₃ suspended slurry, which was then coated on the surface of the glass substrate to form a γ-Al₂O₃ protective film. Observations of SEM and visible transmission spectra show that a well-dispersed γ-Al₂O₃ slurry could be obtained after three-cycle grinding suitable to coat fluorescent lamp glass with a dense and uniform film of visible light transmission up to 95%.     

Highly dispersed NiW/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by hydrothermal deposition method

This article describes a novel hydrothermal deposition method for preparing highly dispersed NiW/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts and demonstrates its advantages over the conventional impregnation method. Via the hydrothermal precipitation reactions between sodium tungstate and hydrochloric acid and between nickel nitrate and urea, respectively, the active species W and Ni were deposited on γ-Al₂O₃. In the hydrothermal deposition of WO₃, a surfactant hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used to prevent the aggregation of WO₃. The characterization results obtained by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N₂ adsorption and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements showed that compared with the catalyst prepared by the conventional impregnation method, the catalyst with the same metal contents prepared by the hydrothermal deposition had much higher W and Ni dispersion, higher specific surface area, larger pore volume, the significantly decreased slab length and slightly increased stacking degree of sulfided W species, leading to the significantly enhanced dibenzothiophene (DBT) hydrodesulfurization (HDS) activity. The DBT HDS assessment results also revealed that the catalyst containing 17.7 wt% WO₃ and 2.4 wt% NiO prepared by the hydrothermal deposition method had the similar DBT HDS activity as a commercial NiW/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst containing 23 wt% WO₃ and 2.6 wt% NiO, resulting in the greatly decreased amount of active metals for achieving the same HDS activity.     

Performance and characterization of Ru/Al2O3 and Ru/SiO2 catalysts modified with Mn for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis

Mn effect and characterization on γ-Al₂O₃-, -Al₂O₃- and SiO₂-supported Ru catalysts were investigated for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis under pressurized conditions. In the slurry phase Fischer–Tropsch reaction, γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts showed higher performance on CO conversion and C₅⁺ selectivity than -Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ catalysts. Moreover, Ru/Mn/γ-Al₂O₃ exhibited high resistance to catalyst deactivation and other catalysts were deactivated during the reaction. From characterization results on XRD, TPR, TEM, XPS and pore distribution, Ru particles were clearly observed over the catalysts, and γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts showed a moderate pore and particle size such as 8 nm, where -Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ showed highly dispersed ruthenium particles. The addition of Mn to γ-Al₂O₃ enhanced the removal of chloride from RuCl₃, which can lead to the formation of metallic Ru with moderate particle size, which would be an active site for Fischer–Tropsch reaction. Concomitantly, manganese chloride is formed. These schemes can be assigned to the stable nature of Ru/Mn/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst.     

Reactor and in situ FTIR studies of Pt/BaO/Al2O3 and Pd/BaO/Al2O3 NOx storage and reduction (NSR) catalysts

The reduction of NO under cyclic “lean”/“rich” conditions was examined over two model 1 wt.% Pt/20 wt.% BaO/Al₂O₃ and 1 wt.% Pd/20 wt.% BaO/Al₂O₃ NO_x storage reduction (NSR) catalysts. At temperatures between 250 and 350 °C, the Pd/BaO/Al₂O₃ catalyst exhibits higher overall NO_x reduction activity. Limited amounts of N₂O were formed over both catalysts. Identical cyclic studies conducted with non-BaO-containing 1 wt.% Pt/Al₂O₃ and Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts demonstrate that under these conditions Pd exhibits a higher activity for the oxidation of both propylene and NO. Furthermore, in situ FTIR studies conducted under identical conditions suggest the formation of higher amounts of surface nitrite species on Pd/BaO/Al₂O₃. The IR results indicate that this species is substantially more active towards reaction with propylene. Moreover, its formation and reduction appear to represent the main pathway for the storage and reduction of NO under the conditions examined. Consequently, the higher activity of Pd can be attributed to its higher oxidation activity, leading both to a higher storage capacity (i.e., higher concentration of surface nitrites under “lean” conditions) and a higher reduction activity (i.e., higher concentration of partially oxidized active propylene species under “rich” conditions). The performance of Pt and Pd is nearly identical at temperatures above 375 °C.     

低成本大比表面积γ-Al2O3的制备

Optimal promotion by rubidium of the CO + NO reaction over Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

The reduction of NO by CO over Rb-promoted Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts has been investigated over a wide range of temperature (ca. 200–500°C), partial pressures of reactants and promoter loadings. For purposes of comparison, K- and Cs-promoted Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts were tested under the same conditions. Rubidium strongly enhanced both catalytic activity and N₂-selectivity. Rate increases by factors as high as 110 and 45 for the production of N₂ and CO₂, respectively, relative to unpromoted Pt were obtained, accompanied by substantial increase in N₂-selectivity (e.g. from 24 to 82% at 350°C and [CO]=0.5%, [NO]=1%). Under stoichiometric conditions, Rb-promoted catalysts gave 100% conversion of both reactants with 100% selectivity towards N₂ at T350°C and at an effective reactant contact time of only 0.5 s. In contrast, under the same conditions unpromoted Pt delivered <30% conversion and poor N₂-selectivity (approximately <40%); even at 480°C the conversion was only 60%. The observed promotional effects are ascribed to alkali-induced changes in the chemisorption bond strengths of CO, NO and NO dissociation products which lead to the observed activity enhancement and dependence of N₂-selectivity on promoter loading. The effects of K-promotion mirror those of Rb-promotion, but are significantly less pronounced. Rb is the best alkali promoter.     

Lean NOx reduction with CO + H2 mixtures over Pt/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3 catalysts

The reduction of NO_x by hydrogen under lean burn conditions over Pt/Al₂O₃ is strongly poisoned by carbon monoxide. This is due to the strong adsorption and subsequent high coverage of CO, which significantly increases the temperature required to initiate the reaction. Even relatively small concentrations of CO dramatically reduce the maximum NO_x conversions achievable. In contrast, the presence of CO has a pronounced promoting influence in the case of Pd/Al₂O₃. In this case, although pure H₂ and pure CO are ineffective for NO_x reduction under lean burn conditions, H₂/CO mixtures are very effective. With a realistic (1:3) H₂:CO ratio, typical of actual exhaust gas, Pd/Al₂O₃ is significantly more active than Pt/Al₂O₃, delivering 45% NO_x conversion at 160 °C, compared to >15% for Pt/Al₂O₃ under identical conditions. The nature of the support is also critically important, with Pd/Al₂O₃ being much more active than Pd/SiO₂. Possible mechanisms for the improved performance of Pd/Al₂O₃ in the presence of H₂+CO are discussed.     

Hydrodeoxygenation of aliphatic esters on sulphided NiMo/γ-Al2O3 and CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst: The effect of water

Water formed during hydrotreating of oxygen-containing feeds has been found to affect the performance of sulphided catalysts in different ways. The effect of water on the activity of sulphided NiMo/γ-Al₂O₃ and CoMo/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of aliphatic esters was investigated in a tubular reactor by varying the amount of water in the feed. In additional experiments, H₂S was added to the feed, alone and simultaneously with water.

Under the same conditions, the NiMo catalyst exhibited a higher activity than the CoMo catalyst. The ester conversions decreased with increase in the amount of added water. When H₂S and water were added simultaneously, the conversion increased to the same level as without water addition on the NiMo catalyst and reached a higher value on the CoMo catalyst. The conversions were highest, however, when only H₂S was added. Unfortunately, the conversions decreased with time under all conditions. On both catalysts, the total yield of the C₇ and C₆ hydrocarbons decreased with the amount of added water, while the concentrations of the oxygen-containing intermediates increased. The presence of H₂S improved the total hydrocarbon yield and shifted the main products towards the C₆ hydrocarbons. Thus, the addition of H₂S effectively compensated the inhibition by water.
