Isobutane/2-butene alkylation on dealuminated H EMT and H FAU

The alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene on dealuminated hexagonal H EMT and dealuminated cubic faujasite H FAU with Si/Al ratios of 5–6 was studied at 80°C and compared with results obtained for the as-synthesized and calcined parent material with Si/Al ratios of 3.5. In both cases, the dealuminated samples favour an improved profile with respect to the alkylate yield and selectivity after 3 h reaction time, with dealuminated H EMT as the superior system. The alkylate composition consisted of 76% and about 70% C₈ paraffins for dealuminated H EMT and dealuminated H FAU, respectively. Within the C₈ fractions the three trimethylpentanes (TMP) 2,3,3-, 2,3,4- and 2,2,4-TMP were the dominating product compounds in all tests, whereas a higher content of dimethylhexanes (DMH) was observed for the H FAUs, both dealuminated and parent material. However, among the four trimethylpentanes (2,2,3-, 2,2,4-, 2,3,3- and 2,3,4-TMP) usually the 2,3,3-TMP and 2,3,4-TMP were the main compounds formed, at least for the dealuminated samples. Oligomerization was suppressed by using the dealuminated samples, however, increasing amounts of C₈ olefins after about one half of the monitored reaction time was observed for the H FAUs. By contrast, the H EMTs exhibited much less formation of C₈ olefins (and on a constant level) even after 300 min reaction time. The deactivated samples showed mainly formation of paraffinic coke.     

Isobutane/2-butene alkylation on faujasite-type zeolites (H EMT and H FAU)

The alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene on hexagonal (protonated form = H EMT, investigated, for the first time on this reaction) and cubic faujasite (protonated form = H FAU) with Si/Al ratios of 3.5 was studied at 80°C and compared with the results obtained for a cerium exchanged Y zeolite (Ce Y). The alkylate composition consisted of 90% and about 80% C₈ paraffins for H EMT and H FAU/Ce Y, respectively. Within the C₈ fractions the three trimethylpentanes (TMP) 2,2,4-, 2,3,3- and 2,3,4-TMP were the dominating product compounds in all tests, whereas a higher content of dimethylhexanes (DMH) was observed for the H FAU and Ce Y. However, among the four trimethylpentanes 2,3,3,-TMP and 2,3,4-TMP were always the main compounds formed. Oligomerization was favoured only by the H FAU and Ce Y, with a strong increase of C₈ olefins after about one third of the observed reaction time. On the contrary, H EMT exhibited much less formation of C₈ olefins (and on a constant level) even after 300 min reaction time. The deactivated samples showed only formation of non-aromatic coke. The differences in the product pattern were attributed to the slightly larger size of the second type of supercage in EMT and to the stronger Bronsted acid sites in the hexagonal faujasite.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Martin Klessinger on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Isobutane/2-butene alkylation on MCM-22 catalyst. Influence of zeolite structure and acidity on activity and selectivity

The catalytic behavior of the novel MCM-22 zeolite for the continuous alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene has been investigated at a temperature of 50°C, 2.5 MPa total pressure, and a variety of olefin space velocities. At high olefin conversions the MCM-22 zeolite showed a very high initial cracking activity attributable to strong Brønsted acid sites, as well as to the existence of strong diffusional restrictions of the TMP's (formed inside the zeolite) to exit through the channels. At short times on stream (TOS), TMP's account for ca. 40% of the C₈ fraction. The olefin conversion and the cracking activity rapidly decline with TOS, while the alkylate product became richer in dimethylhexenes, indicating a predominance of 2-butene dimerization and a loss of hydrogen transfer activity as the catalyst aged. Moreover, MCM-22 gives less TMP's than large-pore zeolites (USY, beta, mordenite), but more than the mediumpore ZSM-5 at similar 2-butene conversion. The latter catalyst was much more selective for olefin dimerization than for isobutane alkylation, presumably because formation of the bulkier TMP's was strongly impeded in its smaller pores.     

碱/碱土金属修饰Ni基催化剂的CO2吸附与甲烷化性能

采用分步浸渍法制备了碱/碱土金属修饰Ni基催化剂Ni-M/Al₂O₃ (M=K₂CO₃, Na₂CO₃, MgO, CaO)。探究了碱/碱土金属的添加对改性Ni基催化剂CO₂吸附和甲烷化性能的影响。研究发现,碱/碱土金属的添加提高了Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂表面的碱性活性位点密度,强化了其CO₂吸附性能。碱/碱土金属类型影响Ni-M/Al₂O₃催化剂碱性活性位点的分布、NiO物相的转化及Ni的分散度,进而影响其甲烷化性能。MgO添加使NiO物相转化为与载体呈强相互作用的β型和γ型NiO,降低了催化剂表面的强碱性活性位点比例,有利于CO₂吸附活化。Ni-MgO/Al₂O₃的CO₂吸附容量最高为0.68mmolCO₂/g,其CO₂转化率和CH₄选择性分别高达58.4%和95.4%,其在烟气CO₂捕集与原位甲烷化中极具应用前景。     

Nafion-H as catalyst for isobutane/2-butene alkylation compared with a cerium exchanged Y zeolite

A solid superacidic Nafion-H polymer was examined as a catalyst for isobutane/2-butene alkylation and compared with a cerium-exchanged Y zeolite. Both catalysts demonstrate initial alkylation activity with rapid decrease in alkylation selectivity. The total product distributions were found to be significantly different after three hours of reaction. Nafion-H showed less selectivity towards iso-octanes, but formed relatively more 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. The differences between the two catalysts suggest dissimilar favoured reaction mechanisms.

Performance of potassium 12-tungstophosphoric salts as catalysts for isobutane/butene alkylation in subcritical and supercritical phases

Potassium salts of H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ heteropolyacid have been synthesised with different K contents and studied for their acid and catalytic properties in liquid phase isobutane alkylation by but-2-ene or but-1-ene. Subcritical and supercritical conditions have been chosen for comparison in a batch reactor.

The influence of the protonic site density has been studied. High acid density was observed to be detrimental for akylation reaction which was explained by increased olefin dimerisation, the main side reaction responsible of catalyst poisoning. A K_2.6H_0.4P sample was tested in a batch reactor in liquid subcritical, near supercritical and in low and high density supercritical isobutane/butene mixture (418 K, P=4–9 MPa). An increase in the quality of the alkylate with the density of the supercritical phase was observed which almost counterbalanced the negative effect of the high temperature necessary to reach supercritical isobutane conditions.

In the presence of porous alkaline salts of 12-tungstophosphoric acid, alkylation to oligomerisation ratio is significantly improved over solids with a low density of strong Brønsted sites and by the use of high density supercritical isobutane conditions, the latter preserving hydride transfer and trimethyl pentane (TMP) formation.     

DSC analysis of ethylene/1-butene copolymers obtained with different ziegler–natta catalysts

The crystallization and melting behaviour of two sets of ethylene/1-butene copolymers have been analysed by DSC. The samples, with comonomer content in the range from 0 to 21.5 mol%, were obtained by industrial processes using both Mg/Ti-based catalyst systems. The composition dependences of melting and crystallization temperatures were found to be strictly affected by the catalyst type. Moreover, logarithmic plots of the melting and crystallization enthalpy as a function of the ethylene content (mol%) in the copolymers fitted linear relationships whose slopes have been related to the critical sequence length of crystallizable ethylene units, depending on the catalytic system. These results are compared with those reported in the literature for ethylene/1-butene copolymers synthesized by other catalysts and are accounted for by a different distribution of the comonomer units in the macromolecules of the two sets of samples.

Ab initio calculations on the mechanism of isobutane and 2-butene alkylation reaction catalyzed by hydrofluoric acid

Ab initio method was employed to determine the mechanism of alkylation reaction of 2-butene with isobutane. The results indicated that 2-butene is rapidly protonated to form sec-butyl carbonium ion, which then reacts with isobutane to form tert-butyl carbonium ion. The resulting carbonium ion is then deprotonated to form isobutene that reacts rapidly with tert-butyl carbonium ion to form trimethylpentane (TMP) carbonium ion. Finally, the TMP⁺ carbonium ion is converted to TMP via the hydride transfer process. The transition states of the interactions were obtained by using the SCAN method (a calculation key word for potential energy surface) first and then the intrinsic reaction coordinates were traced using the Gaussian program. In addition, the energy changes and geometric parameters of the interactions were analyzed. The computed results indicated that the energy barriers are close to or less than zero for the interaction of isobutane with protonated 2-butene or for the interaction of tert-butyl carbonium ion with isobutene, suggesting rapid reaction steps of the carbonium ions. The 2,2,3-TMP is kinetically controlled, while the formation of 2,2,4-TMP is controlled by reaction equilibrium. The calculated results were in good agreement with the experimental results.     

丙烯/1-丁烯无规共聚物与丙烯/乙烯抗冲共聚物的对比研究

对丙烯/1-丁烯无规共聚物(PPB)与丙烯/乙烯抗冲共聚物(PPE)的结晶行为进行对比,在等温结晶时,通过相对结晶度随时间的变化关系、等温结晶曲线等研究,表明丙烯/1-丁烯无规共聚物结晶速率明显低于丙烯/乙烯抗冲共聚物,同时丙烯/乙烯抗冲共聚物的等温结晶速率随乙烯单元含量增加没有明显降低。根据Avrami方程计算了共聚物的结晶活化能,证明丙烯/1-丁烯无规共聚物的结晶能力较丙烯/乙烯抗冲共聚物低。扫描电镜分析丙烯/1-丁烯无规共聚物在丁烯单元摩尔分数2.39%时没有韧性拉伸,而丙烯/乙烯抗冲共聚物在乙烯单元摩尔分数3%时出现韧性拉伸。

Hydrogenation of 3,4-epoxy-1-butene over Cu–Pd/SiO2 catalysts prepared by electroless deposition

Electroless deposition has been used to prepare Cu–Pd/SiO₂ bimetallic catalysts wherein initial Cu coverages are limited only to the pre-existing Pd surface. Cu loading on the Pd surface can be systematically varied by modification of deposition kinetic parameters. In this case deposition time was used as the kinetic variable for the preparation of a series of Cu–Pd catalysts. These materials have been characterized using atomic absorption, CO chemisorption, and FT-IR (adsorption of CO), and then evaluated for the hydrogenation of 3,4-epoxy-1-butene, a functionalized olefin having many potential reaction pathways. Catalyst performance and characterization results suggest that Cu is not distributed in a monodisperse manner on the Pd surface, indicating the existence of autocatalytic deposition of Cu on Cu sites. The FT-IR results suggest that although CO adsorption on all sites is suppressed by Cu addition, initial Cu deposition occurs more readily on certain sites. The bimetallic Cu–Pd sites that are formed exhibit unusually high activity for EpB conversion and formation of unsaturated alcohols and aldehydes. This bimetallic effect on catalyst activity and selectivity is best explained, not by the existence of either ligand or ensemble effects, but rather by the bifunctional nature of the Cu–Pd sites present on the surface of these catalysts.     

Regulation of isobutane/1-butene adsorption behaviors on the acidic ionic liquids-functionalized MCM-22 zeolite

The adsorption ratio of isobutane/1-butene on the catalyst surface is one of the most important factors for the C4 alkylation process.Regulation of isobutane/1-butene adsorption ratio on the zeolite-supported acid catalyst is a big challenge for catalyst preparation.To regulate the isobutane/1-butene adsorption ratio,four types of ionic liquid (i.e.,IL) with different alkyl chain lengths and different acid group numbers were synthesized and were subsequently immobilized onto the MCM-22 zeolite.The as-synthesized IL-immobilized MCM-22 (i.e.,MCM-22-IL) was characterized by FTIR,TGA,BET,XPS and XRD,and their adsorption capacities and adsorption molar ratios of isobutane to 1-butene (I/O) were investigated to correlate with surface features of MCM-22-IL Results showed that the immobilization of ILs led to a decrease of specific surface area and pore volume.But the surface density of acid groups was increased and the adsorption molar ratio of isobutane/1-butene (I/O) was significantly improved by the immobilization of ionic liquids.The adsorption molar ratio of I/O is substantially improved from 0.75 to above 0.9 at 300 kPa upon immobilizing ILs.Although the alkyl chain length of ILs was found to have little effect on the adsorption molar ratio of I/O,the increase of acid group numbers led to a dramatic decrease in the adsorption I/O ratio.The results illustrated that immobilizing ionic liquids is an effective way to modify the textural,chemical and morphological properties of MCM-22.Accordingly,the immobilization of ionic liquids provides a novel and a feasible way to regulate the adsorption I/O ratio on an adsorbent or a solid catalyst.
