The effect of oxygen and the reduction temperature of the Pt/Al2O3 catalyst in enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione

The effect of oxygen and catalyst reduction temperature in enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione over commercial Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst was investigated. Dichloromethane was used as solvent. The catalyst was modified in situ with (−)-cinchonidine. Relatively high enantiomeric excesses (65%) of (R)-1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-propanone were obtained with the solvent used as received, i.e. containing traces of dissolved oxygen and other impurities. Dichloromethane dissociated partially on the Pt/Al₂O₃ surface causing desorption of methane, ethene and HCl from the catalyst during TPD according to mass spectrometric analysis. Under anaerobic conditions the reaction rate was low giving only about 40% enantiomeric excesses of (R)-1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-propanone. When injecting 5 mm³ of oxygen into the reactor a beneficial effect was observed (i.e. higher reaction rate and enantiomeric excess) in comparison with anaerobic conditions. Poisoning effect of oxygen was observed when injecting 500 mm³ of oxygen into the reactor. Effect of catalyst reduction temperature was studied at three different temperatures (170, 400 and 455°C). Highest reaction rates and enantiomeric excesses were obtained with the catalyst reduced at 400°C. Methane was desorbed from the catalyst at temperatures between 263 and 383°C which could be the explanation for the lower activity of the catalyst reduced at 170°C. It was demonstrated that small amounts of oxygen can have a beneficial effect in enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione and also that catalyst reduction temperature plays an important role in obtaining high enantiomeric excesses.     

Modelling of citral hydrogenation kinetics on an Ni/Al2O3 catalyst

The kinetics of citral hydrogenation in ethanol over an Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst was studied in a slurry reactor operating at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature range of 60–77°C. Citronellal was the primary reaction product, whereas the amounts of unsaturated alcohols were very minor. Citronellol was the dominating product, generated mainly through the hydrogenation of the carbonyl group of citronellal. Based on the experimental data, a kinetic model was developed for hydrogenation. The model comprises competitive and rapid adsorption steps as well as rate-determining hydrogenation steps. The mass transfer limitation of hydrogen was included in the mathematical model. The kinetic parameters and the mass transfer parameter of hydrogen were estimated from the experimental data. A comparison of the model predictions with the experimental data revealed that the proposed kinetic approach gave a satisfactory reproduction of the data.

Catalytic oxidation of naphthalene using a Pt/Al2O3 catalyst

Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are listed as carcinogenic and mutagenic priority pollutants, belonging to the environmental endocrine disrupters. Most PAHs in the environment stem from the atmospheric deposition and diesel emission. Consequently, the elimination of PAHs in the off-gases is one of the priority and emerging challenges. Catalytic oxidation has been widely used in the destruction of organic compounds due to its high efficiency (or conversion of reactants), its economic benefits and good applicability.

This study investigates the application of the catalytic oxidation using Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts to decompose PAHs and taking naphthalene (the simplest and least toxic PAH) as a target compound. It studies the relationships between conversion, operating parameters and relevant factors such as treatment temperatures, catalyst sizes and space velocities. Also, a related reaction kinetic expression is proposed to provide a simplified expression of the relevant kinetic parameters.

The results indicate that the Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst used accelerates the reaction rate of the decomposition of naphthalene and decreases the reaction temperature. A high conversion (over 95%) can be achieved at a moderate reaction temperature of 480 K and space velocity below 35,000 h⁻¹. Non-catalytic (thermal) oxidation achieves the same conversion at a temperature beyond 1000 K. The results also indicate that Rideal–Eley mechanism and Arrhenius equation can be reasonably applied to describe the data by using the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic equation with activation energy of 149.97 kJ/mol and frequency factor equal to 3.26 × 10¹⁷ s⁻¹.

Kinetics of acetone hydrogenation over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts

The hydrogenation of acetone to isopropanol has been studied in the vapour phase over Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts. The rate law obtained at a total pressure of 1 atm and temperatures between 303 and 363 K is of the form V=kP⁰_aP^1/2_H exp (-44 kJ mol^?1 RT^?1). The kinetic results are consistent with a Langmuir-Hinshelwood hydrogenation mechanism involving a half hydrogenated species and a non-competitive chemisorption of acetone and hydrogen on the platinum surface. The specific activity (calculated per platinum surface atom) has been found to be scarcely dependent on the platinum particle size. It is suggested that the chemisorption sites are made of a very small ensemble of platinum atoms.

Catalytic oxidation of HCN over a 0.5% Pt/Al2O3 catalyst

The adsorption of HCN on, its catalytic oxidation with 6% O₂ over 0.5% Pt/Al₂O₃, and the subsequent oxidation of strongly bound chemisorbed species upon heating were investigated. The observed N-containing products were N₂O, NO and NO₂, and some residual adsorbed N-containing species were oxidized to NO and NO₂ during subsequent temperature programmed oxidation. Because N-atom balance could not be obtained after accounting for the quantities of each of these product species, we propose that N₂ and was formed. Both the HCN conversion and the selectivity towards different N-containing products depend strongly on the reaction temperature and the composition of the reactant gas mixture. In particular, total HCN conversion reaches 95% above 250 °C. Furthermore, the temperature of maximum HCN conversion to N₂O is located between 200 and 250 °C, while raising the reaction temperature increases the proportion of NO_x in the products. The co-feeding of H₂O and C₃H₆ had little, if any effect on the total HCN conversion, but C₃H₆ addition did increase the conversion to NO and decrease the conversion to NO₂, perhaps due to the competing presence of adsorbed fragments of reductive C₃H₆. Evidence is also presented that introduction of NO and NO₂ into the reactant gas mixture resulted in additional reaction pathways between these NO_x species and HCN that provide for lean-NO_x reduction coincident with HCN oxidation.

Mean field modelling of NOx storage on Pt/BaO/Al2O3

A mean field model, for storage and desorption of NO_x in a Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃ catalyst is developed using data from flow reactor experiments. This relatively complex system is divided into five smaller sub-systems and the model is divided into the following steps: (i) NO oxidation on Pt/Al₂O₃; (ii) NO oxidation on Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃; (iii) NO_x storage on BaO/Al₂O₃; (iv) NO_x storage on Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃ with thermal regeneration and (v) NO_x storage on Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃ with regeneration using C₃H₆. In this paper, we focus on the last sub-system. The kinetic model for NO_x storage on Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃ was constructed with kinetic parameters obtained from the NO oxidation model together with a NO_x storage model on BaO/Al₂O₃. This model was not sufficient to describe the NO_x storage experiments for the Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃, because the NO_x desorption in TPD experiments was larger for Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃, compared to BaO/Al₂O₃. The model was therefore modified by adding a reversible spill-over step. Further, the model was validated with additional experiments, which showed that NO significantly promoted desorption of NO_x from Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃. To this NO_x storage model, additional steps were added to describe the reduction by hydrocarbon in experiments with NO₂ and C₃H₆. The main reactions for continuous reduction of NO_x occurs on Pt by reactions between hydrocarbon species and NO in the model. The model is also able to describe the reduction phase, the storage and NO breakthrough peaks, observed in experiments.     

Influence of chlorine ions in Pt/A12O3 catalysts for methane total oxidation

Residual chlorine ions on a Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst surface prepared from chlorine-containing precursors appear to inhibit the total oxidation of methane. At 450°C, as chlorine is eliminated with time on stream, the reaction rate increases despite the sintering of the platinum particles. The steady state reaction rate which is reached after 60 h is identical to that obtained with a catalyst prepared from a precursor containing no chlorine. Whether chlorine is present or not in the initial state of the catalyst does not appear to have an influence on the evolution of the platinum particle size.

The mechanism of SO2 effect on NO reduction with propene over In2O3/Al2O3 catalyst

An In₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalyst shows high activity for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with propene in the presence of oxygen. The presence of SO₂ in feed gas suppressed the catalytic activity dramatically at high temperatures; however it was enhanced in the low temperature range of 473–573 K. In TPD and FT-IR studies, the formation of sulfate species on the surface of the catalyst caused an inhibition of NO_X adsorption sites, and the absorbance ability of NO was suppressed by the presence of SO₂, and the amount of ad-NO₃⁻ species decreased obviously. This leads to a decrease of catalytic activity at higher temperatures. However, addition of SO₂ enhanced the formation of carboxylate and formate species, which can explain the promotional effect of SO₂ at low temperature, because active C₃H₆ (partially oxidized C₃H₆) is crucial at low temperature.     

Kinetic modelling of sulfur deactivation of Pt/BaO/Al2O3 and BaO/Al2O3 NOx storage catalysts

In this work, a kinetic model is constructed to simulate sulfur deactivation of the NO_x storage performance of BaO/Al₂O₃ and Pt/BaO/Al₂O₃ catalysts. The model is based on a previous model for NO_x storage under sulfur-free conditions. In the present model the storage of NO_x is allowed on two storage sites, one for complete NO_x uptake and one for a slower NO_x sorption. The adsorption of SO_x is allowed on both of these NO_x storage sites and on one additional site which represent bulk storage. The present model is built-up of six sub-models: (i) NO_x storage under sulfur-free conditions; (ii) SO₂ storage on NO_x storage sites; (iii) SO₂ oxidation; (iv) SO₃ storage on bulk sites; (v) SO₂ interaction with platinum in the presence of H₂; (vi) oxidation of accumulated sulfur compounds on platinum by NO₂. Data from flow reactor experiments are used in the implementation of the model. The model is tested for simulation of experiments for NO_x storage before exposure to sulfur and after pre-treatments either with SO₂ + O₂ or SO₂ + H₂. The simulations show that the model is able to describe the main features observed experimentally.
