Catalytic combustion of natural gas as the role of on-site heat supply in rapid catalytic CO2---H2O reforming of methane

Development in highly active catalysts for the reforming of methane with H₂O, CO₂, and H₂O+CO₂, and partial oxidation of methane was conducted to produce hydrogen with high reaction rates. A Ni-based three-component catalyst such as Ni---La₂O₃---Ru or Ni---Ce₂O₃---Pt supported on alumina wash-coated ceramic fiber in a plate shape was very suitable for both reactions. The catalyst composition was set at 10 wt.-% Ni, 5.6 wt.-% La₂0₃, and 0.57 wt.-% Ru for example, or molar ratios of these components were 1:0.2:0.03. Even with such a low concentration, the precious metal enhanced the reaction rate markedly, and this synergistic effect was ascribed to the hydrogen spillover effect through the part of precious metal and it resulted in a more reduced surface of the main catalyst component. In particular, a marked enhancement in the reaction rate of CO₂-reforming of methane was observed by the modification of a low concentration Rh to the Ni---Ce₂0₃---Pt catalyst. Very high space-time yields of H₂ (i.e., 8300 mol/1 h in partial oxidation of methane at 600°C with a methane conversion of 37.5%, and 3585 mol/1 h in CO₂reforming of methane at 600°C with a methane conversion of 58%) were realized in those reactions. By combining the catalytic combustion reaction, methane conversion to syngas was markedly enhanced, and even with a very short contact time (10 ms) the conversion of methane increased more than that at 50 ms. The space-time yield of hydrogen amounted to 2,780 mol/1 h with a methane conversion of 90% at 700°C. Furthermore, in a reaction of CH₄---CO₂---H₂O---O₂ on the four components catalyst, an extraordinarily high space-time yield of hydrogen, 12 190 mol/1 h, could be realized under the conditions of very high space velocity (5 ms).

金属氧化物催化CO2与甲醇合成碳酸二甲酯的研究进展

CO₂是主要的温室气体。近年来随着工业的大力发展,CO₂的排放量迅猛增加,严重影响着人类的生存环境。将CO₂转化成有价值的化工产品,受到了研究领域的广泛关注。其中将CO₂与产能过剩的甲醇作为原料,生产碳酸二甲酯（DMC）,既能减少CO₂排放,又能产生有价值的绿色产品DMC。本文简述了影响CO₂转化的因素,即受热力学限制和CO₂活化困难;重点介绍了具有酸碱活性中心的金属氧化物ZrO₂、CeO₂以及复合金属氧化物催化剂的催化性能和反应机理,并分析了影响催化活性的主要原因：表面酸碱性能决定了催化活性;进一步分析了催化剂表面的酸碱性来源于Lewis酸碱位和Br?nsted酸性位。对于开发高效的金属氧化物催化剂未来的研究方向提出了展望: 通过调控催化剂的晶相和形貌、增加氧空位和羟基官能团、掺杂碱性或者酸性物种来改变催化剂表面的酸碱性,并且向催化系统中添加脱水剂。最后指出了由于CO₂分子的稳定性很难被活化,需进一步深入研究其活化CO₂的机理,提高CO₂的转化率。     

CO2 utilization as an oxidant in the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene over MnO2-ZrO2 catalysts

MnO₂-ZrO₂ binary oxide catalytic system was applied for the effective utilization of CO₂ as an oxidant in the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation (EBD) to styrene monomer (SM). MnO₂-ZrO₂ oxides were prepared by co-precipitation method and characterized as solid solution mixture having surface area more than 100² g⁻¹. 10% MnO₂-ZrO₂ mixed oxide catalyst exhibited conversion of 73% with the selectivity of 98% at 650 °C. The MnO₂-ZrO₂ binary oxides were X-ray amorphous whereas the individual oxides (MnO₂ and ZrO₂) having much lower surface areas were crystalline in nature. As a result, MnO₂-ZrO₂ binary oxides exhibited greatly elevated catalytic activity for the conversion of ethylbenzene (EB) than those of individual oxides in the presence of CO₂. However, in the absence of CO₂ poor catalytic activity and stabilities were observed. Gradual enhancement of activities were demonstrated in the higher CO₂ to EB ratios. Hence, CO₂ had a profound role as a soft oxidant by improving both activity and stability in the EBD over MnO₂-ZrO₂ mixed oxide catalysts.     

ZrO2-Al2O3复合氧化物催化反应精馏合成碳酸二甲酯

采用共沉淀法制备了一系列不同Al₂O₃含量的ZrO₂-Al₂O₃复合氧化物,并在催化精馏实验装置中考察了该催化剂在碳酸丙烯酯（PC）与甲醇酯交换制备碳酸二甲酯（DMC）过程中的催化性能。通过X射线衍射（XRD）、红外光谱（FTIR）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、CO₂程序升温脱附（CO₂-TPD）和NH₃程序升温脱附（NH₃-TPD）等手段对所制备的催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,催化剂表面存在的酸碱性位点是制约PC与甲醇酯交换性能的重要因素。复合氧化物中Al₂O₃含量可以有效调控催化剂的结构特征和表面的酸碱性质,不同于ZrO₂或Al₂O₃单金属催化剂,复合氧化物ZrO₂-Al₂O₃在合成过程中形成了稳定的固溶体结构,导致催化剂表面弱酸量增加,并产生了强碱位点。数据分析表明,催化剂表面的强碱和弱酸含量高时,其催化活性高,说明该反应具有酸碱协同催化作用。当Zr/Al比为1时,弱酸和强碱量均达到最大值,PC的转化率和DMC选择性可达到98.14%和99.96%。催化剂在经过12次循环使用后依旧保持较高的活性,具有良好的结构稳定性。     

CO2合成醇酯类化学品和高分子材料研究进展

我国作为煤炭大国,燃烧化石燃料产生大量CO₂。通过化学作用将CO₂转化为能源燃料、基础化学品或高分子材料,有利于实现碳氧资源综合利用。从CO₂直接利用和间接利用的角度出发,分别综述了CO₂资源化利用研究进展。直接利用方面,重点阐述了CO₂直接加氢合成甲醇和乙醇;同时CO₂可作为羰化剂合成有机碳酸酯和高分子材料,包括碳酸二乙酯、聚碳酸酯和CO₂基可降解聚合物。在间接利用方面,重点综述了CO₂经碳酸乙烯酯的酯交换反应合成碳酸二甲酯,以及碳酸乙烯酯加氢制备甲醇联产乙二醇的研究进展。CO₂加氢直接合成甲醇催化剂主要包括铜基催化剂、贵金属催化剂,由于贵金属的成本高,廉价的Cu基催化剂研究较为广泛。CO₂加氢直接合成乙醇研究较广泛的催化剂为贵金属(Rh、Pd、Ru)基催化剂体系,还需进一步研究廉价、高活性和高稳定性的催化剂。CO₂与乙醇直接合成碳酸二乙酯(DEC)研究较多的催化剂为铈基多相催化剂,但由于生成物中水分的影响,限制了DEC的收率。环氧化物和CO₂耦合反应生成DEC过程中不产生水,可以有效克服热力学的限制,因此高能化合物与CO₂的耦合路线是高效制备DEC的有效途径。CO₂与环氧化物共聚制备聚碳酸酯材料多采用稀土三元催化剂体系,环氧化物的转化率和聚碳酸酯选择性较高,目前已经实现工业应用。CO₂通过碳酸乙烯酯与甲醇酯交换合成DMC,多使用碱性较强的催化剂和含碱性基团的离子交换树脂。CO₂经碳酸乙烯酯加氢制备甲醇和乙二醇的反应中,铜基催化剂展现出优异的催化性能。CO₂化学转化利用是CO₂碳氧资源综合利用的重要途径,将有效支撑我国未来碳中和目标实现。     

In situ combustion synthesis of structured Cu-Ce-O and Cu-Mn-O catalysts for the production and purification of hydrogen

The combustion method was employed for the in situ synthesis of nanocrystalline Cu-Ce-O and Cu-Mn-O catalyst layers on Al metal foam, without the need of binder or additional calcination steps. Copper-manganese spinel oxides have been proposed as a catalytic system for hydrogen production via methanol steam reforming, while CuO-CeO₂ catalysts have been successfully examined for CO removal from reformed fuels via selective oxidation. In this work, the performance of these catalysts supported on Al metal foam has been investigated in the reactions of methanol reforming and selective CO oxidation. The Cu-Ce-O foam catalyst exhibited similar catalytic performance to the one of the powder catalyst in the selective oxidation of CO. The performance of the Cu-Mn-O foam catalyst in the steam reforming of methanol was inferior to the one of the powder catalyst at intermediate conversion levels, but almost complete conversion of methanol was obtained at the same temperature with both foam and powder catalysts.

Alkylation of benzene with carbon dioxide to low-carbon aromatic hydrocarbons over bifunctional Zn-Ti/HZSM-5 catalyst

Alkylation of benzene to value-added,high octane number and low toxic toluene and xylenes provides a way to lower benzene content in gasoline pool,and is hence a method to promote fuel quality.On the other hand,CO₂ accumulation in the atmosphere causes global warming and requires effective route for its valorization.Utilization of CO₂ as a carbon source for benzene alkylation could achieve both goals.Herein,alkylation of benzene with CO₂ and H2 was realized by a series of low-cost bifunctional catalysts containing zinc/titanium oxides(Zn/Ti oxides)and HZSM-5 molecular sieves in a fixed-bed reactor.By regulating and controlling oxygen vacancies of Zn/Ti oxides and the acidities of HZSM-5,benzene conversion and CO₂ conversion reached 28.7%and 29.9%respectively,along with a total selectivity of toluene and xylene higher than 90%.In this process,more than 25%CO₂ was effectively utilized and incorporated into the target products.Moreover,the mechanism of the reaction was analyzed and the course was simultaneously traced.CO₂ was transformed into methanol firstly,and then methanol reacted with benzene generating toluene and xylene.The innovation provides a new method for upgrading of fuels and upcycling the emissions of CO₂,which is of great environmental and economic benefits.     

A two-stage catalyst bed concept for conversion of carbon dioxide into methanol

Conversion of CO₂ into methanol by catalytic hydrogenation has been recognized as one of the most promising processes for stabilizing the atmospheric CO₂ level, and furthermore the methanol produced could be used as fuel or basic chemical for satisfying the large demand world-wide. The present work investigates a two-stage catalyst bed concept for conversion of CO₂ to methanol. A system with two catalyst beds instead of one single catalyst bed is developed for conversion of CO₂ to methanol. In the first catalyst bed, the synthesis gas is partly converted to methanol in a conventional water-cooled reactor. This bed operates at higher than normal operating temperature and at high yield. In the second bed, the reaction heat is used to pre-heat the feed gas to the first bed. The continuously reduced temperature in this bed provides increasing thermodynamic equilibrium potential. In this bed, the reaction rate is much lower and, consequently, so is the amount of the reaction heat. This feature results in milder temperature profiles in the second bed because less heat is liberated compared to the first bed. In this way the catalysts are exposed to less extreme temperatures and, catalyst deactivation via sintering is circumvented. In this work, a one-dimensional dynamic plug flow dynamic is used to analyze and compare the performance of two-stage bed and conventional single bed reactors. The results of this work show that the two-stage catalyst bed system can be operated with higher conversion and longer catalyst life time.     

CO2高值化利用：CO2加氢制甲醇催化剂研究进展

Supported base metal catalysts for the preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide in the presence of excess hydrogen (PROX)

Supported base metal catalysts were tested for the preferential oxidation of CO (CO PROX). The catalysts we investigated covered a wide range of transition metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn) supported on oxides with very different acidic, basic and redox properties (MgO, La₂O₃, SiO₂–Al₂O₃, CeO₂, Ce_0.63Zr_0.37O₂). The influence of the metal loading (Cu), the support properties (acidity, basicity, redox, surface area) and the reaction conditions (reaction temperature, feed composition) on the catalyst activity and selectivity was evaluated. The activity of ceria and ceria–zirconia supported copper catalysts was comparable to the performances of noble metal samples classically used for the PROX reaction. In addition, Cu–CeO₂ catalysts showed a practically constant and high selectivity towards CO oxidation in the temperature range of 50–150 °C. Due to the strong synergetic effect between copper and ceria, only a small amount of copper (0.3 wt.%) was necessary to get an active catalyst. The best catalytic performances were obtained for the samples containing 1–3 wt.% copper. The presence of small copper particles in close interaction with the ceria support was shown to be responsible for the enhanced activity. Except for the hydrogen oxidation, no parallel reactions (CO or CO₂ methanation reactions, coking, RWGS) could be detected over these catalysts. Classically, an increase of the oxygen excess led to an increased CO conversion with a simultaneous loss of selectivity towards CO₂. Finally, the presence of CO₂ in the feed negatively affected the catalytic activity. This effect was attributed to the adsorption of CO₂ on the copper sites, probably as CO.     

CO2加氢制甲醇Cu-Zn-Al水滑石催化剂的改性研究

CO₂加氢制甲醇既能有效缓解温室效应带来的全球气温升高问题,也能促进CO₂的资源化利用,成为研究热点之一。对Cu-Zn-Al水滑石(CZA-LDH)开展改性研究,以Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O、Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O和Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O为原料,以NaOH和NaCO₃为沉淀剂,采用共沉淀法制备CZA-LDH,并在制备过程中引入聚乙二醇(PEG)、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)和三乙醇胺(TEA),焙烧后得到4组催化剂。XRD、FT-IR、N₂吸附-脱附、SEM表征结果及催化性能测试数据表明,引入TEA的CZA-LDH焙烧后得到的复合金属氧化物催化剂(CZA-LDO-TEA)表现出最优的性能。这是因为TEA 能够破坏表面晶体结构,促进催化剂中CuO组分的还原,提高了 CO₂的化学吸附能力,从而提高了催化剂的CO₂转化率。

Phenol oxidation over CuO/Al2O3 in supercritical water

Phenol was oxidized in supercritical water at 380–450°C and 219–300 atm, using CuO/Al₂O₃ as a catalyst in a packed-bed flow reactor. The CuO catalyst has the desired effects of accelerating the phenol disappearance and CO₂ formation rates relative to non-catalytic supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). It also simultaneously reduced the yield of undesired phenol dimers at a given phenol conversion. The rates of phenol disappearance and CO₂ formation are sensitive to the phenol and O₂ concentrations, but insensitive to the water density. A dual-site Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson rate law used previously for catalytic SCWO of phenol over other transition metal oxides and the Mars–van Krevelen rate law can correlate the catalytic kinetics for phenol disappearance over CuO. The supported CuO catalyst exhibited a higher activity, on a mass of catalyst basis, for phenol disappearance and CO₂ formation than did bulk MnO₂ or bulk TiO₂. The CuO catalyst had the lowest activity, however, when expressed on the basis of fresh catalyst surface area. The CuO catalyst exhibited some initial deactivation, but otherwise maintained its activity throughout 100 h of continuous use. Both Cu and Al were detected in the reactor effluent, however, which indicates the dissolution or erosion of the catalyst at reaction conditions.
