Gas phase hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to tetrahydrofuran by Cu/ZnO/TiO2 catalysts in the presence of n-butanol

Cu/ZnO/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared via the coprecipitation method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, temperature programmed reduction, and N₂ adsorption. The catalytic activity of Cu/ZnO/TiO₂ catalyst in gas phase hydrogenation of maleic anhydride in the presence of n-butanol was studied at 235–280 °C and 1 MPa. The conversion of maleic anhydride was more than 95.7% and the selectivity of tetrahydrofuran was up to 92.7%. At the same time, n-butanol was converted to butyraldehyde and butyl butyrate via reactions, namely, dehydrogenation, disproportionation, and esterification. There were two kinds of CuO species present in the calcined Cu/ZnO/TiO₂ catalysts. At a lower copper content, the CuO species strongly interacted with ZnO and TiO₂; at a higher copper content, both the surface-anchored and bulk CuO species were present. The metallic copper (CuO) produced by the reduction of the surface-anchored CuO species favored the deep hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to tetrahydrofuran. The deep hydrogenation activity of Cu/ZnO/TiO₂ catalyst increased with the decrease of crystallite sizes of CuO and the increase of microstrain values. Compensations of reaction heat and H₂ in the coupling reaction of maleic anhydride hydrogenation and n-butanol dehydrogenation were distinct.     

Gas‐Phase Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol Catalyzed by Cu/MOx Catalysts

The catalytic activities of Cu/MO_x (MO_x = Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and ZnO) catalysts in the gas‐phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol were studied at 180–300 °C under 0.1 MPa of H₂. Cu/MO_x (MO_x = Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and ZnO) catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. After reduction, CuO species were converted to metallic copper (Cu⁰). Cu/Al₂O₃ catalysts with high acidity, high specific surface areas and small metallic copper size favored the formation of 1,2‐propanediol with a maximum selectivity of 87.9 % at complete conversion of glycerol and a low reaction temperature of 180 °C, and favored the formation of ethylene glycol and monohydric alcohols at high reaction temperature of 300 °C. Cu/TiO₂ and Cu/ZnO catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity toward the formation of hydroxyacetone with a selectivity of approx. 90 % in a wide range of reaction temperature.     

Effect of preparation method on structure and catalytic activity of Cr-promoted Cu catalyst in glycerol hydrogenolysis

Relationships between surface structure and catalytic properties were investigated for a series of copper chromium catalysts. The catalysts were prepared using methods involving impregnation and precipitation, and their catalytic activities were evaluated for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol. Catalyst (10I and 50I) prepared by the impregnation method contained a mixed phase of both individual copper and chromium oxide structures, while the catalyst (50P) prepared by precipitation showed a single phase, with a copper chromite spinel structure (CuCr₂O₄). XPS data indicated that, after the reduction step, the copper species in the impregnated catalyst was reduced to Cu⁰, but the catalyst prepared by the precipitation method retained a spinel structure evidenced by the large amount of Cu²⁺ species. In hydrogenolysis reactions, the precipitated catalyst showed a higher catalytic activity than the impregnated catalyst. Thus, the reduced copper chromite spinel structure, which constitutes a single phase, appears to be responsible for the high catalytic activity in the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol.

Cu基催化剂催化甘油氢解制备丙二醇

在间歇釜式反应器中考察Cu基催化剂在不同酸性条件下的甘油催化氢解反应性能,采用γ-Al₂O₃、SiO₂和SiC酸碱性不同的载体研究催化剂催化活性和选择性的影响,结果表明,3种载体的Cu基催化剂均对1,2-丙二醇的生成有较高的催化活性和选择性,但只有弱酸性SiO₂为载体时生成1,3-丙二醇。研究在底物中添加H₂SO₄（B酸）对甘油氢解反应性能的影响,发现质子酸的存在有利于1,3-丙二醇的生成,但易导致副反应发生,使1,2-丙二醇选择性大幅降低。研究用磷钨酸改性的Cu/SiO₂催化剂对甘油氢解反应的催化活性的影响,发现磷钨酸的加入有利于甘油氢解为1,3-丙二醇,且酸性越强,越容易发生副反应。随着Cu/HWP/SiO₂催化剂焙烧温度的升高,酸性减弱,丙二醇选择性提高,推测出质子酸作用下Cu基催化剂的甘油氢解反应机理。     

Effect of manganese on Cu/SiO2 catalysts for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone

The effect of the addition of manganese to Cu/SiO₂ catalysts for cyclohexanol dehydrogenation reaction was investigated. At reaction temperature of 250 °C, the conversion and the selectivity to cyclohexanone were both increased with the addition of manganese to Cu/SiO₂ catalyst. However, as the reaction temperature was further increased, higher loading of manganese in Cu/SiO₂ catalyst led to a decrease in the conversion of cyclohexanol. Manganese in Cu/ SiO₂ catalyst decreased the reduction temperature of copper oxide, increased the dispersion of copper metal, and decreased the selectivity to cyclohexene. It was found that the dehydration of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene occurred on the intermediate acid sites of catalyst. At high Mn loading, catalyst surface was more enriched with manganese in used catalyst compared to that in freshly calcined or reduced catalyst, which may account for the sharp decrease of the conversion at high temperature of 390 °C. Upon reduction, copper manganate on silica was decomposed into fine particles of copper metal and manganese oxide (Mn₃O₄).     

Synthesis and characterization of CuO/TiO2 catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation

In this paper, the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts prepared by the deposition–precipitation (DP) method were extensively investigated for CO oxidation reaction. The structural characters of the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts were comparatively investigated by TG-DTA, XRD, and XPS measurements. It was shown that the catalytic behavior of CuO/TiO₂ catalysts greatly depended on the TiO₂-support calcination temperature, the CuO loading amount and the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts calcination temperature. CuO supported on the anatase phase of TiO₂-support calcined at 400 °C showed better catalytic activity than those supported on TiO₂ calcined at 500 and 700 °C. Among all our investigated catalysts with CuO loading from 2% to 12%, the catalyst with 8 wt% CuO loading exhibited the highest catalytic activity. The optimum calcination temperature of the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts was 300 °C. The XRD results indicated that the catalytic activity of the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts was related to the crystal phase and particle size of TiO₂ support and CuO active component.     

Partial oxidation of methane over ruthenium catalysts

The catalytic partial oxidation of methane with oxygen to produce synthesis gas was studied under a wide range of conditions over supported ruthenium catalysts. The microreador results demonstrated the high activity of ruthenium catalysts for this reaction. A catalyst having as little as 0.015% (w/w) Ru on Al₂O₃ gave a higher synthesis gas selectivity than a catalyst having 5% Ni on SiO₂. XANES measurements for fresh and used catalyst samples confirmed that ruthenium is reduced from ruthenium dioxide to ruthenium metal early during the experiments. Ruthenium metal is thus the active element for the methane partial oxidation reaction.     

Direct epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide on various catalytic systems: A combinatorial micro-reactor study

A combinatorial approach is used to investigate several bimetallic catalytic systems and the promoter effect on these catalysts to develop highly active and selective catalysts for direct epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide (PO) using molecular oxygen. 2%Cu/5%Ru/c-SiO₂ catalyst yielded the highest performance with high propylene conversion and PO selectivity among the bimetallic catalytic systems including silver, ruthenium, manganese and copper metals. On the other hand, the most effective catalyst and promoter in the epoxidation reaction was determined to be sodium chloride promoted Cu–Ru catalyst supported over SiO₂ with 36% selectivity & 9.6% conversion (3.46% yield) at 300 °C and 0.5 feed gas ratio (propylene/oxygen).     

Highly active and selective Cu/SiO2 catalysts prepared by the urea hydrolysis method in dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation

Cu/SiO₂ catalysts have been successfully prepared via urea hydrolysis method. The catalysts have been systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, N₂-physisorption and H₂ temperature-programmed reduction. The results demonstrated the presence of copper nanoparticles and their high dispersion on the SiO₂ support. Catalysts with different copper loadings were prepared, and their performances in the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to ethylene glycol were studied. A 100% conversion of dimethyl oxalate and maximum 98% selectivity of ethylene glycol were reached with 15.6 wt.% copper loading at 200 °C and 2 MPa. Furthermore, under the same reaction conditions, the catalyst can maintain the selectivity of 90% when the reduction temperature reduced from 350 °C to 200 °C. The high activity and selectivity over the catalyst may be ascribed to the homogenously distribution of copper nanoparticles on the large surface.     

Promoter action of KCl on CuCl2/SiO2 catalysts used for the oxyhydrochlorination of methane

The effect of KCl addition on the catalytic activity and product distribution of SiO₂-supported CuCl₂ catalysts has been investigated. The activity of these K-containing catalysts can be related to the release of chlorine atoms from the surface which initiate a gas phase chain reaction. The active phase of these catalysts is molten under reaction conditions (700 Torr, 670 K). In this case, the presence of KCl in the melt increases the catalytic activity and favors the regeneration of the catalyst. However, overdoses of KCl have a negative effect on both, catalyst activity and stability.When KCl is not added to the CuCl₂ catalyst, the reaction can still proceed by an alternative path over the solid surface, probably involving the dissociative chemisorption of methane. As opposed to the effect observed at 670 K, at lower temperatures, e.g., 500 K, the addition of KCl reduces the catalytic activity by blocking copper chloride active sites.     

The Promotion Effect of Cr on Copper Catalyst in Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol to Propylene Glycol

Binary Cu/Cr catalysts, containing various molar ratios of copper to chromium, were synthesized and their catalytic activities were examined for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol. When catalyst containing Cu and Cr ratio of 1:2, it was mainly composed of CuCr₂O₄ phase. And it was found to have the highest catalytic activity in this reaction, due to its favorable reduction properties.     

Insights into Supported Copper(II)‐Catalyzed Azide‐Alkyne Cycloaddition in Water

Cross‐linked polymeric ionic liquid material‐supported copper (Cu‐CPSIL), imidazolium‐loaded Merrifield resin‐supported copper (Cu‐PSIL) and silica dispersed CuO (CuO/SiO₂), were prepared and proved to be efficient catalysts for the one‐pot synthesis of 1,4‐disubsituted‐1,2,3‐triazoles by the reaction of alkyl halides with sodium azide and terminal alkynes in water at room temperature. Moreover, these supported copper catalysts were recovered quantitatively from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and reused for five consecutive recycles without significant loss of catalytic activity. Among the three immobilized copper catalysts, Cu‐CPSIL exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the reaction of aliphatic bromides, sodium azide and terminal alkynes. The differences in the catalytic performances of the catalysts could be ascribed to the copper dispersion and the interaction between copper and the supports. In addition, water was used as the reaction media and the proton provider, the latter was found to be very important for the reaction. The XPS results suggested that the supported Cu(II) catalysts were reduced to catalytic Cu(I) species via alkynes homocoupling reaction. By means of IR and ESI‐MS studies, a possible mechanism of cycloaddition based on the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) species was proposed.     

Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Activity for CO Oxidation of SiO2 Hollow Spheres Supporting CuO Catalysts

Silica hollow spheres were synthesized by sol–gel process using carbon microspheres as templates, and used as supports for CuO/SiO₂ catalysts. The samples were characterized by TEM, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, XRD and TPR, and furthermore, the catalytic performance for CO oxidation was approached. The results indicated that the catalytic activity of CuO supported on SiO₂ hollow spheres exhibited much higher as compared to that supported on commercial SiO₂. Enhancement of the catalytic activity may be attributed to the fact that the unique hollow spherical texture should facilitate the formation of main active species and gas diffusion in catalysts.

Hydrogenation of CO2 Over Skeletal Copper Surfaces Containing Precipitated ZnO

Catalysts have been prepared by precipitating different amounts of ZnO on the surface of skeletal copper particles. The precursor copper catalysts were prepared by fully leaching CuAl₂ particles with concentrated NaOH solutions in the presence and absence of sodium chromate. The resulting catalysts contained surface zinc oxide concentrations in the range 0-1.36 mg per m² of catalyst surface.The influence of different concentrations of ZnO on the surface of skeletal copper was examined by the hydrogenation of CO₂ using a mixture of 24% CO₂/76% H₂ at 4 MPa, 493-533K and space velocities up to 410 700 h^-1. The catalysts were found to be highly active and selective for methanol synthesis. Methanol synthesis activity increased linearly with ZnO loadings with a maximum being reached at a loading of around 1.1 mg m^-2 for higher surface area skeletal copper prepared by leaching in the presence of chromate. ZnO loadings were also shown to improve the selectivity of CO₂ hydrogenation over copper by reducing the formation of CO by the reverse water-gas shift reaction.     

Low-temperature methanol synthesis catalyzed over Cu/γ-Al2O3–TiO2 for CO2 hydrogenation

A titanium-modified -alumina-supported CuO catalyst has been prepared and used for methanol synthesis from CO₂ hydrogenation. XRD and TPR were used to characterize the phase, reduction property and particle size of the reduced catalyst. The addition of Ti to the CuO/-Al₂O₃ catalyst made the copper in the catalyst exist in much smaller crystallites and exhibit an amorphous-like structure. The adding of Ti made the reduction peak shift toward lower temperature in comparison with the CuO/-Al₂O₃ catalyst. The effect of the addition of Ti and the reaction conditions on the activity and selectivity to methanol from CO₂ hydrogenation were investigated. The activity was found to increase with increasing surface area of metallic copper, but it is not a linear relationship. This indicated that the catalytic activity of the catalysts depends on both the metallic copper area and the synergy between the copper and titanium dioxide. The effect of contact time on the relative selectivity (=SCH₃0H /S_CO) and selectivity of methanol were also investigated. The results indicated that methanol was formed directly from the hydrogenation of CO₂.     

A multi-functional Ru Mo bimetallic catalyst for ultra-efficient C3 alcohols production from liquid phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol

Ru and Mo bimetallic catalysts supported on active carbon modified by phosphotungstic acid (PW) were designed and applied in glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized and the presence of active sites was investigated from the perspective of the glycerol hydrogenolysis performance. The MoO_x is highly selective for the C—O bond cleavage of glycerol molecules, which can reasonably regulate the strong C—C bond cleavage activity of Ru nanoparticles. By using sequential deposition of Ru and Mo supported on mesoporous PW-C, the characterization results show that the combination of isolated low-valence MoO_x with metal Ru particles can form “MoO_x-Ru-PW”, which provides highly catalytic activity toward C—O bond cleavage, selectively producing more C3 alcohols (mainly 1,2(3)-propanediol). The glycerol conversion of 1% Mo/Ru/PW-C catalyst was 59.6%, the selectivity of C3 alcohol was 96.1%, and the selectivity of propanediol (1,2(3)-propanediol) was 94.9%. It is noteworthy that the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol reached 20.7% when the PW was 21.07% (mass). This study provides experimental evidence for the tandem dehydration and hydrogenation mechanism of the multifunctional Mo/Ru/PW-C catalyst.
