The catalytic performance tests show that the sulfated CeO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst using acetic acid solution as impregnation solvent has better catalytic activity and the resistance to K+poisoning than the sulfated CeO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst using pure H_(2)O as impregnation solvent. The excellent catalytic performances can be ascribed to the smaller sizes of CeO_(2) nanoparticles in CeO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst using acetic acid solution, which results in larger amount of adsorbed sulfate species, surface acid sites, surface active oxygen species and excellent redox property. These features are helpful for improving the catalytic performances of sulfated CeO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3) catalyst using smaller amount of CeO_(2) to cut the costs.展开更多

In this study, an MR with high A/V ratio, a diameter of 35 m,and a height of 0.8 mm was fabricated. Separation performance of this MR was investigated in an n-butanol/water system. Esterification of acetic acid and n-butanol was used as the model reaction to investigate the performance of catalytically active membrane reactors(CAMR)with different A/V ratios. The reaction conversion was 38.59% in the CAMR with the high A/V ratio of 12,497/m,which was much higher than that in other CAMRs, for reaction time of 60 min and W/Vfratio of 0.093 g/mL.Excellent catalytic stability of the CAMR was confirmed by performing long-term stability experiments.展开更多

The Pd/LaxPbyMnOz catalyst and the support was characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM, the main phase was La0.62Pb0.38MnO3 and the average diameter could be about 25.4 nm. The optimum conditions for synthesis of DPC with Pd/LaxPbyMnOz were determined by orthogonal experiments and the experimental results showed that reaction temperature was the first factor of effect on the selectivity and yield of DPC, and the concentration of O2 in gas phase also had significant effect on selectivity of DPC. The optimum reaction conditions were catMyst/phenol mass ratio 1 to 50, pressure 4.5 MPa,volume concentration of O2 25%, reaction temperature 60° and reaction time 4 h.

The results show that WO3 increased the active sites and enhanced the strength of acid, so it was an effective promoter of MnOx/TiO2. The NOx conversion on Mn-W/TiO2 ranges from 80.3% to 99.6% between 100 °C to 350 °C at GHSV=18900 h-1, while N2 product selectivity changes from 100% to 98.7%. In the presence of 0.01% SO2 and 6% H2O, NOx conversion maintained 98.5% at 120 °C. The influence of more than 0.01% SO2 on the activity of MnOx-WO3/TiO2 will disappear if the temperature rises above 250 °C. By means of heating and sweeping with He, the activity of the catalysts can be recovered. At 300 °C, NOx conversion yielded 99% with 0.07% SO2 and reached the level of commercial V-W/TiO2 catalysts. The Mn-W/TiO2 catalyst showed excellent performance for SCR of NOx with NH3 in a wider range of temperature with strong tolerance to SO2.展开更多

The structure and electro-catalytic properties of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and cyclic voltammetry(CV) techniques. The results showed that the introduction of Ru element(2-10 wt%) into Pd 20 wt%/C(hereafter, denoted as Pd/C) produced a series of core-shell structured binary catalysts. Pd@Ru 5 wt%/C(hereafter, denoted as Pd@Ru5/C) catalyst displayed the highest catalytic activity towards MEO. And the mass activity of Pd@Ru5/C electrode catalyst at E =-0.038 V(vs. Hg/HgO) was 1.42 times higher than that of Pd/C electrode catalyst. In addition, the relationship between the catalytic stability for MEO on Pd@Ru/C catalysts and the value of Jbp/Jfp(the ratio of MEO peak current density in the negative scan and positive scan) were also investigated. The result demonstrated that Pd@Ru5/C offering the smallest value of Jbp/Jfpdisplayed the best stable catalytic performance.展开更多

文摘Pd/LaxPbyMnOz, Pd/C, Pd/molecular sieve and Pd-heteropoly acid catalysts for direct synthesis of diphenyl carbonate (DPC) by heterogeneous catalytic reaction were compared and the results of DPC synthesis indicated that the catalyst Pd/LaxPbyMnOz had higher activity. The Pd/LaxPbyMnOz catalyst and the support was characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM, the main phase was La0.62Pb0.38MnO3 and the average diameter could be about 25.4 nm. The optimum conditions for synthesis of DPC with Pd/LaxPbyMnOz were determined by orthogonal experiments and the experimental results showed that reaction temperature was the first factor of effect on the selectivity and yield of DPC, and the concentration of O2 in gas phase also had significant effect on selectivity of DPC. The optimum reaction conditions were catMyst/phenol mass ratio 1 to 50, pressure 4.5 MPa,volume concentration of O2 25%, reaction temperature 60° and reaction time 4 h. The maximum yield and average selectivity could reach 13% and 97% respectively in the batch operation.

文摘In this work,n-pentane catalytic cracking over HZSM-5 zeolites was studied at 650°C under atmosphere pressure.A particular attention was paid to the measurement of n-pentane conversion,light olefins production,product distribution,coke deposit,etc.Several indexes were defined to evaluate the effects of operating conditions on the catalytic performance of HZSM-5 zeolites.It was found that decreasing the weight hourly space velocity,increasing the reactant partial pressure,and increasing the carrier gas flow rate could inhibit C-H bond breaking and enhance the C-C bond breaking and hydride transfer reactions,leading to reduced alkenes selectivity,which suppressed the formation of external coke and alleviated the deactivation of HZSM-5 zeolites.It was deduced that the catalytic stability of HZSM-5 zeolites was improved at the cost of alkenes selectivity.Compared with decreasing the weight hourly space velocity and increasing the reactant partial pressure,increasing the carrier gas flow rate could enhance the diffusion process and protect alkenes from being consumed in coke formation in order to improve the catalytic stability of HZSM-5 zeolites with less reduction of alkenes selectivity.
文摘The performance of Mn-W/TiO2 for selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NOx with NH3 and its resistance to different concentrations of SO2 at various temperatures were investigated. The results show that WO3 increased the active sites and enhanced the strength of acid, so it was an effective promoter of MnOx/TiO2. The NOx conversion on Mn-W/TiO2 ranges from 80.3% to 99.6% between 100 °C to 350 °C at GHSV=18900 h-1, while N2 product selectivity changes from 100% to 98.7%. In the presence of 0.01% SO2 and 6% H2O, NOx conversion maintained 98.5% at 120 °C. The influence of more than 0.01% SO2 on the activity of MnOx-WO3/TiO2 will disappear if the temperature rises above 250 °C. By means of heating and sweeping with He, the activity of the catalysts can be recovered. At 300 °C, NOx conversion yielded 99% with 0.07% SO2 and reached the level of commercial V-W/TiO2 catalysts. The Mn-W/TiO2 catalyst showed excellent performance for SCR of NOx with NH3 in a wider range of temperature with strong tolerance to SO2.

文摘To improve the denitrification performance of carbon-based materials for sintering flue gas,we prepared a composite catalyst comprising coconut shell activated carbon(AC)modified by thermal oxidation air.The microstructure,the specific surface area,the pore volume,the crystal structure,and functional groups presented in the prepared Cu2O/AC catalysts were thoroughly characterized.By using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms,Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry(XRD),the effects of Cu2O loading and calcination temperature on Cu2O/AC catalysts were investigated at low temperature(150℃).The research shows that Cu on the Cu2O/AC catalyst is in the form of Cu2O with good crystalline performance and is spherical and uniformly dispersed on the AC surface.The loading of Cu2O increases the active sites and the specific surface area of the reaction gas contact,which is conducive to the rapid progress of the carbon monoxide selective catalytic reduction(CO-SCR)reaction.When the loading of Cu2O was 8%and the calcination temperature was 500℃,the removal rate of NOx facilitated by the Cu2O/AC catalyst reached 97.9%.These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the denitrification of sintering flue gas.
文摘To develop more efficient chemical methods for the demineralization of organic pollutants from water bodies, which one was also mimic to the nature, a degradation of methylene blue by Fe(Ⅲ) and H 2O 2 in the absence of light instead of Fe(Ⅱ) and H 2O 2 was studied. Results showed that use of Fe (Ⅲ) is more promising than Fe(Ⅱ). The present study reflects that Fenton reaction is more efficient, in the presence of a small amount of salicylic acid is added which is a one of the priority pollutant.
文摘The catalytic activities of MnOx-WO3/TiO2 for selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NO with NH3 were investigated in a wide range of temperature and reaction condition.It yielded a NOx conversion of 80.3%-99.6% and a N2 product selectivity of 100%-98.7% during 100 °C to 350 °C at gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)=18900 h-1.In the presence of 0.01% SO2 and 6% H2O at 120 °C,the NOx conversion can maintain 98.5%.At 300 °C and with 0.07% SO2 in reactant stream,the NOx conversion stabilized at 99% as high as the commercial V-W/TiO2 catalyst's level.The steady-state kinetics study shows that O2 played a promoting role.In the presence of less than 1.5% O2,NOx conversion can increase sharply with the increase of O2 concentration.The reaction order was zero with respect to NH3 and first with respect to NO with excess O2 and H2O.The kinetics active energy(Ea) of Mn-W/TiO2 was calculated to be 6.24 kJ/mol according to the kinetic experiment at various temperatures,much lower than those of other catalysts reported in the literature.Mn-W/TiO2 is an excellent catalyst for SCR of NO with NH3 by now.

文摘Pd@Ru bimetallic nanoparticles deposited on carbon black electro-catalysts have been fabricated by microwave-assisted polyol reduction method and investigated for methanol electro-oxidation(MEO). The structure and electro-catalytic properties of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and cyclic voltammetry(CV) techniques. The results showed that the introduction of Ru element(2-10 wt%) into Pd 20 wt%/C(hereafter, denoted as Pd/C) produced a series of core-shell structured binary catalysts. Pd@Ru 5 wt%/C(hereafter, denoted as Pd@Ru5/C) catalyst displayed the highest catalytic activity towards MEO. And the mass activity of Pd@Ru5/C electrode catalyst at E =-0.038 V(vs. Hg/HgO) was 1.42 times higher than that of Pd/C electrode catalyst. In addition, the relationship between the catalytic stability for MEO on Pd@Ru/C catalysts and the value of Jbp/Jfp(the ratio of MEO peak current density in the negative scan and positive scan) were also investigated. The result demonstrated that Pd@Ru5/C offering the smallest value of Jbp/Jfpdisplayed the best stable catalytic performance.
