SSZ-13沸石粒径及硅铝比对甲醇制烯烃反应性能的影响

通过调控合成配方,以水热合成法制备一系列不同粒径及硅铝比的SSZ-13沸石,考察沸石孔道结构、酸性质与催化性能之间的关系。采用XRD、SEM、XRF、N₂吸附-脱附以及²⁷Al MAS NMR对沸石样品进行详细的表征,并评价其甲醇制烯烃反应(MTO)催化性能。结果表明,小晶粒SSZ-13沸石相对结晶度高、晶粒尺寸均一;在MTO中,小晶粒SSZ-13沸石的MTO催化寿命大幅高于大晶粒SSZ-13沸石;减小晶粒尺寸可改善分子扩散效率,在此基础上提高沸石的酸密度可增加其活性稳定性。     

Comparison of Activity and Selectivity of SSZ-33 Based Catalyst with other Zeolites in Toluene Disproportionation

SSZ-33 based-catalyst, after modification with Mo and alumina binder, was evaluated in long-run tests in the toluene disproportionation in the presence of hydrogen as a carrier gas. The activity and selectivity of this catalyst were compared with those of ZSM-5 and mesoporous ZSM-5 prepared with the same concentration of Mo and alumina. Formation of the final catalysts decreased the void volume of micropores in order SSZ-33 > ZSM-5 > ZSM-5/Meso. Simultaneously, the concentration of Lewis acid sites increased due to the addition of alumina to the catalyst. The highest toluene conversion was achieved with SSZ-33 catalyst comprising 12-12-10-ring channels, which is the result of high acidity of this zeolite together with increased mass transport through large pores. ZSM-5 zeolite exhibited lower toluene conversion while only a low activity was found for mesoporous ZSM-5 probably due to the limitations of the access to the zeolite channels after modification with alumina.     

Cu/SSZ-13催化剂脱硝活性中心与催化性能构效关系的研究

NH₃选择性催化还原NO_x（NH₃-SCR）是目前最有应用前景的柴油车尾气净化技术,该技术的核心是开发具备优异催化性能的催化剂。以具有菱沸石（chabazite,CHA）结构的小孔分子筛SSZ-13为载体制备的Cu/SSZ-13催化剂,因具有优异的催化性能和水热稳定性能而受到广泛关注。制备了系列Cu_x/SSZ-13催化剂,并通过CO原位漫反射红外光谱（DRIFT）和H₂-TPR等方法能够确定具有高催化活性的铜离子在SSZ-13分子筛上的落位和存在状态。CO红外吸附实验发现,采用Cu(NO₃)₂水溶液离子交换法制备的Cu/SSZ-13催化剂上存在多种落位的Cu⁺活性中心。在较低的Cu⁺交换度条件下,Cu⁺优先落位于SSZ-13分子筛的八元环位置,随着交换度的提高,Cu⁺开始落位于SSZ-13分子筛双六元环的位置。H₂-TPR结果表明Cu_x/SSZ-13催化剂上也存在大量落位在八元环位置不稳定的Cu²⁺,这些Cu²⁺很容易被还原为Cu⁺。Cu_x/SSZ-13催化剂经800℃水蒸气连续老化16 h,分子筛骨架崩塌程度随着Cu含量的增加而提高,骨架铝的脱除,导致Cu物种发生团聚,而第二金属Ce元素的引入能够在一定程度上提高Cu/SSZ-13的水热稳定性。催化剂构效关系研究表明,具有一定量稳定存在的Cu⁺,并且拥有大量不稳定存在Cu²⁺的催化剂具有较宽温度范围的脱硝性能。     

Preparation of mesoporous carbon templated by silica particles for use as a catalyst support in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Mesoporous carbons were prepared using commercial silica particles and a formaldehyde–resorcinol resin as a template and carbon precursor, respectively. By changing the molar ratio of template to carbon precursor, mesoporous carbons with different mesoporosities (MC-X, X represents the molar ratio of template to carbon precursor) were produced. The resulting MCs had a high-surface area and large pore volume. In particular, the highest mesoporosity was observed for MC-3. Pt catalysts-supported on MC-X were prepared using formaldehyde as a reducing agent for use as a cathode catalyst in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC). The size of Pt crystallite was dependent on the properties of corresponding carbon support. As a whole, a carbon support with a high-surface area and high-mesoporosity served the best in terms of a high-dispersion of Pt nanoparticles. In a unit cell test of the PEMFC, a Pt catalyst with a high-mesoporosity and fine dispersion of metal showed an enhanced performance. The findings indicate that the surface area combined with the mesoporosity had a positive influence on the metal dispersion and the distribution of ionomer, leading to the enhanced cell performance.     

双模板剂法SAPO-34分子筛的合成及其MTO催化性能调变

以四乙基氢氧化铵（TEAOH）和二乙铵（DEA）为混合模板剂，在低投料硅铝比[n (SiO₂) ∶n (Al₂O₃)=0.2]及低模板剂用量[n (模板剂) ∶n (Al₂O₃)=1.9]下，考察了两种模板剂比例的调变对合成的SAPO-34分子筛物化性能及其催化甲醇制烯烃反应（MTO）催化性能的影响。研究发现，通过改变两种模板剂比例，可以明显调变SAPO-34分子筛晶粒尺寸、硅分布（晶粒表面和体相的硅分布）、硅原子的配位环境，从而影响其MTO催化反应的效果。在低模板剂用量制备的SAPO-34产品中，晶粒尺寸是影响其催化寿命的最主要因素，小晶粒分子筛因其扩散路径短有利于延长催化寿命。此外，硅分布也是影响催化寿命的因素之一，表面富硅的分子筛导致外表面积炭程度大于晶内积炭，积炭趋势由外向内发展，加速分子筛“假性”失活。硅分布还影响MTO反应产物分布，表面富硅分子筛外表面更易发生非择形催化，显著提高C₄～C₆等产物的选择性，不利于目标产物双烯（乙烯+丙烯）选择性的提高。     

Performance of organic–inorganic hybrid catalysts based on Ia-3d mesoporous silica

The cubic Ia-3d mesoporous silica with ordered large pores was synthesized from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and a small amount of 3-mercaptopropyltorimetoxysilane (MPTS) as the silica sources under the acidic conditions by using triblock copolymer P123 (EO₂₀PO₇₀EO₂₀) as a surfactant. After removal of the surfactant by the solvent extraction method, mercaptopropyl (MP) group (–CH₂CH₂CH₂SH) remained inside pores with a slight loss. The pore diameter of this mesoporous silica was about 5 nm. After converting the MP group to sulfopropyl (SP) group (–CH₂CH₂CH₂SO₃H) by the oxidation with H₂O₂, the amount of organic group was significantly reduced. However, it was possible to introduce additional organic groups by post-synthetic grafting. It was also possible to graft both MP and SP groups at the same time, and cooperative effect was observed in the acid-catalyzed condensation reaction of phenol with acetone. More organics were immobilized to the multi-dimensional cubic Ia-3d structure than the one-dimensional 2d-hexagonal structure. The catalyst having both SH and SO₃H groups showed much higher selectivity for bisphenol A than Amberlyst 15 and Nafion SAC-13, which could be explained by the SH group-assisted mechanism.     

Cr/SSZ-13催化二氧化碳氧化乙烷脱氢反应的研究

通过脱氢反应将低碳烷烃转化为同碳数的烯烃是烷烃高值化利用和烯烃原料多元化的重要途径。烷烃氧化脱氢制烯烃的反应具有不受反应平衡限制、积炭少、反应温度低等优点,一直是研究的热点。通过利用浸渍法制备不同铬（Cr）负载量的Cr_x/SSZ-13系列催化剂,采用氮气物理吸附、氨程序升温脱附（NH₃-TPD）、二氧化碳程序升温脱附（CO₂-TPD）、氢气程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）、紫外-可见吸收光谱（UV-Vis）以及高角度环形暗场-扫描透射电镜（HAADF-STEM）与耦合能谱分析（EDX-Mapping）等方法对催化剂进行了物性表征,并用微型固定床反应器评价催化剂对乙烷氧化脱氢制乙烯的催化性能,最终建立了Cr/SSZ-13催化剂的构效关系。研究发现,当n（二氧化硅）/n（氧化铝）=10时,Cr_1.5/SSZ-13-10催化剂上含有丰富的Cr³⁺物种,其中配位不饱和Cr³⁺是优异的脱氢活性位,有利于二氧化碳氧化乙烷脱氢反应的进行。因此,Cr_1.5/SSZ-13催化剂在650 ℃时表现出优异的催化性能,即二氧化碳转化率和乙烷转化率分别达到26.41%和53.2%,乙烯产率为38.83%。     

Synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties of SAPO-34 synthesized using diethylamine as a template

SAPO-34 molecular sieve was successfully synthesized using diethylamine (DEA) as a template. The influence of template concentration and silica concentration on the synthesis were investigated. Pure SAPO-34 could be obtained when n(DEA)/n(Al₂O₃)  1.5 and n(SiO₂)/n(Al₂O₃) > 0.1 in the synthesis gel. Further increase of DEA concentration in the starting gel [n(DEA)/n(Al₂O₃) > 3] has a negative effect on both crystallinity and crystal yield. The products were characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, NMR, FT-IR, TG-DTA and nitrogen adsorption techniques. It was found that SAPO-34 synthesized with DEA as a template has the characteristic of high silicon incorporation and exhibits good thermal and hydrothermal stability. The catalytic performance of SAPO-34 was tested by methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction and high olefins (C₂H₄ + C₃H₆) selectivity was obtained.     

n-Heptane Hydroisomerization over Mesoporous Zeolites made by Utilizing Carbon Particles as the Template for Mesoporosity

Mesoporous zeolites were successfully synthesized by utilizing carbon black particles during the sol–gel synthesis as a template for the network of mesopores. Mesoporous samples of ZSM-12, and Zeolite Beta were synthesized with this method with an average pore size about 400 Å. The size and the percentage of mesopores increases with the C/Si ratio. Our TEM investigations validate the formation of mesoporous networks and voids. This study proves that this method can be generalized for both high and low aluminum zeolites. Selected samples were tested for the hydroisomerization of n-heptane, a probe reaction of great importance for the upgrading of light naphthas. It was found that under identical operating conditions the mesoporous samples exhibited higher, almost fourfold, activity. The selectivity for C7 isomers was higher over the mesoporous samples in comparison with the regular ones. More specifically, the selectivities towards mono- and dibranched isomers increases monotonically with the degree of mesoporosity. The increase of branching over the mesoporous zeolite samples we observed is due to the combined effect of reduced residence times in the zeolite crystal for the reaction products, and the larger “average” pores of the mesoporous samples that allow the formation of bulkier reaction state intermediates. Moreover, the mesoporous samples resulted in generation of less light hydrocarbons (C3, C4). The above behavior is a testimony of the tremendous potential that mesoporous zeolite crystals offer and could be very beneficial for numerous refining processes.     

干胶转化法合成整体式SSZ-13分子筛

采用干胶转化法合成了整体式SSZ-13分子筛,先成型后晶化,系统地考察了物料配比及晶化条件对合成结果的影响,通过X射线衍射（XRD）、X射线荧光（XRF）、热重-差热分析仪（TG-DTA）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、氨气的程序升温吸附-脱附（NH₃-TPD）、傅里叶红外光谱仪（FI-IR）、液体核磁共振谱（NMR）对产物进行表征分析,并讨论了混合模板剂N,N,N-三甲基-1-金刚烷氢氧化铵和氯化胆碱在晶化过程中起的作用。结果表明,合成的整体式SSZ-13分子筛具有典型的介孔堆积孔、较大的比表面积,在空气中热稳定性良好。氯化胆碱加速了分子筛晶化,缩短了晶化时间,提高产物的结晶度,明显降低了N,N,N-三甲基-1-金刚烷氢氧化铵的使用量,起到了辅助结构导向的作用,且混合模板剂均填充产物孔道。     

Synthesis of an active quaternary phosphonium salt and its application to the Wittig reaction: Kinetic study

The synthesis of liquid crystal methyl [4-(nonyloxy) styryl] benzoate was achieved in four stages. First, toluic acid [1] was brominated with N-bromosuccinimide in refluxing CCl₄ to form 4-bromotoluic acid [2] (BTA); second, BTA was esterified with methanol in SOCl₂/CH₂Cl₂ to afford methyl (4-bromomethyl) benzoate [3] (BME); third, BME was condensed with triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) in CH₂Cl₂ to produce the active Wittig reagent methyl (4-methylbenzoate) triphenylphosphonium bromide [4] (MBPB) and fourth, MBPB reacted with 4-nonyloxybenzaldehyde to produce MNSB in high yield. Each of these four reactions was carried out in a separate homogeneous organic solution and the effects of the reaction conditions in each reaction as well as a kinetic model for each individual reaction were studied. Furthermore, the active reagent was applied to the reaction of 4-nonyloxybenzaldehyde (n-C₉H₁₉O(C₆H₄)CHO) to synthesise cis-(E) and trans-(Z)methyl[4-(nonyloxy)styryl]benzoate (n-C₉H₁₉(C₆H₄)CHCH(C₆H₄)COOCH₃) from a two-phase medium alkaline solution of NaOH/organic solvent. High conversion and high selectivity were obtained via this reaction.     

CO2/N2开关型脒基表面活性剂软模板制备介孔二氧化硅

模板法是制备介孔SiO₂的常用方法之一,而模板法通常需要脱除模板后才能得到介孔结构。以传统表面活性剂为模板合成介孔二氧化硅,除模板方法还有高温焙烧、溶剂萃取等,但这些方法均存在一定的缺点,如导致结构坍塌、消耗大量溶剂等。本文采用开关型表面活性剂N'-十二烷基-N,N-二甲基乙基脒碳酸氢盐为模板剂,以正硅酸四乙酯(TEOS)为硅源在碱性条件下合成SiO₂。与常规除模板法不同,本实验在反应结束后加热并通入N₂使表面活性剂分解失去表面活性,用水和丙酮洗涤后得到了形貌规整、孔道有序、具有较高比表面积和孔容的介孔SiO₂。同时还研究了有机盐乙二胺四乙酸二钠(Na₂EDTA)对介孔有序度、所得介孔材料比表面积、孔容孔径和模板残留量的影响。     

Thermoregulated phase transfer ligands and catalysis. III. Aqueous/organic two-phase hydroformylation of higher olefins by thermoregulated phase-transfer catalysis

A series of poly(ethylene oxide)-substituted triphenylphosphines, Ph_3−mP[C₆H₄-p-(OCH₂CH₂)_nOH]_m (PEO-TPPs; 1a m=1, 1b m=2, 1c m=3; N=m×n=8–25), have been prepared by the ethoxylation of mono-, di-, and tri-p-hydroxytriphenylphosphines. PEO-TPPs demonstrate an inverse temperature-dependent solubility in water, and possess distinct cloud points range from 26°C to 90°C.

Based on the clouding property of PEO-TPPs, a new line of aqueous/organic two-phase catalysis termed the thermoregulated phase-transfer catalysis (TRPTC) has been described. That is, the catalyst transfers into the organic phase to catalyze a reaction at a higher temperature, and returns to the aqueous phase to be separated from the products at a lower temperature. Application of this novel strategy to the rhodium-catalyzed two-phase hydroformylation of higher olefins gave desirable results with an average turnover frequency of 180 h⁻¹ for 1-dodecene. The TRPTC is suitable for carrying out a reaction with extremely water-immiscible substrate in the aqueous/organic two-phase system. Thus, the application scope of the classical two-phase catalysis has been widened.     

Phi zeolite synthesized by template-free method for selective catalytic reduction of NO

Nitrogen oxide (NO_x) is one of the major air pollutants. Using a copper-based zeolite with a chabazite structure (CHA) as a catalyst, the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology can effectively remove NO_x. This work introduces a low silica CHA type zeolite with structural defects (zeolite Phi, with Si/Al of 4.7). The zeolite Phi is synthesized through a hydrothermal method without adding any template, which is low-cost and environment-friendly. The Cu-exchanged Phi is abundant of surface acidity and isolated Cu²⁺, showing a superior low-temperature activity, a wide work temperature window and a good hydrothermal stability. The presence of Na or Mg decreases the surface acidity and isolated Cu²⁺. The hydrothermally aged Na,Cu/Phi and Mg,Cu/Phi present different levels of framework collapse, which correspondingly induces catalyst deactivation.     

无模板法合成的Phi分子筛在NO选择性催化还原中的应用

氮氧化物（NO_x）是大气中的一种主要污染物。采用具有菱沸石结构（CHA）的铜基分子筛作为催化剂,通过选择性催化还原（SCR）技术可有效去除NO_x。采用一种经济环保的制备方法,在不使用模板剂的条件下水热合成一种具有结构缺陷的低硅铝比CHA型分子筛（Phi,Si/Al=4.7）。结果表明,经Cu离子交换制备的Cu/Phi具有最丰富的表面酸性与孤立态Cu²⁺,表现出较好的低温活性、较宽的工作温度窗口以及良好的水热稳定性。Na或Mg的存在降低了Cu/Phi的表面酸性及孤立态Cu²⁺的含量,水热老化后的Na,Cu/Phi和Mg,Cu/Phi均呈现出不同程度的骨架坍塌,相应导致了催化剂失活。     

Oxygen sorptivity of mesoporous aluminosilicate modified by Co-salen complex

Mesoporous aluminosilicate, FSM-16 (Al-FSM-16(n)), was functionalized by Co-salen modification. The Si/Al ratio, n, was varied from 12.8 to 60.0, and inclusion of Co-salen (N,N^′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediaminocobalt(II)) was carried out by a novel preparative method comprising Co²⁺ ion exchange in a nonaqueous solution of cobalt(II) acetate and chelation with salen-H₂ (N,N^′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine). Prominent O₂ sorptivity was imparted to this mesoporous material and the amount of O₂ sorbed on Co-salen-Al-FSM-16(60.0) was 0.275 mmol g⁻¹ at 298 K, significantly larger than that on Al-FSM-16(60.0) itself (0.085 mmol g⁻¹). The O₂ sorption on Co-salen-Al-FSM-16(60.0) remarkably proceeded under a pressure around 20 kPa at 298 K, which was similar to powdery, free Co-salen. The maximum O₂/Co-salen ratio for Co-salen included in mesopores was seven times as large as that for neat Co-salen. The pore structure of Al-FSM-16(n) with a high n value was retained through the modification as evidenced by XRD, TEM and N₂ adsorption measurements, but that of Al-FSM-16(12.8) was partly collapsed.     

Synthesis of ordered small pore mesoporous silicates with tailorable pore structures and sizes by polyoxyethylene alkyl amine surfactant

Ordered mesoporous silicates with tailorable pore structures and small pore sizes have been synthesized by using polyoxyethylene alkyl amine surfactant PN-430 [CH₃(CH₂)₁₇N(EO)_x(EO)_y, x + y = 5] as a structure-directing agent under acidic condition. Two-dimensional (2-D) hexagonal (p6mm) mesoporous silicates have been prepared via an evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process. The N₂ sorption isotherms show that the product has a small uniform pore size distribution of 1.8 nm by BJH model, a BET surface area of 730 m²/g and a pore volume of 0.36 cm³/g. 3-D cubic (Pm-3n) mesoporous silicate with small uniform pore size (1.76 nm) can also be prepared at high concentration of PN-430 by EISA method in tetrahydrofuran solvent. The solvothermal post-treatment by n-hexane at 70 °C for 3 d to the above material results in the phase transition of the mesostructure from Pm-3n to P6₃/mmc based on XRD and TEM analyses. In comparison, by using nonionic oligometric alkyl-ethylene oxide surfactant such as Brij 78 (C₁₈H₃₇EO₂₀) or Triton X-100 (CH₃C(CH₃)₂CH₂C(CH₃)₂C₆H₄ EO₁₀) as co-templates, high-quality hexagonal (p6mm) small pore mesoporous silicates have also been prepared in ethanol media. Our results show that the blend templates composed of PN-430 and a small amount of nonionic surfactant can increase the efficiency of organic and inorganic hybrid species assembly, improve the quality of the structural regularity, and decrease the pore size to about 1.65 nm.     

再生时间对甲醇制烯烃催化剂水蒸气再生过程的影响

对甲醇制烯烃（MTO）过程失活催化剂采用水蒸气再生不仅可以减少二氧化碳排放,而且能提高低碳烯烃选择性,具有很好的应用前景。本文针对工业MTO过程使用的SAPO-34分子筛催化剂,研究了再生时间对水蒸气再生过程的影响。采用XRD、NH₃-TPD、TGA、FTIR、GC-MS以及N₂物理吸脱附表征手段对再生催化剂样品的晶体结构、酸性、残炭性质以及结构参数进行了表征,并考察再生催化剂的MTO反应性能。结果表明,再生时间越长,再生催化剂上残炭量越低,其酸性、比表面积和孔结构等能较好地恢复,在MTO反应中表现出更长的催化寿命。在再生过程中,催化剂上的残炭物种由芘、菲等大分子量的有机物转变为对MTO具有反应活性的萘等小分子有机物;但是可溶性残炭物种随着再生时间的延长而减少,从而使得初始低碳烯烃选择性有所降低。     

Mesoporous zeolite single crystal catalysts: Diffusion and catalysis in hierarchical zeolites

During the last years, several new routes to produce zeolites with controlled mesoporosity have appeared. Moreover, an improved catalytic performance of the resulting mesoporous zeolites over conventional zeolites has been demonstrated in several reactions. In most cases, the mesoporous zeolites exhibit higher catalytic activity, but in some cases also improved selectivity and longer catalyst lifetime has been reported. The beneficial effects of introducing mesopores into the zeolites has in most instances been attributed to improved mass transport to and from the active sites located in the zeolite micropores. Here, we briefly discuss the most important ways of introducing mesopores into zeolites and, for the first time, we show experimentally that the presence of mesopores dramatically increases the rate of diffusion in zeolite catalysts. This is done by studying the elution of iso-butane from packed beds of conventional and mesoporous zeolite catalysts. Moreover, we discuss in detail the recent observation of improved activity and selectivity in the alkylation of benzene with ethene using mesoporous zeolite single crystal catalysts. For this reaction, we show by calculation of the Thiele modulus that this improved performance can be mainly attributed to a diffusional limitation of ethylbenzene in the zeolite pores. This is verified in new ethylbenzene dealkylation experiments where mesoporous zeolite catalysts show significantly improved activity over conventional zeolite catalysts.     

Environment-friendly synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds

A novel environment-friendly vapour phase synthesis of different classes of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds was developed using non-hazardous, commercially available and low cost feeds. 2-Methyl-8-ethylquinoline (MEQUI) was obtained from 2-ethylaniline (2-ETAN) and ethylene glycol (EG) or chloroethanol (CE), operating at high temperature in the presence of acid-treated K10 montmorillonite or ZnCl₂/K10 montmorillonite. At lower temperatures and using copper chromite catalysts, 7-ethylindole (7-ETI) or 5-ethylindole (5-ETI) were obtained from 2-ETAN or 4-ethylaniline (4-ETAN), respectively, and EG; excess of alkylaniline was required to avoid the formation of polyalkylated by-products. Mixing SiO₂ with the best copper chromite, made it possible to operate with higher LHSV values, thus improving the yield in alkylindoles. Finally, N-(2-ethylphenyl)pyrrole (EPP) and N-(2-ethylphenyl)pyrrolidine (EPD) were synthesised using a commercial copper chromite catalyst and feeding 2-ETAN and 2,3-dihydrofuran (DHF), EPP being favoured by high temperatures and absence of water in the feed. The possible reaction pathway for each synthesis is proposed, to evidence the key features of the best catalysts identified.
