Plasma-Assisted Immobilization of a Phosphonium Salt and Its Use as a Catalyst in the Valorization of CO2.

ABSTRACT: The first plasma-assisted immobilization of an organocatalyst, namely a bifunctional phosphonium salt in an amorphous hydrogenated carbon coating, is reported. This method makes the requirement for prefunctionalized supports redundant. The immobilized catalyst was characterized by solid-state 13 C and 31 P NMR spectroscopy, SEM, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The immobilized catalyst (1 mol %) was employed in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 . Notably, the efficiency of the plasma-treated catalyst on SiO2 was higher than those of the SiO2 support impregnated with the catalyst and even the homogeneous counterpart. After optimization of the reaction conditions, 13 terminal and four internal epoxides were converted with CO2 to the respective cyclic carbonates in yields of up to 99 %. Furthermore, the possibility to recycle the immobilized catalyst was evaluated. Even though the catalyst could be reused, the yields gradually decreased from the third run. However, this is the first example of the recycling of a plasma-immobilized catalyst, which opens new possibilities in the recovery and reuse of catalysts.

Plasma-assisted CO2 methanation: effects on the low-temperature activity of an Ni-Ce catalyst and reaction performance.

Project description:Ni-Ce three-dimensional material with macropore diameter of 146.6 ± 8.4 nm was synthesized and used as a methanation catalyst. Firstly, H2 reduction of the catalyst was conducted in the thermal fixed bed and plasma reactor, respectively, then X-ray diffraction (XRD) and CO2 temperature programmed desorption experiments on the two reduced samples were carried out to reveal the plasma effect on the catalyst's physico-chemical properties. It was found that plasma reduction created more abundant basic sites for CO2 adsorption, in particular the medium basic sites were even doubled compared with the thermal-reduced catalysts. The plasma-reduced catalyst exhibited excellent low-temperature activity, ca 50-60°C lower than the thermal catalyst (the maximum CO2 conversion point). Based on the optimum reduced catalyst, plasma effect in the reactor level was further investigated under high gas hour space velocity of approximately 50 000 h-1. The plasma reactor showed higher CO2 conversion capacity and efficiency than the thermal reactor.

Unprecedented Mechanochemical Synthesis and Heterogenization of a C-Scorpionate Au(III) Catalyst for Microwave-Assisted Biomass Valorization.

Project description:The transformation of biomass, a carbon resource presenting a huge potential to produce valuable chemicals, requires the search for sustainable catalytic routes. This work proposes the microwave-assisted oxidation of biomass -derived substrates, such as glycerol and the furfural derivatives 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HFCA), using the C-scorpionate dichloro-gold(III) complex [AuCl2(κ2-Tpm)]Cl (Tpm = HCpz3; pz = pyrazol-1-yl) as a catalyst, as prepared and supported on graphene, in solvent-free conditions. The unprecedented application of a mechanochemical procedure (in a planetary ball mill, in solid state) to synthesize a C-scorpionate complex, the [AuCl2(κ2-Tpm)]Cl, is disclosed. The immobilization of [AuCl2(κ2-Tpm)]Cl on graphene was performed using different methods, including some (e.g., microwave irradiation and liquid assisted grinding) for the first time. The structural properties and the performance of the prepared catalytic materials are presented and discussed.

Synthetic utility of an isolable nucleoside phosphonium salt.

Project description:The reaction of O6-benzyl-3',5'-bis- O-( tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2'-deoxyxanthosine with 1H-benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) yielded the nucleoside C-2 tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate salt as a stable, isolable species. This is in contrast to reactions of inosine nucleosides with BOP, where the in situ formed phosphonium salts undergo subsequent reaction to yield O6-(benzotriazol-1-yl)inosine derivatives. The phosphonium salt obtained from the 2'-deoxyxanthosine derivative can be effectively used to synthesize N2-modified 2'-deoxyguanosine analogues. Using this salt, a new synthesis of an acrolein-2'-deoxyguanosine adduct has also been accomplished.

Enhancing CO2-Valorization Using Clostridium autoethanogenum for Sustainable Fuel and Chemicals Production.

Project description:Acetogenic bacteria can convert waste gases into fuels and chemicals. Design of bioprocesses for waste carbon valorization requires quantification of steady-state carbon flows. Here, steady-state quantification of autotrophic chemostats containing Clostridium autoethanogenum grown on CO2 and H2 revealed that captured carbon (460 ± 80 mmol/gDCW/day) had a significant distribution to ethanol (54 ± 3 C-mol% with a 2.4 ± 0.3 g/L titer). We were impressed with this initial result, but also observed limitations to biomass concentration and growth rate. Metabolic modeling predicted culture performance and indicated significant metabolic adjustments when compared to fermentation with CO as the carbon source. Moreover, modeling highlighted flux to pyruvate, and subsequently reduced ferredoxin, as a target for improving CO2 and H2 fermentation. Supplementation with a small amount of CO enabled co-utilization with CO2, and enhanced CO2 fermentation performance significantly, while maintaining an industrially relevant product profile. Additionally, the highest specific flux through the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway was observed during co-utilization of CO2 and CO. Furthermore, the addition of CO led to superior CO2-valorizing characteristics (9.7 ± 0.4 g/L ethanol with a 66 ± 2 C-mol% distribution, and 540 ± 20 mmol CO2/gDCW/day). Similar industrial processes are commercial or currently being scaled up, indicating CO-supplemented CO2 and H2 fermentation has high potential for sustainable fuel and chemical production. This work also provides a reference dataset to advance our understanding of CO2 gas fermentation, which can contribute to mitigating climate change.

Energy Use of Flux Salt Recovery Using Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis for a CO2 Mineralisation Process.

Project description:Mineral carbonation routes have been extensively studied for almost two decades at Åbo Akademi University, focusing on the extraction of magnesium from magnesium silicates using ammonium sulfate (AS) and/or ammonium bisulfate (ABS) flux salt followed by carbonation. There is, however, a need for proper recovery and recirculation of chemicals involved. This study focused on the separation of AS, ABS and aqueous ammonia using different setups of bipolar membrane electrodialysis using both synthetic and rock-derived solutions. Bipolar membranes offer the possibility to split water, which in turn makes it possible to regenerate chemicals like acids and bases needed in mineral carbonation without excess gas formation. Tests were run in batch, continuous, and recirculating mode, and exergy (electricity) input during the tests was calculated. The results show that separation of ions was achieved, even if the solutions obtained were still too weak for use in the downstream process to control pH. Energy demand for separating 1 kg of NH4+ varied in the range 1.7, 3.4, 302 and 340 MJ/kg NH4+, depending on setup chosen. More work must hence be done in order to make the separation more efficient, such as narrowing the cell width.

Black indium oxide a photothermal CO2 hydrogenation catalyst.

Project description:Nanostructured forms of stoichiometric In2O3 are proving to be efficacious catalysts for the gas-phase hydrogenation of CO2. These conversions can be facilitated using either heat or light; however, until now, the limited optical absorption intensity evidenced by the pale-yellow color of In2O3 has prevented the use of both together. To take advantage of the heat and light content of solar energy, it would be advantageous to make indium oxide black. Herein, we present a synthetic route to tune the color of In2O3 to pitch black by controlling its degree of non-stoichiometry. Black indium oxide comprises amorphous non-stoichiometric domains of In2O3-x on a core of crystalline stoichiometric In2O3, and has 100% selectivity towards the hydrogenation of CO2 to CO with a turnover frequency of 2.44?s-1.

Light assisted antibody immobilization for bio-sensing.

Project description:Ultrashort UV pulses at 258 nm with repetition rate of 10 kHz have been used to irradiate buffer solution of antibody. The tryptophan residues strongly absorb this radiation thus becoming capable to disrupt the disulfide bridges located next to them. Due to their high reactivity the opened bridges can anchor a gold plate more efficiently than other sites of the macromolecule giving rise to preferential orientations of the variable part of the antibody. UV irradiation has been applied to anchor antiIgG antibody to the electrode of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) that lends itself as a sensor, the antibody acting as the bio-receptor. An increase of the QCM sensitivity and of the linear range has been measured when the antibody is irradiated with UV laser pulses. The photo-induced reactions leading to disulfide bridge breakage have been analyzed by means of a chemical assay that confirms our explanation. The control of disulfide bridges by UV light paves the way to important applications for sensing purpose since cysteine in combination with tryptophan can act as a hook to link refractory bio-receptors to surfaces.

CO2 Methanation: Nickel-Alumina Catalyst Prepared by Solid-State Combustion.

Project description:The development of solvent-free methods for the synthesis of catalysts is one of the main tasks of green chemistry. A nickel-alumina catalyst for CO2 methanation was synthesized by solid-state combustion method using hexakis-(imidazole) nickel (II) nitrate complex. Using X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), it was shown that the synthesized catalyst is characterized by the localization of easily reduced nickel oxide on alumina surface. This provided low-temperature activation of the catalyst in the reaction mixture containing 4 vol% CO2. In addition, the synthesized catalyst had higher activity in low-temperature CO2 methanation compared to industrial NIAP-07-01 catalyst, which contained almost three times more hard-to-reduce nickel-aluminum spinel. Thus, the proposed approaches to the synthesis and activation of the catalyst make it possible to simplify the catalyst preparation procedure and to abandon the use of solvents, which must be disposed of later on.
