High Selectivity to Aromatics by a Mg and Na Co-modified Catalyst in Direct Conversion of Syngas.

ABSTRACT: The demand for aromatics, especially benzene, toluene, and xylene, has been increased in recent years as the crucial feedstocks of coatings and pharmaceutical industry. In this work, a modified Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalyst FeNaMg was fabricated via a sol-precipitation method and integrated with an HZSM-5 aromatization catalyst for the aromatics synthesis from syngas by a one-step process. Syngas was first converted to lower olefins as intermediates on the active component of the FeNaMg catalyst followed by aromatization on zeolite. Different characterization approaches, such as BET, XRD, XPS, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of CO, TG, and SEM, revealed that Mg efficiently optimized physicochemical properties of the Fe-based catalyst by generating a MgFe2O4 spinel structure. Further investigation demonstrated that the MgFe2O4 spinel structure could increase the syngas adsorption area, facilitating the reduction and carburization of the Fe phase, while Mg decreased CO2 selectivity (31.26 to21%) by restraining the water–gas shift reaction and improved the utilization efficiency of carbon. At the same time, alkali metal Na changed the surface electronic environment of the FTS catalyst to enhance CO adsorption as an electronic promoter, which suppressed methane formation by restraining over hydrogenation. Therefore, the synergism that existed between Mg and Na during the reaction escalated the CO conversion and aromatics selectivity to 96.19 and 51.38%, respectively.

Direct Conversion of Syngas to Light Olefins through Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis over Fe-Zr Catalysts Modified with Sodium.

Project description:Fe-Zr-Na catalysts synthesized by coprecipitation and impregnation methods were implemented to investigate the promoting effects of Na and Zr on the iron-based catalyst for high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (HTFT). The catalysts were characterized by Ar adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, CO temperature-programmed desorption, H2 temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MES). The results indicated that Na changed the active sites on the catalyst surface for the CO and hydrogen adsorption, owing to the electron migration from Na to Fe atoms, which resulted in an enhanced CO dissociative adsorption and a decrease in hydrogen adsorption on the metallic Fe surface. The decreased H/C ratio on the catalyst surface accounted for the increased chain propagation and weakened hydrogenation of light olefins. Besides, Na could also facilitate the carbonization of catalysts and protect the iron carbide against oxidation, which provides more active sites for HTFT reaction and is beneficial to the C-C coupling. Zr could decrease the hematite crystallite size and stabilize the active phase to improve the HTFT activity. At an optimal Na loading of 1.0 wt %, the Fe-Zr-1.0Na catalyst exhibited the highest light olefin selectivity of 35.8% in the hydrocarbon distribution at a CO conversion of 95.2%.

Direct Conversion of Syngas to Light Olefins over a ZnCrO x + H-SSZ-13 Bifunctional Catalyst.

Project description:In recent years, bifunctional catalysts for the syngas-to-olefins (STO) reaction via the oxide-zeolite (OX-ZEO) strategy has been intensively investigated. However, the bifunctional catalyst containing H-SSZ-13 with a 100% H+-exchanging degree for the STO reaction has not been developed because of the high selectivity to paraffin. Here, we report a ZnCrO x + H-SSZ-13 bifunctional catalyst, which contains the submicron H-SSZ-13 with adequate acidic strength. Light olefins in hydrocarbon reached 70.8% at a CO conversion of 20.9% over the ZnCrO x + H-SSZ-13(23S) bifunctional catalyst at 653 K, 1.0 MPa, and GHSV = 6000 mL·g-1·h-1 after 800 min of STO reaction. The effect of CO and H2 on the C-C coupling was discussed by carrying out the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reaction under a similar atmosphere as that of the STO reaction. H2 and CO should play a more dominant role than the conventional hydrogen transfer reaction on the undesired high selectivity of paraffins. These findings provide new insight into the design of the bifunctional catalyst for the STO process via the OX-ZEO strategy.

Multifunctional Catalyst Combination for the Direct Conversion of CO2 to Propane.

Project description:The production of carbon-rich hydrocarbons via CO2 valorization is essential for the transition to renewable, non-fossil-fuel-based energy sources. However, most of the recent works in the state of the art are devoted to the formation of olefins and aromatics, ignoring the rest of the hydrocarbon commodities that, like propane, are essential to our economy. Hence, in this work, we have developed a highly active and selective PdZn/ZrO2+SAPO-34 multifunctional catalyst for the direct conversion of CO2 to propane. Our multifunctional system displays a total selectivity to propane higher than 50% (with 20% CO, 6% C1, 13% C2, 10% C4, and 1% C5) and a CO2 conversion close to 40% at 350 °C, 50 bar, and 1500 mL g-1 h-1. We attribute these results to the synergy between the intimately mixed PdZn/ZrO2 and SAPO-34 components that shifts the overall reaction equilibrium, boosting CO2 conversion and minimizing CO selectivity. Comparison to a PdZn/ZrO2+ZSM-5 system showed that propane selectivity is further boosted by the topology of SAPO-34. The presence of Pd in the catalyst drives paraffin production via hydrogenation, with more than 99.9% of the products being saturated hydrocarbons, offering very important advantages for the purification of the products.

Design of a core-shell catalyst: an effective strategy for suppressing side reactions in syngas for direct selective conversion to light olefins.

Project description:An elegant catalyst is designed via the encapsulation of metallic oxide Zn-Cr inside of zeolite SAPO34 as a core-shell structure (Zn-Cr@SAPO) to realize the coupling of methanol-synthesis and methanol-to-olefin reactions. It can not only break through the limitation of the Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution but can also overcome the disadvantages of physical mixture catalysts, such as excessive CO2 formation. The confinement effect, hierarchical structure and extremely short distance between the two active components result in the Zn-Cr@SAPO capsule catalyst having better mass transfer and diffusion with a boosted synergistic effect. Due to the difference between the adsorption energies of the Zn-Cr metallic oxide/SAPO zeolite physical mixture and capsule catalysts, the produced water and light olefins are easily removed from the Zn-Cr@SAPO capsule catalyst after formation, suppressing the side reactions. The light olefin space time yield (STY) of the capsule catalyst is more than twice that of the typical physical mixture catalyst. The designed capsule catalyst has superior potential for scale-up in industrial applications while simultaneously extending the capabilities of hybrid catalysts for other tandem catalysis reactions through this strategy.

A nonmetallic plasmonic catalyst for photothermal CO2 flow conversion with high activity, selectivity and durability.

Project description:The meticulous design of active sites and light absorbers holds the key to the development of high-performance photothermal catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. Here, we report a nonmetallic plasmonic catalyst of Mo2N/MoO2-x nanosheets by integrating a localized surface plasmon resonance effect with two distinct types of active sites for CO2 hydrogenation. Leveraging the synergism of dual active sites, H2 and CO2 molecules can be simultaneously adsorbed and activated on N atom and O vacancy, respectively. Meanwhile, the plasmonic effect of this noble-metal-free catalyst signifies its promising ability to convert photon energy into localized heat. Consequently, Mo2N/MoO2-x nanosheets exhibit remarkable photothermal catalytic performance in reverse water-gas shift reaction. Under continuous full-spectrum light irradiation (3 W·cm-2) for a duration of 168 h, the nanosheets achieve a CO yield rate of 355 mmol·gcat-1·h-1 in a flow reactor with a selectivity exceeding 99%. This work offers valuable insights into the precise design of noble-metal-free active sites and the development of plasmonic catalysts for reducing carbon footprints.

Catalytic conversion of glycerol and co-feeds (fatty acids, alcohols, and alkanes) to bio-based aromatics: remarkable and unprecedented synergetic effects on catalyst performance.

Project description:Glycerol is an attractive bio-based platform chemical that can be converted to a variety of bio-based chemicals. We here report a catalytic co-conversion strategy where glycerol in combination with a second (bio-)feed (fatty acids, alcohols, alkanes) is used for the production of bio-based aromatics (BTX). Experiments were performed in a fixed bed reactor (10 g catalyst loading and WHSV of (co-)feed of 1 h-1) at 550 °C using a technical H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst. Synergistic effects of the co-feeding on the peak BTX carbon yield, product selectivity, total BTX productivity, catalyst life-time, and catalyst regenerability were observed and quantified. Best results were obtained for the co-conversion of glycerol and oleic acid (45/55 wt%), showing a peak BTX carbon yield of 26.7 C%. The distribution of C and H of the individual co-feeds in the BTX product was investigated using an integrated fast pyrolysis-GC-Orbitrap MS unit, showing that the aromatics are formed from both glycerol and the co-feed. The results of this study may be used to develop optimized co-feeding strategies for BTX formation.

Conditions for the Joint Conversion of CO2 and Syngas in the Direct Synthesis of Light Olefins Using In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 Catalyst.

Project description:The conditions for promoting the joint conversion of CO2 and syngas in the direct synthesis of light olefins have been studied. In addition, given the relevance for the viability of the process, the stability of the In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 (InZr/S34) catalyst has also been pursued. The CO+CO2 (CO x ) hydrogenation experimental runs were conducted in a packed bed isothermal reactor under the following conditions: 375-425 °C; 20-40 bar; space time, 1.25-20 gcatalyst h molC -1; H2/(CO x ) ratio in the feed, 1-3; CO2/(CO x ) ratio in the feed, 0.5; time on stream (TOS), up to 24 h. Analyzing the reaction indices (CO2 and CO x conversions, yield and selectivity of olefins and paraffins, and stability), the following have been established as suitable conditions: 400 °C, 30 bar, 5-10 gcat h molC -1, CO2/CO x = 0.5, and H2/CO x = 3. Under these conditions, the catalyst is stable (after an initial period of deactivation by coke), and olefin yield and selectivity surpass 4 and 70%, respectively, with light paraffins as byproducts. Produced olefin yields follow propylene > ethylene > butenes. The conditions of the process (low pressure and low H2/CO x ratio) may facilitate the integration of sustainable H2 production with PEM electrolyzers and the covalorization of CO2 and syngas obtained from biomass.

Carboxylic acid-modified metal oxide catalyst for selectivity-tunable aerobic ammoxidation.

Project description:Controlling the reaction selectivity of a heterobifunctional molecule is a fundamental challenge in many catalytic processes. Recent efforts to design chemoselective catalysts have focused on modifying the surface of metal nanoparticle materials having tunable properties. However, precise control over the surface properties of base-metal oxide catalysts remains a challenge. Here, we show that green modification of the surface with carboxylates can be used to tune the ammoxidation selectivity toward the desired products during the reaction of hydroxyaldehyde on manganese oxide catalysts. These modifications improve the selectivity for hydroxynitrile from 0 to 92% under identical reaction conditions. The product distribution of dinitrile and hydroxynitrile can be continuously tuned by adjusting the amount of carboxylate modifier. This property was attributed to the selective decrease in the hydroxyl adsorption affinity of the manganese oxides by the adsorbed carboxylate groups. The selectivity enhancement is not affected by the tail structure of the carboxylic acid.

Direct DME synthesis on CZZ/H-FER from variable CO2/CO syngas feeds.

Project description:Catalyst systems for the conversion of synthesis gas, which are tolerant to fluctuating CO/CO2 gas compositions, have great potential for process-technical applications, related to the expected changes in the supply of synthesis gas. Copper-based catalysts usually used in the synthesis of methanol play an important role in this context. We investigated the productivity characteristics for their application in direct dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis as a function of the CO2/CO x ratio over the complete range from 0 to 1. For this purpose, we compared an industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 methanol catalyst with a self-developed Cu/ZnO/ZrO2 catalyst prepared by a continuous coprecipitation approach. For DME synthesis, catalysts were combined with two commercial dehydration catalysts, H-FER 20 and γ-Al2O3, respectively. Using a standard testing procedure, we determined the productivity characteristics in a temperature range between 483 K and 523 K in a fixed bed reactor. The combination of Cu/ZnO/ZrO2 and H-FER 20 provided the highest DME productivity with up to 1017 gDME (kgCu h)-1 at 523 K, 50 bar and 36 000 mlN (g h)-1 and achieved DME productivities higher than 689 gDME (kgCu h)-1 at all investigated CO2/CO x ratios under the mentioned conditions. With the use of Cu/ZnO/ZrO2//H-FER 20 a promising operating range between CO2/CO x 0.47 and 0.8 was found where CO as well as CO2 can be converted with high DME selectivity. First results on the long-term stability of the system Cu/ZnO/ZrO2//H-FER 20 showed an overall reduction of 27.0% over 545 h time on stream and 14.6% between 200 h and 545 h under variable feed conditions with a consistently high DME selectivity.

Ultraefficient homogeneous catalyst for the CO2-to-CO electrochemical conversion.

Project description:A very efficient electrogenerated Fe(0) porphyrin catalyst was obtained by substituting in tetraphenylporphyrin two of the opposite phenyl rings by ortho-, ortho'-phenol groups while the other two are perfluorinated. It proves to be an excellent catalyst of the CO2-to-CO conversion as to selectivity (the CO faradaic yield is nearly quantitative), overpotential, and turnover frequency. Benchmarking with other catalysts, through catalytic Tafel plots, shows that it is the most efficient, to the best of our knowledge, homogeneous molecular catalyst of the CO2-to-CO conversion at present. Comparison with another Fe(0) tetraphenylporphyrin bearing eight ortho-, ortho'-phenol functionalities launches a general strategy where changes in substituents will be designed so as to optimize the operational combination of all catalyst elements of merit.
