Microemulsion Derived Titania Nanospheres: An Improved Pt Supported Catalyst for Glycerol Aqueous Phase Reforming.

ABSTRACT: Glycerol aqueous phase reforming (APR) produces hydrogen and interesting compounds at relatively mild temperatures. Among APR catalysts investigated in literature, little attention has been given to Pt supported on TiO₂. Therefore, herein we propose an innovative titania support which can be obtained through an optimized microemulsion technique. This procedure provided high surface area titania nanospheres, with a peculiar high density of weak acidic sites. The material was tested in the catalytic glycerol APR after Pt deposition. A mechanism hypothesis was drawn, which evidenced the pathways giving the main products. When compared with a commercial TiO₂ support, the synthetized titania provided higher hydrogen selectivity and glycerol conversion thanks to improved catalytic activity and ability to prompt consecutive dehydrogenation reactions. This was correlated to an enhanced cooperation between Pt nanoparticles and the acid sites of the support.

Supported Pt Nanoparticles on Mesoporous Titania for Selective Hydrogenation of Phenylacetylene.

Project description:Semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is one of the most important industrial reactions. However, it remains technically challenging to obtain high alkene selectivity especially at a high alkyne conversion because of kinetically favorable over hydrogenation. In this contribution, we show that supported ultrasmall Pt nanoparticles (2.5 nm) on mesoporous TiO2 (Pt@mTiO2) remarkably improve catalytic performance toward semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene. Pt@mTiO2 is prepared by co-assembly of Pt and Ti precursors with silica colloidal templates via an evaporation-induced self-assembly process, followed by further calcination for thermal decomposition of Pt precursors and crystallization of mTiO2 simultaneously. As-resultant Pt@mTiO2 discloses a high hydrogenation activity of phenylacetylene, which is 2.5 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C. More interestingly, styrene selectivity over Pt@mTiO2 remains 100% in a wide phenylacetylene conversion window (20-75%). The styrene selectivity is >80% even at 100% phenylacetylene conversion while that of the commercial Pt/C is 0%. The remarkable styrene selectivity of the Pt@mTiO2 is derived from the weakened styrene adsorption strength on the atop Pt sites as observed by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy with CO as a probe molecule (CO-DRIFTS). Our strategy provides a new avenue for promoting alkyne to alkene transformation in the kinetically unfavorable region through novel catalyst preparation.

High Coke-Resistance Pt/Mg1-xNixO Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various kinds of analytical techniques including XRD, BET, XRF, TPR-H2, TGA, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. Characterization of spent catalyst further confirms that Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst has high coke-resistance for dry reforming. Thus, the catalyst demonstrated in this study, offers a promising catalyst for resolving the dilemma between dispersion and reducibility of supported metal, as well as activity and stability during high temperature reactions.

Sibunit-Supported Mono- and Bimetallic Catalysts Used in Aqueous-Phase Reforming of Xylitol.

Project description:Carbon-supported mono- and bimetallic catalysts prepared via incipient wetness impregnation were systematically studied in aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of xylitol aiming at hydrogen production from biomass. The catalytic performance of several VIII group metals and their combinations, such as Pt, Ni, Pt-Ni, Re, Pt-Re, Ru, Pt-Ru, and Pt-Co, was compared for xylitol APR in a fixed-bed reactor at 225 °C and 29.7 bar (N2). Ni/C, Ru/C, and Re/C catalysts displayed significantly lower activity compared to others. Activity and selectivity to H2 of bimetallic Pt-Ni/C, Pt-Co/C, and Pt-Ru/C catalysts were close to that of Pt/C. Pt-Re/C catalyst showed an outstanding performance which was accompanied by a shift of the reaction pathways to the alkane formation and thereby lower hydrogen selectivity. Addition of the second metal to Pt was not found to be beneficial for hydrogen production, thus leaving Pt/C as the optimum carbon-supported catalyst.

Catalytic Oxidation of Glycerol over Pt Supported on MOF-Derived Carbon Nanosheets.

Project description:A series of nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets (NPCNs) doped with transition-metal-supported Pt catalysts were prepared by colloidal deposition and evaluated for the selective oxidation of glycerol to glyceric acid (GLYA) under nonalkaline conditions. The transition metal contained in the catalyst was found to affect its performance and selectivity for GLYA, with the Pt/Zr@NPCN catalyst showing the highest catalytic activity and selectivity. These materials were characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and CO2 temperature-programmed desorption. The results showed that the small size of the Pt nanoparticles, the interaction between the Pt nanoparticles and the support, and the unique textural properties of the catalyst all promoted glycerol conversion and GLYA selectivity. A Zr concentration of 1.5 wt % and a support preparation temperature of 800 °C were found to provide a catalyst with the optimal performance that exhibited a glycerol conversion and selectivity for GLYA of 68.62 and 77.29%, respectively, at an initial O2 pressure of 10 bar and 60 °C after 6 h. Even after being recycled five times, this material provided a GLYA selectivity of approximately 75%, although the glycerol conversion decreased from 68 to 50%. The insights may provide new suggestions on the design of efficient support for the selective oxidation of polyols.

Hydrogen production from CO<sub>2</sub> reforming of methane using zirconia supported nickel catalyst.

Project description:The use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel is an attractive and promising technology as it contributes to the reduction of environmentally harmful gases. Finding environmentally friendly cheap active metal-based catalysts for H2 rich syngas via dry reforming of methane (DRM) for industrial applications has posed a challenge. In this paper, H2 production via CO2 reforming of methane was investigated over 5Ni/ZrO2 catalysts. The catalytic performance of all prepared catalysts was evaluated in a microtubular fixed bed reactor under similar reaction conditions (i.e., activation temperature at 700 °C, feed flow rate of 70 ml min-1, reaction temperature 700 °C for 440 min reaction time) of CO2 reforming of methane. Different characterization techniques such as; BET, CO2-TPD, TGA, XRPD, Raman, and TEM, were used. The study of the textural properties of catalysts established that the BET of pristine catalyst (5NiZr) was enhanced by the addition of modifiers and promoters. A bimodal TPR distribution in the reduction temperature range of 250-550 °C was recorded. In the CO2-TPD analysis, the strength of basicity came in this order: 5Ni15YZr > 5Ni10YZr > 5Ni5YZr > 5NiZr > 5Ni20YZr. The investigation of catalyst modifiers (MgO and Y2O3) resulted in the Y2O3 modifier improving the activity and catalytic performance better than MgO, which generated a hydrogen yield of 22%. 15% Y2O3 modifier loading gave the highest H2 yield 53% in the phase of different loadings of yttria. The study of the influence of promoters (Cs, Ga, and Sr) revealed that the catalytic performance of 5Ni15YZr catalysts promoted with Sr towards the H2 yield enhanced the activity to 62%. The promoted catalysts displayed lower carbon deposition compared to the unpromoted catalyst, which provided 25.6 wt% weight loss.

Renewable Hydrogen Production by Aqueous Phase Reforming of Pure/Refined Crude Glycerol over Ni/Al-Ca Catalysts.

Project description:Renewable hydrogen production by aqueous phase reforming (APR) over Ni/Al-Ca catalysts was studied using pure or refined crude glycerol as feedstock. The APR was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at 238 °C, 37 absolute bar for 3 h, using a solution of 5 wt.% of glycerol, obtaining gas and liquid products. The catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method, calcined at different temperatures, and characterized before and after their use by several techniques (XRD, ICP-OES, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, CO2-TPD, FESEM, and N2-physisorption). Increasing the calcination temperature and adding Ca decreased the surface area from 256 to 188 m2/g, and its value after the APR changed depending on the feedstock used. The properties of the acid and basic sites of the catalysts influenced the H2 yield also depending on the feed used. The Ni crystallite was between 6 and 20 nm. In general, the incorporation of Ca into Ni-based catalysts and the increase of the calcination temperature improved H2 production, obtaining 188 mg H2/mol C fed during the APR of refined crude glycerol over Ni/AlCa-675 catalyst, which was calcined at 675 °C. This is a promising result from the point of view of enhancing the economic viability of biodiesel.

Influence of Boron, Tungsten and Molybdenum Modifiers on Zirconia Based Pt Catalyst for Glycerol Valorization.

Project description:The influence of boron, tungsten and molybdenum modifiers on zirconia-based Pt catalyst was studied for glycerol valorization. Zirconia modified supports were prepared by impregnation of ZrO? with either boric, silicontungstic or phosphomolybdic acids to obtain supports with enhanced Brönsted acidic properties. The modified supports were subsequently impregnated with chloroplatinic acid to obtain Pt-based catalysts. Pt incorporation resulted in the increase in Lewis acidity of the solids, being more significant for the Pt//W/ZrO? catalyst. Reduced Pt catalysts were tested for the liquid-phase glycerol hydrogenolysis, observing a synergistic effect between catalyst acid sites and metal function that proved to be crucial in glycerol hydrogenolysis. The Pt//W/ZrO? catalyst was the most active catalyst in this reaction, being the only leading to 1,3-PDO (45% sel., 160 °C) while Pt//Mo/ZrO? is the best option for 1,2-PDO (49% sel., 180 °C). Reusability studies carried out for Pt//W/ZrO? showed that catalytic activity dropped after the first use, remaining constant for the second and subsequent ones. Selectivity to reaction products also changes during reuses. Therefore, the selectivity to 1,2 PDO increases in the first reuse in detriment to the selectivity to n-propanol whereas the selectivity to 1,3-PDO remains constant along the uses. This behavior could be associated to the lixiviation of W species and/or catalyst fouling during reaction runs.

Effect of Holmium Oxide Loading on Nickel Catalyst Supported on Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia in Methane Dry Reforming.

Project description:The carbon dioxide reforming of methane has attracted attention from researchers owing to its possibility of both mitigating the hazards of reactants and producing useful chemical intermediates. In this framework, the activity of the nickel-based catalysts, supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia and promoted with holmium oxide (Ho2O3), was assessed in carbon dioxide reforming of methane at 800 °C. The catalysts were characterized by N2-physisorption, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of CO2, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The effect of holmium oxide weight percent loading (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3,0, 4.0, and 5.0 wt %) was examined owing to its impact on the developed catalysts. The optimum loading of Ho2O3 was found to be 4.0 wt %, where the methane and carbon dioxide conversions were 85 and 91%, respectively. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms specified the mesoporous aspect of the catalysts, while the SEM images displayed a morphology of agglomerated, porous particles. The TEM images of the spent catalyst displayed the formation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. TGA of the 4.0 wt % of Ho2O3 catalyst, experimented over 7-hour time-on-stream, displayed little weight loss (<14.0 wt %) owing to carbon formation, indicating the good resistance of the catalyst to carbon accumulation due to the enhancing ability of Ho2O3 and its adjustment of the support.

Influence of the Catalyst Particle Size on the Aqueous Phase Reforming of n-Butanol Over Rh/ZrO2.

Project description:Butanol is a by-product obtained from biomass that can be valorized through aqueous phase reforming. Rh/ZrO2 catalysts were prepared and characterized, varying the size of the support particles. The results showed a relatively mild effect of internal mass transport on butanol conversion. However, the influence of internal transport limitations on the product distribution was much stronger, promoting consecutive reactions, i.e., dehydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, and reforming of propane and ethane. Hydrogen consuming reactions, i.e., hydrogenolysis, were more strongly enhanced than hydrogen producing reactions due to internal concentration gradients. Large support particles deactivated faster, attributed to high concentrations of butyraldehyde inside the catalyst particles, enhancing deposit formation via aldol condensation reactions. Consequently, also the local butyric acid concentration was high, decreasing the local pH, enhancing Rh leaching. The influence of internal transfer limitation on product distribution and stability is discussed based on a reaction scheme with three main stages, i.e., (1) formation of liquid intermediates via dehydrogenation, (2) formation of gas via decarbonylation/decarboxylation reactions, and (3) hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis/reforming/dehydrogenation.
