Synthesis of SAPO-34 Nanoplates with High Si/Al Ratio and Improved Acid Site Density.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional SAPO-34 molecular sieves were synthesized by microwave hydrothermal process. The concentrations of structure directing agent (SDA), phosphoric acid, and silicon in the gel solution were varied and their effect on phase, shape, and composition of synthesized particles was studied. The synthesized particles were characterized by various techniques using SEM, XRD, BET, EDX, and NH₃-TPD. Various morphologies of particles including isotropic, hyper rectangle, and nanoplates were obtained. It was found that the Si/Al ratio of the SAPO-34 particles was in a direct relationship with the density of acid sites. Moreover, the gel composition and preparation affected the chemistry of the synthesized particles. The slow addition of phosphoric acid improved the homogeneity of synthesis gel and resulted in SAPO-34 nanoplates with high density of acid sites, 3.482 mmol/g. The SAPO-34 nanoplates are expected to serve as a high performance catalyst due to the low mass transfer resistance and the high density of active sites.

Hierarchical SAPO-34 Catalysts as Host for Cu Active Sites.

Project description:Cu-containing hierarchical SAPO-34 catalysts were synthesized by the bottom-up method using different mesoporogen templates: CTAB encapsulated within ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and sucrose. A high fraction of the Cu centers exchanged in the hierarchical SAPO-34 architecture with high mesopore surface area and volume was achieved when CTAB was embedded within ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Physicochemical characterization was performed by using structural and spectroscopic techniques to elucidate the properties of hierarchical SAPO-34 before and after Cu introduction. The speciation of the Cu sites, investigated by DR UV-Vis, and the results of the catalytic tests indicated that the synergy between the textural properties of the hierarchical SAPO-34 framework, the high Cu loading, and the coordination and localization of the Cu sites in the hierarchical architecture is the key point to obtaining good preliminary results in the NO selective catalytic reduction with hydrocarbons (HC-SCR).

Hierarchical SAPO-34 Architectures with Tailored Acid Sites using Sustainable Sugar Templates.

Project description:In a distinct, bottom-up synthetic methodology, monosaccharides (fructose and glucose) and disaccharides (sucrose) have been used as mesoporogens to template hierarchical SAPO-34 catalysts. Detailed materials characterization, which includes solid-state magic angle spinning NMR and probe-based FTIR, reveals that, although the mesopore dimensions are modified by the identity of the sugar template, the desirable acid characteristics of the microporous framework are retained. When the activity of the hierarchical SAPO-34 catalysts was evaluated in the industrially relevant Beckmann rearrangement, under liquid-phase conditions, the enhanced mass-transport properties of sucrose-templated hierarchical SAPO-34 were found to deliver a superior yield of ?-caprolactam.

Unraveling the mysterious failure of Cu/SAPO-34 selective catalytic reduction catalysts.

Project description:Commercial Cu/SAPO-34 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts have experienced unexpected and quite perplexing failure. Understanding the causes at an atomic level is vital for the synthesis of more robust Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts. Here we show, via application of model catalysts with homogeneously dispersed isolated Cu ions, that Cu transformations resulting from low-temperature hydrothermal aging and ambient temperature storage can be semi-quantitatively probed with 2-dimensional pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance. Coupled with kinetics, additional material characterizations and DFT simulations, we propose the following catalyst deactivation steps: (1) detachment of Cu(II) ions from cationic positions in the form of Cu(OH)2; (2) irreversible hydrolysis of the SAPO-34 framework forming terminal Al species; and (3) interaction between Cu(OH)2 and terminal Al species forming SCR inactive, Cu-aluminate like species. Especially significant is that these reactions are greatly facilitated by condensed water molecules under wet ambient conditions, causing low temperature failure of the commercial Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts.

Effects of Si/Al Ratio on Passive NO<sub>x</sub> Adsorption Performance over Pd/Beta Zeolites.

Project description:In the current article, the effect of Si/Al ratio on the NOx adsorption and storage capacity over Pd/Beta with 1 wt% Pd loading was investigated. The XRD, 27Al NMR and 29Si NMR measurements were used to determine the structure of Pd/Beta zeolites. XAFS, XPS, CO-DRIFT, TEM and H2-TPR were used to identify the Pd species. The results showed that the NOx adsorption and storage capacity on Pd/Beta zeolites gradually decreased with the increase of Si/Al ratio. Pd/Beta-Si (Si-rich, Si/Al~260) rarely has NOx adsorption and storage capacity, while Pd/Beta-Al (Al-rich, Si/Al~6) and Pd/Beta-C (Common, Si/Al~25) exhibit excellent NOx adsorption and storage capacity and suitable desorption temperature. Pd/Beta-C has slightly lower desorption temperature compared to Pd/Beta-Al. The NOx adsorption and storage capacity increased for Pd/Beta-Al and Pd/Beta-C by hydrothermal aging treatment, while the NOx adsorption and storage capacity on Pd/Beta-Si had no change.

Stabilizing the framework of SAPO-34 zeolite toward long-term methanol-to-olefins conversion.

Project description:As a commercial MTO catalyst, SAPO-34 zeolite exhibits excellent recyclability probably due to its intrinsic good hydrothermal stability. However, the structural dynamic changes of SAPO-34 catalyst induced by hydrocarbon pool (HP) species and the water formed during the MTO conversion as well as its long-term stability after continuous regenerations are rarely investigated and poorly understood. Herein, the dynamic changes of SAPO-34 framework during the MTO conversion were identified by 1D 27Al, 31P MAS NMR, and 2D 31P-27Al HETCOR NMR spectroscopy. The breakage of T-O-T bonds in SAPO-34 catalyst during long-term continuous regenerations in the MTO conversion could be efficiently suppressed by pre-coking. The combination of catalyst pre-coking and water co-feeding is established to be an efficient strategy to promote the catalytic efficiency and long-term stability of SAPO-34 catalysts in the commercial MTO processes, also sheds light on the development of other high stable zeolite catalyst in the commercial catalysis.

Effect of Feedstock and Catalyst Impurities on the Methanol-to-Olefin Reaction over H-SAPO-34.

Project description:Operando UV/Vis spectroscopy with on-line mass spectrometry was used to study the effect of different types of impurities on the hydrocarbon pool species and the activity of H-SAPO-34 as a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) catalyst. Successive reaction cycles with different purity feedstocks were studied, with an intermittent regeneration step. The combined study of two distinct impurity types (i.e., feed and internal impurities) leads to new insights into MTO catalyst activation and deactivation mechanisms. In the presence of low amounts of feed impurities, the induction and active periods of the process are prolonged. Feed impurities are thus beneficial in the formation of the initial hydrocarbon pool, but also aid in the unwanted formation of deactivating coke species by a separate, competing mechanism favoring coke species over olefins. Further, feedstock impurities strongly influence the location of coke deposits, and thus influence the deactivation mechanism, whereas a study of the organic impurities retained after calcination reveals that these species are less relevant for catalyst activity and function as "seeds" for coke formation only.

Resolving atomic SAPO-34/18 intergrowth architectures for methanol conversion by identifying light atoms and bonds.

Project description:The micro-structures of catalyst materials basically affect their macro-architectures and catalytic performances. Atomically resolving the micro-structures of zeolite catalysts, which have been widely used in the methanol conversion, will bring us a deeper insight into their structure-property correlations. However, it is still challenging for the atomic imaging of silicoaluminophosphate zeolites by electron microscopy due to the limits of their electron beam sensitivity. Here, we achieve the real-space imaging of the atomic lattices in SAPO-34 and SAPO-18 zeolites, including the Al-O-P atoms and bonds, by the integrated differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (iDPC-STEM). The spatial distribution of SAPO-34 and SAPO-18 domains in SAPO-34/18 intergrowths can be clearly resolved. By changing the Si contents and templates in feed, we obtain two SAPO-34/18 catalysts, hierarchical and sandwich catalysts, with highly-mixed and separated SAPO-34 and SAPO-18 lattices respectively. The reduced diffusion distances of inside products greatly improve the catalytic performances of two catalysts in methanol conversion. Based on the observed distributions of lattices and elements in these catalysts, we can have a preliminary understanding on the correlation between the synthesis conditions and structures of SAPO-34/18 intergrowth catalysts to further modify their performances based on unique architectures.

Revealing heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si by AlP in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys.

Project description:The heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si can be attributed to the presence of AlP. Although P, in the form of AlP particles, is usually observed in the centre of primary Si, there is still a lack of detailed investigations on the distribution of P within primary Si and eutectic Si in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys at the atomic scale. Here, we report an atomic-scale experimental investigation on the distribution of P in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys. P, in the form of AlP particles, was observed in the centre of primary Si. However, no significant amount of P was detected within primary Si, eutectic Si and the Al matrix. Instead, P was observed at the interface between the Al matrix and eutectic Si, strongly indicating that P, in the form of AlP particles (or AlP 'patch' dependent on the P concentration), may have nucleated on the surface of the Al matrix and thereby enhanced the heterogeneous nucleation of eutectic Si. The present investigation reveals some novel insights into heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si by AlP in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys and can be used to further develop heterogeneous nucleation mechanisms based on adsorption.

Highly Efficient Production of Benzene-Free Aromatics from Methanol over Low-Si/Al-Ratio Alkali-Modified Fe/Zn/HZSM-5.

Project description:Herein, the methanol conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons was studied over a new family of mesoporous low-silica HZSM-5 (Si/Al = 11) catalysts in a fixed-bed tubular reactor under ambient pressure at 375 °C, feeding with weight hourly space velocity of 2 h-1. The catalysts were prepared in the absence and presence of Zn and Fe in both alkaline and neutral aqueous solutions, characterized by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, temperature programmed desorption of ammonia, N2 adsorption/desorption, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier-transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy and FE-SEM/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. The [0.2Fe,0.3Zn]-alk-HZSM-5 catalyst exhibited novel selectivity for aromatics (>86 wt %), specifically for m and p-xylenes (44.7 wt %) alongside 0.1 wt % for benzene.

The roles of Eu during the growth of eutectic Si in Al-Si alloys.

Project description:Controlling the growth of eutectic Si and thereby modifying the eutectic Si from flake-like to fibrous is a key factor in improving the properties of Al-Si alloys. To date, it is generally accepted that the impurity-induced twinning (IIT) mechanism and the twin plane re-entrant edge (TPRE) mechanism as well as poisoning of the TPRE mechanism are valid under certain conditions. However, IIT, TPRE or poisoning of the TPRE mechanism cannot be used to interpret all observations. Here, we report an atomic-scale experimental and theoretical investigation on the roles of Eu during the growth of eutectic Si in Al-Si alloys. Both experimental and theoretical investigations reveal three different roles: (i) the adsorption at the intersection of Si facets, inducing IIT mechanism, (ii) the adsorption at the twin plane re-entrant edge, inducing TPRE mechanism or poisoning of the TPRE mechanism, and (iii) the segregation ahead of the growing Si twins, inducing a solute entrainment within eutectic Si. This investigation not only demonstrates a direct experimental support to the well-accepted poisoning of the TPRE and IIT mechanisms, but also provides a full picture about the roles of Eu atoms during the growth of eutectic Si, including the solute entrainment within eutectic Si.
