Ni-Modified Ag/SiO2 Catalysts for Selective Hydrogenation of Dimethyl Oxalate to Methyl Glycolate.

ABSTRACT: Ni-modified Ag/SiO2 catalysts containing 0~3 wt.% Ni were obtained by impregnating Ni species onto Ag/SiO2 followed by calcination and reduction. The catalysts' performance in the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) to methyl glycolate (MG) was tested. Ag-0.5%Ni/SiO2 showed the highest catalytic activity among these catalysts and exhibited excellent catalytic stability. The effects of the Ni content on the structure and surface chemical states of catalysts were investigated by XRF, N2-sorption, XRD, TEM, EDX-mapping, FT-IR, H2-TPR, UV-vis, and XPS. The better catalytic activity and stability of Ni-modified Ag/SiO2 (versus Ag/SiO2) are ascribed to the improved dispersion of active Ag species as well as the higher resistance to the growth of Ag particles due to the presence of Ni species.

Selective Hydrogenation of Dimethyl Oxalate to Methyl Glycolate over Boron-Modified Ag/SiO2 Catalysts.

Project description:The addition of boron (B) as a promoter to the Ag/SiO2 catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) to methyl glycolate (MG) was investigated. A comparison of the preparation method for incorporation of B found that the addition during the ammonia evaporation deposition-precipitation synthesis of the Ag/SiO2 catalyst (Ag-B/SiO2) was inferior to incipient wetness impregnation introduction of the Ag/SiO2 catalyst (B/Ag/SiO2). Moreover, the effects of B contents (0.5-5 wt %) on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of the B/Ag/SiO2 catalysts were investigated by XRF, N2-physisorption, XRD, FTIR, TEM, EDX mapping, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, XPS, and catalytic testing. The results indicated that both the catalytic activity and stability of the Ag/SiO2 catalyst were noticeably enhanced after the introduction of B. The B/Ag/SiO2 catalyst with 1 wt % B showed the best catalytic performance of 100% DMO conversion and 88.3% MG selectivity, which could be attributed to the highest dispersion of the active metal and the smallest Ag particle size stabilized by the strong interaction between silver and boron species.

Boron Modified Bifunctional Cu/SiO2 Catalysts with Enhanced Metal Dispersion and Surface Acid Sites for Selective Hydrogenation of Dimethyl Oxalate to Ethylene Glycol and Ethanol.

Project description:Boron (B) promoter modified Cu/SiO2 bifunctional catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method and used to produce ethylene glycol (EG) and ethanol (EtOH) through efficient hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO). Experimental results showed that boron promoter could significantly improve the catalytic performance by improving the structural characteristics of the Cu/SiO2 catalysts. The optimized 2B-Cu/SiO2 catalyst exhibited excellent low temperature catalytic activity and long-term stability, maintaining the average EG selectivity (Sel.EG) of 95% at 190 °C, and maintaining the average EtOH selectivity (Sel.EtOH) of 88% at 260 °C, with no decrease even after reaction of 150 h, respectively. Characterization results revealed that doping with boron promoter could significantly increase the copper dispersion, enhance the metal-support interaction, maintain suitable Cu+/(Cu+ + Cu0) ratio, and diminish metallic copper particles during the hydrogenation of DMO. Thus, this work introduced a bifunctional boron promoter, which could not only improve the copper dispersion, reduce the formation of bulk copper oxide, but also properly enhance the acidity of the sample surface, so that the Cu/SiO2 sample could exhibit superior EG selectivity at low temperature, as well as improving the EtOH selectivity at high temperature.

Selective hydrogenation of dimethyl terephthalate over a potassium-modified Ni/SiO2 catalyst.

Project description:Selective hydrogenation of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) is an ideal way to prepare 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (DMCD), an important intermediate and monomer. Even though noble metal-based catalysts (e.g., Ru, Pd) have been developed for selective hydrogenation of DMT, the use of non-precious Ni catalysts to achieve high activity and selectivity is still challenging. In this study, we present that only 0.5 wt% of KF by post-impregnated doping can significantly improve the performance of Ni/SiO2 catalysts (83% vs. 96% selectivity; 41% vs. 95% conversion). The selectivity of DMCD can be up to 97%, which is the highest reported over Ni catalysts. The boosting effect of KF modification might be due to higher amounts of Ni(0) species and lower amounts of moderate acidic sites, which are beneficial for selective hydrogenation of phenyl rings over hydrogenolysis of ester groups.

Enhancing hydrogenation activity of Ni-Mo sulfide hydrodesulfurization catalysts.

Project description:Unsupported Ni-Mo sulfides have been hydrothermally synthesized and purified by HCl leaching to remove Ni sulfides. Unblocking of active sites by leaching significantly increases the catalytic activity for dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization. The site-specific rates of both direct (hydrogenolytic) and hydrogenative desulfurization routes on these active sites that consist of coordinatively unsaturated Ni and sulfhydryl groups were identical for all unsupported sulfides. The hydrogenative desulfurization rates were more than an order of magnitude higher on unsupported Ni-Mo sulfides than on Al2O3-supported catalysts, while they were similar for the direct (hydrogenolytic) desulfurization. The higher activity is concluded to be caused by the lower average electronegativity, i.e., higher base strength and polarity, of Ni-Mo sulfides in the absence of the alumina support and the modified adsorption of reactants enabled by multilayer stacking. Beyond the specific catalytic reaction, the synthesis strategy points to promising scalable routes to sulfide materials broadly applied in hydrogenation and hydrotreating.

Silica-Supported Au-Ag Catalysts for the Selective Hydrogenation of Butadiene.

Project description:Gold and silver are miscible over the entire composition range, and form an attractive combination for fundamental studies on bimetallic catalysts. Au-Ag catalysts have shown synergistic effects for different oxidation and liquid-phase hydrogenation reactions, but have rarely been studied for gas-phase hydrogenation. In this study 3?nm particles of Au, Ag and Au-Ag supported on silica (SBA-15) were investigated as catalysts for selective hydrogenation of butadiene in an excess of propene. The Au catalyst was over an order of magnitude more active than the Ag catalyst at 120?°C. The initial activity of the Au-Ag catalysts scaled linearly with the Au-content, suggesting a direct correlation between the surface and overall compositions of the nanoparticles and the absence of synergistic effects. All Au-containing catalysts were highly selective to butenes (>99.9?%). The Au catalysts were stable, whereas the Au-Ag catalysts lost about half of their activity during 20?h run time at 200?°C, but the initial activity was restored by a consecutive oxidation-reduction treatment. Near ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that exposure to H2 at elevated temperatures led to a gradual enrichment of the surface of the Au-Ag nanoparticles by Ag. These observations highlight the importance of considering progressive atomic rearrangements in bimetallic nanocatalysts under reaction conditions.

Ni-Sn-Supported ZrO2 Catalysts Modified by Indium for Selective CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol.

Project description:Ni and NiSn supported on zirconia (ZrO2) and on indium (In)-incorporated zirconia (InZrO2) catalysts were prepared by a wet chemical reduction route and tested for hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol in a fixed-bed isothermal flow reactor at 250 °C. The mono-metallic Ni (5%Ni/ZrO2) catalysts showed a very high selectivity for methane (99%) during CO2 hydrogenation. Introduction of Sn to this material with the following formulation 5Ni5Sn/ZrO2 (5% Ni-5% Sn/ZrO2) showed the rate of methanol formation to be 0.0417 μmol/(gcat·s) with 54% selectivity. Furthermore, the combination NiSn supported on InZrO2 (5Ni5Sn/10InZrO2) exhibited a rate of methanol formation 10 times higher than that on 5Ni/ZrO2 (0.1043 μmol/(gcat·s)) with 99% selectivity for methanol. All of these catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, CO2-temperature-programmed desorption, and density functional theory (DFT) studies. Addition of Sn to Ni catalysts resulted in the formation of a NiSn alloy. The NiSn alloy particle size was kept in the range of 10-15 nm, which was evidenced by HRTEM study. DFT analysis was carried out to identify the surface composition as well as the structural location of each element on the surface in three compositions investigated, namely, Ni28Sn27, Ni18Sn37, and Ni37Sn18 bimetallic nanoclusters, and results were in agreement with the STEM and electron energy-loss spectroscopy results. Also, the introduction of "Sn" and "In" helped improve the reducibility of Ni oxide and the basic strength of catalysts. Considerable details of the catalytic and structural properties of the Ni, NiSn, and NiSnIn catalyst systems were elucidated. These observations were decisive for achieving a highly efficient formation rate of methanol via CO2 by the H2 reduction process with high methanol selectivity.

Highly active Ce, Y, La-modified Cu/SiO2 catalysts for hydrogenation of methyl acetate to ethanol.

Project description:Rare earth element (Ce, Y, and La) modified Cu/SiO2 catalysts via hydrolysis precipitation and impregnation method were fabricated for the vapor-phase hydrogenation of methyl acetate to ethanol. LaO x showed the most pronounced promotion in the catalytic tests. After detailed characterizations, via N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, N2O chemisorption, FTIR, H2-TPR, H2-TPD, TEM, XPS, and TG/DTA, we found that the addition of promoter LaO x can decrease the particle size while in turn, it can increase the dispersion of copper species. The strong interactions between copper and lanthanum atoms alter the surface chemical states of the copper species. This results in the generation of more Cu+ species and high S Cu + values, which are responsible for the excellent activity and stability during hydrogenation. In addition, the content of additive LaO x and reaction conditions (reaction temperature and LHSV) were optimized. Then, the long-term stability performance was evaluated over the selected catalyst in contrast with Cu/SiO2.

Synthesis of Ni/NiAlOx Catalysts for Hydrogenation Saturation of Phenanthrene.

Project description:The saturation of octahydrophenanthrene was the rate-determining step in the hydrogenation process from phenanthrene to perhydrophenanthrene, which was due to the steric hindrance and competitive adsorption of octahydrophenanthrene. In this work, a series of Ni/NiAlOx catalysts with a uniform electron-deficient state of Ni derived from the nickel aluminate structure was synthesized to overcome the disadvantage of noble catalyst and the traditional sulfided catalysts in the saturation hydrogenation process of phenanthrene. Results showed that the catalyst calcinated at 650°C possessed more Ni2+ (∼98%) occupying octahedral sites and exhibited the highest robs (1.53 × 10-3 mol kg-1 s-1) and TOF (14.64 × 10-3 s-1) for phenanthrene hydrogenation. Furthermore, its ability to overcome steric hindrance and promote the rate-determining step was proven by octahydrophenanthrene hydrogenation. Comparing the evolution of hydrogenation activity with the change in the electronic structure of surface Ni sites, it was shown that the increase of metallic electron deficiency hindered the π-back bonding between surface Ni and aromatic rings, which was unfavorable for aromatic adsorption. As a result, the phenanthrene hydrogenation saturation performance can be enhanced by stabilizing the electron-deficient state of surface Ni on an optimal degree.

Microwave-activated Ni/carbon catalysts for highly selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine.

Project description:Biocarbon supported Ni catalysts have been prepared by facile impregnation of Ni species by microwave-heating and used for selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, N2 sorption measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction of H2 and H2 temperature-programmed desorption. The morphology and particle size of catalysts were imaged by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. For the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine, 10%Ni/CSC-II(b) exhibits the best catalytic activity to achieve 100 mol% conversion of nitrobenzene and 96.7% selectivity of cyclohexylamine under reaction conditions of 2.0 MPa H2 and 200 °C, ascribed to high dispersion of Ni species and formation of nanosized Ni particles on the support aided by microwave-heating. Thus-prepared Ni/CSC catalyst is greatly activated, in which the addition of precious metal like Rh is totally avoided.
