Epoxidation of dibenzocycloalkenes on Ti–Ge-MCM-41 and Ti-SBA-15 catalysts
2005
Abstract Epoxidation of a series of dibenzocycloalkenes: phenanthrene, 5H-dibenzo[ a , e ]cycloheptene, 5H-dibenzo[ a , c ] cycloheptene, 5,6-dihydrodibenzo[ a , e ]cyclo-octene, and dibenzo[ a , e ]cyclooctene with hydrogen peroxide was investigated on Ti- and Ge-modified Ti-incorporated-type mesoporous catalysts including MCM-41 and SBA-15 structures looking for the effect of the porous texture and Ge-promoting on both activity and selectivity to epoxide and H 2 O 2 efficiency. Ti–Ge-MCM-41 catalysts (Si/Ti = 43; Si/Ge = 85 and Si/Ti = 41; Si/Ge = 62) were prepared by a one-pot surfactant-assisted procedure based on the use of a cationic surfactant (CTAB, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), …
Photo-assisted degradation of 2-propanol in gas–solid regime by using TiO2 impregnated with heteropolyacid H3PW12O40
2009
Abstract Commercial and home prepared TiO2 samples impregnated with tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) were used for the photo-assisted degradation of 2-propanol in gas–solid regime. The characterization results evidenced a good coverage of the polyoxometalate (POM) onto the surface of TiO2 along with a marginal effect of the presence of the POM on the specific surface area, morphology and cristallinity of the samples. Propene was the main intermediate product revealed in 2-propanol photocatalytic degradation by using as photocatalysts the samples containing the POM, whereas propanone was mainly obtained when the photocatalysts was bare TiO2, both commercial or home prepared. Acetaldehyde w…
Physicochemical Characterization of Isomorphously Substituted FeZSM-5 during Activation
2002
Physicochemical characteristics of isomorphously substituted FeZSM-5 both after preparation and after activation have been determined by gas (Ar and N2) physisorption, 27Al and 29Si magic-angle spinning–nuclear magnetic resonance, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, transmission electron microscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, and voltammetric response techniques. The activation of as-synthesized FeZSM-5 comprises calcination at 823 K and a subsequent steam treatment (300 mbar of H2O in N2) at 873 K. Calcination leads to complete removal of the template. During this process a significant fraction of iron is dislodged to extraframework positions…
Oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane on MgO-supported vanadium oxide catalysts
1998
Abstract Vanadium–magnesium oxide (VMgO) catalysts have been prepared, characterized and tested in the ODH of n-butane. The catalysts were prepared by two variations of the wet-impregnation method using aqueous ammonium metavanadate or organically-based methanolic vanadyl acetylacetonate solutions. The catalyst surface area depends on the vanadium content and the preparation method. Catalyst characterization (i.e. XRD, 51V NMR, FTIR, LRS) results indicate the presence of poor crystalline Mg-orthovanadate (Mg3V2O8), while the presence of other Mg-vanadates is not clear. Oxygen isotopic-exchange experiments on VMgO catalysts indicate an R2 process: [ 18 O 2 +2 16 O 2− (s) → ( 18 O 18 O 16 O 1…
Polypyrrole–palladium nanoparticles composite as efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling
2012
International audience; Synthesis of a new hybrid material (Pd/PPy) composed of polypyrrole globules with uniformly incorporated Pd nanoparticles via direct redox reaction between pyrrole and Pd(NH3)(4)Cl-2 in water has been recently reported (V.A. Zinovyeva, M.A.Vorotyntsev, I. Bezverkhyy, D. Chaumont, J.-C. Hierso, Adv. Funct. Mater. 21 (2011) 1064-1075). In the actual study, this procedure has been extended to synthesize a series of Pd/PPy powders with variable palladium content and morphological parameters. Depending on the monomer-to-oxidant ratio in reaction mixture, average diameters of Pd and PPy particles may change in the ranges of 1.25-1.45 and 27-62 nm, respectively, the Pd conc…
Highly Loaded Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Non-Covalently Modified with a Bis-Imidazolium Salt and their Use as Catalyst Supports
2016
The surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were non-covalently modified using two bis-imidazolium dibromide derivatives having phenyl or pyrene groups. Due to the presence of the two pyrene groups the bis(pyren-1-ylmethylimidazolium) dibromide derivative was immobilised at a loading of about 15-16 wt %, whereas only <3 wt % of the phenyl derivative was immobilised. The presence of the two imidazolium cations helped the immobilisation of tetrachloropalladate ions after exchange with bromide ions. Tetrachloropalladate was used as pre-catalyst in several Suzuki-Miyaura carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions in water or water/ethanol at 50 °C in only 0.1 mol % and compared with the …
Selective Oxidation of n-Butane and Butenes over Vanadium-Containing Catalysts
2000
Abstract The oxidative dehydrogenation (OXDH) of n-butane, 1-butene, and trans-2-butene on different vanadia catalysts has been compared. MgO, alumina, and Mg–Al mixed oxides with Mg/(Al+Mg) ratios of 0.25 and 0.75 were used as supports. The catalytic data indicate that the higher the acid character of catalysts the lower is both the selectivity to C4-olefins from n-butane and the selectivity to butadiene from both 1-butene or trans-2-butene. Thus, OXDH reactions are mainly observed from n-butane and butenes on basic catalysts. The different catalytic performance of both types of catalysts is a consequence of the isomerization of olefins on acid sites, which appears to be a competitive reac…
Selective oxidative activation of isobutane on a novel vanadium-substituted bimodal mesoporous oxide V-UVM-7
2006
Abstract New vanado-silicates with a bimodal mesoporous system (V-UVM-7) and high vanadium contents (Si/V ≥ 7) have been prepared by a modification of the so-called atrane method. Its morphology consists of aggregation of nano-particles with V-MCM-41 structure, creating a second broader porous system in their interparticle space. Its structure allows to incorporate a high V contents into tetrahedral sites of the framework while keeping vanadium dispersion. V-UVM-7 catalysts are very active and selective for the direct transformation of isobutane to isobutene and methacrolein. Total conversion and methacrolein-to-isobutene ratio in the products increased with increasing vanadium contents. Th…
Liquid phase selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol over Pd–Ag catalysts supported on pumice
2001
Abstract Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde was carried out over pumice supported bimetallic and monometallic Pd and Ag catalysts. Preliminary kinetic studies were performed at 333 K in autoclave, at pressure of 2 atm in pure oxygen. Under these conditions, small amounts of benzoic acid were detected with the monometallic Pd pumice being the most active catalyst. The reaction was also carried out under flowing oxygen at atmospheric pressure and at 348 K. Under these conditions, the selectivity to benzaldehyde was 100%. The catalytic activity of the catalysts was measured after different oxidation and reduction treatments at high temperature. In addition, two mechanical mi…
Effect of Gold on the HDS Activity of Supported Palladium Catalysts
2002
Abstract The effect of gold on palladium catalysts supported on amorphous aluminosilicate was investigated in the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene. A series of bimetallic AuxPdy catalysts was prepared by the slow deposition–precipitation method with decomposition of urea. The structural and surface properties of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques at different stages of the catalyst life. After calcination at 673 K, gold-enriched solid solutions of approximately Au90Pd10 and Au80Pd20 composition were formed for all samples of different Au/Pd ratios, along with free palladium phases. Au80Pd20 was the prevailing phase. Hydrogen treat…
