Converting olefins to propene: Ethene to propene and olefin cracking
2018
ABSTRACTDemand for propene as a petrochemical building block keeps growing, while its availability has been decreased by the adoption of shale gas resources, among others. Efforts to optimize its production by conventional means (including modified fluid catalytic cracking) and new on-purpose production technologies (including ethene to propene (ETP) and olefin cracking) are being pursued. This work reviews the progress made on olefin conversion processes, including the ETP reaction, which is still under development, and the cracking of butenes and higher olefins (C5–C8). The factors analyzed include the catalytic performance of different zeolite materials and their modifications to increas…
Non-hindered ansasamarocenes, versatile catalysts for diene/olefin/polar monomer copolymerisations. What is really the active species?
2002
Abstract Catalytic systems containing an ansabiscyclopentadienyllanthanide core and lithium and/or magnesium salts are obtained by reaction of the chloride precursors with allyllithium. These allyl complexes lead to the same active species which polymerises 1,3-dienes, copolymerises 1,3-dienes and α-olefin or α,ω-dienes or allows the controlled diblock polyisoprene/polycaprolactone copolymerisation. The exact nature of this active species and of the allyl precursors is investigated here.
Vergleich der zahl aktiver zentren und einiger kinetischer konstanten bei der polymerisation von äthylen, propylen und buten-1 mit ZIEGLER-NATTA-kata…
1972
Fur die drei Olefine, Athylen, Propylen und Buten-1, werden mit dem Katalysatorsystem TiCl3/Al(C2H5)2Cl in Abhangigkeit von der Polymerisationszeit gemessen: der Polymerisationsverlauf, die Zahl der Metall-Polymer-Bindungen (uber Endgruppenbestimmung nach Abbruch mit tritiiertem Alkohol) und die Viskositat der gebildeten Polymeren. Aus diesen Daten lassen sich die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit, die Konzentration an aktiven Zentren, die Uneinheitlichkeit sowie weitere Reaktionskonstanten bestimmen. Die Ergebnisse werden diskutiert; sie lassen den Schlus zu, das sich ein im Ausgangszustand gleiches Katalysatorsystem monomerspezifisch verhalt und verandert. With the catalytic system TiCl3/Al(…
Synthesis and olefin homo- and copolymerization behavior of new vanadium complexes bearing [OSSO]-type ligands
2017
Novel vanadium complexes bearing [OSSO]-type ligands having two phenolato units linked through the –CH2S(CH2)4SCH2– (1V) or –CH2S(CH2)2SCH2– (2V) bridge are synthesized with good yields by reacting a deprotonated ligand with VCl4. They are then used in ethylene (co)polymerization after activation with EtAlCl2 and Et2AlCl. In the presence of EtAlCl2, both complexes promote ethylene polymerization with very high activities, over 4 × 107 g/(mol h), leading to PEs with high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution. The prepared complexes exhibit lower activity for ethylene/1-octene copolymerization. It is also revealed that the catalyst based on the –CH2S(CH2)4SCH2– bridged com…
Microstructure of ethylene-1-hexene and ethylene-1-octene copolymers obtained over Ziegler–Natta catalysts supported on MgCl 2 (THF) 2
2001
Abstract The ethylene copolymerizations with 1-hexene or 1-octene in the presence of hydrogen using three catalysts, MgCl 2 (THF) 2 /VOCl 3 /Et 2 AlCl, MgCl 2 (THF) 2 /VCl 4 /Et 2 AlCl, MgCl 2 (THF) 2 /TiCl 4 /Et 2 AlCl, were investigated. It was found that the addition of hydrogen into the copolymerization feed reduces the molecular weight of the copolymers produced and decreases the activity of all the studied catalysts. The microstructure of the copolymers obtained was determined on the basis of 13 C NMR investigations and the reactivity ratios of the comonomers were calculated. The lack of tendency of the olefin comonomers to the creation of the polymer block was confirmed. It was found…
DFT Study of Ethylene and Propylene Copolymerization over a Heterogeneous Catalyst with a Coordinating Lewis Base
2005
The copolymerization of ethylene and propylene over a heterogeneous Ti(III) catalyst containing tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a Lewis base and MgCl2 as a support has been studied by means of DFT. Two feasible models of active sites have been examined thoroughly, and one of them turned out to be favorable in terms of both catalytic activity and the microstructure of the resulting polymer. The external barriers of olefin insertion for this model range from 3.1 to 16.0 kcal/mol and are influenced by a variety of factors, such as the structure of the growing polymer chain and the nature of the incoming olefin as well as the orientation of the ligands around the titanium atom. Stochastic simulations …
Vanadium catalysts for ethylene-norbornene copolymerization
2020
Cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) are a promising group of materials with specific, projectable properties. In this group, copolymers of ethylene and norbornene are of particular interest. A variety of transition metal complexes are used for their synthesis, mostly elements from group 4. This review presents the application of vanadium catalysts with various types of ligands in the synthesis of ethylene-norbornene copolymers. The influence of ligands and reaction conditions on the activity of catalyst and selected properties of copolymers are described in this paper.
Evolution of the optimal catalytic systems for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane: The role of adsorption in the catalytic performance
2022
Three samples that correspond to the evolution of optimal catalytic systems for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane have been synthesized and compared in terms of catalytic behavior and adsorption properties: (i) vanadium oxide supported on alumina, (ii) Sn-promoted NiO, and (iii) multicomponent MoVTeNbO with the M1 structure. The main difference in catalytic performance lies in the extent of the overoxidation of the ethylene formed, following the order VOx/Al2O3 > NiSnOx > MoVTeNb-M1. Accordingly, the selectivity to ethylene at medium and high ethane conversion follows the order MoVTeNb-M1 > NiSnOx > VOx/Al2O3. These results are confirmed by the relative reaction rates observed for the…
Product selectivity effects during cracking of alkanes at very short and longer times on stream
1996
Abstract Cracking of C 7 , C 10 , C 12 and C 14 n-alkanes, over USY, Beta and ZSM-5 zeolites was carried out in a reaction system which allows to obtain instantaneous conversions at very short times on stream. With this system the influence of operation variables, chain length of the paraffin fed, and catalyst structure on product selectivity was established. Positive and negative effects of catalyst decay on product selectivity were obtained, and this behaviour could be simulated by using a deactivation model in which the rate of deactivation depends on the product concentration. It was observed that olefin/paraffin, branched/normal paraffin, branched/normal olefin ratios and aromatic sele…
Direct oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein over V-MCM-41 catalysts
2004
High vanadium content mesoporous vanado-silicates with MCM-41-like structure, obtained by the atrane route, catalyse the direct oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein with 30% selectivity, and a total dehydrogenation (olefin plus methacrolein) selectivity up to 74%.
