This review covers the scope and limitations of different catalysts and methodologies that were employed for the reaction and compare between them on the basis of catalytic performance, product separation and catalyst recycling procedure. In general, heterogeneous catalytic systems are advantageous from industrial point of views as they can be easily separated by filtration and re-used. Nickel modified with tartaric acid and sodium bromide was found to be suitable heterogeneous catalyst for the enantioselective hydrogenation, yet its performance is lower than this of homogeneous chiral metal catalysts such as Ru-BINAP. Heterogenization of the chiral complex via immobilization or entrapment using organic and inorganic supports was thus tested. However, though the resulted heterogeneous analogues were highly enantioselective and could be re-used, the activity of the system is often very low compared to homogeneous system due to mass transfer limitations. Alternatively, performing liquid phase hydrogenation under homogeneous conditions, using Ru-BINAP soluble derivatives, yielded high activit5＇ and enantioselectivity. Product separation and catalysts recycling were facilitated by either extraction of the product with solvent that does not dissolve the complex or by selective filtration of the product. Alternatively, precipitation of the complex at the end of the reaction was also reported.展开更多

This method is simpler and more efficient than previously reported step-by-step method in which magnets were consecutively dispersed in DMF solutions each containing one MOF precursor, and the obtained Fe304@UiO-66-NH2 with three assembly cycles has a higher degree of crystallinity and porosiW. The core-shell Fe3O4@UiO-66-NH2 is highly active and selective in Knoevenagel condensations because of the bifunctionality of UiO-66-NH2 and better mass transfer in the nano-sized shells. It also has good recycling stability, and can be recovered magnetically and reused at least four times without significant loss of catalytic activity and framework integrity. The effects of substitution on the reactivity of benzaldehyde and of substrate size were also investigated.展开更多

The results indicated that by using the het-erogeneous UV/Fenton process, the CODcr removal rate reached almost 100% for wastewater containing phenol. Compared with the homogeneous process, the developed catalyst could be used at wider pH range in the UV/Fenton process. Com-parison of various heterogeneous process showed that heterogeneous UV/Fenton process was best. The heterogeneous UV/Fenton process with Fe-Mn-Cu-Y catalyst is highly efficient in degrading various organic pollutants.展开更多

Compared with activated charcoal, molecular sieve, porous ceramics, hopcalite, the support prepared by the sol-gel method has higher activity. The characterization of the support by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） show that the mare crystal phase is Co2MnO4 and the average particle diameter is about 40 nm. The optimum conditions for synthesis of the support were determined by orthogonal experiments, which indicate that the proportion of Cu, Mn, and Co is the first important factor influencing the yield and selectivity of DPC. Temperature of calcination is the second one. The optimum conditions are： molar proportion of Cu, Mn, and Co being 1 ： 1 ： 1, temperature of calcination 700℃, drying at 100~C, temperature of water bath 85~C. The yield and selectivity of DPC in the process can reach 38% and 99% in the batch operation, respectively. The copper cobalt manganese mixed oxides chosen as the support contribute more to the high catalytic activity than the sol-gel method.展开更多

文摘With growing demand for propylene and increasing production of propane from shale gas,the technologies of propylene production,including direct dehydrogenation and oxidative dehydrogenation of propane,have drawn great attention in recent years.In particular,direct dehydrogenation of propane to propylene is regarded as one of the most promising methods of propylene production because it is an on-purpose technique that exclusively yields propylene instead of a mixture of products.In this critical review,we provide the current investigations on the heterogeneous catalysts(such as Pt,CrOx,VOx,GaOx-based catalysts,and nanocarbons)used in the direct dehydrogenation of propane to propylene.A detailed comparison and discussion of the active sites,catalytic mechanisms,influencing factors(such as the structures,dispersions,and reducibilities of the catalysts and promoters),and supports for different types of catalysts is presented.Furthermore,rational designs and preparation of high-performance catalysts for propane dehydrogenation are proposed and discussed.

文摘The heterogeneous UV/Fenton process with the appropriate amount of Fe-Mn-Cu-Y as catalyst was developed and various operation conditions for the degradation of phenol were evaluated. The results indicated that by using the het-erogeneous UV/Fenton process, the CODcr removal rate reached almost 100% for wastewater containing phenol. Compared with the homogeneous process, the developed catalyst could be used at wider pH range in the UV/Fenton process. Com-parison of various heterogeneous process showed that heterogeneous UV/Fenton process was best. The heterogeneous UV/Fenton process with Fe-Mn-Cu-Y catalyst is highly efficient in degrading various organic pollutants.

文摘Self‐assembled mesoporous polyoxometalate‐based ionic hybrid catalyst,[PxyDim]2.5PMoV2,was prepared by combining p‐xylene‐tethered diimidazole ionic liquid[PxyDim]Cl2with Keggin‐structured V‐substituted polyoxometalate H5PMo10V2O40.The obtained hybrid was shown to be a mesostructured and hydrophobic material with good thermal stability.In the H2O2‐based hydroxylation of benzene to phenol,the hybrid showed extraordinary catalytic activity and rate,and quite stable reusability.The unique hydrophobic properties and mesoporous structure of the hybrid were responsible for its excellent catalytic performance.
文摘The support of catalyst for the direct synthesis of diphenyl carbonate （DPC） by heterogeneous catalytic reaction was prepared by the sol-gel method. Compared with activated charcoal, molecular sieve, porous ceramics, hopcalite, the support prepared by the sol-gel method has higher activity. The characterization of the support by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） show that the mare crystal phase is Co2MnO4 and the average particle diameter is about 40 nm. The optimum conditions for synthesis of the support were determined by orthogonal experiments, which indicate that the proportion of Cu, Mn, and Co is the first important factor influencing the yield and selectivity of DPC. Temperature of calcination is the second one. The optimum conditions are： molar proportion of Cu, Mn, and Co being 1 ： 1 ： 1, temperature of calcination 700℃, drying at 100~C, temperature of water bath 85~C. The yield and selectivity of DPC in the process can reach 38% and 99% in the batch operation, respectively. The copper cobalt manganese mixed oxides chosen as the support contribute more to the high catalytic activity than the sol-gel method.

文摘The Bi2S3,CdS and Bi2S3/CdS photocatalysts were prepared by direct reactions between their corresponding salt and thiourea in a hy- drothermal autoclave.The photocatalytic activities of these photocatalysts for reducing CO2 to CH3OH under visible light irradiation have been investigated.The results show that the photocatalytic activity and visible light response of Bi2S3 are higher than those of CdS.The Bi2S3 modification can enhance the photocatalytic activity and visible light response of CdS.The photocatalytic activity of Bi2S3/CdS hetero-junction photocatalyst was the highest and the highest yields of methanol was 613μmol/g when the weight proportion of Bi2S3 to CdS was 15%,which was about three times as large as that of CdS or two times of that of Bi2S3.

文摘The introduction of the heterogeneous catalysts with high activity can significantly improve hydrogen storage performance of MgH_(2),therefore,in this paper,we synthesize a carbon-supported transition metal compound,FeCoS@C derivative from ZIF-67,by utilizing the in situ formed C dispersive multiphase Mg_(2)Co,α-Fe,Co_(3)Fe_(7),and MgS to implement catalysis to MgH_(2).Noteworthily,MgH_(2)-FeCoS@C rapidly ab-sorbs 6.78 wt%H_(2)within 60 s at 573 K and can also absorb 4.56 wt%H_(2)in 900 s at 473 K.Besides,the addition of FeCoS@C results in decreasing of the initial dehydrogenation temperatures of MgH_(2)from 620 to 550 K.The dehydrogenation activation energy of MgH_(2)decreases from 160.7 to 91.9 kJ mol^(-1).Studies show that the Mg_(2)Co,α-Fe,and Co_(3)Fe_(7)act as“hydrogen channels”to accelerate hydrogen transfer due to the presence of transition metals,and MgS with excellent catalytic effect formed from MgH_(2)-FeCoS@C provides a strong and stable catalytic effect.Besides,the carbon skeleton obtained by the carbonization of ZIF-67 not only serves as a dispersion for the multiphase catalytic system,but also provides more active sites for the catalysts.Our study shows that the multiphase and multiscale catalytic system provides an effective strategy for improving the hydrogen storage performance of MgH_(2).
