Its catalytic behaviors were compared with those of the other two Fe-IM and Fe K-IM catalysts prepared by impregnation method followed by thermal treatments. The novel Fe K-OX composite catalyst is found to exhibit higher hydrocarbon selectivity,lower olefins selectivity and chain growth probability as well as better stability. The catalyst structureperformance relationship has been established using multiple techniques including XRD, Raman, TEM and EDS elemental mapping. In addition, effects of additional potassium into the Fe K-OX composite catalyst on the FTO performance were also investigated and discussed. Additional potassium promoters further endow the catalysts with higher yield of lower olefins. These results demonstrated that the introduction method of promoters and iron species plays a crucial role in the design and fabrication of highly active,selective and stable iron-based composite catalysts for the FTO reaction.展开更多

First, the silica nanoparticles were modified with triethoxysilylpropyl chloride and then 2-aminopyridine was attached to the support via covalent linkages.

The present method offers advantages including high yields, short reaction times and simple work-up. Also, the catalyst can be easily recycled and reused several times, which makes this method attractive, economic and environmentally-benign.展开更多

The catalytic stability over hybrid catalyst of CeO_2–CaO–Pd/HZSM-5 was investigated to ensure that the kinetics experimental results were not significantly influenced by induction period and catalytic deactivation. A large number of kinetic data points(40 sets) were obtained over a range of temperature(240–300 °C), pressure(3–4 MPa), gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)(2000–3000 L·kg^(-1)·h^(-1)) and H_2/CO mole ratio(2–3). Kinetic model for the methanol synthesis reaction and the dehydration of methanol were obtained separately according to reaction mechanism and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. Regression parameters were investigated by the method combining the simplex method and Runge–Kutta method. The model calculations were in appropriate accordance with the experimental data.展开更多

The dumbbell‐like nanoparticles discussed in this article refer to a hetero‐structure with two nanoparticles of different materials in contact with each other. This nanostructure can be considered as a special intermediate between individual spherical nanoparticles and a core–shell nanostructure. Therefore,the synthesis of dumbbell‐like nanoparticles is more difficult than other structures. The controllability of the synthesis process, the nanoparticle size and size distribution, and the morphology of the final products depend on many factors： the seed size and size ratio could be used to influence the controllability of epitaxial growth. The component sizes and size distribution could be varied by carefully controlling the reaction temperature and reaction time. The morphology of the dumbbell‐like nanoparticles is closely related to the solvent polarity, the precursor ratio, the lattice mismatch between the two components, and the surfactant concentration. Some related synthesis methods are also briefly introduced in each section to facilitate understanding. This summary will benefit the development of new dumbbell‐like nanoparticles with various components, which have great potential in catalytic combustion of more dysoxidizable gases.展开更多

The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM and the catalytic activities of the catalysts were evaluated by small sample experiment. It is shown that under loose contact conditions this catalyst can catalyze soot combustion at 360 ℃, and the best prepared catalyst Li Co0.9O2 can ignite soot combustion below 300 ℃. In the incompletely synthesized catalysts the Co cations shift to higher electrovalence, so the number of the surface adsorbed oxygen（O-） of the prepared delafossite catalysts increase and Li Co0.9O2 has the optimum catalytic activity.展开更多

The influences of the alkali metals on the physicochemical properties of the CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts and the catalytic performance for CO_2 hydrogenation to long-chain hydrocarbons（C_（5＋））were investigated in this work. According to the characterization of the catalysts based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, CO_2 temperature-programmed desorption（TPD）, and H_2-TPD, the introduction of alkali metals could increase the CO_2 adsorption and decrease the H_2 chemisorption, which could suppress the formation of CH_4, enhance the production of C_（5＋）, and decrease the hydrogenation activity. Among all the promoters, the Na-modified CoCu/TiO_2 catalyst provided the maximum C_（5＋） yield of 5.4%, with a CO_2 conversion of 18.4% and C_（5＋） selectivity of42.1%, because it showed the strongest basicity and a slight decrease in the amount of H_2 desorption;it also exhibited excellent catalytic stability of more than 200 h.展开更多
