Nevertheless, conventional synthesis methods usually require expensive structure-directing agents(SDAs), pricey raw materials, and eco-unfriendly fluorine-containing additives. Here, we contributed a cost-effective and fluoride-free synthesis method for synthesizing high-quality MFI zeolite nanosheets through a Silicalite-1(Sil-1) seed suspension and urea cooperative strategy, only with inexpensive colloidal silica as the Si source. Our approach was effective for synthesizing both Sil-1 and aluminum-containing ZSM-5 nanosheets. By optimizing key synthesis parameters,including seed aging time, seed quantity, and urea concentration, we achieved precise control over the crystal face aspect ratio and b-axis thickness. We also revealed a non-classical oriented nanosheet growth mechanism, where Sil-1 seeds induced the formation of quasi-ordered precursor particles, and the(010)crystal planes of these particles facilitated urea adsorption, thereby promoting c-axis-oriented growth.The obtained ZSM-5 nanosheets exhibited exceptional catalytic performance in the benzene alkylation with ethanol, maintaining stability for over 500 h, which is 5 times longer than traditional ZSM-5 catalysts. Furthermore, large-scale production of ZSM-5 nanosheets was successfully carried out in a 3 L highpressure autoclave, yielding samples consistent with those from laboratory-scale synthesis. This work marks a significant step forward in the sustainable and efficient production of MFI nanosheets using inexpensive and environmentally friendly raw materials, offering the broad applicability in catalysis.展开更多

A comparative study of products of thermal and thermocatalytic cracking of polypropylene(PP) in the presence of potassium polytitanate(PPT) synthesized by treatment of TiO_(2)(rutile) powder with molten mixture of KOH...A comparative study of products of thermal and thermocatalytic cracking of polypropylene(PP) in the presence of potassium polytitanate(PPT) synthesized by treatment of TiO_(2)(rutile) powder with molten mixture of KOH and KNO_(3) taken in a weight ratio of 30∶30∶40 has been carried out.It was shown that the studied type of PPT powder exhibits catalytic properties in the reaction of thermal decomposition of PP,compared to the effect of commercial zeolite catalyst CBV-780 traditionally used for this purpose.Based on the analysis performed,the differences in the mechanism of catalytic action of PPT and the zeolite were considered.The reasons for the observed differences in the composition of PP cracking products and in the rate of coke formation on the surface of studied catalysts were analyzed.Considering the obtained results,it has been proposed that the CBV-780 catalyst promoted more intensive production of the gaseous hydrocarbons compared to PPT,due to higher specific surface area(internal surface) accessible for relatively light and small-sized hydrocarbon products of cracking.However,intensive coke formation on the outer surface of the microporous zeolite contributes to the blocking of transport channels and the rapid loss of catalytic action.At the same time,PPT,which initially has a smaller specific surface area,retains its catalytic activity significantly longer due to slit-shaped flat pores and higher transport accessibility of the inner surface.展开更多

Our approach was effective for synthesizing both Sil-1 and aluminum-containing ZSM-5 nanosheets. By optimizing key synthesis parameters,including seed aging time, seed quantity, and urea concentration, we achieved precise control over the crystal face aspect ratio and b-axis thickness. We also revealed a non-classical oriented nanosheet growth mechanism, where Sil-1 seeds induced the formation of quasi-ordered precursor particles, and the(010)crystal planes of these particles facilitated urea adsorption, thereby promoting c-axis-oriented growth.The obtained ZSM-5 nanosheets exhibited exceptional catalytic performance in the benzene alkylation with ethanol, maintaining stability for over 500 h, which is 5 times longer than traditional ZSM-5 catalysts. Furthermore, large-scale production of ZSM-5 nanosheets was successfully carried out in a 3 L highpressure autoclave, yielding samples consistent with those from laboratory-scale synthesis. This work marks a significant step forward in the sustainable and efficient production of MFI nanosheets using inexpensive and environmentally friendly raw materials, offering the broad applicability in catalysis.

文摘High-capacity LiBH_(4)is a promising solid hydrogen storage material.However,the large electron cloud density between the B-H bonds in LiBH_(4)induces high dehydrogenation temperatures and sluggish dehydrogenation kinetics.To solve the above problems,it is proposed to enhance the hydrogen storage properties of LiBH_(4)through the synergistic effect of Brønsted and Lewis acid in Hβzeolite.Composite hydrogen storage systems with different mass ratios were prepared by simple ball-milling.At a LiBH_(4)-to-Hβmass ratio of 6:4,the 6LiBH_(4)-4Hβsystem released hydrogen at 190℃and achieved a hydrogen release capacity of 7.0 wt%H_(2)upon heating to 400℃.More importantly,the hydrogen release capacity of the system reached 6.02 wt%at 350℃under isothermal conditions after 100 min and 7.2 wt%at 400℃under isothermal conditions after 80 min,whereas the pristine LiBH_(4)only achieved 2.2 wt%.The improvement in hydrogen storage performance of the system was mainly attributed to two factors:(i)Lewis acid sites with acceptable electrons in the Hβweaken the electron density of B-H bonds in LiBH_(4),and(ii)the H+proton from the Brønsted acid sites and H−of LiBH_(4)undergo a H^(+)+H^(−)=H_(2)reaction.Theoretical calculations revealed that the Lewis and Brønsted acid sites in the Hβzeolite are conducive to the weakening of B-H bonds and that storage charge transfer occurs near the Lewis acid sites.The present work provides new insights into improving the hydrogen storage performance of LiBH_(4)by weakening the B-H bonds in the LiBH_(4).

文摘Nitrogen oxides(NO_(x))from diesel engine exhaust,is one of the major sources of environmental pollution.Currently,selective catalytic reduction with ammonia(NH_(3)-SCR)is considered to be the most effective protocol for reducing NO_(x)emissions.Nowadays,zeolitebased NH_(3)-SCR catalysts have been industrialized and widespread used in this field.Nevertheless,with the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and implementation of the requirement of“zero emission”of diesel engine exhaust,it is extremely urgent to prepare catalysts with superior NH_(3)-SCR activity and exceptional resistance to poisons(SO2,alkali metals,hydrocarbons,etc.).Core-shell structure zeolite-based catalysts(CSCs)have shown great promise in NH_(3)-SCR of NO_(x)in recent years by virtue of its relatively higher low-temperature activity,broader operation temperature window and outstanding resistance to poisons.This review mainly focuses on the recent progress of CSCs for NH_(3)-SCR of NO_(x)with three extensively investigated SSZ-13,ZSM-5,Beta zeolites as cores.The reaction mechanisms of resistance to sulfur poisoning,alkali metal poisoning,hydrocarbon poisoning,and hydrothermal aging are summarized.Moreover,the important role of interfacial effect between core and shell in the reaction of NH_(3)-SCR was clarified.Finally,the future development and application outlook of CSCs are prospected.

文摘Zeolite-loaded noble metal catalysts have demonstrated excellent performance in addressing cold-start automotive exhaust NOx emissions and catalytic oxidation of VOCs applications.Pd and Pt are the most commonly used active metals in PNA and VOC catalysts,respectively.However,despite the same metal/zeolite composition,the efficient active sites for PNA and VOC catalysts have been viewed as mainly Pd^(2+) and Pt^(0),respectively,both of which are different from each other.As a result,various methods need to be applied to dope Pd and Pt in zeolitic support respectively for different usages.No matter which type of metal species is needed,the common requirement for both PNA and VOC catalysts is that the metal species should be highly dispersed in zeolite support and stay stable.The purpose of this paper is to review the progress of synthetic means of zeolite-coated noble metals(Pd,Pt,etc.)as effective PNA or VOC catalysts.To give a better understanding of the relationship between efficient metal species and the introduced methods,the species that contributed to the NOx adsorption(PNA)and VOCs deep catalytic oxidation were first summarized and compared.Then,based on the above discussion,the detailed construction strategies for different active sites in PNA and VOC catalysts,respectively,were elaborated in terms of synthetic routes,precursor selection,and zeolite carrier requirements.It is hoped that this will contribute to a better understanding of noble metal adsorption/catalysis in zeolites and provide promising strategies for the design of adsorption/catalysts with high activity,selectivity and stability.
文摘A comparative study of products of thermal and thermocatalytic cracking of polypropylene(PP) in the presence of potassium polytitanate(PPT) synthesized by treatment of TiO_(2)(rutile) powder with molten mixture of KOH and KNO_(3) taken in a weight ratio of 30∶30∶40 has been carried out.It was shown that the studied type of PPT powder exhibits catalytic properties in the reaction of thermal decomposition of PP,compared to the effect of commercial zeolite catalyst CBV-780 traditionally used for this purpose.Based on the analysis performed,the differences in the mechanism of catalytic action of PPT and the zeolite were considered.The reasons for the observed differences in the composition of PP cracking products and in the rate of coke formation on the surface of studied catalysts were analyzed.Considering the obtained results,it has been proposed that the CBV-780 catalyst promoted more intensive production of the gaseous hydrocarbons compared to PPT,due to higher specific surface area(internal surface) accessible for relatively light and small-sized hydrocarbon products of cracking.However,intensive coke formation on the outer surface of the microporous zeolite contributes to the blocking of transport channels and the rapid loss of catalytic action.At the same time,PPT,which initially has a smaller specific surface area,retains its catalytic activity significantly longer due to slit-shaped flat pores and higher transport accessibility of the inner surface.

文摘The effectiveness of Elodea nuttallii combined with a mixture of hydrous ferric oxide,zeolite and calcite(HZC)to reduce the internal loading of phosphorus(P)from sediment and its mechanism were studied,and the effect of Elodea nuttallii combined with HZC on the composition and function of the microbial communities in the surface sediment was also investigated.The results showed that the combination utilization of Elodea nuttallii and HZC can decrease the risk of phosphorus liberation from sediment to the overlying water,and the controlling efficiency of Elodea nuttallii combined with HZCwas higher than that of Elodea nuttallii or HZC alone.The passivation of labile P measured by diffusive gradient in thin film device and mobile P played a crucial role in the control of internal P loading from sediment by the combined Elodea nuttallii+HZC treatment.HZC capping had a promoting effect on the growth of Elodea nuttallii.This was beneficial to the absorption of phosphorus from sediment by Elodea nuttallii.The combined application of Elodea nuttallii and HZC not only had a certain negative effect on the diversity of bacteria in the surface sediment,but also changed themicrobial compositions of the surface sediment at the levels of phylum and genus.However,the microbial communities in the surface sediment still can perform good ecological function.The above results suggest that the combined application of Elodea nuttallii and HZC has a high potential in the management of internal P loading from sediment.
文摘Methyl methoxyacetate(MMAc)and methyl formate(MF)can be produced directly by heterogeneous zeolite-catalyzed carbonylation and disproportionation of dimethoxymethane(DMM),with near 100%selectivity for each process.Despite continuous research efforts,the insight into the reaction mechanism and kinetics theory are still in their nascent stage.In this study,ZEO-1 material,a zeolite with up to now the largest cages comprising 16×16-MRs,16×12-MRs,and 12×12-MRs,was explored for DMM carbonylation and disproportionation reactions.The rate of MMAc formation based on accessible Brönsted acid sites is 2.5 times higher for ZEO-1(Si/Al=21)relative to the previously investigated FAU(Si/Al=15),indicating the positive effect of spatial separation of active sites in ZEO-1 on catalytic activity.A higher MF formation rate is also observed over ZEO-1 with lower activation energy(79.94 vs.95.19 kJ/mol)compared with FAU(Si/Al=30).Two types of active sites are proposed within ZEO-1 zeolite:Site 1 located in large cages formed by 16×16-MRs and 16×12-MRs,which is active predominantly for MMAc formation,and Site 2 located in smaller cages for methyl formate/dimethyl ether formation.Kinetics investigation of DMM carbonylation over ZEO-1 exhibit a first-order dependence on CO partial pressure and a slightly inverse-order dependence on DMM partial pressure.The DMM disproportionation is nearly first-order dependence on DMM partial pressure,while it reveals a strongly inverse dependence with increasing CO partial pressure.Furthermore,ZEO-1 exhibits good catalytic stability,and almost no deactivation is observed during the more than 70 h test with high carbonylation selectivity of above 89%,due to the well-enhanced diffusion property demonstrated by intelligent-gravimetric analysis.

文摘The cerium-silicate pillared MWW zeolites are fabricated by introducing Ce species into the silica pillars within adjacent MWW layers through a liquid-phase pillaring method,and the multiple-layer structure of MWW zeolites is well maintained.However,it's found that these Ce^(3+)species can produce the Bronsted acid sites by the dissociation of water molecules owing to the electrostatic field of Ce^(3+)cations,the splitting of water molecules occurs following[Ce(H_2O)_n]^(3+)■Ce[(OH)(H_2O)_(n-1)]^(2+)+H^(+)equation based on the Plank-Hirschler mechanism,leading to superior activity of resultant cerium-silicate pillared MWW zeolites in the alkylation between benzene with 1-dodecene.Moreover,the additional Ce species located in the silica pillars can be easily accessed by vip molecules due to the presence of mesopores between neighboring MWW layers,which can strongly active benzene molecules by polarization effect,and dodecyl carbenium ions are preferred to attack the carbon atoms located in activated benzene molecules,resulting in the long lifetime of cerium-silicate pillared MWW zeolites since the oligomerization of long-chain olefins is suppressed.Under harsh reaction conditions(benzene/1-dodecene=10,WHSV=20 h^(-1)),the optimized cerium-silicate pillared MWW zeolite shows outstanding activity(>40%)and excellent selectivity(>85%)of 2-LAB in the alkylation of benzene with 1-dodecene.
文摘Hydrocracking technology represents a crucial position in the conversion of heavy oil and the transformation development from oil refining to the chemical industry.The properties of catalysts are one of the key factors in the hydrocracking process.As the main acidic component of hydrocracking catalyst,the influence of zeolite properties on the reaction performance has been the focus of research.In this study,a series of NiMo/Al_(2)O_(3)-Y catalysts were prepared using different Y zeolites as acidic components,and their performances in the hydrocracking of n-C_(10)were also evaluated.The structure-activity relationship between Y zeolite and the cracking performance of n-C_(10)was investigated with machine learning.First,a database of the physical and chemical properties of Y zeolite and their performance was established,and the correlation analysis was also conducted.Parameters such as the cell constant,acid content,acid strength,B/L ratio,mesopore volume,micropore volume of Y zeolite,and the reaction temperature were selected as independent variables.The conversion of n-C_(10)and the ratios of products C_(3)/C_(7)and i-C_(4)/n-C_(4)were selected as dependent variables.A model was established by the random forest algorithm and a new zeolite was predicted based on it.The results of model prediction were in good agreement with the experimental results.The R^(2)of the n-C_(10)conversion,C_(3)/C_(7)ratio,and i-C_(4)/n-C_(4)ratio were 0.9866,0.9845,and 0.9922,and the minimum root mean square error values were 0.0163,0.101,and 0.0211,respectively.These results can provide reference for the development of high performance hydrocracking catalyst and technology.

文摘A combination of experimental and statistical analysis presents a comprehensive understanding of the microwave pyrolysis technique for catalytic deconstruction of mixed-density plastics.By optimizing the process parameters and catalyst selection,it is possible to maximize the production of valuable solid and energy products,contributing to sustainable waste management.In this work,different mixed-density plastics were pyrolyzed with different catalysts and residence times to yield liquid fuel,syngas,and structured carbon residue.The effect of inputs on the product type,yield and composition was statistically evaluated using ANOVA,which showed an F value of 4.108 and a p-value of 0.098(>1.00).FTIR and GC-MS revealed that the oil product consisted of C13+fractions in the form of alkanes,alkenes,and aromatics.The microscopic analysis of the residue confirmed the formation of carbon nanotubes along with other amorphous products.The presence of impurities in the solid product was further analyzed through XRD analysis.The pyrolytic liquid fuel revealed the presence of conjugated aromatic structure and carbonyl group in their concentration.This research demonstrated that converting mixed-density plastics using sodium zeolite,aluminum oxide,and nickel oxide catalysts yields 84%valuable products,confirming wasted plastics as a lucrative energy feedstock for producing hydrogen and high-value carbon compounds.
文摘Propane dehydrogenation(PDH)has emerged as a key on-purpose technology for the production of propylene,but it often depends on toxic chromium and expensive platinum catalysts,highlighting the need for environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives.In this study,we developed a facile impregnation method to fabricate unsaturated Co single-atoms with a tricoordinated Co_(1)O_(3)H_(x) structure by regulating silanol nests in purely siliceous Beta zeolites.Detailed PDH catalytic tests and characterizations revealed a positive correlation between the presence of silanol nests and enhanced catalytic activity.Additionally,the unsaturated Co single-atoms exhibited a carbon deposition rate more than an order of magnitude slower than that of Co nanoparticles.Notably,the optimized Co_(0.3%)/deAl-meso-Beta catalyst achieved a record-high propylene formation rate of 21.2 mmol_(C3H6) g_(cat)^(-1) h^(-1),with an exceptional propylene selectivity of 99.1%at 550℃.Moreover,the Co_(0.3%)/deAl-meso-Beta catalyst demonstrated excellent stability,with negligible deactivation after 5 consecutive regeneration cycles.This study emphasizes the pivotal role of silanol nests of zeolites in stabilizing and modulating the coordination environment of metallic active sites,providing valuable insights for the design of high-activity,high-stability,and low-cost PDH catalysts.

文摘The preparation of dispersible MFI-type zeolite nanoparticles with open micropores is challenging.Herein,a rapid and effective ultrasound-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation method along with a freezedrying process for redispersion of calcined silicalite-1(S-1)zeolite nanoparticle aggregates using 3-aminopropanol as an exfoliating agent is demonstrated.The exfoliation of S-1 zeolite nanoparticles is characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and DLS particle size analysis.The effects of drying methods of as-synthesized zeolite nanoparticle suspension,zeolite contents in frozen nanoparticle suspension,exfoliating agent concentrations,and zeolite doses in ultrasonic suspension on exfoliation efficiency are systematically investigated.It is found that the S-1 zeolite nanoparticle(~70 nm)achieves a yield up to 95%through a 30 min ultrasonic exfoliation in a 3-aminopropanol solution along with a freeze-drying process.The proposed exfoliation mechanism involves two primary stages:vip molecule insertion followed by water expansion,both substantially enhanced by tip sonication.This work offers a comprehensive understanding of the exfoliation process,provides valuable insights into the dispersion of sintered zeolite nanoparticles.

文摘Carbon dots(CDs)-based composites have shown impressive performance in fields of information encryption and sensing,however,a great challenge is to simultaneously implement multi-mode luminescence and room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)detection in single system due to the formidable synthesis.Herein,a multifunctional composite of Eu&CDs@p RHO has been designed by co-assembly strategy and prepared via a facile calcination and impregnation treatment.Eu&CDs@p RHO exhibits intense fluorescence(FL)and RTP coming from two individual luminous centers,Eu3+in the free pores and CDs in the interrupted structure of RHO zeolite.Unique four-mode color outputs including pink(Eu^(3+),ex.254 nm),light violet(CDs,ex.365 nm),blue(CDs,254 nm off),and green(CDs,365 nm off)could be realized,on the basis of it,a preliminary application of advanced information encoding has been demonstrated.Given the free pores of matrix and stable RTP in water of confined CDs,a visual RTP detection of Fe^(3+)ions is achieved with the detection limit as low as 9.8μmol/L.This work has opened up a new perspective for the strategic amalgamation of luminous vips with porous zeolite to construct the advanced functional materials.

文摘Metal-support interactions and hydrogen spillover effects in heterogeneous catalysts play a crucial role in aromatic hydrogenation reactions;however,these effects are limited by the metal dispersion on the catalyst and the number of acceptable H*receptors.This study prepares highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles(NPs)catalysts on a Beta substrate via precursor structure topology transformation.In contrast to traditional support materials,the coordination and electronic structure changes between the Ni NPs and the support were achieved,further optimizing the active interface sites and enhancing hydrogen activation and hydrogenation performance.Additionally,the-OH groups at the strong acid sites in zeolite effectively intensified the hydrogen spillover effect as receptors for H^(*)migration and anchoring,accelerating the hydrogenation rate of aromatic rings.Under solvent-free conditions,this catalyst was used for the hydrogenation reaction of aromatic-rich oils,directly producing a C_(8)-C_(14)branched cycloalkanes mixture with an aromatic conversion rate of>99%.The cycloalkanes mixture produced by this method features high density(0.92 g/mL)and a low freezing point(<-60℃),making it suitable for use as high-density aviation fuel or as an additive to enhance the volumetric heat value of conventional aviation fuels in practical applications.
文摘In this study,we investigated Mo-impregnated H-MCM-22 catalysts(denoted Mo/M)for methanedehydroaromatization(MDA)to produce aromatics such as benzene and toluene(BT).We attemptedto improve the performance of the MDA catalysts by reducing the amount of Brönsted acidsites(BAS)of the H-MCM-22 supports via hydrothermal dealumination.Among the prepared catalysts,an optimal hydrothermal treatment(HT)of H-MCM-22 supports at 400℃,followed by Moimpregnation(denoted Mo/M_400),resulted in a reduced and optimal amount of BAS,along with acomparable Mo distribution to Mo/M.Further,Mo/M_400 enhanced BT formation rates(maximumBT formation rate of 5.23 vs.4.73 mmolBT·g^(−1)·h^(−1) for Mo/M);it appears that dealumination-inducedreduction in the quantity of BAS altered their spatial interaction with active Mo species,promotingBT and naphthalene formation.Interestingly,the lifetime of intermediate C_(2)(ethane and ethylene)formation was also improved for Mo/M_400.Rigorous coke analyses revealed that the decreasedcoke content in the aromatic-selective 10-membered-ring(10-MR)pores,as well as the ability ofthe 12-MR pores to accommodate coke deposits over a longer reaction time,improved the stabilityof Mo/M_400.Nonetheless,for all catalysts,the deactivations of BAS,and subsequently,the activeMo sites were mainly ascribed to coke deposition.The overall enhancement in MDA performance byMo/M_400 was attributed to the advantages of the optimally reduced BAS,allowing such performanceto surpass those of previously reported Mo-based catalysts.

文摘Due to the low transport resistance,mullite hollow fiber(HF)could be regarded as a promising support for preparation of NaA zeolite membranes.However,insufficient coverage and undesired seed penetration often occur in the seeding step of the mullite support due to the rough surfaces with ultra-large macropores(2-4 μm).This leads to poor intergrowth of the membrane layer.To solve this issue,cationic polyacrylamide(CPAM)was employed to modify the chemical and electrostatic properties of the mullite HF surface,where the electrostatic attraction between the surface and seed crystals could significantly promote the coating effect.In the seeding,the original seeds(3.2 μm)were mixed with the ball-milled seeds(0.3 μm)to improve the seed coverage,i.e.,the original seed was used to block the macropores on the support surface to prevent the penetration of small seeds,while the decked ball-milled seed was used to provide sufficient active sites to induce the intergrowth of the zeolite crystals.The effects of the concentration of CPAM,mixed mass ratio of seeds,and seed concentration on the preparation of NaA zeolite membranes were systematically examined,where the separation performances were characterized by pervaporation(PV)dehydration of 90%(mass)ethanol/water mixtures at 75℃.The results indicated that under a CPAM concentration of 0.7%(mass),an equivalent mass ratio of mixed seeds in a seed concentration of 1.0%(mass),the prepared mullite HF supported NaA zeolite membrane yielded the best PV performance,where the permeation flux and separation factor corresponded to 5.45 kg·m^(-2)·h^(-1)and 10000,respectively,being sufficient for industrial applications.
