Catalytic rapid pyrolysis ofQuercus variabilis, a Korean native tree species, was carried out using Py-GC/MS. Mesoporous MFI, which has both nanopores and micropores, and three nanoporous materials, Al-MCM-41, Al-SBA-15, andγ-Al2O3, were used as the catalyst. The acid sites of mesoporous MFI were strong Brønsted acid sites, whereas those of nanoporous materials were mostly weak acid sites. The composition of the product bio-oil varied greatly depending on the acid characteristics of the catalyst used. Phenolics were the most abundant species in the bio-oil, followed by acids and furanics, obtained over Al-MCM-41 or Al-SBA-15 with weak acid sites, whereas aromatics were the most abundant species produced over mesoporous MFI with strong acid sites, followed by phenolics. Aromatics, phenolics, and furanics are all important chemicals contributing to the improvement of bio-oil quality.

Niobium- and tantalum-containing mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 have been synthesized, and applied as a catalyst for vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to ε-caprolactam. NbMCM-41 catalyst exhibited high catalytic performance in the vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime. The oxime conversions were almost 100% and the lactam selectivities were around 80%. The lactam selectivities of NbMCM-41 catalyst were higher than those of AlMCM-41 catalyst. However, TaMCM-41 catalyst exhibited lower catalytic performance than AlMCM-41 catalyst, and it was fast deactivated with time. These results may be due to the acidity difference among the catalysts. The results from NH3-TPD showed that NbMCM-41 catalyst possessed weak and medium acid sites, while TaMCM-41 catalyst possessed only very weak acid sites. AlMCM-41 catalyst also exhibited only weak acid sites.

Abstract In this study, a facile and rapid synthesis approach for SSZ-13 catalyst was proposed using choline chloride (CC) as template. The optimal synthesis condition was explored, and the catalytic performance for methanol-to-olefins (MTO) was examined. Results revealed that the appropriate ratio of soft template could meet the condition for rapid and ordered growth of catalyst crystals. Using environmentally friend and cheaper CC as template could greatly accelerate the formation of bi-hexagonal ring structure in SSZ-13 framework, and it could shorten the synthesis cycle to within 4 h. With a proper amount of CC addition (i.e., m(CC)/m(SiO2) = 0.14), uniform and homogeneously distributed cubic SSZ-13 crystals were obtained with relatively lower aggregation. The catalyst synthesized with m(CC)/m(SiO2)=0.14 demonstrated excellent porous features with a total specific surface area and mesopore volume of 641.706 m2.g-1 and 0.0377 cm3.g-1, respectively. The optimized strong and weak acid sites on the SSZ-13 were obtained by regulating the m(CC)/m(SiO2). As a typical acid catalytic reaction, the SSZ-13 catalyst with strong and weak acid sites exhibited bi-functional role. The lower amount of strong acid sites and larger amount of weak acid sites in the synthesized catalyst were conducive to the catalytic performance for MTO under relatively lower reaction temperature (450 oC). Consequently, the synthesized SSZ-13 showed a better conversion rate and lifetime than that of purchased one. The methanol conversion rate using synthesized catalyst was maintained over 95% within 120 min, and its lifetime was achieved to 172 min. The appropriate acidity and well-developed pore structure of synthesized SSZ-13 could slow down the carbon deposition rate and significantly increase the lifetime of the catalyst. Moreover, the initial selectivity of light olefin could maintain above 50% within 160 min. Eventually, the desirable features of synthesized SSZ-13 catalyst were thought be with good potential for industrial application.

Glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production; its upgrading to more valuable products is a demanding issue. Hydrogenolysis to 1,2-propanediol is one of the most interesting processes among the possible upgrading routes. In this study, we propose novel copper/zirconia catalysts prepared by advanced preparation methods, including copper deposition via metal–organic framework (MOF) and support preparation via the sol–gel route. The catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD analyses and tested in a commercial batch reactor. The catalyst prepared by copper deposition via MOF decomposition onto commercial zirconia showed the best catalytic performance, reaching 75% yield. The improved catalytic performance was assigned to a proper combination of redox and acid properties. In particular, a non-negligible fraction of cuprous oxide and of weak acid sites seems fundamental to preferentially activate the selective pathway. In particular, these features avoid the overhydrogenolysis of 1,2-propanediol to 1-propanol and enhance glycerol dehydration to hydroxyacetone and the successive hydrogenation of hydroxyacetone to 1,2-propanediol.

AbstractWurtzite-type Zn1−x MnxO (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) nanostructures were successfully synthesised using a simple microwave-assisted hydrothermal route and their catalytic properties were investigated in the cellulose conversion. The morphology of the nanocatalysts is dopant-dependent. Pure ZnO presented multi-plate morphology with a flower-like shape of nanometric sizes, while the Zn0.97Mn0.03O sample is formed by nanoplates with the presence of spherical nanoparticles; the Zn0.95Mn0.05O and Zn0.93Mn0.07O samples are mainly formed by nanorods with the presence of a small quantity of spherical nanoparticles. The catalyst without Mn did not show any catalytic activity in the cellulose conversion. The Mn doping promoted an increase in the density of weak acid sites which, according to the catalytic results, favoured promotion of the reaction.

The appropriate acidity and well-developed pore structure of synthesized SSZ-13 could also slow down the carbon deposition rate and, thus, significantly improve the catalytic lifetime of the catalyst. The methanol conversion rate and initial selectivity of light olefin using the synthesized catalyst could maintain over 95% and 50%, respectively, and a lifetime of 172 min was achieved. Although the low olefin selectivity of the synthesized SSZ-13 catalyst was slightly lower than that of the purchased one, its desirable features were thought to have good potential for industrial application.

This study focuses on analyzing the effects of the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of a support on the physico-chemical properties of bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5 catalysts and on the catalytic performance during the hydrocracking reaction of PFO. CoMo/HZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by an incipient wetness method. Subsequently, binder-added catalysts were molded into the bead type catalysts. The N2 adsorption-dersorption results clearly indicate that the nanoporous structure was well developed in the bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5 catalyst. The CoMo/HZSM-5(30) catalyst not only possessed the highest number of acid sites but also showed the highest ratio of strong acid to weak acid sites. Moreover, the Lewis acid/Brönsted acid site ratio is highest with the CoMo/HZSM-5(30) catalysts. A hydrocracking reaction of PFO over the bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5 catalysts was conducted at 400 °C and under 40 atm in a fixed-bed reactor. The bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5(30) catalyst showed the highest BTXE yield with a sum of BTXE outcome of 43.0% in the catalytic cracking reaction of PFO, which is attributed to the synergistic combination of suitable acidity and hierarchical porosity.
