Regulating the acid property of zeolite is an effective strategy to improve dehydration of intermediate alcohol, which is the rate-determining step in hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-based phenolic compounds. Herein, a commercial Hβ (SiO2/Al2O3 = 25) was modified by phosphoric acid, and evaluated in the catalytic performance of guaiacol to cyclohexane, combined with Ni/SiO2 prepared by the ammonia evaporation hydrothermal (AEH) method. Incorporating a small amount of phosphorus had little impact on the morphology, texture properties of Hβ, but led to dramatic variations in acid property, including the amount of acid sites and the ratio of Brønsted acid sites to Lewis acid sites, as confirmed by NH3-TPD, Py-IR, FT-IR and 27Al MAS NMR. Phosphorus modification on Hβ could effectively balance competitive adsorption of guaiacol on Lewis acid sites and intermediate alcohol dehydration on Brønsted acid sites, and then enhanced the catalytic performance of guaiacol hydrodeoxygenation to cyclohexane. By comparison, Hβ containing 2 wt.% phosphorus reached the highest activity and cyclohexane selectivity.

Effective and convenient co-sensitization method for DSSC have been newly developed by employing two kinds of D–π–A dyes with pyridyl group capable of adsorbing at the Brønsted acid sites and the Lewis acid sites on TiO2 surface.

The aim of the present paper is to study the speciation and the role of different active site types (copper species and Brønsted acid sites) in the direct synthesis of furan from furfural catalyzed by copper-exchanged FAU31 zeolite. Four series of samples were prepared by using different conditions of post-synthesis treatment, which exhibit none, one or two types of active sites. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, low-temperature sorption of nitrogen, SEM, H2-TPR, NMR and by means of IR spectroscopy with ammonia and CO sorption as probe molecules to assess the types of active sites. All catalyst underwent catalytic tests. The performed experiments allowed to propose the relation between the kind of active centers (Cu or Brønsted acid sites) and the type of detected products (2-metylfuran and furan) obtained in the studied reaction. It was found that the production of 2-methylfuran (in trace amounts) is determined by the presence of the redox-type centers, while the protonic acid sites are mainly responsible for the furan production and catalytic activity in the whole temperature range. All studied catalysts revealed very high susceptibility to coking due to polymerization of furfural.

Porous clay heterostructures (PCH) was derived from natural kaolin through intercalation with cationic potato starch as the template. Leaching of PCH was performed in concentrated acid solutions consisting of HCl and H2SO4. Phosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on PCH and modified PCH were synthesized by wet impregnation method. The resulting PCH showed remarkable increase in surface area starting from 15 m2g–1 for the parent kaolin to maximium value of 725 m2g–1 for PCH. Acidity studies by pyridine adsorption and FTIR spectra showed that both natural kaolin and PCH possessed strong Lewis acid sites. In contrast, the surface acidity of HPW supported on PCH was significantly enhanced and comprising mainly Brönsted acid sites. The correlation between the Brönsted to Lewis acid ratios (B/L) and either conversion or selectivity of the catalysts has been studied in Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole. The PCH/30HPW catalyst with the highest number of Brönsted acid sites showed excellent catalytic activity giving 86% conversion of anisole and high selectivity of 95% toward p-methoxypropiophenone.

AbstractNH3-SCR (selective catalytic reduction) is important process for removal of NOx. However, water vapor included in exhaust gases critically inhibits the reaction in a low temperature range. Here, we report bulk W-substituted vanadium oxide catalysts for NH3-SCR at a low temperature (100–150 °C) and in the presence of water (~20 vol%). The 3.5 mol% W-substituted vanadium oxide shows >99% (dry) and ~93% (wet, 5–20 vol% water) NO conversion at 150 °C (250 ppm NO, 250 ppm NH3, 4% O2, SV = 40000 mL h−1 gcat−1). Lewis acid sites of W-substituted vanadium oxide are converted to Brønsted acid sites under a wet condition while the distribution of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites does not change without tungsten. NH4+ species adsorbed on Brønsted acid sites react with NO accompanied by the reduction of V5+ sites at 150 °C. The high redox ability and reactivity of Brønsted acid sites are observed for bulk W-substituted vanadium oxide at a low temperature in the presence of water, and thus the catalytic cycle is less affected by water vapor.
