AbstractThe effect of different combinations of a new tri-templating agent TEAOH/DEA/TEA, namely tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAOH)/diethylamine (DEA)/triethylamine (TEA), on the catalytic performance of SAPO-34 was investigated in MTO conversion. It was found that SAPO-34 and SAPO-5 are competing phases at TEA concentrations higher than 40 %. Pure SAPO-34 with high crystallinity, large BET surface area and small crystal size (0.8~1.4μm) was obtained at a low TEA concentrations. The combination of TEAOH/DEA/TEA strongly governed the acidity of crystals. TEAOH:DEA:TEA=0.67:0.67:0.67 gave an economical catalyst active in MTO reaction with 100 % methanol conversion, 89.39 % ethylene and propylene selectivity, a longest lifetime and a high coke capability of 24.2 wt %.

A series of SAPO-34 materials were synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of mixed templating agent (named TEDE) of tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) and diethylamine (DEA). The effects of template amount, SiO2/Al2O3 and P2O5/Al2O3 molar ratios and the crystallization temperature on the structure and acidity were studied by XRD, nitrogen adsorption and NH3-TPD techniques. The results showed that SAPO-34 and SAPO-5 are competing phases at low template concentration. Pure SAPO-34 with high crystallinity and large BET surface area were obtained at a TEDE/Al2O3 ratio of 2.0. Varying the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio at 0.1~1.0 did not change the purity of SAPO-34, but affected its crystallinity and acidity. An optimal synthesis procedure giving a homogeneous SAPO-34 framework with high crystallinity, consists of heating a gel of composition Al2O3:P2O5:0.6SiO2:1.0TEAOH:1.0DEA:53H2O at 100 °C for 24h firstly and 200 °C for 72h later. Such a reproducible procedure gave rise to an acidic catalyst active in the MTO reactions with 100% methanol conversion, 85.2% ethylene and propylene selectivity and a longest lifetime.

A series of Mo-ZSM-5 zeolites have been synthesized by in site hydrothermal method and their catalytic performance for methanol conversion to propylene was tested in a fixed bed reaction at WHSV=4 h-1, pressure of 1 atm, and MeOH/H2O (mol) ratio of 1. The effect of Mo and Al content on the structure and acidity of Mo-ZSM-5 zeolites were characterized by nitrogen adsorption and NH3-TPD. The results showed that Mo incorporation gradually decreased the BET surface area and weaken the strong acidity on the surface of the zeolites. At 470 °C, the maximum selectivity of propylene and the P/E (Propylene to Ethane) ratio were achieved 45.04 % and 7.30, which were higher than those over Mo free HZSM-5 by 4.12% and 3.47, respectively. Mo-ZSM-5 zeolites are promising catalysts for methanol conversion to propylene with a high P/E.

Aim and Objective: The research focuses on recent progress in the production of light olefins. Hence, the common catalyst of the reaction (SAPO-34) deactivates quickly because of coke formation, we reorganized the mechanism combining SAPO-34 with a natural zeolite in order to delay the deactivation time. Materials and Methods: The synthesis of nanocomposite catalyst was conducted hydrothermally using experimental design. Firstly, Clinoptilolite was modified using nitric acid in order to achieve nano scaled material. Then, the initial gel of the SAPO-34 was prepared using DEA, aluminum isopropoxide, phosphoric acid and TEOS as the organic template, sources of Aluminum, Phosphor, and Silicate, respectively. Finally, the modified zeolite was combined with SAPO-34's gel. Results: 20 different catalysts due to D-Optimal design were synthesized and the nanocomposite with 50 weight percent of SAPO-34, 4 hours Crystallization and early Clinoptilolite precipitation showed the highest relative crystallinity, partly high BET surface area and hierarchical structure. Conclusion: Different analysis illustrated the existence of both components. The most important property alteration of nanocomposite was the increment of pore mean diameters and reduction in pore volumes in comparison with free SAPO-34. Due to low price of Clinoptilolite, the new catalyst develops the economy of the process. Using this composite, according to formation of multi-sized pores located hierarchically on the surface of the catalyst and increased surface area, significant amounts of Ethylene and Propylene, in comparison with free SAPO-34, were produced, as well as deactivation time that was improved.

A series of NiO–CeO2 mixed oxide catalysts have been synthesized by a modified coprecipitation method at three different pH values (pH = 8, 9, and 10). The NiO–CeO2 mixed oxide samples were characterized by TGA, XRD, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), FTIR, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and electron microscopy (high-angle annular dark-field transmission electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (HAADF-TEM/EDS)). The catalytic activities of the samples for soot oxidation were investigated under loose and tight contact conditions. The catalysts exhibited a high BET surface area with average crystal sizes that varied with the pH values. Electron microscopy results showed the formation of small crystallites (~5 nm) of CeO2 supported on large plate-shaped particles of NiO (~20 nm thick). XRD showed that a proportion of the Ni2+ was incorporated into the ceria network, and it appeared that the amount on Ni2+ that replaced Ce4+ was higher when the synthesis of the mixed oxides was carried out at a lower pH. Among the synthesized catalysts, Ni-Ce-8 (pH = 8) exhibited the best catalytic performance.

We reported the synthesis of a promising carbon nanofiber-titania-cordierite monolith composite (C/TiO2/monolith) and its application in citral hydrogenation. The composite was synthesized through two steps: TiO2 coating on the surface of the monolith with sol-gel method and the following carbon deposit by methane decomposition. C/TiO2/monolith was subsequently employed to prepare its supported palladium catalyst, Pd/C/TiO2/monolith and its catalytic performance was evaluated in selective hydrogenation of citral. Results revealed that 2.0 wt% tetrabutyl titanate sol in composite synthesis was the best in improving textural properties of C/TiO2/monolith. The optimal composite possessed a BET surface area of 39.4 m2/g and micropore area accounted for only 3.8% of its total BET surface area. It contained about 30 wt% of carbon, which was mainly composed of carbon nanofiber. Pd/C/TiO2/monolith exhibited the high citronellal selectivity (81%) at 90% citral conversion, which was attributed to the decrease of internal diffusion limitation due to its mesoporous structure.

Introducing mesopores into the channels and cages of conventional micropores CHA (Chabazite) topological structure SAPO-34 molecular sieves can effectively improve mass transport, retard coke deposition rate and enhance the catalytic performance for methanol to olefins (MTO) reaction, especially lifetime and olefins selectivity. In order to overcome the intrinsic diffusion limitation, a novel CO2-based polyurea copolymer with affluent amine group, ether segment and carbonyl group has been firstly applied to the synthesis of SAPO-34 zeolite under hydrothermal conditions. The as-synthesized micro-mesoporosity SAPO-34 molecular sieve catalysts show heterogeneous size distribution mesopores and exhibit slightly decrease of BET surface area due to the formation of defects and voids. Meanwhile, the catalysts exhibit superior catalytic performance in the MTO reaction with more than twice prolonged catalytic lifespan and improvement of selectivity for light olefins compared with conventional microporous SAPO-34. The methodology provides a new way to synthesize and control the structure of SAPO-34 catalysts.

SAPO-34 molecular sieves were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using different combinations of tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAOH)/morpholine (Mor)/triethylamine (TEA) as templates, with different silicon:aluminum ratios. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized SAPO-34 were characterized using XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, XRF, TG, NH3-TPD, FT-IR, and 29Si MAS NMR analyses. According to the SEM and the N2 adsorption–desorption of the catalysts produced by the ternary template exhibited a larger surface area and a smaller crystal size than those produced by the single or binary templates. The FT-IR analysis indicated the increased acidity of the catalyst prepared by the ternary template. A high activity and selectivity to olefins (C2= + C3=) and an optimal silicon to aluminum ratio of 0.4 were obtained from the catalyst synthesized with the ternary template. At the reaction temperature of 450 °C, the methanol conversion approached 100% and the ethylene–propylene selectivity and the lifetime of the catalyst reached maximums of 89.15% and 690 min, respectively.

The influence of catalysts with different templates on direct decomposition of NO in cement kiln exhaust was studied in this paper. The NO direct decomposition rate of porous catalyst materials with different templates was determined by infrared spectrometer. And pore structure and the microstructure of the catalysts were characterized by BET surface area, nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The results show that the catalytic performance of porous catalyst without any template is better than catalysts with other templates at low temperature. When the temperature reached 550 °C, NO decomposition rate of porous catalyst with CTAB could reach to more than 80%. And meanwhile, the catalysts with organic template reagent have higher BET surface area than those with inorganic template agent. With the increasing of the reaction time, the NO decomposition rate decreases. After reaction for 3 hours, the decomposition rate decreases from 80% to 40%.

TiO2 and TiO2-Al2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method using hydrolysis of Titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) with ethanol and water mixture as titania source. TiO2-Al2O3 Nano-composite was successfully synthesized using the sol-gel technique. Tetraisopropoxide and aluminium isopropoxide were used to prepare TiO2-Al2O3. All prepared samples calcination were conducted at different temperature (400 to 700) oC. The synthesized TiO2 and TiO2-Al2O3 nanocomposites were then characterized by XRD, AFM, BET surface area, SEM, XRF. XRD, the analysis showed that the presence of alumina (Al2O3) in the TiO2 has an effect on crystal size, particles size, surface area, and crystal phases; The XRD result revealed that the prepared TiO2 nanoparticles were anatase phase at 400oC, and 500oC, and transformed to rutile from 600oC to 700oC, but after addition of alumina TiO2 was of anatase phase, without any rutile at all calcination temperatures, also, the addition of alumina leads to a significant decrease in the crystal size, particles size, especially at high temperatures while the surface area of pure titanium was increased, and this corresponds to the results of the AFM and SEM. The best-obtained surface area was 355.18 m2/ gm. with 34.98 nm of average particle size at 500oC in comparison with pure nano titanium dioxide

TiO2/stellerite composite photocatalysts were prepared by dispersing TiO2 onto the surface of HCl, NaOH, or NaCl treated stellerite using a sol-gel method. The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), BET surface area analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). HCl and NaCl modification result in the promotion of the pore formation at the stellerite surfaces and induced the microscopic changes, while the surface morphology and structure of the stellerite were almost ruined by NaOH modification. Supported TiO2 calcinated at 200°C presented anatase structure. The photocatalytic degradation activities of TiO2 loaded HCl and NaCl modified stellerite were better than that of natural stellerite, accompanied with increasing specific surface area. On the contrary, NaOH modification induced the loss of photocatalytic ability of composite due to the generation of silicates.
