A large number of heterogeneous catalysts were tested in the aldol condensation of heptanal with cyclopentanone. There are many possible products from this aldol condensation, among which the most desired is 2-heptylidenecyclopentanone. As heterogeneous catalysts, the following were tested: caesium modified zeolites, functionalized MCM-41, and single (MgO, CaO, ZnO) and double (Mo–Si, Mg–Al, Zn–Al) metal oxides. The activity of modified zeolites and functionalized zeolites in this aldol condensation was low, whereas single and double metal oxides possessed high activity. The highest selectivity to the desired 2-heptylidenecyclopentanone (52%) was obtained using magnesium oxide as catalyst.

The reaction kinetics of carbon reduction of silica were investigated using thermodynamic concepts and by fitting to relevant models the experimental data obtained for this reduction using a thermogravimetric unit in the temperature range of 1566 to 1933 K. The results show that the only way to produce SiC in this reduction is the reaction of Si, SiO, or SiO2 at the surface or by diffusion of SiO inside the carbon particles while CO and CO2 have no direct effect on the process. The controlling step of this reduction at temperatures lower than 1750 K is the chemical gas–solid or solid–solid reaction at the surface of the carbon particles, while at higher temperatures, the rate of SiO diffusing inside the carbon particles controls the rate of this reduction.

The ammonium uranyl carbonate, (NH4)4UO2(CO3)3, is an important material used in UO2 and U3O8 ceramics production for the nuclear fuel fabrication. Thermal study and kinetic analysis of ammonium uranyl carbonate conversion under isothermal conditions has been studied in air atmosphere to obtain the tri-uranium octoxide (U3O8), using muffle furnace equipment, UV–visible spectrophotometer, gas adsorption, Hg porosimetry, laser granulometry, and optic spectroscopy. The textural properties (specific surface area, morphology, pore size, grain size, inter-particular porosity, and intra-particular porosity) and characteristics (uranium content and stoichiometry) of the prepared samples were estimated from the physical–chemical characterization. The kinetic parameters were estimated by a fitting of the experimental data. The activation energy Ea , frequency factor A , and reaction rate constants k were calculated from the conventional and iso-conversion kinetic models and were within the range of literature values. The activation energy average values are 36.69 and 30.36 kJ mol−1 by conventional and iso-conversion models, respectively.

Although natural gas hydrates and hydrate exploration have been extensively studied for decades, the reaction kinetics and nucleation mechanism of hydrate formation is not fully understood. In its early stage, gas hydrate formation can be assumed to be an autocatalytic kinetic reaction with nucleation and initial growth. In this work, a reaction kinetics model has been established to form structure II methane–propane hydrate in an isochoric reactor. The computational model consists of six pseudo-elementary reactions for three dynamic processes: (1) gas dissolution into the bulk liquid, (2) a slow buildup of hydrate precursors for nucleation onset, and (3) rapid and autocatalytic hydrate growth after onset. The model was programmed using FORTRAN, with initiating parameters and rate constants that were derived or obtained from data fitted using experimental results. The simulations indicate that the length of nucleation induction is determined largely by an accumulation of oligomeric hydrate precursors up to a threshold value. The slow accumulation of precursors is the rate-limiting step for the overall hydrate formation, and its conversion into hydrate particles is critical for the rapid, autocatalytic reaction. By applying this model, the memory effect for hydrate nucleation was studied by assigning varied initial amounts of precursor or hydrate species in the simulations. The presence of pre-existing precursors or hydrate particles could facilitate the nucleation stage with a reduced induction time, and without affecting hydrate growth. The computational model with the performed simulations provides insight into the reaction kinetics and nucleation mechanism of hydrate formation.

Platinum-carbonaceous catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation method and tested for catalytic oxidation of toluene as a volatile organic compound. The textural properties of the constructed catalysts were considered by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope and N2 adsorption–desorption analysis. The catalytic assessments showed that the best activity (>99%) and high stability and selectivity to CO2 (>99%) are related to platinum-supported carbon nanotube. The curves of the conversion and selectivity demonstrate that the performance of catalysts to eliminate the volatile organic compound and turn it into CO2 conforms to the following descending order: platinum-supported carbon nanotube >platinum-supported graphene >platinum-supported activated carbon >platinum-supported carbon nanofibre. The kinetic of toluene oxidation has been evaluated as a function of toluene and oxygen partial pressures in different temperatures. Two kinetic models (Power Law and Mars–van Krevelen mechanisms) were applied to the reaction and compared with the experimental data. Mars–van Krevelen model is more appropriate than the Power Law model for this reaction as Mars–van Krevelen model showed better prediction of the behaviour of the reaction.

A novel method for preparing Ni2P/Al2O3(L) catalysts in an N2 atmosphere by decomposition of hypophosphites was proposed, and Ni2P/Al2O3(T) catalyst was synthesized by the temperature programmed reduction method in a H2 atmosphere for comparison. These prepared catalysts were washed with deionized water to remove impurities. The X-ray diffraction, N2-adsorption specific surface area measurements, CO uptake, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were applied to characterize these catalysts. The activities of the Ni2P/Al2O3 catalysts prepared with the two different methods were tested in the dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization reaction.

A series of Ni–Fe/MCM-41 bimetallic catalysts and also Ni/MCM-41 and Fe/MCM-41 catalysts were prepared by the incipient-wetness impregnation method and tested for their activity for CO methanation in a continuous-flow microreactor. The results showed that the catalytic activities of the Ni–Fe/MCM-41 bimetallic catalysts were much higher than those of the Ni/MCM-41 and Fe/MCM-41 catalysts at low temperatures (200°C–325°C). The 10%Ni–5%Fe/MCM-41 catalyst showed the best activity with a CO conversion of almost 100% and a CH4 selectivity of 98% at 350°C under a pressure of 1.5 MPa with a 3:1 molar ratio of H2 to CO and a weight hourly space velocity of 12,000 mL h−1 g−1. The catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, and H2-temperature-programmed reduction. The results showed that the addition of Fe will lead to the formation of finer Ni particles and Ni–Fe alloy, which were the main reasons for the activity increase in the Ni–Fe/MCM-41 catalysts.

Theoretical investigations have been performed on the kinetics of bimolecular hydrogen-abstraction reactions of 1,3,5-trioxane and 1,4-dioxane cyclic ethers with OH radicals. Hydrogen abstraction from both axial and equatorial positions of 1,3,5-trioxane and 1,4-dioxane was considered. Optimization of the structures, and the calculation of energies, vibrational frequencies and moments of inertia for all the stationary points including reactants, hydrogen-bonded complexes, transition states and products were carried out using density functional theory at the M06-2X level together with the MG3S basis set. Single-point energy calculations on the optimized points were obtained at the CBS-QB3 level. The calculations show that the title reactions proceed through relatively strong hydrogen-bonded complexes due to the hydrogen bonding between the OH radicals and the oxygen atoms of the cyclic ethers. A two-transition state model (an inner tight transition state and an outer loose transition state) was employed to compute the hydrogen-abstraction rate coefficients. The rate coefficients were also computed using conventional transition state theory considering a tight transition state for the purpose of comparison. It was found that when the reactions proceed via inner transition states with relative energies higher than the reactants, the computed rate coefficients are underestimated by conventional transition state theory.

A series of magnetically separable catalysts based on Ru–Ni bimetallic compounds supported on Fe3O4 nanoparticles was prepared by the co-precipitation method. These catalysts were evaluated for diformyltricyclodecanes hydrogenation reactions, achieving 97% tricyclodecanedimethylol selectivity at 98% diformyltricyclodecanes conversion under mild conditions. The catalyst could be easily recovered by using the magnetic property of the iron oxide support. The catalysts were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and temperature-programmed reduction. These complementary characterization results suggested that the superior catalytic activity may be derived from the delicate synergy between Ru and Ni species.

La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3 catalysts were successfully prepared by two different methods of sulfate impregnation, and the physico-chemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, pyridine adsorption–infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. Catalytic activities were evaluated in a fixed-bed flow reactor using n-pentane isomerization as the probe reaction. Compared with catalyst La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-I, prepared by the traditional impregnation method, the catalyst La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-W, prepared by the incipient-wetness impregnation method, possessed higher pore volume, pore size, sulfur content, and stronger Brønsted acid sites. The catalytic activity for La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-W was maintained at around 56% within 3000 min with an isopentane selectivity of 88% which showed much greater stability than that of La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-I. This can be attributed to the fact that (1) the large pore size and pore volume of La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-W can largely suppress carbon deposition and (2) the more numerous and stronger Brønsted acid sites for La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-W guaranteed to provide enough acid sites for isomerization during the reaction process.

This can be attributed to the fact that (1) the large pore size and pore volume of La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-W can largely suppress carbon deposition and (2) the more numerous and stronger Brønsted acid sites for La–Ni–S2O82–/ZrO2–Al2O3-W guaranteed to provide enough acid sites for isomerization during the reaction process.","PeriodicalId":20859,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83128292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
