Effects of Composition and Structure on the Activity of Heterogeneous Molybdenum Catalysts


Book Description

This dissertation investigates the use of heterogeneous molybdenum catalysts for use in water-gas shift (WGS) and methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) chemistry. The WGS reaction, CO + H2O & lrarr2; H2 + CO2, is catalyzed by unsupported molybdenum carbide (Mo2C). The MDA reaction, 6 CH4 & lrarr2; C6H6 + 9 H2, is catalyzed by a zeolite-supported molybdenum catalyst, Mo/HZSM-5. Both reactions involve Mo2C, hydrogen production, and are industrially relevant.




Preparation of Catalysts VII


Book Description

The proceedings of the VIIth International Symposium on the Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts, are in line with the general scope of this series of events. Emphasis in all Symposia has been on the scientific aspects of the preparation of new and industrial catalysts, or on new methods of preparation, rather than on the catalytic reactions in which such solids are ultimately used. In the present context, the catalytic event itself has only been considered as another, though often decisive, method of catalyst characterization.




Molybdenum Oxide & Mesoporous Silica Metathesis Catalysts


Book Description

Alkene metathesis attracted recently much attention, especially with the 2005 Nobel prize awarded for the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis. Supported molybdenum oxide catalysts are widely used in industrial petrochemical processes, including metathesis (e.g. Phillips triolefin process, Shell higher olefin process). The present work discloses new type of metathesis catalysts based on molybdenum oxide supported on mesoporous silica. The key idea is to improve the activity of molybdenum oxide catalyst in this reaction utilizing high surface area and narrow pore size distribution of the support material. For the preparation of the catalysts, innovative and environmentally friendly thermal spreading method was employed. The thorough characterization of the catalysts by physicochemical techniques is described. The analysis of activity/selectivity vs. composition/structure relationships should help shed some light on this new and exciting field of heterogeneous catalysis, and should be especially useful to professionals in metathesis chemistry, or anyone else who may be considering utilizing molybdenum oxide catalysts for another catalytic reaction.

Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts


Book Description

It has become a tradition that every four years, the Université Catholique de Louvain and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven jointly organize a symposium devoted to the scientific bases for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts. These meetings bring together researchers from academia and industry and offer a forum for discussions on the chemistry involved in the preparation of industrial heterogeneous catalysts. This volume containing the Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts consists of papers summarizing most of the 139 oral communications and posters selected by the international scientific committee, composed of 27 experts in the field of catalyst preparation, holding an industrial or academia appointment.The contributions focus on the aspects of catalyst preparation. The main topics are: new approaches in catalyst preparation; advanced preparations of nanoporous and mesoporous catalysts; catalysts preparation for special performances and purposes; catalysts for environmental purposes; and molecular catalysis. Emphasis is put on the role that catalysis can play as an essential element of sustainable development.




Relative Activity of Impregnated and Mixed Molybdenum Catalysts for Coal Hydrogenation


Book Description

Experimental data for coal hydrogenation are presented to show that when a vehicle oil produced from coal is present, coal is hydrogenated to the same conversion whether molybdenum catalyst is impregnated on the coal or intimately mixed with the slurry. Differences in product distribution could be related to the severity of operating conditions. No minimum mixing time was established, but 2 hours was sufficient. Longer periods of mixing, to 14.75 hours, had no effect on the results. The hydrogenation conditions were in the pressure range of 8,500 to 10,000 p.s.i. at 400° to 500° C. Most of the experiments were made in duplicate.
