Book Catalytic and Process Study of the Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene and 1 3 Butadiene

Download or read book Catalytic and Process Study of the Selective Hydrogenation of Acetylene and 1 3 Butadiene written by Ruijun Hou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis offers novel methods for catalyst and process design for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene and 1,3-butadiene. The author predicts the properties of supported Pd–Ni bimetallic catalysts using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). The excellent correlation between model surfaces and supported catalysts demonstrates the feasibility of designing effective bimetallic catalysts for selective hydrogenation reactions. The author also proposes a method for designing non-precious metal catalysts to replace precious metals. She modifies the process of selective hydrogenation of acetylene by coupling the selective adsorption to the selective hydrogenation in the liquid phase, as a result of which the ethylene selectivity is greatly improved and heat transfer is greatly enhanced. Lastly, by analyzing the mechanism of liquid-phase hydrogenation, the author proposes a multi-stage slurry bed reactor for industrial applications.“/p>

Book Computational Insight Into Catalytic Hydrogenation of Nitrogen and Carbon Monoxide

Download or read book Computational Insight Into Catalytic Hydrogenation of Nitrogen and Carbon Monoxide written by Andrew J. Medford and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational modeling is becoming an increasingly important tool in the design of heterogeneous catalysts. This thesis explores recent advances in the atomic-scale computational design of catalytic materials. Nitrogen hydrogenation is used to illustrate the core concepts in part I, and these concepts are applied to a wide range of carbon monoxide hydrogenation reactions in part II. Nitrogen hydrogenation, or ammonia synthesis, is one of the most important catalytic processes ever discovered. Industrial-scale ammonia synthesis enabled the mass production of fertilizers which are now used to produce approximately half of the global food supply. Ammonia synthesis is also a well-studied and relatively simple catalytic reaction, and has served as a bellwether reaction for computation in heterogeneous catalysis. Part I of this thesis revisits the ammonia synthesis reaction. Chapter 2 discusses the importance of ammonia synthesis and heterogeneous catalysis in general. Chapter 3 introduces density functional theory (DFT), the workhorse method in quantum-mechanical studies of catalytic materials. Chapter 4 examines how DFT energies can be combined with kinetic modeling in order to gain insight into catalytic trends and design strategies for ammonia synthesis. Chapter 5 applies a novel method for uncertainty quantification and error propagation in order to demonstrate the robustness of the computational catalyst design against uncertainty in the DFT calculations. Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide (CO) is a complex process with many potentially valuable products including methane, methanol, and higher hydrocarbons and alcohols. These reactions will play an increasingly important role in the global economy as fossil resources are exhausted and replaced by more sustainable synthetic fuels. Part II of the thesis applies many of the concepts introduced in part I to CO hydrogenation reactions. Chapter 6 examines the production of ethanol from synthesis gas (CO and H2) and applies the techniques of chapter 4 in order to map the activity and selectivity trends across transition-metal (211) surfaces. Several alloys are identified as promising catalysts for selective ethanol synthesis, including CoCu and CoPt alloys. Chapter 7 combines computational methods and experiments to provide insight into the complex selectivity patterns of CO hydrogenation over rhodium catalysts, indicating that the reaction is structure sensitive and that rhodium catalysts are intrinsically selective toward acetaldehyde rather than ethanol. Chapter 8 and chapter 9 examine CO hydrogenation over non-metallic catalysts (Mo2C and ZnO), revealing the importance of surface termination and the fundamentally different surface reactivity of transition-metal compounds.

Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Download or read book Homogeneous Hydrogenation written by P.A. Chaloner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homogeneous hydrogenation is one of the most thoroughly studied fields of homogeneous catalysis. The results of these studies have proved to be most important for an understanding of the underlying principles of the activation of small molecules by transition metal complexes. During the past three decades homogeneous hydrogenation has found widespread application in organic chemistry, including the production of important pharmaceuticals, especially where a sophisticated degree of selectivity is required. This volume presents a general account of the main principles and applications of homogeneous hydrogenation by transition metal complexes. Special attention is devoted to the mechanisms by which these processes occur, and the role of the recently discovered complexes of molecular hydrogen is described. Sources of hydrogen, other than H2, are also considered (transfer hydrogenation). The latest achievements in highly stereoselective hydrogenations have made possible many new applications in organic synthesis. These applications are documented by giving details of the reduction of important unsaturated substrates (alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes and ketones, nitrocompounds, etc.). Hydrogenation in biphasic and phase transfer catalyzed systems is also described. Finally, a discussion of the biochemical routes of H2 activation highlights the similarities and differences in performing hydrogenation in both natural and synthetic systems. For researchers working in the fields of homogeneous catalysis, especially in areas such as pharmaceuticals, plastics and fine chemicals.
