Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to introduce the basic concepts involved in industrial catalytic processes. It is profusely illustrated with experimental results with the main objective of guiding how to select a suitable catalyst for specific processes. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part the basic concepts are addressed, regarding the existing theories, activity patterns and adsorption-desorption phenomena. In the second part the key experimental methods for the physicochemical characterization of catalysts are presented, as well as the currently used catalyst pre and post treatments. The last chapter describes some important in situ characterization techniques (e.g. XPS and TEM) and surface model patterns related to surface modifications occurring during the reaction. Thoroughly illustrated with microscopy images, spectroscopy data and schematics of reaction mechanisms, the book provides a powerful learning tool for students in undergraduate and graduate level courses on the field of catalysis. Exercises and resolved problems are provided, as well as experimental procedures to support laboratory classes. Furthermore, the content is presented in a carefully chosen sequence, reflecting the 30 year teaching experience of the author. The author, Professor Martin Schmal, sees the present book as a way of conveying basic knowledge needed for the development of more efficient catalysts (i.e. nanostructured materials) and novel industrial chemical processes in the fields of environmental chemistry, fine chemistry, hydrotreating of heavy oils, hydrogen production and biomass processing.

Book Metalorganic Catalysts for Synthesis and Polymerization

Download or read book Metalorganic Catalysts for Synthesis and Polymerization written by Walter Kaminsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 45 years after the discovery of transition metals and organometallics as cocatalysts for the polymerization of olefins and for organic synthesis, these compounds have not lost their fascination. The birthday of Karl Ziegler, the great pioneer in this metalorganic catalysis, is now 100 years ago. Polyolefins and polydienes produced by Ziegler-Natta catalysis are the most important plastics and elastomers. New impulses for the polymerization of olefins have been brought about by highly active metallocenes and other single site catalysts. Just by changing the ligands of the organometallic compounds, the structure of the polymers produced can be tailored in a wide manner. In invited lectures and posters, relevant aspects of the metalorganic catalysts for synthesis and polymerization are discussed in this book. This includes mechanism and kinetics, stereochemistry, material properties, and industrial applications.

Book Kinetic Investigation of Different Supported Catalysts for the Polymerization of Propylene Under Industrially Relevant Conditions

Download or read book Kinetic Investigation of Different Supported Catalysts for the Polymerization of Propylene Under Industrially Relevant Conditions written by Joana Kettner and published by Cuvillier. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scope of the work is the kinetic investigation of two fourth generation Ziegler-Natta catalysts as well as a supported metallocene catalyst for the polymerization of propylene under industrially relevant conditions and the development of simplified phenomenological kinetic models describing the polymerizations. Therein, the influence of different reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, hydrogen concentration) and, in particular, the effect of prepolymerization on catalyst kinetics as well as on polymer characteristics are studied. The Ziegler-Natta catalysts were investigated under gas-phase conditions in a 5 l horizontal stirred tank reactor operating in semi-batch mode. Both catalysts showed a similar kinetic behavior as well as hydrogen response at the different reaction conditions. Applying a prepolymerization led to an increase in activity at higher reaction temperatures as well as an improved polymer morphology. The impact of prepolymerization is catalyst specific and depends on the catalyst activity reached at main polymerization temperature. The supported metallocene catalyst was studied under bulk conditions in liquid propylene using a special 250 ml reaction calorimeter. A focus was set on procedure development (in-situ and external prepolymerization) with the target of defined prepolymerization conditions and early access to the kinetic profile. Final kinetic measurements were carried out using the developed external prepolymerization procedure. Based on the experimental studies, simplified phenomenological kinetic models are developed for each catalyst type enabling the quantitative description of the polymerization reactions at the different reaction conditions including the effect of prepolymerization. Main hypothesis for the mathematical description of the prepolymerization effect is that particle overheating at the beginning of the polymerization is the major reason for lower activities obtained when no prepolymerization is applied. For particle

Book Metal Catalysts in Olefin Polymerization

Download or read book Metal Catalysts in Olefin Polymerization written by Zhibin Guan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyolefin is a major industry that is important for our economy and impacts every aspect of our lives. The discovery of new transition metal-based catalysts is one of the driving forces for the further advancement of this field. Whereas the classical heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts and homogeneous early transition metal metallocene catalysts remain the workhorses of the polyolefin industry, in roughly the last decade, tremendous progress has been made in developing non-metallocene-based olefin polymerization catalysts. Particularly, the discovery of late transition metal-based olefin polymerization catalysts heralds a new era for this field. These late transition metal complexes not only exhibit high activities rivaling their early metal counterparts, but more importantly they offer unique properties for polymer architectural control and copolymerization with polar olefins. In this book, the most recent major breakthroughs in the development of new olefin polymerization catalysts, including early metal metallocene and non-metallocene complexes and late transition metal complexes, are discussed by leading experts. The authors highlight the most important discoveries in catalysts and their applications in designing new polyolefin-based functional materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past 30 years, the field of alkene polymerization over transition metal catalysts underwent several major changes: 1. The list of commercial heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts for the synthesis of polyethylene and stereoregular polyolefins was completely renewed affording an unprecedented degree of control over the polymer structure. 2. Research devoted to metallocene and other soluble transition-metal catalysis has vastly expanded and has shifted toward complexes of transition metals with multidentate ligands. 3. Recent developments in gel permeation chromatography, temperature-rising fractionation, and crystallization fractionation provided the first reliable information about differences between various active centers in transition-metal catalysts. 4. A rapid development of high-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy resulted in greatly expanded understanding of the chemical and steric features of polyolefins and alkene copolymers. These developments require a new review of all aspects of alkene polymerization reactions with transition-metal catalysts.
