Book Understanding the Effect of Modifying Elements in Supported Vanadia Bilayered Catalysts for Methanol Oxidation to Formaldehyde

Download or read book Understanding the Effect of Modifying Elements in Supported Vanadia Bilayered Catalysts for Methanol Oxidation to Formaldehyde written by William Collins Vining and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of heterogeneous catalysis has long been interested in understanding the role of site structure on reactivity and selectivity for the rational design of catalysts. Vanadia is of particular interest because of its potential to be highly active and selective for a variety of reactions, such as oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes to alkenes, or the oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride. When supported, vanadia can exist in several environments depending on its surface coverage. At the lowest loadings, below 2 V/nm2, the vanadium exists predominantly in well dispersed, tetrahedral structures with 3 V-O-support bonds and 1 V=O bond. At higher loadings, above 2 V/nm2, V-O-V bonds form on the surface, and at loadings above 7 V/nm2, the vanadia begins to form 3 dimensional domains of V2O5. Methanol oxidation rates over catalysts with varying vanadia loadings have shown no significant effect of the V surface density on the formaldehyde formation rate. However, significant differences in the formaldehyde production rates are observed for different supports. Changing the support from silica to titania or zirconia, will result in increases in the production of formaldehyde from methanol by over an order of magnitude for similar vanadia surface coverages. These differences in rate are observed even though the reaction mechanism is believed to be the same regardless of the support. The mechanism is thought to proceed as follows. First methanol dissociatively adsorbs across a V-O-support bond, producing V-OCH3 and M-OH (M = Si, Ti, Zr, Ce) in a quasi-equilibrated step. Next a surface oxygen abstracts hydrogen from the methoxy group in the rate determining step, and formaldehyde desorbs. The final steps are fast and involve the production of H2O from neighboring hydroxyls and the reoxidation of the catalyst by gas-phase oxygen. When vanadia is supported on bulk TiO2, ZrO2, or CeO2, the support surface area is relatively small (2̃00 m2/g at its highest), and the bulk support causes side reactions which make it difficult to understand the role of the vanadia. Furthermore, by using a bulk support, only the vanadia surface coverage can be varied, such that the effect of different V structures can be elucidated, but not that of V-O-M bonds. Therefore, high surface area silica with a variable coverage of two-dimensional TiO2, ZrO2, and CeO2 layers are used to support isolated vanadate structures to vary the quantity of vanadia bound to the modifying layer. These bilayered catalysts can be used to determine the effect of the V-O-support bonds on the formaldehyde production rate. Three mesoporous silica supports, MCM-48 (1550 m2/g), MCM-41 (1353 m2/g), and SBA-15 (700 m2/g) were used as the high surface area silica. Ti was grafted to the MCM-48 surface using Ti(OiPr)4 and a maximum surface coverage of 2.8 Ti/nm2 was obtained after 3 graftings. The grafting of zirconium was performed using Zr-2-methyl-2-butoxide on MCM-41, and a maximum loading of 2.1 Zr/nm2 was achieved after 3 graftings. The final modifying element, cerium, was grafted onto SBA-15 using Ce(OtBu)4 for a maximum surface coverage of 0.9 Ce nm-2. After treating the MOx/SiO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Ce) samples in air to remove any organic ligands, OV(OiPr)3 was grafted onto the MOx/SiO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Ce) support to achieve the desired V surface coverage of approx. 0.7 V/nm2. The resulting catalysts contain amorphous two-dimensional layers of TiO2, ZrO2, or CeO2 with V existing in a pseudo-tetrahedral structure on the surface. As the surface density of the modifying element layer increases, the quantity of vanadia bound to TiO2, ZrO2, or CeO2 increases. For the VOx/ZrO2/SiO2 catalysts, the fraction of vanadia bound to the zirconia layer was able to be quantified and determined to be 35% of all V for a Zr surface density of 2.8 Zr nm-2. Even for small quantities of modifying elements (0.2 M nm-2), the apparent rate constant for formaldehyde production on VOx/MO2/SiO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Ce) is an order of magnitude higher than for VOx/SiO2 catalysts at the same V surface density. Regardless of the modifying element used, the increase in apparent rate constant is comparable for all catalysts. As the modifying element surface density is increased, the apparent rate constant also increases, which is a result of an increasing fraction of V bound to the MOx layer. Each of these bilayered catalysts can be described using a two-site model of VOx/SiO2 and VOx/MO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Ce) with the latter being responsible for the increased apparent rate constant. This higher activity for the VOx/MO2 site is due to a lower apparent activation energy. For VOx/SiO2, the apparent activation energy is 23 kcal mol-1, but is approximately 17 kcal mol-1 for VOx/MO2 sites. The apparent activation energy can be expressed as the sum of the heat of methanol adsorption and the activation energy for H-abstraction. My results indicate that the lower apparent activation energy observed for the bilayered catalysts is a result of a decrease in the activation energy for H-abstraction. This lower energy pathway occurs because the MOx layer can abstract H from surface methoxy groups. For VOx/SiO2, however, the vanadyl oxygen abstracts H in a higher energy step.

Book A Model Catalyst Investigation of Mass selected Vanadium and Vanadium Oxide Clusters Deposited on a Titanium Dioxide  110   1x1  Surface

Download or read book A Model Catalyst Investigation of Mass selected Vanadium and Vanadium Oxide Clusters Deposited on a Titanium Dioxide 110 1x1 Surface written by Scott P. Price and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vanadium oxide particles supported on titania are known to catalyze a number of reactions, including the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. Although the catalytic activity of this system has been widely studied, several questions related to the exact compositions and structures of the active species remain unanswered. In an effort to gain a deeper fundamental understanding of these catalysts, we utilize a unique apparatus which allows us to deposit mass-selected Vx and VxOy clusters on single-crystal rutile TiO2(110)-(1x1) in ultra high vacuum.

Download or read book Alphaherpesviruses written by Sandra Knowles Weller and published by Caister Academic Press Limited. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alphaherpesviruses are a fascinating group of DNA viruses that includes important human pathogens such as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV): the causative agents of cold sores, genital ulcerous disease, and chickenpox/shingles, respectively. A key attribute of these viruses is their ability to establish lifelong latent infection in the peripheral nervous system of the host. Such persistence requires subversion of the host's immune system and intrinsic antiviral defense mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of the immune evasion and what triggers viral reactivation is a major challenge for today's researchers. This has prompted enormous research efforts into understanding the molecular and cellular biology of these viruses. This up-to-date and comprehensive volume aims to distill the most important research in this area providing a timely overview of the field. Topics covered include: transcriptional regulation, DNA replication, translational control, virus entry and capsid assembly, the role of microRNAs in infection and oncolytic vectors for cancer therapy. In addition there is coverage of virus-host interactions, including apoptosis, subversion of host protein quality control and DNA damage response pathways, autophagy, establishment and reactivation from latency, interferon responses, immunity and vaccine development. Essential reading for everyone working with alphaherpesviruses and of interest to all virologists working on latent infections.
