Book Investigation of M1 Phase Molybdenum Based Mixed Metal Oxide Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Propane

Download or read book Investigation of M1 Phase Molybdenum Based Mixed Metal Oxide Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Propane written by Xin Li and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acrylic acid and acrylonitrile are important intermediates for producing a number of common chemicals and materials used in paints, adhesives, plastics, fibers, etc. Traditionally, their production has relied on propylene feedstocks, and replacing propylene with the cheaper and more abundant propane as the raw material has attracted a lot of research interest during the past two decades. Several promising catalysts have been discovered, and to date, Mo-V-Nb-Te-O mixed metal oxides are the most efficient for both propane oxidation to acrylic acid and ammoxidation to acrylonitrile. Two orthorhombic phases named M1 and M2 have been identified as the major components, and M1 is generally considered the key factor for propane activation. In particular, the [001] face of the M1 structure has been proposed to provide active centers and the valence distribution on [001] face is believed to play an important role in determining the reaction mechanism. However, the detailed mechanism is not fully understood. This has limited opportunities to further improve catalysts performance or design better catalysts by rational means. This absence can be related to the past failure of generating M1 phase alone in synthesis, and many catalysts studied previously were actually mixtures. Thus, in this work, we carried out investigations of the highly pure M1 catalyst focusing on the synthesis, catalytic behavior, and structural model development. The hydrothermal method has been shown to yield M1 phase with high purity at the expense of a more complicated procedure. The simple slurry method was used by us to synthesize catalyst samples. It is found that, besides M1 and M2, tellurium molybdate TeMo 5 O 16, V-substituted Mo 5 O 14 or (V, Mo) 5 O 14, and Mosubstituted V 2 O 5 or (Mo, V) 2 O 5 are also often formed together. The final phase composition can be significantly affected by nominal metal composition, slurry pH, calcination heating rate, etc. And the relative amount of each phase under different conditions can be directly correlated with respective V/Mo and Te/Mo ratios. Further, an additional purification step where the sample mixture is washed by H 2 O 2 solution was studied, and it is observed that concentrated hydrogen peroxide offers the most effective removal of undesired phases. A complete procedure for obtaining M1 phase in high purity has been developed. Synthesized M1 catalysts were characterized by EDS and XPS, and results suggest that the M1 structure shows high chemical flexibility and can contain vanadium to quite different levels depending on the nominal metal stoichiometry in the slurry. In particular, it is seen that the more vanadium in the slurry, the more vanadium in the final M1 structure. Additionally, no significant difference between the surface and the bulk was observed with respect to metal composition.

Book Surface Termination of M1 Phase and Rational Design of Propane Ammoxidation Catalysts

Download or read book Surface Termination of M1 Phase and Rational Design of Propane Ammoxidation Catalysts written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final report describes major accomplishments in this research project which has demonstrated that the M1 phase is the only crystalline phase required for propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile and that a surface monolayer terminating the ab planes of the M1 phase is responsible for their activity and selectivity in this reaction. Fundamental studies of the topmost surface chemistry and mechanism of propane ammoxidation over the Mo-V-(Te,Sb)-(Nb,Ta)-O M1 and M2 phases resulted in the development of quantitative understanding of the surface molecular structure – reactivity relationships for this unique catalytic system. These oxides possess unique catalytic properties among mixed metal oxides, because they selectively catalyze three alkane transformation reactions, namely propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile, propane oxidation to acrylic acid and ethane oxidative dehydrogenation, all of considerable economic significance. Therefore, the larger goal of this research was to expand this catalysis to other alkanes of commercial interest, and more broadly, demonstrate successful approaches to rational design of improved catalysts that can be applied to other selective (amm)oxidation processes.

Book Computational Materials  Chemistry  and Biochemistry  From Bold Initiatives to the Last Mile

Download or read book Computational Materials Chemistry and Biochemistry From Bold Initiatives to the Last Mile written by Sadasivan Shankar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 1344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad and nuanced overview of the achievements and legacy of Professor William (“Bill”) Goddard in the field of computational materials and molecular science. Leading researchers from around the globe discuss Goddard’s work and its lasting impacts, which can be seen in today’s cutting-edge chemistry, materials science, and biology techniques. Each section of the book closes with an outline of the prospects for future developments. In the course of a career spanning more than 50 years, Goddard’s seminal work has led to dramatic advances in a diverse range of science and engineering fields. Presenting scientific essays and reflections by students, postdoctoral associates, collaborators and colleagues, the book describes the contributions of one of the world’s greatest materials and molecular scientists in the context of theory, experimentation, and applications, and examines his legacy in each area, from conceptualization (the first mile) to developments and extensions aimed at applications, and lastly to de novo design (the last mile). Goddard’s passion for science, his insights, and his ability to actively engage with his collaborators in bold initiatives is a model for us all. As he enters his second half-century of scientific research and education, this book inspires future generations of students and researchers to employ and extend these powerful techniques and insights to tackle today’s critical problems in biology, chemistry, and materials. Examples highlighted in the book include new materials for photocatalysts to convert water and CO2 into fuels, novel catalysts for the highly selective and active catalysis of alkanes to valuable organics, simulating the chemistry in film growth to develop two-dimensional functional films, and predicting ligand–protein binding and activation to enable the design of targeted drugs with minimal side effects.
