Halide-free carbonylation of methanol with H-MOR supported CuCeO

Chaoli Tong, Jiachang Zuo, Danlu Wen, Weikun Chen, Linmin Ye, Youzhu Yuan

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第5期页码 1075-1087 doi: 10.1007/s11705-020-2019-5

摘要： Heterogeneous halide-free carbonylation of methanol to acetates, including methyl acetate (MA) and acetic acid, using non-precious metal catalysts has been a topic of interest for decades. The key issue is that the water produced by methanol dehydration inhibits the formation of acetyl species and reduces the MA selectivity. Here, we report that CuCeO /H-mordenite (H-MOR) catalyst can nearly eliminate the inhibiting effect of water on carbonylation by a water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) on-site, and can thus achieve 96.5% methanol conversion with 87.4% MA selectivity for the halide-free carbonylation of methanol. The results of powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy show that the Cu and Ce species are highly dispersed on H-MOR even when the CuCeO contents are as high as 29 wt-%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and CO chemisorption analysis reveal that a small portion of Cu species can migrate into the channel of H-MOR when CuCeO /H-MOR is calcined at 500 °C and these Cu species are converted into Cu sites upon reduction. The Cu sites facilitate the WGSR and are also active sites for methanol carbonylation. The introduction of Ce benefits the inhibition of coke deposits and thus enhances the catalyst stability.

A density functional theory study on the mechanism of Dimethyl ether carbonylation over heteropolyacids

Kai Cai, Ying Li, Hongbao Shen, Zaizhe Cheng, Shouying Huang, Yue Wang, Xinbin Ma

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第2期页码 319-329 doi: 10.1007/s11705-020-1957-2

摘要： Dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation is considered as a key step for a promising route to produce ethanol from syngas. Heteropolyacids (HPAs) are proved to be efficient catalysts for DME carbonylation. In this work, the reaction mechanism of DME carbonylation was studied theoretically by using density functional theory calculations on two typical HPA models (HPW, HSiW). The whole process consists of three stages: DME dissociative adsorption, insertion of CO into methoxyl group and formation of product methyl acetate. The activation barriers of all possible elementary steps, especially two possible paths for CO insertion were calculated to obtain the most favorable reaction mechanism and rate-limiting step. Furthermore, the effect of the acid strength of Brønsted acid sites on reactivity was studied by comparing the activation barriers over HPW and HSiW with different acid strength, which was determined by calculating the deprotonation energy, Mulliken population analyses and adsorption energies of pyridine.

Enhanced CuCl dispersion by regulating acidity of MCM-41 for catalytic oxycarbonylation of ethanol to diethyl carbonate

Pengzhen CHEN, Shouying HUANG, Jijie ZHANG, Shengping WANG, Xinbin MA

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2015年第9卷第2期页码 224-231 doi: 10.1007/s11705-014-1447-5

摘要： CuCl supported on molecular sieves has attracted increasing attention in catalyzing oxidative carbonylation of ethanol to diethyl carbonate. Mesoporous MCM-41 has been widely used as catalyst support due to its large surface area and well defined mesoporous structure. Considering its intrinsic weak acidity, MCM-41 was modified by a simple impregnation method to incorporate Al. The incorporation of Al components resulted in the high dispersion of Cu species and the increase of acid sites without changing the mesoporous structure of MCM-41, and thus enhanceed the catalytic activity of CuCl/MCM-41for diethyl carbonate synthesis.
