    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods for selectively hydrogenating acetylene, to methods for starting up a selective hydrogenation reactor, and to hydrogenation catalysts useful in such methods. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method for selectively hydrogenating acetylene, the method comprising contacting a catalyst composition with a process gas. The catalyst composition comprises a porous support, palladium, and one or more ionic liquids. The process gas includes ethylene, present in the process gas in an amount of at least 20 mol. %; and acetylene, present in the process gas in an amount of at least 1 ppm. At least 90% of the acetylene present in the process gas is hydrogenated, and the selective hydrogenation is conducted without thermal runaway. Notably, the process gas is contacted with the catalyst at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) based on total catalyst volume in one bed or multiple beds of at least 7,100 h−1.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a monometallic or bimetallic nanoparticle-supported catalyst. The synthesis of metal nanoparticles with different shapes, sizes, and atomic structures is affected by nucleation and growth rates. In the present disclosure, by changing a ratio of strong and weak reducing agents, a suitable double reducing agent is provided for metal nanoparticles with different reduction potentials, where the strong reducing agent is used for rapid nucleation and the weak reducing agent is used for the growth of metal nanoparticles. Accordingly, modulation and control of the nucleation and growth rates can be realized during the synthesis of nanoparticles. In addition, through multiple actions of a combination of reducing agents with different reduction intensities, monometallic/bimetallic nanoparticles of different sizes, shapes, and atomic structures are controllably prepared, which are then supported with a carrier to obtain the monometallic or bimetallic nanoparticle-supported catalyst.

    摘要: A hydrophobic palladium/metal organic framework (MOF) material, which is a solid catalyst material obtained by taking a porous MOF as a carrier, introducing elementary palladium by means of an immersion-reduction method, and performing polydimethylsiloxane coating layer processing. A method which uses hydrophobic palladium/MOF material to selectively catalyze hexoses to prepare 2,5-dimethylfuran comprises: dissolving a hexose into an alcohol; using the hydrophobic palladium/MOF material as a catalyst and polymethylhydrosiloxane as a hydrogen donor, reacting at 70 to 130° C. for 0.25 to 12 h under the action of an acidic additive; the concentration of the hexose in the alcohol is 0.2 to 10 wt %, and the total amount of Pd contained in the hydrophobic palladium/MOF material relative to a hexose is 0.1 to 5 mol %. The hydrophobic palladium/MOF material has a stable structure, and under the same conditions, has a catalyzing efficiency which is significantly higher than that of commercially available palladium on carbon and common palladium/MOF materials.

    摘要: A solid-supported Pd catalyst is suitable for C—C bond formation, e.g., via Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions, with a support that is reusable, cost-efficient, regioselective, and naturally available. Such catalysts may contain Pd nanoparticles on jute plant sticks (GS), i.e., Pd@GS, and may be formed by reducing, e.g., K2PdCl4 with NaBH4 in water, and then used this as a “dip catalyst.” The dip catalyst can catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross coupling-reactions in water. The catalysts may have a homogeneous distribution of Pd nanoparticles with average dimensions, e.g., within a range of 7 to 10 nm on the solid support. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions may achieve conversions of, e.g., 97% with TOFs around 4692 h−1, Mizoroki-Heck reactions with conversions of, e.g., a 98% and TOFs of 237 h−1, while the same catalyst sample may be used for 7 consecutive cycles, i.e., without addition of any fresh catalyst.
