Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Heterogeneous catalysis is among the major solutions for cost-effective and sustainable industrial application and processing. The design and development of highly efficient and stable heterogeneous catalysts represent an emergent frontier for overcoming energy and environmental challenges. Many industrial petrochemical and oil refining processes are faced with new challenges that can be solved using heterogeneous catalysts.

This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent progress and advances in the field of heterogeneous catalysts based on aluminosilicates, including zeolites and mesoporous materials, MOFs, COFs, and PAFs for petrochemical synthesis and oil refining. This includes but is not limited to hydroprocessing (including hydrotreating, isomerization, reforming, etc.), sulfur removal, catalytic cracking, C-1 chemistry, alcohols, fatty acids, and valuable chemicals synthesis.

The hydrocracking reaction of a pyrolysis fuel oil fraction using in situ generated nano-sized NiWS-sulfide catalysts is studied. The obtained catalysts were defined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The features of catalytically active phase generation, as well as its structure and morphology were considered. The catalytic reactivity of in situ generated catalysts was evaluated using the hydrocracking reaction of pyrolysis fuel oil to obtain a light fraction to be used as a feedstock for benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) production. It was demonstrated that the temperature of 380 °C, pressure of 5 MPa, and catalyst-to-feedstock ratio of 4% provide for a target fraction (IPB −180 °C) yield of 44 wt %, and the BTX yield of reaching 15 wt %.

The current work describes an attempt to synthesize hybrid materials combining porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) and dendrimers and use them to obtain novel highly active and selective palladium catalysts. PAFs are carbon porous materials with rigid aromatic structure and high stability, and the dendrimers are macromolecules which can effectively stabilize metal nanoparticles and tune their activity in catalytic reactions. Two porous aromatic frameworks, PAF-20 and PAF-30, are modified step-by-step with diethanolamine and hydroxyl groups at the ends of which are replaced by new diethanolamine molecules. Then, palladium nanoparticles are applied to the synthesized materials. Properties of the obtained materials and catalysts are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, low temperature N2 adsorption and elemental analysis. The resulting catalysts are successfully applied as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes at very high (up to 90,000) substrate/Pd ratios.

Coupling of the pre-reforming and partial oxidation was considered for the conversion of liquefied petroleum gas to syngas for the feeding applications of solid oxide fuel cells. Compared with conventional two step steam reforming, it allows the amount of water required for the process, and therefore the energy needed for water evaporation, to be lowered; substitution of high-potential heat by lower ones; and substitution of expensive tubular steam reforming reactors by adiabatic ones. The supposed process is more productive due to the high reaction rate of partial oxidation. The obtained syngas contains only ca. 10 vol.% H2O and ca. 50 vol.% of H2 + CO, which is attractive for the feeding application of solid oxide fuel cells. Compared with direct partial oxidation of liquefied petroleum gas, the suggested scheme is more energy efficient and overcomes problems with coke formation and catalyst overheating. The proof-of-concept experiments were carried out. The granular Ni-Cr2O3-Al2O3 catalyst was shown to be effective for propane pre-reforming at 350–400 °C, H2O:C molar ratio of 1.0, and flow rate of 12,000 h−1. The composite Rh/Ce0.75Zr0.25O2-δ–ƞ-Al2O3/FeCrAl catalyst was shown to be active and stable under conditions of partial oxidation of methane-rich syngas after pre-reforming and provided a syngas (H2 + CO) productivity of 28 m3·Lcat−1·h−1 (standard temperature and pressure).

Novel bimetallic Pd-Mn/Al2O3 catalysts are designed by the decomposition of cyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (cymantrene) on reduced Pd/Al2O3 in an H2 atmosphere. The peculiarities of cymantrene decomposition on palladium and, thus, the formation of bimetallic Pd-Mn catalysts are studied. The catalysts are characterized by N2 adsorption, H2 pulse chemisorption, temperature-programmed desorption of hydrogen (TPD-H2), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The modified catalysts show the changed hydrogen chemisorption properties and the absence of weakly bonded hydrogen. Using an organomanganese precursor provides an uniform Mn distribution on the catalyst surface. Tested in hydrogenation of acetylene, the catalysts show both higher activity and selectivity to ethylene (20% higher) compared to the non-modified Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. The influence of the addition of Mn and temperature treatment on catalyst performance is studied. The optimal Mn content and treatment temperature are found. It is established that modification with Mn changes the route of acetylene hydrogenation from a consecutive scheme for Pd/Al2O3 to parallel one for the Pd-Mn samples. The reaction rate shows zero overall order by reagents for all tested catalysts. Full article

Bifunctional catalysts on the base of transition metal sulfides (CoMoS and NiWS) and platinum as noble metal were synthesized via wetness impregnation of freshly synthesized Al2O3-SAPO-11 composites, supported with favorable acidic properties. The physical-chemical properties of the prepared materials were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), low-temperature N2 adsorption and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR TEM) methods. Catalytic properties were studied in n-hexadecane isomerization using a fixed-bed flow reactor. The catalytic poisons tolerance of transition metal sulfides (TMS)- and Pt-catalysts has been studied for sulfur and nitrogen, with the amount of 10–100 ppm addition to feedstock. TMS-catalysts show good stability during sulfur-containing feedstock processing, whereas Pt-catalyst loses much of its isomerization activity. Nitrogen-containing compounds in the feedstock has a significant impact on the catalytic activity of both TMS and Pt-based catalysts. Full article

Mesoporous ruthenium catalysts (0.74–3.06 wt%) based on ordered Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (MCM-41) silica arrays on aluminosilicate halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), as well as HNT-based counterparts, were synthesized and tested in benzene hydrogenation. The structure of HNT core-shell silica composite-supported Ru catalysts were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR-H2). The textural characteristics were specified by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The catalytic evaluation of Ru nanoparticles supported on both the pristine HNTs and MCM-41/HNT composite in benzene hydrogenation was carried out in a Parr multiple reactor system with batch stirred reactors (autoclaves) at 80 °C, a hydrogen pressure of 3.0 MPa and a hydrogen/benzene molar ratio of 3.3. Due to its hierarchical structure and high specific surface area, the MCM-41/HNT composite provided the uniform distribution and stabilization of Ru nanoparticles (NPs) resulted in the higher specific activity and stability as compared with the HNT-based counterpart. The highest specific activity (5594 h−1) along with deep benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexane was achieved for the Ru/MCM-41/HNT catalyst with a low metal content. Full article
