Kalita A, Talukdar AK. Streamlined synthesis of iron and cobalt loaded MCM-48: High-performance heterogeneous catalysts for selective liquid-phase oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde. Heliyon 2024; 10:e27296. [PMID: 38510017 PMCID: PMC10950511 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Hydrothermal synthesis of MCM-48 molecular sieves featuring the incorporation of both iron and cobalt with Si/M ratios of 20, 40 and 80 (where M represents either iron or cobalt) was performed using tetraethyl orthosilicate as the silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a template. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the synthesized materials, these were thoroughly characterized using various techniques, including XRD, XPS, UV-Vis (DRS), FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, SEM with EDX, TEM, TGA and NH3-TPD analysis. XRD analysis revealed the presence of well-ordered MCM-48 structure in the metal-incorporated materials, while XPS and UV-Vis DRS confirmed the successful partial incorporation of metal ions precisely in their desired tetrahedral coordination within the framework. To assess their catalytic performance, we studied the activity and selectivity of these catalysts in liquid phase oxidation of toluene using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant. Under optimized conditions, employing a 6% (w/w) Fe-MCM-48 (40) catalyst and maintaining a toluene to oxidant molar ratio of 1:3 at 353 K in a solvent-free environment for 8 h, the oxidation reaction resulted in the formation of benzaldehyde (88.1%) as the major product and benzyl alcohol (11.9%) as the minor product.

Controlling the Fe 2O 3-SiO 2 interaction: The effect on the H 2S selective catalytic oxidation and catalyst deactivation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 215:114354. [PMID: 36126690 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Biogas utilization is one of the most promising options for reducing the consumption of fossil fuels for energy production, but the presence of H2S represents a serious industrial and environmental problem. In this work, two different synthesis methods (sol-gel and incipient wetness impregnation) were used to synthesize iron oxide supported on silica catalysts (Fe2O3/SiO2) with metal loadings ranging from 0.5 to 10 %wt. The catalysts were tested for the selective oxidation of H2S, changing the operating conditions like O2/H2S (0.5-2.5), temperature (170-250°C), and water content (0-50%). The optimum condition was O2/H2S = 0.5 and no water at 230 °C with the conversion of approximately 100%, the selectivity of 97%, and the deactivation of 0.6%. A detailed characterization of the fresh and spent catalysts' surface revealed the presence of four deactivation mechanisms: metal surface reduction, oxygen vacancy loss, pore plugging, and sintering. Among the observed deactivation mechanisms, the sintering showed the highest impact on catalytic activity and deactivation. The sol-gel catalysts (SG) showed the highest metal-oxide/support interaction, which reduced the metal-oxide nanoparticles sintering compared with the incipient wetness impregnation method (IWI), reporting a lower sintering, higher activity, and selectivity, lower deactivation rates and lower sensitivity to the operating conditions. A catalytic cycle representing the possible surface intermediate states of the catalyst is proposed based on the performance and characterization results obtained.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Fe(CO)5 was deposited on SBA-15 from gaseous phase and the adsorbed iron precursor was oxidized and hydrolyzed. We hypothesize that a novel method produces composites of unique and useful properties. The absence of sulfur and halides in the composites is of special importance with respect of their potential application as catalysts and catalyst supports. EXPERIMENTS We obtained composites containing 1.3-157.5% of iron oxide with respect to silica (counted as 100%). The new materials were characterized by specific surface area, XRD (X-ray diffraction), Mossbauer spectroscopy, electron microscopy coupled with EDS (energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy), and microelectrophoresis. FINDINGS In the composites low in iron (<57% of iron oxide) the Mossbauer spectra showed only doublets, which were interpreted as tiny nanoparticles of Fe(III) oxide in the pores of SBA-15. In the composites high in iron (>65%) the Mossbauer spectra showed doublets and sextets. The later were interpreted as larger nanocrystals of hematite, and the presence of such nanocrystals was confirmed by XRD. EDS confirmed that in the composites low in iron, iron oxide was evenly distributed in the entire volume of pores of SBA-15.

Abstract
Recalcitrant sulfur compounds are common impurities in crude oil. During combustion they produce SOx derivatives that are able to affect the atmospheric ozone layer, increasing the formation of acid rains, and reducing the life of the engine due to corrosion. In the last twenty years, many efforts have been devoted to develop conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) procedures, as well as alternative methods, such as selective adsorption, bio-desulfurization, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) under extractive conditions (ECODS), and others. Among them, the oxidative procedures have been usually accomplished by the use of toxic stoichiometric oxidants, namely potassium permanganate, sodium bromate and carboxylic and sulfonic peracids. As an alternative, increasing interest is devoted to selective and economical procedures based upon catalytic methods. Heterogeneous catalysis is of relevance in industrial ODS processes, since it reduces the leaching of active species and favors the recovery and reuse of the catalyst for successive transformations. The heterogenization of different types of high-valent metal transition-based organometallic complexes, able to promote the activation of stoichiometric benign oxidants like peroxides, can be achieved using various solid supports. Many successful cases have been frequently associated with the use of mesoporous silicas that have the advantage of easy surface modification by reaction with organosilanes, facilitating the immobilization of homogeneous catalysts. In this manuscript the application of SBA-15 as efficient support for different active metal species, able to promote the catalytic ODS of either model or real fuels is reviewed, highlighting its beneficial properties such as high surface area, narrow pore size distribution and tunable pore diameter dimensions. Related to this topic, the most relevant advances recently published, will be discussed and critically described.
