[PMID: 38950832 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Bio-oil derived from biomass fast pyrolysis can be upgraded to gasoline and diesel alternatives by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). Here, the novel nitrogen-doped carbon-alumina hybrid supported cobalt (Co/NCAn, n = 1, 2.5, 5) catalyst is established by a coagulation bath technique. The optimized Co/NCA2.5 catalyst presented 100 % conversion of guaiacol, high selectivity to cyclohexane (93.6 %), and extremely high deoxygenation degree (97.3 %), respectively. Therein, the formation of cyclohexanol was facilitated by stronger binding energy and greater charge transfer between Co and NC which was unraveled by density functional theory calculations. In addition, the appropriate amount of Lewis acid sites enhanced the cleavage of the C-O bond in cyclohexanol, finally resulting in a remarkable selectivity for cyclohexane. Finally, the Co/NCA2.5 catalyst also exhibited excellent selectivity (93.1 %) for high heating value hydrocarbon fuel in crude bio-oil HDO. This work provides a theoretical basis on N dopants collaborating alumina hybrid catalysts for efficient HDO reaction.

Abstract
Economic and environmentally friendly strategies are needed to promote the bifunctional catalytic removal of carbonyl sulfide (COS) by hydrolysis and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by oxidation. N doping is considered to be an effective strategy, but the essential and intrinsic role of N dopants in catalysts is still not well understood. Herein, the conjugation of urea and biochar during Cu/biochar annealing produced pyridine N, which increased the combined COS/H2S capacity of the catalyst from 260.7 to 374.8 mg·g-1 and enhanced the turnover frequency of H2S from 2.50 × 10-4 to 5.35 × 10-4 s-1. The nucleophilic nature of pyridine N enhances the moderate basic sites of the catalyst, enabling the attack of protons and strong H2O dissociation. Moreover, pyridine N also forms cavity sites that anchor CuO, improving Cu dispersion and generating more reactive oxygen species. By providing original insight into the pyridine N-induced bifunctional catalytic removal of COS/H2S in a slightly oxygenated and humid atmosphere, this study offers valuable guidance for further C═S and C-S bond-breaking in the degradation of sulfur-containing pollutants.

Abstract
In this study, nitrogen-doped modified activated carbons were synthesized for H2S removal from Zhuxi activated carbon and 4,4'-bipyridine as raw material and nitrogen source, respectively. The synthesis strategy was hydrothermal treatment and subsequent NH3 annealing, and the formation and conversion patterns of the different N configurations were investigated. When the annealing temperatures were 500 °C and 600 °C, N-5 account for the majority. As the annealing temperature increased, the proportion of N-6 gradually increased. After the temperature increased to 1000 °C, N-5 and N-6 were converted to N-Q to a certain degree, while the amount of nitrogen doping decreased significantly. The sample H160-0.2-800 exhibited excellent H2S removal with a high sulfur capacity of up to 206.89 mg/g, significantly higher than that of the original activated carbon ZX1200 (67.56 mg/g). The reason for this is that the micropores (Vmic = 0.5155 cm3/g) and specific surface area (SBET = 1369.5 m2/g) of the modified activated carbon are more developed than those of the original activated carbon. A high nitrogen content (3.14 wt%) and N-6 configuration proportion (73.56 %) are significant reasons for the excellent adsorption properties. The mechanism of the catalytic oxidation was investigated. The introduction of surface nitrogen-containing functional groups alkalizes the activated carbon surface, enhancing the adsorption and dissociation of H2S and O2 and facilitating the formation of sulfur radicals and elemental sulfur.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) plays a vital role in environmental protection and safety production. In this review, recent theoretical advances for catalytic conversion of H2 S are systemically summarized. Firstly, different mechanisms of catalytic conversion of H2 S are elucidated. Secondly, theoretical studies of catalytic conversion of H2 S on surfaces of metals, metal compounds, and single-atom catalysts (SACs) are systematically reviewed. In the meantime, various strategies which have been adopted to improve the catalytic performance of catalysts in the catalytic conversion of H2 S are also reviewed, mainly including facet morphology control, doped heteroatoms, metal deposition, and defective engineering. Finally, new directions of catalytic conversion of H2 S are proposed and potential strategies to further promote conversion of H2 S are also suggested: including SACs, double atom catalysts (DACs), single cluster catalysts (SCCs), frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), etc. The present comprehensive review can provide an insight for the future development of new catalysts for the catalytic conversion of H2 S.

Abstract
Manganese oxide (especially manganese dioxide [MnO2]) is an excellent catalytic material for SO2 removal in flue gas desulfurization. In this study, the effect of crystalline structure of MnO2 (α-MnO2, β-MnO2, γ-MnO2 and δ-MnO2) on their activity for SO2 oxidation was studied based on density functional theory with Hubbard U corrections (DFT + U). The calculated results showed that α-MnO2 has mild energy barriers of 0.69 eV and 0.46 eV, and β-MnO2 has poor redox performance on SO2 molecules, which has the highest energy barrier of 2.17 eV and the largest oxygen formation energy of 1.74 eV, making it difficult for the oxygen atom to remove from the surface lattice to form reactive sites. Thermodynamic calculations showed that α-MnO2 is suitable for SO2 oxidation for its low energy barriers, reaction energy close to zero in the first half, and relatively high spontaneity in the whole reaction. Experimental tests showed that α-MnO2 had the best catalytic oxidation effect, with the highest sulfur capacity (304.11 mg/g), but β-MnO2 had poor catalytic oxidation performance, with a sulfur capacity of 41.59 mg/g. This work studies the catalytic performance and mechanism of SO2 removal and proposes a strategy to improve the catalytic activity by phase structure.
