Active Sites in the Dealuminated Beta Zeolite-Supported Cobalt Catalyst for Non-Oxidative Ethane Dehydrogenation

Dispersed metal species in siliceous zeolites have been actively studied for non-oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (NDE). Fundamental insights into the dynamics of metal species in zeolites under reaction conditions have rarely been explored. Herein, we report an atomic level understanding of the dynamics and activity of cobalt (Co) sites in dealuminated Beta zeolite (DeAl-BEA) for NDE during induction and reaction conditions with extensive characterization techniques such as diffuse reflectance UV–vis, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron, X-ray diffraction along with in situ Fourier transform infrared and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. For a catalyst with 0.5 mass % Co loading, tetrahedral Co 2+ mononuclear sites, di-coordinated to the zeolite framework and with two silanol groups in vicinity (i.e., (≡SiO) 2 Co(HO–Si≡) 2 ), form upon exposure to hydrogen during induction and persist through the NDE reaction. Increasing the Co loading to 3.0 mass % yielded Co sites with similar electronic and coordination structures but slightly elongated Co–O bonds. Upon cooling to room temperature, the Co sites persisted in the same coordination environment, though the disappearance of a feature in the Co K-edge near-edge region revealed changes in the active site’s electronic structure coinciding with modest shifts in bond lengths. The electronic structure and activity of (≡SiO) 2 Co(HO–Si≡) 2 sites were studied comparatively to a few other hypothetical Co 2+ coordination structures, using electronic structure calculations and microkinetic simulations. The simulations showed that NDE is controlled by β-hydride elimination following C–H bond activation and that Co-sites possessing flexibility because of neighboring silanol defects are more active. Interestingly, dinuclear Co–O–Co sites (i.e., (≡SiO)Co(HO–Si≡) 2 –O–(HO–Si≡) 2 Co(≡SiO)) were more active than the mononuclear (≡SiO) 2 Co(HO–Si≡) 2 sites because of favorable hydrogen bonding with the vicinal silanol groups. In conclusion, the present study bridges the gap between the knowledge acquired by ex-situ characterizations and the active sites under the reaction conditions in alkane dehydrogenation chemistry.

Kinetics and selectivity of methane oxidation on an IrO 2 (110) film

Undercoordinated, bridging O-atoms (O br ) are highly active as H-acceptors in alkane dehydrogenation on IrO 2 (110) surfaces but transform to HO br groups that are inactive toward hydrocarbons. The low C–H activity and high stability of the HO br groups cause the kinetics and product selectivity during CH 4 oxidation on IrO 2 (110) to depend sensitively on the availability of O br atoms prior to the onset of product desorption. From temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and kinetic simulations, we identified two O br -coverage regimes that distinguish the kinetics and product formation during CH 4 oxidation on IrO 2 (110). Under excess O br conditions, when the initial O br coverage is greater than that needed to oxidize all the CH 4 to CO 2 and HO br groups, complete CH 4 oxidation is dominant and produces CO 2 in a single TPRS peak between 450 and 500 K. However, under O br -limited conditions, nearly all the initial O br atoms are deactivated by conversion to HO br or abstracted after only a fraction of the initially adsorbed CH 4 oxidizes to CO 2 and CO below 500 K. Thereafter, some of the excess CH x groups abstract H and desorb as CH 4 above ~500 K while the remainder oxidize to CO 2 and CO at a rate that is controlled by the rate at which Obr atoms are regenerated from HObr during the formation of CH 4 and H 2 O products. We also show that chemisorbed O-atoms ('on-top O') on IrO 2 (110) enhance CO 2 production below 500 K by efficiently abstracting H from Obr atoms and thereby increasing the coverage of O br atoms available to completely oxidize CH x groups at low temperature. Furthermore, our results provide new insights for understanding factors which govern the kinetics and selectivity during CH 4 oxidation on IrO 2 (110) surfaces.

Simulated production of OH, HO 2 , CH 2 O, and CO 2 during dilute fuel oxidation can predict 1st-stage ignition delays

Chemical kinetics simulations are used to explore whether detailed measurements of relevant chemical species during the oxidation of very dilute fuels (less than 1 Torr partial pressure) in a high-pressure plug flow reactor (PFR) can predict autoignition propensity. We find that for many fuels the timescale for the onset of spontaneous oxidation in dilute fuel/air mixtures in a simple PFR is similar to the 1st-stage ignition delay time (IDT) at stoichiometric engine-relevant conditions. For those fuels that deviate from this simple trend, the deviation is closely related to the peak rate of production of OH, HO 2 , CH 2 O, and CO 2 formed during oxidation. We use these insights to show that an accurate correlation between simulated profiles of these species in a PFR and 1st-stage IDT can be developed using convolutional neural networks. Our simulations suggest that the accuracy of such a correlation is 10–50%, which is appropriate for rapid fuel screening and may be sufficient for predictive fuel performance modeling.

Results of a performance analysis of an airborne Doppler radar wind shear detection system are given in vugraph form. It was concluded that both CO sub 2 and Ho:YAG lasers are feasible for dry microburst applications, but with limited performance in wet microbursts. The Ho:YAG performs better than the CO sub 2 for a set of identical lidar parameters.

(abstract) Odd Hydrogen in the Atmospheres of Earth and Mars

The Martian atmosphere has many features in common with the terrestrial mesosphere. Both share similar pressure and temperature ranges, and much of the same chemistry operates in each. For example, the radical species H, OH, and H(sub 2)O, which comprise the odd hydrogen family, are of central importance in the catalytic destruction of CO and O(sub 3) in both atmospheres. The inclusion of recent chemical kinetics data, specifically temperature dependent CO(sub 2) absorption cross-sections, into our one dimensional photochemical model of the Martial atmosphere shows that oxidation of CO by odd hydrogen is too efficient. The incorporation of smaller cross sections for CO(sub 2) leads to an enhanced photolysis rate of water vapor, increasing odd hydrogen to the point where the predicted mixing ratio of CO in our model is substantially less than the observed value of 6.5 x 10(sup -4). Interestingly, most photochemical models of the terrestrial mesosphere underestimate the CO and O(sub 3) densities using currently accepted photodissociation and kinetic rate coefficients. This has also been attributed to an overabundance of odd hydrogen in the models. We shall show that agreement between models and observations of CO in the Martian atmosphere as well as of CO and O(sub 3) in the terrestrial mesosphere can be achieved by revising the rate constants for the reactions OH + HO(sub 2) and CO + OH within their published uncertainties. The fact that similar revisions alleviate discrepancies in both the terrestrial and Martian atmospheres warrants a re-evaluation of these key rate constants at the appropriate temperatures and pressures.

Fast Advective Water Flow through Nanochannels in Clay Interlayers: Implications for Moisture Transport in Soils and Unconventional Oil/Gas Production

Water flow in nanometer or sub-nanometer hydrophilic channels bears special importance in diverse fields of science and engineering. However, the nature of such water flow remains elusive. In this work, we report our molecular-modeling results on water flow in a sub-nanometer clay interlayer between two montmorillonite layers. We show that a fast advective flow can be induced by evaporation at one end of the interlayer channel, that is, a large suction pressure created by evaporation (~818 MPa) is able to drive the fast water flow through the channel (~0.88 m/s for a 46 Å-long channel). Scaled up for the pressure gradient to a 2 μm particle, the velocity of water is estimated to be about 95 μm/s, indicating that water can quickly flow through a μm-sized clay particle within seconds. The prediction seems to be confirmed by our thermogravimetric analysis of bentonite hydration and dehydration processes, which indicates that water transport at the early stage of the dehydration is a fast advective process, followed by a slow diffusion process. The possible occurrence of a fast advective water flow in clay interlayers prompts us to reassess water transport in a broad set of natural and engineered systems such as clay swelling/shrinking, moisture transport in soils, water uptake by plants, water imbibition/release in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, and cap rock integrity of supercritical CO 2 storage.

The hydroperoxyl radical in atmospheric chemical dynamics - Reaction with carbon monoxide.

Discussion of laboratory measurements which indicate that the reaction of the thermalized HO(2) radical with CO is exceedingly slow and that this reaction should not, therefore, be of any significance in atmospheric chemistry. The large discrepancy between the new results and data obtained earlier by Westenberg and de Haas (1972) is explained in terms of the reacting hydroperoxyl radical being in a non-Boltzmann distribution in the former study. It appears that the most important reactions of thermalized HO(2) in the atmosphere are those involving the trace gases of NO and sulfur dioxide.

Experimental Evidence of Dioxole Unimolecular Decay Pathway for Isoprene-Derived Criegee Intermediates

Ozonolysis of isoprene, one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere, generates two four-carbon unsaturated Criegee intermediates, methyl vinyl ketone oxide (MVK-oxide) and methacrolein oxide (MACR-oxide). The extended conjugation between the vinyl substituent and carbonyl oxide groups of these Criegee intermediates facilitates rapid electrocyclic ring closures that form 5-membered cyclic peroxides, known as dioxoles. This research discusses the first experimental evidence of this novel decay pathway, which is predicted to be the dominant atmospheric sink for specific conformational forms of MVK-oxide (anti) and MACR-oxide (syn) with the vinyl substituent adjacent to the terminal O atom. The resulting dioxoles are predicted to undergo rapid unimolecular decay to oxygenated hydrocarbon radical products, including acetyl, vinoxy, formyl, and 2-methyl-vinoxy radicals. In the presence of O 2 , these radicals rapidly react to form peroxy radicals (ROO), which quickly decay via carbon-centered radical intermediates (QOOH) to stable carbonyl products that are identified in this work. The carbonyl products are detected under thermal conditions (298 K, 10 torr He) using multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry (MPIMS). The main products (and associated relative abundances) originating from unimolecular decay of anti-MVK-oxide and subsequent reaction with O 2 are formaldehyde (88 ± 5%), ketene (9 ± 1%) and glyoxal (3 ± 1%). Those identified from the unimolecular decay of syn-MACR-oxide and subsequent reaction of O 2 are acetaldehyde (37 ± 7%), vinyl alcohol (9 ± 1%), methylketene (2 ± 1%), and acrolein (52 ± 5%). In addition to the stable carbonyl products, the secondary peroxy chemistry also generates OH or HO 2 radical co-products.
