The activity and stability of CeO₂@CaO catalysts for the production of biodiesel.

ABSTRACT: A novel CeO₂@CaO catalyst was prepared via a hydrothermal method. The physicochemical properties and morphologies of the prepared CeO₂@CaO catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ physisorption, CO₂ temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. It was found that the prepared CeO₂@CaO catalyst had a distinct core-shell structure. The catalytic activity of the CeO₂@CaO sample as a heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification of soybean oil to produce biodiesel has been studied. The results showed that the optimum yield of biodiesel can reach 98% over the CeO₂@CaO-60 catalyst under the reaction conditions of 3 wt% catalyst, methanol to oil molar ratio of 6 : 1, reaction temperature of 70 °C and reaction time of 6 h. Stability tests indicated that the biodiesel yield can reach more than 80% even after 9 reaction cycles due to the strong synergic interaction between CaO and CeO₂.

Data on CaO and eggshell catalysts used for biodiesel production.

Project description:This research investigated the production of biodiesel from soybean oil (transesterification process) using pure calcium oxide and calcium oxide obtained from eggshell as heterogeneous catalysts. Uncalcined eggshell and calcined eggshell catalysts produced were analysed using XRF and XRD spectrometers. The processing parameters considered during the transesterification of the soybean were methanol/oil mole ratio, catalyst concentration and reaction time and their effects on biodiesel yield were evaluated. Reaction temperature of 60 °C and stirring rate of 450 rpm (revolution per minute) were kept constant. As a result of calcination, XRF analysis revealed an increase in CaO percentage composition of eggshell catalyst from 96% to 97%. Also, the biodiesel yields obtained revealed similar performance patterns for both the calcined eggshell catalyst and the pure CaO catalyst.

Biodiesel Production Using K-Sr/CaO and CaO Catalysts Derived from Eggshells by Canola Oil Transesterification.

Project description:Eggshell calcination at 900 °C was used to produce CaO, which was afterward impregnated with K and Sr using KNO3 and SrCl2·6H2O precursors, diluted in methanol, to improve basicity, stability, and catalytic activity. The CaO doping with K-Sr affected the final catalyst's textural properties, alkalinity, and basic strength due to the K+ and Sr2+ size and incorporation into the CaO lattice. SEM images with elemental mapping showed a uniform K+ and Sr2+ distribution for the K-Sr/CaO catalyst. However, carbonization modified the basic strength and the number of catalytic sites. The fresh K-Sr/CaO and CaO catalysts presented 92.5% and 46% biodiesel yields, respectively. In the third reaction cycle, the biodiesel yield dropped to approximately 72% and 21%, respectively. In this sense, the method of doping CaO with K and Sr increased the basic strength and number of basic sites for the K-Sr/CaO catalyst, providing higher resistance to leaching compared to the CaO catalyst. Finally, the enhanced conditions were 7.0 wt % catalyst loading, a 12.5:1 methanol/oil molar ratio, 70 °C, and a 1 h reaction time.

Self- regeneration of Au/CeO2 based catalysts with enhanced activity and ultra-stability for acetylene hydrochlorination.

Project description:Replacement of Hg with non-toxic Au based catalysts for industrial hydrochlorination of acetylene to vinyl chloride is urgently required. However Au catalysts suffer from progressive deactivation caused by auto-reduction of Au(I) and Au(III) active sites and irreversible aggregation of Au(0) inactive sites. Here we show from synchrotron X-ray absorption, STEM imaging and DFT modelling that the availability of ceria(110) surface renders Au(0)/Au(I) as active pairs. Thus, Au(0) is directly involved in the catalysis. Owing to the strong mediating properties of Ce(IV)/Ce(III) with one electron complementary redox coupling reactions, the ceria promotion to Au catalysts gives enhanced activity and stability. Total pre-reduction of Au species to inactive Au nanoparticles of Au/CeO2&AC when placed in a C2H2/HCl stream can also rapidly rejuvenate. This is dramatically achieved by re-dispersing the Au particles to Au(0) atoms and oxidising to Au(I) entities, whereas Au/AC does not recover from the deactivation.

Metal-organic frameworks-derived CaO/ZnO composites as stable catalysts for biodiesel production from soybean oil at room temperature.

Project description:Biodiesel presents a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, yet traditional homogeneous catalysts like sodium and potassium hydroxide face challenges with separation and reuse. Calcium oxide (CaO) is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production, but its chemical instability under reaction conditions restricts its long-term performance. This study introduces MOF-mediated synthesis (MOFMS) of heterogeneous catalysts, specifically CaO@ZnO and ZnO@CaO nanocomposites, from inexpensive and non-toxic metal salts and linkers in water. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including XRD, FT-IR, BET, FE-SEM, ICP, and CO2-TPD, were employed to analyze these catalysts. When applied to biodiesel production from soybean oil at ambient temperature and pressure, CaO@ZnO and ZnO@CaO achieved impressive biodiesel conversion rates of 99% and 92%, respectively, within 25 min. Both catalysts maintained their activity over six utilization cycles, with Ca²⁺ leaching remaining below 4% (2% for CaO@ZnO and 4% for ZnO@CaO) after the sixth run. These results provide valuable insights into catalyst preparation and leaching control, enhancing reusability in biodiesel production. Future research should aim to improve the long-term stability and reusability of these catalysts, investigate their performance with various feedstocks, and evaluate the feasibility for industrial applications.

Data on PKO biodiesel production using CaO catalyst from Turkey bones.

Project description:In this research paper the production of biodiesel from palm kernel oil (PKO) using CaO obtained from waste turkey bones (WTB) and analytical grade calcium oxide was investigated. Treated WTB was reduced to fine particulate size of <150 µm and then calcinated at 800 °C for 3 h to increase its catalytic activity by its conversion from Calcium phosphate hydroxide (Ca10P6O26H2) to CaO. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescent (XRF) analysis of the analytical grade CaO, uncalcined and calcined WTB were carried out to establish their elemental chemical composition. The transesterification reaction between the triglyceride of palm kernel oil (PKO) and methanol was carried out at a constant agitation speed of 600 rpm and temperature of 65 °C, with varied methanol to oil molar ratio (8-14), catalyst concentration (1-7 wt/wt%) and the reaction time (1-3 h). Minitab 17 software (using response surface method) was employed for the design of experiment and statistical analysis required in the transesterification process of biodiesel production. The qualities of the biodiesel produced were assessed and the results obtained showed conformity of the biodiesel produced to the ASTM standard for biodiesel.

Hydrogen Production from Methanol Steam Reforming over Fe-Modified Cu/CeO2 Catalysts.

Project description:Fe-modified Cu catalysts with CeO2 support, prepared by the impregnation method, were subjected to physicochemical analysis and catalytic tests in the steam reforming of methanol (SRM). Physicochemical studies of the catalysts were carried out using the XRF, TEM, STEM-EDS, XRD, TPR and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. XRD, TEM studies and catalytic tests of the catalysts were carried out at two reduction temperatures, 260 °C and 400 °C, to determine the relationship between the form and oxidation state of the active phase of the catalysts and the catalytic properties of these systems in the SRM. Additionally, the catalysts after the reaction were analysed for the changes in the structure and morphology using TEM methods. The presented results show that the composition of the catalysts, morphology, structure, form and oxidation state of the Cu and Fe active metals in the catalysts and the reaction temperature significantly impact their activity, selectivity and stability in the SRM process. The gradual deactivation of the studied catalysts under SRM conditions could result from the forming of carbon deposits and/or the gradual oxidation of the copper and iron phases under the reaction conditions.

Uncovering Structure-Activity Relationships in Pt/CeO2 Catalysts for Hydrogen-Borrowing Amination.

Project description:The hydrogen-borrowing amination of alcohols is a promising route to produce amines. In this study, experimental parameters involved in the preparation of Pt/CeO2 catalysts were varied to assess how physicochemical properties influence their performance in such reactions. An amination reaction between cyclopentanol and cyclopentylamine was used as the model reaction for this study. The Pt precursor used in the catalyst synthesis and the properties of the CeO2 support were both found to strongly influence catalytic performance. Aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed that the most active catalyst comprised linearly structured Pt species. The formation of these features, a function result of epitaxial Pt deposition along the CeO2 [100] plane, appeared to be dependent on the properties of the CeO2 support and the Pt precursor used. Density functional theory calculations subsequently confirmed that these sites were more effective for cyclopentanol dehydrogenation-considered to be the rate-determining step of the process-than Pt clusters and nanoparticles. This study provides insights into the desirable catalytic properties required for hydrogen-borrowing amination but has relevance to other related fields. We consider that this study will provide a foundation for further study in this atom-efficient area of chemistry.

Atomic level fluxional behavior and activity of CeO2-supported Pt catalysts for CO oxidation.

Project description:Reducible oxides are widely used catalyst supports that can increase oxidation reaction rates by transferring lattice oxygen at the metal-support interface. There are many outstanding questions regarding the atomic-scale dynamic meta-stability (i.e., fluxional behavior) of the interface during catalysis. Here, we employ aberration-corrected operando electron microscopy to visualize the structural dynamics occurring at and near Pt/CeO2 interfaces during CO oxidation. We show that the catalytic turnover frequency correlates with fluxional behavior that (a) destabilizes the supported Pt particle, (b) marks an enhanced rate of oxygen vacancy creation and annihilation, and (c) leads to increased strain and reduction in the CeO2 support surface. Overall, the results implicate the interfacial Pt-O-Ce bonds anchoring the Pt to the support as being involved also in the catalytically-driven oxygen transfer process, and they suggest that oxygen reduction takes place on the highly reduced CeO2 surface before migrating to the interfacial perimeter for reaction with CO.

Relationship between hydrothermal temperatures and structural properties of CeO2 and enhanced catalytic activity of propene/toluene/CO oxidation by Au/CeO2 catalysts.

Project description:A simple hydrothermal synthesis of CeO2 was implemented to obtain a series of CeO2-supported gold (Au) catalysts, used for the total oxidation of propene/toluene/CO gas mixtures and the oxidation of CO. CeO2 preparation started from a cerium hydrogen carbonate precursor using a range of different hydrothermal temperatures (HT) from 120 to 180°C. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and H2-temperature-programmed reduction data indicated that CeO2 morphology varied with the HT, and was composed of the more active (200) surface. Following Au deposition onto the CeO2 support, this active crystal plane resulted in the most widely dispersed Au nanoparticles on the CeO2 support. The catalytic performance of the CeO2-supported Au catalysts for both oxidation reactions improved as the reducibility increased to generate lattice oxygen vacancies and the number of adsorbed peroxide species on the CeO2 support increased due to addition of Au. The Au catalyst on the CeO2 support prepared at 120°C was the most active in both propene/toluene/CO oxidation and independent CO oxidation.

Optimization of Biodiesel Production over Chicken Eggshell-Derived CaO Catalyst in a Continuous Centrifugal Contactor Separator.

Project description:Solid calcium oxide (CaO) catalyst was prepared via the calcination of chicken eggshells as an environmentally friendly waste resource and incorporated in a continuous centrifugal contactor separator (CCCS) for intensified biodiesel synthesis. Biodiesel or fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were produced via the transesterification of sunflower oil (containing 5 wt % tetrahydrofuran as a cosolvent) with methanol under 60 °C and separated from the glycerol and catalyst phases continuously in the CCCS. The influence of reaction parameters on biodiesel production was well modeled by response surface methodology. At an oil flow rate of 9 mL/min, an alcohol to oil molar ratio of 11:1, and a weight hourly space time (defined as the catalyst weight over the oil mass flow rate) of 0.050 h, an optimized FAME yield of 83.2% with a productivity of 638 kgFAME/(m3 reactor·h) was achieved. CaO catalyst was reused without significant activity loss for at least four cycles.
