Reactivity of Heteropolytungstate and Heteropolymolybdate Metal Transition Salts in the Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Methanol and CO2

چکیده
A series of Keggin-type heteropoly compounds (HPC) having different countercations (Co, Fe) and different addenda atoms (W, Mo) were synthesized and characterized by means of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The catalytic properties of the prepared catalysts for the dimethyl carbonate (DMC) synthesis from CO(2) and CH(3)OH were investigated. The experimental results showed that the catalytic activity is significantly influenced by the type of the countercation and addenda atoms transition metal. Among the catalysts examined, Co(1.5)PW(12)O(40) is the most active for the DMC synthesis, owing to the synergetic effect between Co and W. Investigating the effect of the support showed that the least acidic one (Al(2)O(3)) enhanced the conversion but decreased the DMC selectivity in favor of that of methyl formate (MF), while that of dimethoxy methane remained stable.

Catalytic Effect of Metal Species on Enhancement of CO2 Gasification Reactivity of Biomass Char
In the Boudouard reaction, where CO2 is reacted with carbon (char) to produce CO, very high temperatures are required to shift the equilibrium towards CO production. This endothermic reaction is inherently slow and catalytic species are effective to speed up the reaction rate at temperatures below 900 °C. In this study, the catalytic effect of some alkali (K, Na), alkaline earth (Ca) and transi...

SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 catalyst was prepared by sulfating ZnO-TiO2 powders with H2SO4 solution. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, IR and Hammett indicator. The catalyst showed strong acidity(H0 ≦-16.0). The optimum conditions are found that the calcination temperature is 823K and the so...
متن کاملSynthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Urea and Methanol
There is a great concern on the utilisation of CO2 due to its increased atmospheric concentration by anthropological emissions in the last few decades. Therefore, the fixation of inexpensive and abundantly available CO2 in valuable chemicals is gaining lot of interest in recent times. Despite this, there are only a few industrial processes where CO2 is consumed directly. One such process is the...
