Ion-Exchanged Binuclear Clusters As Active Sites of Selective Oxidation over Zeolites
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new catalytic oxidation cycle over binuclear Znand Ca-cation clusters in zeolites is proposed. Intermediate active clusters appear due to trapping of dioxygen. CO oxidation is considered as a model reaction over a cluster located in an 8-membered (8R) ring. Geometries of active clusters involved in the catalytic cycle vary depending on the nature and size of the cation. Reagents, transition states, and products have been optimized at the isolated cluster level considering DFT functionals (B3LYP, B3P86, and B3PW91) with the 6-31G* or 6-311++G** basis sets. Moderate activation energies of 23.0 and 35.7 kcal/mol at the B3LYP/6-31G* level are obtained for CO oxidation over Znand Ca-clusters, respectively.

Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by methane over cerium and silver ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites
A new catalyst comprising cerium and silver ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite is reported in this paper, for the reduction of nitric oxide by methane in the presence of excess oxygen. The bi-cation exchanged Ce-Ag-ZSM-5 catalyst was very active for this reaction, while either Ce-ZSM-5 or Ag-ZSM-5 alone showed low activity. The presence of oxygen in the feed gas mixture enhanced the activity of the ca...
متن کاملSingle-site trinuclear copper oxygen clusters in mordenite for selective conversion of methane to methanol
Copper-exchanged zeolites with mordenite structure mimic the nuclearity and reactivity of active sites in particulate methane monooxygenase, which are enzymes able to selectively oxidize methane to methanol. Here we show that the mordenite micropores provide a perfect confined environment for the highly selective stabilization of trinuclear copper-oxo clusters that exhibit a high reactivity tow...
متن کاملNo removal in the selective catalitic reduction process over Cu and Fe exchanged type Y zeolites synthesized from coal fly ash
The nitric oxide (NO) removal capacity of ion-exchanged zeolite Y obtained from coal combustion fly ash was evaluated in this work. Zeolite Y was exchanged either with Cu or Fe to obtain two different catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx from flue gas. The selective catalytic reduction experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 350°C, water content 0% an...
متن کاملSynthesis of single-site copper catalysts for methane partial oxidation.
Cu-Exchanged zeolites are known as active materials for methane oxidation to methanol. However, understanding of the formation of Cu active species during synthesis, dehydration and activation is fragmented and rudimentary. We show here how a synthesis protocol guided by insight in the ion exchange elementary steps leads to highly uniform Cu species in mordenite (MOR).
متن کاملImproved Efficiency for Partial Oxidation of Methane by Controlled Copper Deposition on Surface‐Modified ZSM‐5
The mono(μ-oxo) dicopper cores present in the pores of Cu-ZSM-5 are active for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol. However, copper on the external surface reduces the ratio of active, selective sites to unselective sites. More efficient catalysts are obtained by controlling the copper deposition during synthesis. Herein, the external exchange sites of ZSM-5 samples were passivated by ...
