摘要:

甲烷无氧偶联是一种很有前景的甲烷转化利用的增值途径. 由于高温条件下催化剂表面反应与气相自由基反应共存且均对产物分布具有重要影响, 因而很难深入理解该反应的机理.

本文采用火焰喷雾热解方法制备了一系列具有高度分散Mo位点的Mo掺杂的CeO2样品, 并用于催化甲烷无氧偶联反应. 结果表明, 在气相产物中, 附加值较高的C2烃产物(乙烷和乙烯)的选择性可达98%. 反应过程中催化剂中高度分散的Mo-oxo物种被还原并转化为Mo(oxy-)碳化物物种, 它是甲烷活化的活性位点. 通过改变反应器内气相部分(即无催化剂部分)的体积, 研究了气相反应对于产物分布的贡献. 乙烷是甲烷无氧偶联的初级产物, 部分乙烯和大部分苯是通过气相化学形成的. 综上, 本文为甲烷无氧偶联高效催化剂的设计提供了参考, 并明确了减少反应器中自由体积以限制二次气相反应的重要性.

Abstract:

Direct catalytic non-oxidative coupling is a promising route for the valorization of abundant methane. Understanding the mechanism is difficult because reactions at the surface of the catalyst and in the gas phase via radicals are important at the high temperatures employed. Herein, a series of Mo-doped CeO2 samples with isolated Mo sites were prepared by flame spray pyrolysis method and screened for their performance in non-oxidative coupling of methane. The selectivity to value-added C2 hydrocarbons (ethane and ethylene) among gas-phase products could reach 98%. During the reaction, the isolated Mo-oxo species in the as-prepared catalyst are reduced and convert into Mo (oxy-)carbide species, which act as the active sites for methane activation. By varying the available catalyst-free gas volume along the length of the reactor, we studied the contribution of gas-phase reactions in the formation of different products. Ethane is the primary product of non-oxidative methane coupling and, at least, a part of ethylene and most of benzene is formed through gas-phase chemistry. This work provides insights into the design of efficient catalysts for non-oxidative coupling of methane and highlights the importance of reducing the free volume in the reactor to limit secondary gas-phase reactions.
