Zeolite H-beta was found to be a very active catalyst for nitration of phenol to ortho-nitrophenol at room temperature in carbon tetrachloride as a solvent. Compared to the conventional process, phenol nitration over solid acid catalyst is a clean and environment friendly process with a simpler workup procedure for quantitative isolation of the products.

Research paper thumbnail of Decomposition of NO over Cu-AITS-1 zeolites

The catalytic properties for the NO decomposition were compared with that of Cu-ZSM-5 (Si/Al = 25 with 2 wt.% Cu loading) and similarity was found between the AITS-1 based samples and Cu-ZSM-5. Due to the higher acidity, the activity at 500 • C per total copper atoms (an apparent turnover frequency, TOF) was significantly higher over Cu based AITS-1 samples being 2-3 × 10 −3 s −1 as compared to 1 × 10 −3 s −1 measured on Cu-ZSM-5. For the ion-exchanged Cu-AITS-1 there was an increase in TOF with increasing copper content, whereas on the impregnated samples a decrease in TOF was found. On all catalysts there was a maximum in the NO conversion at 500-550 • C. The amount of NO per copper atom measured by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) was about the same as that on Cu-ZSM-5 and the features of the TPD were also similar. At the first contact of the catalyst at 500 • C with the 2 vol% NO/Ar gas a transient N 2 O formation and a considerable delay in the O 2 formation was observed. This could, however, be reproduced only on fresh catalyst, while all further transients showed different but reproducible features using the same sample.

A series of MoO3/SiO2 catalysts with varying MoO3 loadings (1–30 mol%) were prepared using a sol–gel technique and characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), BET specific surface area analysis, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of ammonia, and FTIR spectroscopic analysis of adsorbed pyridine. XRD analysis revealed the amorphous nature of the catalyst for 1 and 10 mol% MoO3 loading, and the formation of a crystalline α-MoO3 phase on the amorphous silica support at higher MoO3 loading. The BET surface area for pure silica support was 606 m2 g−1 and the pore size distribution in the range 40–80 A, showing the mesoporous nature of amorphous silica. The BET surface area decreased to 583 m2 g−1 with incorporation of 1% MoO3 and further decreased to 180 m2 g−1 with increasing MoO3 loading up to 20%. Above 10% MoO3 loading, formation of crystalline MoO3 clusters on amorphous silica was observed. Ammonia-TPD showed a drastic increase in acid strength after addition of 1% MoO3 compared to pure silica support and the acid strength increased with increasing MoO3 content. Among the series of catalysts prepared, MoO3/SiO2 containing 20 mol% MoO3 was found to be the most active catalyst for benzene nitration, without showing any deactivation after more than 1000 h, showing a very high potential for commercialization.

Targets of hydrogenation are often alkenes or imine. Most hydrogenations involve the direct addition of diatomic hydrogen under pressure, often in practice with catalysts. Some hydrogenations involve the indirect addition of hydrogen, these are called transfer hydrogenations. The classical example of a hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen on unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms, converting alkenes to

The a.c. conductivity of the samples has been measured from 400 to 1000 ~ C. The best conductivity is found in ZrO2 doped with 15 per cent CaO, which at 400 ~ C is 2.37 • 10-6 gZ-1 cm-1 and at 1000~ C is 1.26 x 10-2 D,-1 cm-1, with an activation energy of 1.16 eV.

Liquid phase phenol hydrogenation over Pd‐CuO/CeO2 was carried out under mild conditions. Palladium impregnated over CuO/CeO2 synthesized by co‐precipitation method showed excellent catalytic activity for phenol hydrogenation (99% conversion with 80% cyclohexanol yield) at 90 °C and 10 bar H2 pressure in water. Commercial 10%Pd/C showed only 8% phenol conversion under identical conditions. The detailed characterization revealed significant improvement in surface area of ceria after addition of CuO and decrease in crystallite size with creation of defects in CeO2 lattice. XPS analysis showed Pd loading on CuO/CeO2 to cause hydrogen spillover on the surface leading to increase in the oxygen vacancies. The interaction of phenol with catalyst surface studied by detailed FTIR analysis, revealed activation of phenol on oxygen vacancy of ceria as phen...
