    Propylene oxide (PO) is an important chemical intermediate mainly used in the production of various organic raw materials such as polyether polyols and propylene glycol,and is widely used in fields such as food and tobacco.The use of titanium silicon molecular sieve (TS-1) as a carrier to load metal gold as a catalyst for gas-phase epoxidation of propylene has broad industrial application prospects.This article mainly introduces the main factors and catalytic mechanism that affect Au/TS-1 catalyst,including the preparation method of the catalyst,gold particle size,and additives.The main preparation methods include immersion method,sedimentation precipitation method,solid grinding method,ionic liquid method,and colloid method,among which sedimentation precipitation method is currently the mainstream laboratory preparation method for catalysts.The main influence of gold particle size is reflected in the 2 nm gold catalytic effect,which is most favorable for the occurrence of propylene epoxidation reaction.The main additives are alkali metals Na and Cs,which can improve the catalytic performance of the catalyst.The Au/TS-1 catalyzed epoxidation of propylene mainly relies on the dual site synergistic catalysis of Au and Ti sites.How to prepare high-performance Au/TS-1 on a large scale is currently the main difficulty in the industrial application of propylene hydrogen phase epoxidation to produce propene oxide.

    Excessive emissions of carbon dioxide have caused serious environmental problems,especially global warming and ocean acidification.The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is one of the most promising methods for converting CO2 into high-energy-density fuels or high-value chemicals. Because of their low cost and high selectivity for C3 products,copper-based catalysts have garnered a lot of attention as efficient electrocatalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide to multi-carbon compounds.This paper summarizes the research progress of copper-based catalysts for CO2RR to generate C3 products in recent years,including the reaction mechanism of CO2RR to generate C3 products,and improving the electroreduction performance of copper-based catalysts through structural regulation,surface regulation,bimetallic and other strategies.Finally,the key challenges and future research directions in this field are outlined to provide ideas for further development of highly active CO2RR catalysts to generate C3 products.

    In order to improve the phenomenon of micro-pores caused by water evaporation in the film forming process of epoxy acrylate emulsion,four different oxidized polyethylene waxes XW-17,XE-16,PED522 and 629A were used to modify the epoxy emulsion.Due to the high melting point of oxidized polyethylene wax,it was used as a functional monomer to modify epoxy acrylate,and its optimal amount was studied.Finally,epoxy emulsion was prepared by soap-free core-shell emulsion polymerization.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed that oxidized polyethylene wax was successfully introduced into epoxy acrylate.The optimum addition amount of oxidized polyethylene wax was determined by cross-linking degree and water absorption.The microstructure of emulsion before and after modification was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Thermal weight (TGA),static water contact angle and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to test the emulsion dry film before and after modification.The results showed that the addition of oxidized polyethylene wax could improve the thermal properties and roughness of the emulsion dry film,but did not change the hydrophilicity of the emulsion dry film.The optimum addition amount of oxidized polyethylene wax to modified epoxy acrylate was mass fraction of 0.3%,and the modified emulsion with 629A had the best performance.

    Ethylene oxide (EO) is a pivotal derivative in the ethylene industry,which is next to polyethylene in importance.Silver (Ag)-based catalysts exhibit exceptional performance in the epoxidation of ethylene to EO.The RS-891 catalyst,synthesized via the impregnation method,was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),mercury intrusion porosimetry,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O2-TPD) to elucidate its structural and chemical properties.The catalytic performance of RS-891 in the epoxidation of ethylene to produce EO was systematically evaluated.The results demonstrate that the α-Al2O3 support utilized in the RS-891 catalyst possesses a lamellar structure with an interlocking configuration,which enhances the mechanical strength of the support and promotes the uniform dispersion of silver nanoparticles.This structural feature effectively mitigates nanoparticle aggregation,thereby extending the operational lifespan of the catalyst.Laboratory evaluations conducted over 1 500 h,corroborated by industrial operational data,indicate that the RS-891 catalyst achieves an EO selectivity exceeding 88% after 100 h of operation,with a consistent upward trend in selectivity thereafter.Once selectivity surpasses 88%,the catalyst maintains stable and reliable performance,ensuring high catalytic efficiency.The close alignment between industrial application data and laboratory results underscores the exceptional stability of the RS-891 catalyst,highlighting its significant potential for industrial applications and substantial economic value.
