    This paper summarize the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) processes,including catalysts,reactors,influence factors,and measures to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions.The efficiency of MO degradation by different catalyst systems is highlighted in the review,and advances in photocatalytic reactors are also presented.The electron-hole separation-transfer efficiency of the catalyst surface and the alignment of the reactor light source with the solution transmission rate are crucial for enhancing the photocatalytic degradation of MO.Therefore,the authors divided the currently available methods for enhancing MO photocatalytic degradation into three categories:(1)Enhancing the light absorption capacity of the composite catalyst;(2)Homogenizing the light source in the reactor;(3)Increasing the loading mechanism of the catalyst to increase the contact-specific surface area and micro-flow characteristics.The idea of increasing the efficiency of photocatalytic is presented in this paper.It is necessary to start with the discrepancy between the source distribution and the transmittance of the solution,and then optimize the source arrangement in the reactor based on the uniform light distribution.

    The synthesis of methyl acrylate by condensation of methyl acetate and formaldehyde has attracted extensive attention in academia and industry.Herein,the Cs solid base catalysts supported by silicon dioxide were prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation method and employed.Combining the evaluation of catalyst performance with a series of catalyst characterization (SEM,Raman,XRD,TG-MS and CO2-TPD),the effects of different Cs precursors on the structure and reaction performance of the catalysts were investigated.It was found that the catalyst prepared by cesium carbonate or cesium acetate precursor had superior performance,while that prepared by cesium nitrate precursor had lower performance,which may be due to poor dispersion of active phase caused by melting and recrystallization of cesium nitrate at 406 ℃.The active sites of the catalyst prepared by cesium carbonate or cesium acetate precursor exist in the form of Cs2CO3 phase after high temperature calcination.The effect of cesium carbonate loading on the performance of the catalyst was further investigated.Under the optimal loading of mass fraction of 5%,conversion of methyl acetate is about 20% and selectivity of methyl acrylate is about 87%.The catalyst had been stable for 120 h,indicating excellent stability.

    As one of the most widely used catalysts in industry,the ZSM-5 zeolite has been a hot spot for research.However,the conventional ZSM-5 zeolite suffer from large grains,diffusion difficulties and poor accessibility of active sites,which limit the application in macromolecular catalysis.The methods and mechanisms to improve the diffusion difficulties of zeolite by adjusting the gel chemistry and synthesis condition factors in recent years are reviewed,and it is pointed out that the use of long-chain quaternary ammonium salts as structural guides can synthesize ZSM-5 zeolite with self-pillared structure and good intercrystalline mesopore connectivity,but their preparation process is tedious and expensive.The introduction of additives such as urea and seeds and the successful application of two-stage crystallization method make the synthesis less costly,and the improved intergranular mesopores will make it have better diffusivity.

    As an important organic chemical raw material,ethylbenzene is mainly used to produce styrene,and then to produce engineering plastics and synthetic rubber.In the early stage,the AlCl3 process,with strong corrosiveness and serious discharge of wastes,was absolutely dominant in the industrial production of ethylbenzene.Since developed by Mobil company and Badger company in the 1970s,ethylbenzene production technologies based on zeolite-catalyzed alkylation,without corrosion and pollution,have made great progress and become the mainstream technology for ethylbenzene production today.In general,zeolite-catalyzed alkylation can be divided into vapor-phase alkylation and liquid-phase alkylation.Pure ethylene,bioethanol and dilute ethylene can all be used as raw material for vapor-phase zeolite-catalyzed alkylation,which shows the characteristics of strong anti-poisoning ability for catalyst,simplicity for process and flexibility for equipment.While liquid-phase zeolite-catalyzed alkylation can be divided into EBOne process,EBMax process and CD-TECH process,possessing the features of low reaction temperature and low impurity content.This paper focuses on the outstanding progress made in the independent innovation of ethylbenzene production technology in China,and looks forward to the production technology of ethylbenzene in China from four aspects including diversification of raw materials,enlargement of equipment,low carbonization of process,and cleaning production of zeolite catalyst.

    As the crude oil reserves decreased dramatically,it’s urgent to upgrade heavy feedstocks into light oils to relieve the supply pressure of crude oil.The slurry-phase hydrogenation is an advanced technology to efficiently upgrade heavy feedstocks.The challenge of slurry-phase hydrogenation lies in developing high active hydrogenation catalysts.In this work,MoS2/C catalysts were synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal method with glucose and maltose as the soluble carbon sources.The compositions and structures of MoS2/C catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,elemental analysis,scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.The characterization results indicated that the MoS2/C catalysts are composed of nanosheets with MoS2-C-MoS2 carbon intercalated structure.The nanosheets display enlarged interlayer distance,short slabs and few stacking layers.The catalytic hydrogenation activities of MoS2/C catalysts were evaluated with phenanthrene as the model compound of heavy oils in the slurry-bed reactor.MoS2/C catalyst with glucose as carbon precursor and the C to Mo atomic ratio of 5 in the raw materials exhibits the highest catalytic hydrogenation activity.For MoS2/C-G-5 catalyst,the phenanthrene conversion,hydrogenation percent of phenanthrene and the selectivity to the deep hydrogenation product octahydrophenanthrene can respectively reach 85.6%,37.4% and 56.4%,which are 1.6,2.4 and 2.3 times as high as those of MoS2 catalyst synthesized without carbon source.The MoS2-C-MoS2 carbon intercalated nanostructures of MoS2/C catalyst could expose more hydrogenation active sites to improve its hydrogenation activity significantly.

    Pd/AC catalyst prepared by impregnation method for the hydrogenation of farnesylacetone has deactivation phenomenon during the reaction process.After regeneration treatment,the catalyst activity was effectively recovered.The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were analyzed by means of XRD,N2 adsorption-desorption,ICP-AES,TEM,TG-MS,etc.,and the deactivation mechanism was explored.The results show that the particle size of the active metal Pd increases during the reaction process,and there is obvious carbon deposition.The metal agglomeration has little effect on the catalyst activity.The deactivation of the catalyst is mainly caused by carbon deposition,which is reversible deactivation.

    A serious of V-Mo/Ti De-NOx catalysts with different amount of MoO3 were prepared on the industrial production line.XRF,XRD,N2-adsorption,abrasion strength,Raman,H2-TPR,NH3-TPD,SO2-TPD,and TG were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the different catalysts.The catalytic activities of catalysts were tested in a fixed-bed micro-reactor.Besides,the effect of MoO3 on the SO2 oxidation activity of different catalysts was investigated by stability tests.The results showed that the amount of MoO3 had little impact on the crystal structure and pore structure of V-Mo/Ti catalyst,but could lead to the decrease of mechanical property of V-Mo/Ti catalyst.V-Mo(5)/Ti catalyst exhibited similar acidity and better reducibility than that of V-Mo(3)/Ti catalyst.As a result,V-Mo(5)/Ti catalyst possessed higher catalytic activity.When mass fraction of MoO3 reached to 6.98%,catalyst acidity decreased obviously,leading to the decline of catalytic performance.The increase of MoO3 could increase the N2O generation during the SCR reaction process,and decrease the SO2 adsorption ability of the catalyst,which was benefit to decrease the generation of ammonium bisulfate.Overall,V-Mo(5)/Ti catalyst revealed the best catalytic performance among the investigated catalysts.

    When concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the atmosphere exceeds the self-purification capacity of the environment,it will lead to acid rain,photochemical smog,destruction of the ozone layer and eutrophication.In addition,nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere will participate in the formation of air pollutant PM2.5 and O3,seriously endanger human health and damage terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.Ammonia selective catalytic reduction of NOx(NH3-SCR) is considered to be one of the best technologies to control NOx emissions from fixed sources,and the key of this technology is catalyst.This paper introduces the sources of the main atmospheric pollutant NOx,the mechanism of NH3-SCR denitration reaction and the mechanism of SO2 poisoning of the catalyst.It focuses on the research progress of improving the sulfur resistance of Mn-Ce catalyst,aiming to provide scientific basis for the design of a new type of sulfur resistant Mn-Ce catalyst for low-temperature NH3-SCR.

    Deactivation and regeneration of Raney Cu catalysts for dimethyl oxalate(DMO) selective hydrogenation to ethylene glycol(EG) were investigated by TG-DTG,XRD and FT-IR.The cycle life of situ regenerated catalyst was also tested.It was found that the main reason for rapid reversible deactivation was carbon deposition on surface active sites instead of migration and sintering of Cu nanoparticles.Surface carbon deposition could be removed by thermal treatment at temperature above 300℃.Under the optimum reaction conditions,conversion of DMO was 100%,and yield of EG was 95.0%.Nonetheless,the cycle life of catalyst became gradually shortened.Additionally,CuC2O4 formation on surface,the structure evolution and accessible active species irreversible loss due to pyrolysis of the copper active compounds during the DMO hydrogenation reaction further aggravated the Raney Cu catalyst deactivation.

    In recent years,the application of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been limited due to the popularization of ethanol gasoline.Isobutene,as one of its raw materials,has to find another way out.Selective oligomerization to produce high-octane isobutylene dimers is a reasonable way to make use of the large amount of mixed isobutene in C4 produced by catalytic cracking and steam cracking.Here,HZSM-5 was modified with Ni as additive.The effect of Ni loading on the catalytic performance was investigated and a series of catalysts were characterized.The results showed that the comprehensive effect was the best with the Ni loading was 0.25%(mass fraction),and the C8= yield is 45.4%.The characterization results showed that the ratio of Lewis acid (LA) and Brönsted acid (BA) of the strong acid sites of HZSM-5 was increased after Ni modification,which played an important role in improving the C8= selectivity.The LA centers may be derived from NiAl2O4 generated by the interaction between Ni species and aluminum in HZSM-5.

    Pd-Cu/Al2O3 and Pd-Cu-N/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by co-impregnation method with Al2O3 as supports.The effect of nitrogen doping on the catalytic performance of Pd-Cu/Al2O3 catalyst for CO preferential oxidation in H2-rich stream was studied by using a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor.The catalysts were characterized by XRD,FT-IR,H2-TPR and XPS.Compared with Pd-Cu/Al2O3,Pd-Cu-N/Al2O3 has better CO preferential oxidation performance.The results show that nitrogen doping promotes the dispersion of Cu2Cl(OH)3 on the surface,enhances the interaction between Pd and Cu,and improves the redox ability of Pd and Cu2Cl(OH)3.At the same time,the addition of nitrogen is also conducive to the formation of more active Cu+ on the surface,and the interstitial nitrogen entering the lattice of Pd may inhibit the formation of PdHx in the reaction process,thus improving the catalytic activity of the Pd-Cu/Al2O3.
