Ester hydrogenation reaction plays a crucial role and is a key step in the synthesis of various high value-added chemicals in modern chemical industry.Especially,in the process route of coal to ethanol and ethylene glycol,the hydrogenation of methyl acetate and dimethyl oxalate is the core step of the process,which is of great significance for promoting the diversification and clean development of coal resources in China.Copper based catalysts are widely used in industrial production for ester hydrogenation reactions due to their advantages of low cost and high selectivity.However,due to the low Tammann temperature of Cu,copper based catalyst nanoparticles (NPs) are prone to aggregation,leading to a decrease in activity.In order to achieve space-time yield in industrial production,it is necessary to increase the reaction temperature,which accelerates the deactivation of copper based catalysts.Researchers usually use methods such as doping additives and developing morphology confinement to hinder the high-temperature aggregation of Cu NPs,in order to maintain the activity of the catalyst and improve its service life.This article elaborates on the mechanism of action of copper based catalysts and the influencing factors of ester hydrogenation reactions.It reviews the research progress of copper based catalysts for ester hydrogenation and introduces typical industrial applications of ester hydrogenation.

For improving the catalytic performance of Cu-based catalyst in CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol,the conventional Cu/Zn/Al catalyst,HCT-Cu/Zn/Al catalyst with hydrotalcite as precursor and HCT-Cu/Zn/Al/Mg catalyst were prepared by co-precipitation method.The effects of hydrotalcite precursors and MgO additives on copper species dispersion,copper specific surface area,catalyst basic site,carbon dioxide hydrogenation activity and stability were investigated.Through SEM,N₂O-TPD,H₂-TPR,CO₂-TPD and TEM characterization,it was found that the preparation of catalyst with hydrotalcite as the precursor system could promote the dispersion of copper species,increase the specific surface area of copper,and increase the strong alkaline sites of the catalyst surface.More importantly,the limiting effect of hydrotalcite could inhibit the sintering of copper species and improve the stability of the catalyst.In addition,MgO additive could further increase the specific surface area of copper,increase the strong alkaline sites on the catalyst surface,and inhibit the sintering of copper species.HCT-Cu/Zn/Al/Mg catalyst with hydrotalcite as precursor was used under the conditions of reaction temperature 250 ℃,reaction pressure 5 MPa,V(H₂)∶V(CO₂)=3∶1 and space velocity (GHSV)=10 000 mL·(g·h)^-1.The methanol spatio-temporal yield was as high as 0.57 g·(g·h)^-1,and methanol spatio-temporal yield was still 0.53 g·(g·h)^-1 after reaction for 50 h,showing good stability.

Layered bimetallic hydroxide (LDH) has become an excellent candidate material for water electrolysis catalyst due to its unique layered structure.Nickel-cobalt layered bimetallic hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) was in-situ constructed on 3D printed nickel mesh (3D-NM) by electrodeposition method,and the regulation of the bimetallic nickel-cobalt ratio on the morphology and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution performance of the bimetallic layered hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) was investigated.When the ratio of Ni∶Co is 1∶1,NiCo-LDH nanosheets exhibit the best oxygen evolution activity,the required overpotential at 10 mA·cm^-2 current density is only 230 mV,the Tafel slope is 103.3 mV·dec^-1,and the nanosheets have a large electrochemically active surface area.The catalyst also showed excellent catalytic stability during a 30 h test.This excellent oxygen evolution activity can be attributed to the abundant electrochemical active sites provided by NiCo-LDH nanosheets and the good charge transport capacity,which together promote the effective charge/electron transfer,thus significantly improving the efficiency of water electrolysis.This study provides a new way for high throughput preparation and optimization of layered bimetallic hydroxide electrocatalysts.

As a kind of non-CO₂ greenhouse gases,hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have a global warming potential (GWP) ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of times higher than that of CO₂.Consequently,it is urgent to develop effective emission reduction measures to mitigate HFCs emissions.However,direct elimination methods fail to fully recover and utilize the valuable fluorine (F) resources contained in HFCs.As fourth-generation refrigerants,hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are characterized by shorter atmospheric lifetime and significantly lower GWP,making them superior alternatives to HFCs.Simultaneously,HFOs serve as critical feedstocks for high-value fluorochemical products,including fluorinated electronic chemicals and fluoropolymers.The gas-solid phase catalytic dehydrofluorination (DHF) process,which converts HFCs into environmentally friendly HFOs,represents the most promising approach.The success of this technology hinges on catalyst development.Current research focuses on four catalyst categories: non-metal catalysts (e.g.,activated carbon-based materials) offer low-cost advantages but suffer from poor regeneration efficiency and stability.Cr-based catalysts demonstrate exceptional dehydrofluorination activity but face environmental concerns due to excessive acidity and potential Cr leaching.Mg-based catalysts show high selectivity,though their complex synthesis processes hinder scalability.Al-based catalysts stand out for their tunable acidity,environmental benignity,and balanced performance,making them the current research priority.Future advancements should prioritize catalyst design with optimized acidity,hierarchical porosity,and enhanced resistance to coking,aiming to achieve high activity,longevity,and industrial applicability to effectively promote the control of HFCs emissions and their resource utilization.

CO₂ oxidation of ethane dehydrogenation to produce ethylene and syngas is a highly focused new technology,but the removal of acetylene during ethylene separation is challenging.The hydrogenation activity of precious metal catalysts in syngas is often suppressed.Research into new catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene in syngas is crucial to unblock the technological bottleneck and streamline the process.At the same time,these new catalysts can also be applied in the purification of calcium carbide furnace exhaust gases.The newly prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD,and their active component was an amorphous copper-boron compound.XPS analysis shows that the binding energies of Cu and B in the copper-boron compound are elevated.SEM images show that the active components are evenly distributed in the catalyst.The effects of catalyst preparation,feedgas composition,and reaction conditions on the selective hydrogenation performance of acetylene were investigated.The lifetime test at the original particle size indicated that the catalyst,when applied to selective hydrogenation of acetylene in syngas,can completely convert acetylene concentrations of 0.3% or below,with a selectivity greater than 96%.This catalyst shows promising potential for industrial applications.

Aiming at the problems of topological competition,templating agent dependence and high solvent consumption during the synthesis of SAPO-5/SAPO-18 eutectic molecular sieves,this study proposes a solvent-free green synthesis strategy,and systematically explores the influence laws of crystallization time,temperature and precursor ratios on the formation of eutectic structures.By optimizing the molar ratio of raw materials (Al₂O₃∶P₂O₅∶SiO₂∶DIEA=1.0∶0.73∶0.6∶1.5) and the crystallization conditions (180 ℃,24 h),SAPO-5/SAPO-18 eutectic molecular sieves with high crystallinity were successfully prepared.XRD analysis showed that SAPO-18 (AEI phase) dominated at the early stage of crystallization,and SAPO-5 (AFI phase) gradually nucleated after prolonging the crystallization time to form a two-phase eutectic structure.An increase in crystallisation temperature promotes AFI phase generation,whereas a decrease in silicon content (SiO₂/Al₂O₃=0.4) or template dose (DIEA/Al₂O₃=1.0) significantly reduces the AEI backbone crystallinity.By changing the crystallization conditions,effective control of the crystal structure and morphology of SAPO-5,SAPO-18,and SAPO-5/18 eutectic zeolites can be achieved.The solvent-free synthesis provides a new way for the green synthesis and industrial catalytic application of eutectic molecular sieves.

For the problem that the slurry circulation pump of the desulfurization device in thermal power plants is difficult to achieve both energy saving and precise control under conditions such as gas-liquid-solid three-phase coupling,load disturbance,and slurry property drift,a variable frequency optimization method based on random forest-slip mode hybrid control (RF-SMC) is proposed.Firstly,an absorption tower gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow coupling model and a pump-pipe combined dynamic model were constructed,considering the flow field,mass transfer,and electromagnetic multi-physics field coupling characteristics.On this basis,Kalman filtering-adaptive disturbance observer (KF-ADO) was used to achieve model reduction and parameter drift compensation.Then,random forest was introduced to real-time compensate for unmodeled dynamics,and the adaptive boundary layer-event triggered(ABLET) mechanism was combined to reduce the switching frequency.Simulation results show that in two types of operating conditions of 75% rated load and 40% to 100% load climbing,compared with PID,MPC,and SMC,the average tracking error of RF-SMC is reduced by approximately 68%,43%,25%,and 65%,42%,34% respectively,and the motor power loss is reduced by approximately 11%,8%,15%,and 11%,9%,17% respectively.The control update frequency is reduced to 700 Hz,providing a new idea for the energy-saving operation of the desulfurization circulation pump and providing strong support for the optimization of the power consumption of thermal power plants,and has engineering promotion value.

Appropriate boron doping has been reported to significantly enhance the catalytic performance of Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalyst in the dry reforming of methane (DRM), however the underlying reaction mechanism remains unclear.In this work,density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to systematically investigate the mechanistic differences between Ni/MgAl₂O₄ and B-doped Ni/MgAl₂O₄ catalytic systems during the DRM process.The results indicate that the introduction of boron markedly modifies the geometric configuration and electronic structure of Ni clusters.Strong orbital hybridization between the B p orbitals and Ni d orbitals is observed,leading to a reduced d-state density near the Fermi level.Such electronic regulation enhances the adsorption of CH₄ while weakening the adsorption strength of CO₂,and significantly lowers the dissociation energy barriers of both reactants.Consequently,the overall catalytic activity of the B-doped Ni/MgAl₂O₄ system is effectively improved.This study provides theoretical insights into the role of boron doping and offers guidance for the rational design and structural optimization of high-performance DRM catalyst.

Cobalt-molybdenum catalysts are widely used and have good anti-toxicity.However,there are still many factors during the production process that leading to catalyst deactivation and affecting the normal and safe operation of the system.Taking the deactivation of the shift catalyst in a coal-to-methanol plant as an example,the deactivated catalyst was analyzed by means of BET,SEM,XRD,and XRF.It was concluded that the main causes of catalyst deactivation were arsenic poisoning,water entering the bed,and over-temperature.Therefore,it is suggested to use anti-arsenic catalysts or add a filter bed to protect the catalyst.At the same time,strict control of process operations is necessary,especially preventing over-temperature and water carryover during start-up and shutdown.In daily operations,the liquid levels of the carbon wash tower and separation tank should be controlled to prevent water and dust from entering the catalyst,thereby extending the catalyst's service life,increasing the catalyst's utilization efficiency,and enhancing benefits.

This article investigates a directing agent with short aging time and high activity,which can synthesize high crystallinity NaY zeolites in a relatively short period of time.The influence of aging times ranging from 2 to 12 hours and aging temperatures between 30 ℃ and 45 ℃ on the appearance and activity of the directing agent was examined,as well as the effect of optimizing the preparation ratio of directing agent on the particle size of NaY zeolite.The results showed that the aging time of the directing agent was only 4 h,and the relative crystallinity of NaY molecular sieve could reach over 90%.When the aging temperature was 40 ℃ and the amount of directing agent added was 8%,the small particle size of NaY obtained by scanning electron microscopy analysis was 500~600 nm.

A series of nanosheet ZSM-5 zeolites with different phosphorus precursors and loadings were synthesized using the impregnation method.The crystal structure,morphology,pore structure,and acidity of these materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),N₂ physical adsorption-desorption,and NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD).The effects of phosphorus modification on the hydrothermal stability of nanosheet ZSM-5 and its performance in the co-cracking reaction of n-butene and methanol were systematically investigated.In this study,different phosphorus precursors[(NH₄)₂HPO₄ and H₃PO₂]were used to modify the catalysts.After treatment at 800 ℃ under 100% steam for 4 hours,it was found that H₃PO₂ modification significantly improved the hydrothermal stability of the samples.Based on this,we further investigated the influence of H₃PO₂ loading on the hydrothermal stability and catalytic performance of the samples.The experimental results indicated that when the H₃PO₂ loading was mass fraction of 0.5%,the catalyst exhibited excellent stability and high light olefin yield in the co-cracking reaction of n-butene and methanol even after the aforementioned harsh hydrothermal treatment.The initial conversion of n-butene reached 68% after hydrothermal treatment,which was nearly 20 percentage points higher than that of the unmodified sample subjected to the same treatment.Additionally,the initial yield of ethylene and propylene increased by nearly 25 percentage points compared to the unmodified sample after hydrothermal treatment.After 340 hours of reaction,the total yield of ethylene and propylene still reached 40%.

Traditional powder photocatalysts face challenges such as aggregation-prone behavior,insufficient long-term stability,and difficult post-use recovery in practical applications.In contrast,monolithic photocatalysts can be directly applied in fixed-bed reactors or continuous-flow systems,offering facile separation and greater alignment with industrial requirements.However,current reports on monolithic photocatalysts for water splitting remain scarce,and existing synthesis protocols often involve complex procedures.There is an urgent need to develop more high-performance monolithic photocatalyst systems coupled with simple and rapid preparation methods.In this study,a Ni₃S₂-ZnIn₂S₄ heterojunction monolithic photocatalyst was controllably synthesized on nickel foam via a one-step hydrothermal method.The nickel foam not only serves as a robust structural scaffold but also acts as a nickel source for the in situ generation of Ni₃S₂ co-catalysts.The formed Ni₃S₂-ZnIn₂S₄ heterojunction significantly enhances photocatalytic activity and stability.The optimized Ni₃S₂-ZnIn₂S₄ monolithic catalyst demonstrates exceptional hydrogen evolution performance,achieving a cumulative hydrogen yield of 48.6 μmol over 5 hours,which is 3.4-fold higher than that of its powdered counterpart and surpasses many contemporary monolithic photocatalysts.This strategy exhibits simplicity,compatibility,and scalability,providing a novel pathway for the fabrication of large-scale photocatalytic water splitting systems.
