BUTEN-1-in BUTEN-2-yə İZOMERLƏŞMƏSİ REAKSİYASINDA BİNAR KOBALT TƏRKİBLİ KATALİZATORLARIN AKTİVLİYİ

Abstract

Hydrogen is considered the main source of chemical energy that can be converted directly into electricity and with the help of fuel cells into zero emissions of harmful waste, such as volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides and carbon. The production of hydrogen in accordance with the generation of energy using a fuel cell is considered a promising alternative to stationary and portable power generation plants in the future. Various methods are used to produce hydrogen: water electrolysis, gasification, partial oxidation of heavy oil and steam corrugation of organic compounds. Currently, in industry, about 90% of hydrogen is produced by the reaction of high-temperature steam reforming of light fractions of natural gas or oil. An attractive alternative to hydrogen production is the reaction of ethanol steam reforming. The activity of binary iron-cobalt, zinc-cobalt and magnesium-cobalt oxide catalysts in the reaction of isomerization of butene-1 to butenes-2 was studied. Iron-cobalt, zinc-cobalt and magnesium-cobalt oxide catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation from aqueous solutions of iron, zinc, magnesium and cobalt nitrate salts. The resulting mixture was evaporated at 95-100°C, then the resulting precipitate was dried at 100-120°C and then decomposed at 250°C until the nitrogen oxides were completely separated. The resulting solid was calcined at 700°C for 10 hours. Thus, 27 catalysts were prepared satisfying the following conditions: mA/NB, where A is Mo, Ti, Cu; cis, m,n=1-9, m+n=10. The isomerization reaction of butene-1 to butene-2 was carried out at a rate of 1200 h-1 volume of feedstock in the temperature range of 150-400°C. The reactor was filled with 5 mL of 1-2 mm thick catalyst and fed with a reaction mixture consisting of butene-1 and nitrogen. The ratio of butene-1 to nitrogen is 1:9. It is shown that with increasing cobalt content in the Fe-Co-o catalyst composition, its activity in the isomerization reaction reaches a maximum on catalysts with equivalent ratio of initial elements. The ratio of trans- and cis-butenes-2 practically does not change and is equal to 1.2. It is found that both Lewis acid centers and Bransted acid centers are present on the surface of this catalyst in approximately equal amounts. It was found that with increasing zinc content in the catalyst composition, the degree of butene-1 isomerization decreases and the ratio of trans-butene-2 to cis-butene-2 increases from 0 to 2.1, indicating the presence of Lewis and Bronsted acid centers on the surface of Zn-Co-O catalysts. It is found that for the Mg-Co-O catalytic system the ratio of trans and cis butenes-2 yields varies in the range 0.8-1.5. It is shown that, in the whole temperature range studied, the atomic ratio of cobalt and magnesium has a strong influence on their activity in the reaction of Butene-1 isomerization into Butene-2. It is found that the number of Lewis and Bronsted acid centers is practically independent of the composition of the Mg-Co-O catalytic system. Based on the study of the reaction of butene-1 to butene-2 isomerization on binary cobalt-containing catalysts, it was found that the samples with equimolar ratios of primary elements in Fe-Co-O catalysts, as well as samples with one of the predominant elements in the catalytic systems Zn-Co-O and Mg-Co-O are active.
