Propane dehydrogenation over Pt–Cu bimetallic catalysts: the nature of coke deposition and the role of copper

Abstract: This paper describes an investigation of the promotional effect of Cu on the catalytic performance of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts for propane dehydrogenation. We have shown that Pt/Al2O3 catalysts possess higher propylene selectivity and lower deactivation rate as well as enhanced anti-coking ability upon Cu addition. The optimized loading content of Cu is 0.5 wt%, which increases the propylene selectivity to 90.8% with a propylene yield of 36.5%. The origin of the enhanced catalytic performance and anti-coking ability… Show more

“…Figure S16 shows the TEM image of spent catalyst. [49,50] One can see that the obvious thermal decomposition of coke occurred in the range of 450-625 8C for the 0.5 wt%Mg-1 wt%Cu/b-zeolite but this decomposition temperature was in the range of 550-750 8C for 1 wt%Cu/b-zeolite, indicating that Mg loading retarded the hard coke formation. The coke morphologies exhibited the appearance of wormhole-like structure with significant disorder of pore arrangement, corresponding to the feature of amorphous coke.…”

“…[11a,b,13] However,noany Ni or Ni oxide peaks were present in XRD or Raman spectra of the Ni-N-C samples (Supporting Information, Figures S1, S2), indicating that the Ni species is highly dispersed. [14] On the other hand, the pyrolysis temperature imposed asignificant effect on both the textural properties and the dispersion of Ni species.T he BET surface areas reached the highest (500 m 2 g À1 )a t6 00 8 8C and then decreased markedly to 376 m 2 g À1 at 700 8 8C, indicating the loss of pores due to structural collapse at higher temperatures (Supporting Information, Figure S3). This phenomenon, however,w as not observed for either Fe-N-C or Co-N-C materials prepared with as imilar procedure, [12] implying that the metal species participated in and probably catalyzed the carbonization process.IfNiNPs were formed at 700 8 8C, they would catalyze the methanation of carbon and then resulted in collapse of porous structure.This speculation was confirmed by low-magnification STEM images (Supporting Information, Figure S4).…”

“…[4] High reaction temperatures cause catalyst deactivation by sintering [5] and coke formation. [6] While carbon deposits can be effectively oxidized during regener-ation in air,itismore difficult to achieve redispersion of Pt. [7] In fact, heating Pt/Al 2 O 3 under oxidizing conditions leads to sintering of Pt, forming large Pt particles.…”
