  • Catalytic properties of new ternary Nb-Sb-V oxide – A comparative study with mechanical mixture of single oxides and binary systems
    Catalysis Today, 2012
    Co-Authors: Maria Ziolek, Hanna Golinska-mazwa, Elzbieta Filipek, Mateusz Piz
    Abstract:

    Abstract The study presents a comparative analysis of catalytic properties of new Nb2SbVO10 ternary oxide against those of a mechanical mixture of single oxides and a mixture of single with binary oxide, all of the same chemical composition. Moreover, the material without antimony (Nb9VO25) was tested. Acid–base and redox properties were studied in the following test reactions: 2-propanol decomposition, Acetonylacetone (AcOAc) cyclisation and methanol oxidation. The properties of ternary oxide and the mechanical mixture of single oxides are not significantly different. The main difference is in the generation of more active Lewis acid–base pairs in ternary oxide, which is demonstrated by the higher production of ether in the intermolecular dehydration of 2-propanol. Acidic/basic and redox properties of the oxide catalysts containing Nb, Sb, V, O (atomic ratio: 2:1:1:10) strongly depend on the presence of binary oxide, which significantly enhances the basicity of the catalysts. The highest basicity was found for pure binary oxide Nb9VO25 but this catalyst without Sb exhibits much lower activity in the transformation of both alcohols.

  • Vanadium and antimony supported NbSiOx—Characterisation and catalytic properties in methanol oxidation☆
    Catalysis Today, 2011
    Co-Authors: Hanna Golinska, P. Decyk, Maria Ziolek
    Abstract:

    Abstract Niobosilica material (NbSiOx) prepared by a simple method without the use of organic template was applied as a support for SbVOx phases with high Sb and V contents. In this paper we describe the preparation of VSb/NbSiOx catalysts, their structural/textural characterisation (studied by XRD, N2 adsorption, UV–vis, ESR) and surface catalytic properties (estimated from pyridine adsorption, test reactions: Acetonylacetone cyclisation and methanol oxidation). It was found that vanadium–antimony binary oxide phase interacts with acidic hydroxyls on NbSiOx surface. Such interaction leads to the formation of Sb0.95V0.95O4 rutile phase and new OH groups exhibiting basic properties. As the strength of interaction of Sb0.95V0.95O4 phase with niobium species in NbSiOx support increases with increasing calcination temperature, the particle sizes of rutile phase are smaller for higher calcination temperatures. High calcination temperatures cause that more vanadium species are present at the +4 oxidation state, whereas after low-calcination temperatures and at high vanadium content V O species are formed and they are well visible in UV–vis spectra of the catalysts. The presence and role of different active centres on VSb/NbSiOx catalysts are discussed on the basis of results obtained in the oxidation of methanol.

  • Meso–macroporous zirconia modified with niobia as support for platinum—Acidic and basic properties
    Catalysis Today, 2010
    Co-Authors: Joanna Goscianska, Maria Ziolek, Emma K. Gibson, Marco Daturi
    Abstract:

    Abstract Meso–macroporous tetragonal zirconia synthesised hydrothermally within this work and containing ca. 60% of mesopores and a surface area of 84 m 2 /g is a highly basic material exhibiting both Bronsted and Lewis basicities (BBS and LBS). Moreover, it has Lewis acid sites and very weak BAS (bridged hydroxyls). Such ZrO 2 was used as a matrix for niobium oxide species loaded as 0.3 and 1 monolayers. NbOx loading decreases basicity (both LBS and BBS) and the number of Lewis acid sites (LAS) and leads to an increase in the number of Bronsted acid sites (BAS). The loading with a 0.3 monolayer of NbOx leads to a very attractive support/catalyst because of the generation of active oxygen atoms at the interface between the NbOx and ZrO 2 phases. Niobio-zirconia supports were modified by impregnation with chloroplatinic acid (1 wt% of Pt). Platinum modification further changes the acid–base properties of the supports, depending on the NbOx loading. The highest Pt dispersion is reached on the NbOx monolayer because of the strong metal–support interaction. Structure and surface properties (acid–base) of the supports and platinum catalysts were characterized in detail by N 2 adsorption, XRD, XPS, UV–vis, FTIR combined with the adsorption of probe molecules (pyridine, CO at room temperature and ∼100 K, CO 2 ), and by test reactions (Acetonylacetone cyclization and 2-propanol dehydration/dehydrogenation).

  • Various hexagonally ordered mesoporous silicas as supports for chromium species—The effect of support on surface properties
    Applied Catalysis A-general, 2009
    Co-Authors: Maciej Trejda, A. Wojtaszek, Maria Ziolek, J. Kujawa
    Abstract:

    Hexagonally ordered mesoporous silicas of MCM-41 type, SBA-3 and SBA-15 were applied as supports for chromium species introduced via incipient wetness impregnation. The samples were characterised by XRD, N2 adsorption, UV–vis spectroscopy, H2-TPR, and a test reaction (Acetonylacetone cyclisation). Their catalytic performance in sulphurisation of methanol was studied. Formation of active centres on mesoporous silica supports as a result of the post-synthesis modification with CrO3 was found to depend strongly on the preparation conditions used in the synthesis of the support. These conditions determined not only the textural/structural parameters but also surface properties of the support, important for the anchoring of metal species which is crucial for catalytic activity.

  • Acetonylacetone conversion on AlPO_4–cesium oxide (5–30 wt%) catalysts
    Catalysis Letters, 1999
    Co-Authors: Felipa M. Bautista, Juan M. Campelo, Angel Garcia, Raquel M. Leon, Diego Luna, Jose M. Marinas, Antonio A. Romero
    Abstract:

    Acetonylacetone underwent both acid‐ and base‐catalyzed intramolecular cyclizations to 2,5‐dimethylfuran and 3‐methyl‐2‐cyclopenten‐1‐one, respectively, on pure AlPO_4, whereas its modification with increasing amounts of cesium oxide developed AlPO_4‐based materials with increased basic properties and, hence, higher selectivities to the base‐catalyzed cyclization process. However, the poisoning of surface acid and base sites indicated that Acetonylacetone conversion into 3‐methyl‐2‐cyclopenten‐1‐one can also be attributed to the joint participation of surface acid and base sites. So, Acetonylacetone cannot be used for the simultaneous characterization of acidic and basic surface properties of acid–base heterogeneous catalysts.

  • The effect of the Cs introduction into Pt/NbMCM-41 and Pt/SiMCM-41 on surface properties and NO reduction with hydrocarbons
    Studies in Surface Science and Catalysis, 2007
    Co-Authors: Izabela Sobczak, Maria Ziolek, J. Goscianska, F. Romero Sarria, Marco Daturi, J.m. Jablonski
    Abstract:

    The effect of Cs on the size and catalytic behaviour of Pt-species in Pt/Cs/NbMCM-41 and Pt/Cs/SiMCM-41 samples was studied by XRD, N 2 adsorption/desorption, HRTEM measurements and the test reaction (Acetonylacetone cyclization). Operando FTIR spectroscopy has been used to study the mechanism of the NO reduction with propene (NSR-NO x storage reduction) over Pt/Cs-containing MCM-41 materials. The results showed that the presence of Cs limits the growth of the Pt metal particles in both matrices. Nb in the mesoporous matrix protects from the destruction caused by alkaline medium. The activity in DeNO x process is determined by Pt particle sizes and is higher in the case of larger particles. Caesium enhances Pt dispersion and decreases the activity in the HC-SCR reaction. Both Nb and Cs species store nitrate species in DeNOx process, however nitrates located on Cs are more active.

  • The role of MCM-41 composition in the creation of basicity by alkali metal impregnation
    Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 2006
    Co-Authors: Aleksandra Michalska, Marco Daturi, Jacques Saussey, Izabela Nowak, Maria Ziolek
    Abstract:

    Abstract Three types of mesoporous molecular sieves (silicate MCM-41, niobosilicate NbMCM-41, and aluminosilicate AlMCM-41) were impregnated with alkali metal acetates. The textural stability of the samples was estimated on the basis of XRD measurements and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. The acidic–basic properties of the obtained materials were tested in the cyclization of Acetonylacetone and studied by FTIR spectroscopy after adsorption of methylacetylene (propyne) and pyridine. Two types of chemical reactions between mesoporous matrix and alkali metal salt/oxide were observed: the reaction between alkali metal salt and silica/silicate and the reaction between basic oxide and silanol groups or Na + cations. In the first one the alkali metal silicate formation decreases from Li to Cs species and leads to the destruction of the material. The second reaction places alkali metal cations in extra framework positions, which increases from Li to Cs species and is only observed in the case of AlMCM-41 and NbMCM-41 materials. As a result of the second reaction Lewis acidity is generated. The average effect of these two interactions leads to the volcanic curve for basicity of M/AlMCM-41 and M/NbMCM-41 with the maximum for K-samples. In contrast, basicity of M/MCM-41 systematically increases from Li to Cs form since the second type of interaction does not occur for these samples.

  • New MCF type supports for platinum — characterization of Pt/MCF and Pt/NbMCF and comparison with Pt/MCM-41
    Studies in Surface Science and Catalysis, 2008
    Co-Authors: Joanna Goscianska, Maria Ziolek, Julita Mrowiec-białoń, Katarzyna Maresz
    Abstract:

    Abstract We prepared the siliceous and niobiosilica mesostructured cellular foams (MCF) as supports for 1wt% of platinum loaded via the wetness impregnation method. For the comparison the Pt/MCM-41 and Pt/NbMCM-41 materials were investigated. Niobium was introduced by two methods, co-precipitation with siliceous source and the impregnation of siliceous MCF. The method of Nb introduction determines the surface properties and finally the catalytic activity of platinum containing catalysts. The efficiency of Nb introduction and activity in Acetonylacetone transformation (test reaction) and NO, O2, C3H6 interaction (studied by FTIR) are discussed in this work.

  • Novel thermal stable (Zr, Nb)MCM-41 supports for platinum
    Studies in Surface Science and Catalysis, 2007
    Co-Authors: Joanna Goscianska, Maria Ziolek
    Abstract:

    Abstract Platinum (1 wt%) was loaded on the mesoporous supports prepared from zirconium included to silicate and niobiosilicate MCM-41 with two methods, during the one step synthesis and by the impregnation. The nature, dispersion, and catalytic behaviour of Pt-species as well as the morphology, thermal stability and surface properties of the supports and catalysts were studied by XRD, N 2 adsorption, TEM, SEM, TG, UV-VIS measurements, the test reactions (2-PrOH and Acetonylacetone), and NO+O 2 +C 3 H 6 adsorption and reaction combined with the FTIR study. We have succeeded in obtaining highly thermal stable catalysts in which Nb species plays the role of NOx storage; Zr promotes thermal stability, uniform small particles, Nb storage behavior, and Pt dispersion, as well as enhancing the basicity of the support; and Pt acts as a redox centre.
