  • vanadium phosphorus oxides for n butane oxidation to Maleic Anhydride
    Applied Catalysis A-general, 1997
    Co-Authors: M. Abon, Jean-claude Volta
    Abstract:

    Abstract This publication presents recent developments of the knowledge of the vanadium phosphorus oxides used as catalysts for n -butane oxidation to Maleic Anhydride. We emphasize particularly the nature of the active phase, the active centres and the role of the redox and acido-basic properties contrasting informations between catalysts presenting different degree of disorder. The nature of the active oxygen species and the mechanistic aspects of the reaction are discussed from studies conducted in our laboratory and by comparison with the present knowledge.

  • Maleic Anhydride hydrogenation over pd al2o3 catalyst under supercritical co2 medium
    Applied Catalysis B-environmental, 2003
    Co-Authors: Unnikrishnan R Pillai, Endalkachew Sahledemessie, Douglas M Young
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hydrogenation of Maleic Anhydride (MA) to either γ-butyrolactone (GBL) or succinic Anhydride (SAH) over simple Pd/Al2O3 impregnated catalyst in supercritical CO2 medium has been studied at different temperatures and pressures. A comparison of the supercritical CO2 medium reaction with the conventional hydrogenation in the presence of commonly employed organic solvents is also described. The use of various co-solvents for CO2 has also been investigated. Selectivities different from traditional liquid phase reactions are observed under supercritical conditions. A 100% MA conversion with more than 80% selectivity to γ-butyrolactone could be obtained at 473 K and at a pressure of 2.1 MPa H2 and 12 MPa CO2. Temperature is found to be critical in obtaining the desired high γ-butyrolactone selectivity. Catalyst deactivation is observed after extended number of recycle experiments, which resulted in a lower butyrolactone selectivity. The lactone selectivity, however, could be improved by increasing the H2 partial pressure or by increasing the reaction temperature. Hydrogenation of Maleic Anhydride under supercritical CO2 as solvent is found to be promising for the selective hydrogenation of low vapor pressure solid compounds without employing environmentally harmful organic solvents.

  • selective hydrogenation of Maleic Anhydride to gamma butyrolactone over pd al2o3 catalyst using supercritical co2 as solvent
    Chemical Communications, 2002
    Co-Authors: Unnikrishnan R Pillai, Endalkachew Sahledemessie
    Abstract:

    A selective hydrogenation of Maleic Anhydride to either gamma-butyrolactone or succinic Anhydride over simple Pd/Al2O3 catalyst under supercritical CO2 medium is described for the first time which has considerable promise for both lab-scale as well as industrial selective hydrogenations of low vapor pressure compounds without employing environmentally harmful organic solvents.
