Correspondingly, a 12-lump kinetic model for heavy oil FCC and a 9-lump kinetic model for gasoline catalytic upgrading were presented. Based on this work, mathematical correlation of the lumps in the feeds and products involved in the reaction subsystems and those of the overall reaction system were analyzed in detail. Then, a combined kinetic model for FDFCC, which was based on the data recovered from a commercial unit, was put forward. The reaction performance embodied by the kinetic constants for the combined model of FDFCC was in accordance with catalytic cracking reaction mechanism. The model-calculated values were close to the data obtained in commercial scale. The model was easy to be applied in practice and could also provide some theoretical groundwork for further re-search on kinetic model for FDFCC.展开更多

The model is also verified by using commercial data, the results of which showed that the model can better predict the product yields and their quality, with the relative errors between the main products of the unit and commercial data being less than five percent. Furthermore, the combined model is used to predict and optimize the operating conditions for gasoline riser and heavy oil riser in FDFCC. So this paper can offer some guidance for the processing of FDFCC and is instructive to model research and development of such multi-reactor process and combined process.展开更多

We study this In this reaction carbon monoxide reaction with thermal （Langmuir- Hinshelwood） and non-thermal （precursor and Eley-Rideal） reaction mechanisms using the techniques of Monte Carlo computer simulation. The details of surface coverages and production rates are given as a function of CO partial pressure. The diffusion of species on the surface as well as their desorption from the surface is also introduced to include temperature effects. The phase diagrams of the system have been drawn to observe the behaviour of reacting species on the surface. The study reveals that the production rates are higher for non-thermal precursor mechanism and are in agreement with the experimental finding.展开更多

The neutralization reaction can however be prevented by ligating the acid and base with bulky substituents and the resulting complex is known as a "frustrated Lewis pair"(FLP). Since the Lewis acid and base reactivity remains in the formed complex, FLPs can display interesting chemical activities, with promising applications in catalysis. For example, FLPs were shown to function as the first metal-free catalyst for molecular hydrogen activation. This, and other recent applications of FLPs, have opened a new thriving research field. In this short-review, we recapitulate the computational and experimental studies of the H_2 activation by FLPs. We discuss the thus-far uncovered mechanistic aspects, including pre-organization of FLPs,the reaction paths for the activation, the polarization of He H bond and other factors affecting the reactivity. We aim to provide a rather complete mechanistic picture of the H_2 activation by FLPs, which has been under debate for decades since the first discovery of FLPs. This review is meant as a starting point for future studies and a guideline for industrial applications.展开更多

CO undergoes disproportion reaction to produce gaseous CO2 and surface carbon adatoms, and adsorbs to form surface formate species. H2 adsorption forms dominant irreversibly-adsorbed surface hydroxyl groups and interstitial H species and very minor surface Zn-H species. Surface formate species and hydroxyl groups react to produce CO2 and H2, while surface carbon adatoms are hydrogenated by surface Zn-H species sequentially to produce CH(a), CH2(a), CH3(a)and eventually gaseous CH4. The ZnO nanoplates, exposing a higher fraction of Zn-ZnO(0001) and OZnO(000–1) polar facets, are more active than the ZnO powders to catalyze CO hydrogenation to CH4.These results provide fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms and structural effects of CO hydrogenation reaction catalyzed by ZnO-based catalysts.展开更多

We have discussed here several mechanism types of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with H2O2 in different reaction systems. Five main types have been addressed, i. e.： （1） the non-catalyzed reaction type, where the C=O of ketones is activated by H＋, which is electrolytically dissociated from H202 and H20, to improve the capability of C=O group for accepting the electron pairs; （2） the thermally activated radical reaction type, where the Criegee intermediate is produced via two steps of radical reaction with -OH attack, with much more hydroxyl radicals being excited in the presence of TS-1 zeolite; （3） the Bronsted acid catalysis reaction type, where both O-O moiety and C=O group could be activated by BriSnsted acid; （4） the solid Lewis acid catalyzed C=O of the substrate activation reaction type through enhancing the donor-acceptor interaction between the antibonding π＊c-o orbital of cyclohexanone and HOMO of Sn-containing zeolites; and （5） the solid Lewis acid catalyzed H202 to form Me-OOH oxidative species by converting the highest occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） of Ti-OOH into a singly occupied molecular orbital （SOMO）, making the O--O group highly electrophilic to attack the C--O of cyclohexanone during the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation process. In the end, we have also compared the different mechanisms and put forward our opinions on the development direction of catalytic materials aiming at eco-friendly Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone in the years to come.展开更多
