Activated carbons synthetized from orange peel to produce clean energy
(2022) Rivoira, Lorena Paola; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
As we all know, a clean energy revolution is taking place all over the world in pursuit of replacing oil. The present work stands out an environmental point of view by proposing biomass wastes from different industrial areas to produce not only a biofuel but also as raw material to synthetize the catalyst involved in the HDO reaction. In this way the process ceases to rely on the antiquated and obsolete linear economy where products, services, wastes, materials, water and energy have a beginning and an end to become a process with greater tendency to the modern circular economy, closely related to the idea of sustainability. Products, materials and resources are expected to last as long as possible while minimizing waste as much as possible too. Agricultural and forestry waste are available everywhere being a low cost raw material and it is possible to provide added value to the organic wastes of small and medium size enterprises. The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol has been performed in a batch reactor under 12 atm of H2 and different temperatures over activated carbon synthetized from orange peel discarded from juice industry. Carbon activation was carried out through a chemical process with phosphoric acid as an activating agent, varying the acid concentration, the ratio substrate/activating agent and time of contact between them. The best support was obtained using carbonization time of 1 h, temperature of carbonization of 470oC, phosphoric acid concentration of 50 wt.% and with BET area of 1429 m2/g. Subsequently, the metallic nanoparticles were deposited in the activated carbon to use the solid as a catalytic material for the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol. The catalytic material was modified with metallic nanoparticles of Pt. The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, N2 isotherms, XPS, SEM and TEM. Good structure, narrow pore size distribution and high platinum dispersion were achieved in the synthesized catalysts. The objective of this investigation is the evaluation of the catalytic activity and to compare it with SBA-15 support studied previously. The catalyst presented excellent performance for biofuels generation.

El nanomoldelado de materiales ha sido el único método para crear materiales mesoporosos de carbono, utilizando plantillas inorgánicas (Ezzeddine et al., 2016). Involucra una última etapa donde se elimina el agente plantilla, lo cual lo hace complicado, largo y de elevado costo. Recientemente Ledesma et al. (2017) demostraron la posibilidad de un método de síntesis más corto para obtener CMK-3 modificada con Ti incorporando las especies de Ti directamente en la estructura del carbón mesoporoso utilizando Ti-SBA-15 como agente plantilla. En la reacción de ODS ocurre la oxidación de aquellos compuestos de S más refractarios en la HDS, utilizando de un agente oxidante en presencia de un catalizador (Subhan et al., 2012). Es necesario agregar un solvente polar al sistema, capaz de extraer las moléculas de S desde la fase diesel para que pueda estar en contacto con el agente oxidante (H2O2, polar) y el catalizador. En el presente trabajo se evalúa la actividad en la ODS de carbón mesoporoso CMK-3 modificado con Ti, sintetizado mediante un novedoso método más corto.
Direct Synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbon as support of Ir-Catalyst and its application in hydrodenitrogenation of indole.
(Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2018) Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Juárez , Juliana María; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel; Juárez , Juliana María
An ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) modified with titania was prepared using a novel and shorter synthesis method. OMC was successfully synthesized by the carbonization of the silica/TEOT/triblock copolymer/sucrose composite in the presence of sulfuric acid. This novel material was modified with the incorporation of nanoparticles of Iridium. Structural and textural characterization of the catalyst was performed by means of N2 adsorption, XRD, UV–Vis–DRS, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM and H2 Chemisorption. The characterization results indicated that the textural and structural properties of the support synthesized by the short time method are comparable with the properties of the support prepared by the hard template method. Ir-Ti-OMC catalyst obtained by short time synthesis was active and selective in the hydrogenation of indole. Main advantage of the present study is the reduction of time and cost in the synthesis of the new material and the applicability for HDT reactions.

Experiment design-response surface methodology (RSM) is used in this work to model and optimize two responses in the hydrogenation of tetralin to decalin using bimetallic Ir–Pt-SBA-15 catalyst. In this study, we analyze the influence of the nature of the catalyst (metal molar fraction and metal loading), the catalyst/substrate ratio and the temperature of the reaction as factors for the design. The responses analyzed were conversion at 3 h and at 5 h of reaction time. The response surfaces were obtained with the Box–Behnken design, finding the best combination between the reaction parameters that allowed optimizing the process. By applying the statistic methodology, the higher levels of the two objective functions were obtained employing the catalyst with 1 wt.% of iridium and 0.7–0.8 wt.% of platinum; the optimal ratio between mass of catalyst and mole of tetralin was 17–19 g/mol and temperature between 200 and 220 ◦C.
HDT process performance over noble metal-mesoporous catalysts
(2022) Vallés, Verónica Alejandra; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
The greater concentration of market demand in the diesel range forces refiners to consider redirecting internal refinery cuts to new hydrocracking units to increase the contribution to the gasoline and diesel pool. These requirements drive advances particularly in hydrotreating technologies (HDT). The need to reduce the level of sulfur and polyaromatics in diesel fuel to values ??of a few ppm and the need to process heavy cuts with a high degree of aromaticity has motivated the appearance of new, more efficient processes. In recent years, bimetallic catalysts have received much attention, since they can combine two or more functions. The functionality of a catalyst can be due to active sites generated by supported metals and the interaction with the support. Pt-Pd catalysts have been extensively studied in order to improve tolerance to sulfur and other contaminants. They showed higher activity, stability and resistance to poisons compared to monometallic Pt or Pd catalysts. In bimetallic catalysts, the formation of the alloy creates electrondeficient species, more resistant to poisoning, in the case of Pd, which alone or alloyed with Pt, has a high hydrogenating and thio-resistant capacity and has begun to be used in industrial dearomatization units. The objective of this work is to evaluate the activity of all the synthesized catalysts in typical catalytic hydrotreating reactions. Performing first a kinetic study in a Batch reactor to the best catalysts that will then be tested in a continuous flow reactor in operating conditions close to industrial ones. With this objective, catalysts supported on SBA-16 were synthesized. This mesoporous has a high surface area and good characteristics of thermal stability, against the conditions set. The support was modified by incorporating Al indirectly and then impregnated with Ir, Pt and Pd. The behavior of the synthesized catalysts was studied against a commercially used catalyst and another support widely used in the industry, such as alumina. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, NMR, TPR and N2 adsorption- desorption isotherms.

Los catalizadores bimetálicos de Pt–Pd han recibido considerable atención debido a que demuestran tener una alta actividad en una amplia variedad de aplicaciones catalíticas (1). Con alta actividad, selectividad y estabilidad, comparada con catalizadores monometálicos de Pt y Pd. Por ejemplo, catalizadores bimetálicos Pt-Pd muestran tener mayor resistencia frente a envenenamientos en comparación con catalizadores de Pt (2-4). Las características estudiadas del catalizador serán correlacionadas con su performance catalítica en la hidrogenación del tetralin. El objetivo final es encontrar la proporción óptima de cada uno de los metales de forma de lograr la mayor actividad en dicho proceso.
Hydrodenitrogenation of indol using iridium catalyst supported on titanium nanotubes
(2022) Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Martínez, María Laura; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
The HDN of indole was studied over iridium modified titanate nanotube catalyst. Titaniun nanotube was prepared by the alkaline hydrothermal method. Iridium was added by wetness impregnation. The activity was compared with Ir-TiO2 and commercial NiMo/Al2O3 catalysts. The catalysts prepared were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption isotherms, UV–Vis-DRS, XPS, TEM, Py- FTIR and H2-Chemisorption. XRD, N2 isotherms and UV–vis-DRS confirmed the nanotube structure. The analysis showed that the mesoporous structure was maintained after Ir incorporation. The results showed that titanate nanotube as support significantly reduce the size of iridium crystallites and improves its dispersion considerably. Iridium titanate nanotube presented abundant and strong Bronsted acidity compared with TiO2 iridium catalyst. Ir-TNT was the most active catalyst for indole HDN, in mild conditions in a Batch reactor. The Bronsted acidity in synergic effect with Lewis acidity and hydrogenolysis capacity of iridium species were the responsible for the good activity.The HDN of indole was studied over iridium modified titanate nanotube catalyst.

Influence of ti incorporation to bimetallic mesoporous carbon in the production of 2,5‑dimethylfuran from biomass derivatives
(2021) Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Juárez, Juliana María; Domine, Marcelo E.; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
Monometallic and bimetallic supported catalysts were developed to produce 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) trough hydrogenolysis of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF). Detailed physicochemical characterization was done to understand structure–activity correlation. Through a series of experiments and comparatives tests, the synergistic effect among Pt, Ir, and Ti incorporated in the support was investigated. Results revealed that using the titanium contained ordered mesoporous carbon, synthesized by a novel technique, high selectivity to DMF was achieved. In the case of the best catalyst PtIr-TiC, the good activity and excellent selectivity to the desired product DMF (98% yield) was related to the high hydrogenating capacity of the bimetal- lic sites, the acid support characteristics and the high metal nanoparticles dispersion achieved on the mesoporous titanium modified carbon support.
Iridium-supported SBA-15 modified with Ga and Al as a highly active catalyst in the hydrodenitrogenation of quinoline
(2020) Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Martínez, María Laura; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
Ir-supported SBA-15 was studied in the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of quinoline as a model nitrogen com- pound. The activity was improved when Si-SBA-15 support was modified with Ga and Al. Characterization of the catalysts was performed by XRD, N2 adsorption, XPS, H2 chemisorption, TEM, TPR, NMR and Py-FTIR. Dispersion and nature of the iridium species are dependent parameters on the support characteristics. Better activity for the elimination of the nitrogen atom was observed with Ir-Ga-SBA-15 as compared to Ir-Al-SBA-15 at 250 and 300 °C. However, the TON value for Ir-Al-SBA-15 was higher than Ir-Ga-SBA-15 at 300 °C, indicating the influence of the stronger Bronsted acidity in the elimination of the nitrogen atom at higher temperature. The enhanced activity was attributed to the particularly good dispersion of the iridium catalytic centers and to the synergic effect of Bronsted and Lewis acid sites, derived from Ga or Al incorporation. Ga-SBA-15 with 1 wt.% of iridium loading was the most active catalyst for HDN of quinoline. 95% of nitrogen elimination was attained at short time in mild conditions. The reusability of the catalyst presents it as potential catalyst for HDN process.
Magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2–Pt and Fe3O4@SiO2–Pt@SiO2 structures for HDN of indole
(2019) Dinamarca, Robinson; Vallés, Verónica Alejandra; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Campos, Cristian H.; Pechci, Gina
The effect of a second porous SiO2 shell in the activity and selectivity of the Fe3O4@SiO2–Pt catalyst in the hydrodenitrogenation of indole is reported. The double Fe3O4@SiO2–Pt@SiO2 structure was prepared by coating Fe3O4 nanoparticles with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with a further impregnation of 1.0 wt.% of Pt on the (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 structures. The second porous SiO2 shell, obtained by using a hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) template, covered the Fe3O4@SiO2–Pt catalyst with a well-defined and narrow pore-sized distribution. The full characterization by TEM, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), XRD, and N2 adsorption isotherm at 77 K and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) of the catalysts indicates homogeneous core@shell structures with a controlled nano-size of metallic Pt. A significant effect of the double SiO2 shell in the catalytic performance was demonstrated by both a higher activity to eliminate the nitrogen atom of the indole molecule present in model liquid fuel and the improvement of the catalytic stability reaching four consecutive reaction cycles with only a slight conversion level decrease.
Nanoscopic hydrogen reservoir orange peel biowaste
(2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Anunziata, Oscar A.; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
This work addresses the bio-waste valorization approach for the development of a novel carbonaceous nanomaterial to be used in the adsorption of hydrogen as an alternative in the use of green hydrogen. In this research, activated carbons were synthesized orange peel using different synthesis conditions. With the activated carbons obtained with the best structure and texture, the adsorption of hydrogen and the effects on their meso / microporosity were studied. The activation of the carbon was carried out by means of a chemical process with phosphoric acid as activating agent, varying the acid concentration, the substrate / activating agent ratio, and the contact time between them. The best support was obtained using a carbonization time of 1 h, a carbonization temperature of 470oC, a phosphoric acid concentration of 50% by weight and a BET area of ??1402 m2 / g. Said material significantly improved H2 storage behaviour compared to CMK-3 type nanostructured carbon (3.1% by weight at -196,15 oC and 10 bar). The synthesized material shows promise in absorbing hydrogen by weak binding forces (physisorption).

The catalyst presented excellent performance for biofuels generation.
Short time synthesis of titania modified-CMK-3 carbon mesostructure as support for Ir-catalyst applied in catalytic hydrotreating
(2020) Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Juárez, Juliana María; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
Ti-CMK-3 carbon mesoporous was prepared using a novel synthesis method. This new method avoids the hard template synthesis used commonly. The method developed here, allows to reduce time, energy consumptionand cost. Structural and textural characterization of the titanium modified-mesoporous carbonwas performed by N2 adsorption, XRD, UV–vis-DRS, Raman spectroscopy and TEM. The characterization results indicated that the textural and structural properties of the material synthesized by the short time method are comparable with the properties of the material prepared by the hard template method. Ti modi fied-mesoporous carbon was used as support of the iridium nanoparticles, in order to prepare a catalyst to be tested in model hydrotreating reactions. The catalyst obtained by wet impregnation with iridium acetylacetonate were characterized by ICP -AES, H2 chemisorption, TEM, XPS and FTIR of adsorbed pyridine. The high Ir dispersion and small particle size, along with the moderate Lewis acidity generated by the presence of titanium in the support, were responsible for the good performance and stability of the catalyst in the hydrogenation of tetralin in presence of nitrogen com - pounds. Main advantage of the present study is the reduction of time and cost in the synthesis of the new material and the applicability for HDT reactions.

En el presente trabajo se sintetizó Ti-CMK-3 mediante un nuevo método de síntesis, en el cual se evita la utilización de un molde, con el fin de reducir el tiempo, el consumo de energía y por ende el costo. La caracterización estructural y superficial del catalizador se realizó mediante adsorción de N2, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, espectroscopía Raman y TEM. Los resultados de la caracterización indicaron que las propiedades texturales y estructurales del material sintetizado son comparables con las propiedades del material preparado por el método tradicional. El catalizador Ir-Ti-CMK-3 obtenido fue activo y selectivo para la reacción de hidrodenitrogenación (HDN) del indol. La principal ventaja del presente estudio es la reducción de tiempo y costo de la síntesis, simultáneamente con la aplicabilidad en las reacciones de Hidrotratamiento (HDT)

In this paper the effect of the dispersion of noble metals Ir and Pt and interaction with the SBA-15 support was studied by relating them to the catalytic activity of the catalyst in the hydrogenation reaction of Tetralin using a Parr reactor at 250°C and 15 atm. With this objective Ir/Pt-SBA-15 modified catalysts were synthesized with different % of Ir and Pt. The mesostructure of SBA-15 support gives a relatively high thermal stability and proper pore diameter can converts large molecules such as those present in the liquid fuels. The support was prepared by the sol-gel method. The catalytic site was obtained using incipient co impregnation method. The material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and TEM). The metal dispersion was calculated by H2 chemisorption and TEM. Iridium / Platinum particles (d = 2,0-4,0 nm) homogeneously dispersed were obtained with a dispersion of more than 60%.

Nanostructured carbon CMK-3 and mesoporous silica SBA-15 modified with Fe by using different sources of Fe, were used in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a model sulfur compound. Fe-CMK-3 and Fe-SBA-15 were prepared by wetness impregnation using FeCl3.6H2O and FeNO3.9H2O as different sources of Fe. A solution of FeCl3.6H2O/ FeNO3.9H2O in ethanol was mixed with the corresponding material solution (CMK-3 or SBA-15) at room temperature. The solution was placed in a rotary evaporator to remove excess of ethanol at about 333 K and 60 rpm. Afterwards, the sample was dried at 373 K for 18 h and was thermally treated in a dynamic inert (N2) atmosphere. The percentage of Fe has been 2 wt.% with respect to carbon in the final FeCl3-CMK-3 and FeNO3-CMK-3 material. Four samples modified with Fe have been prepared and were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, BET, TEM and SEM. These studies indicated that it was possible to obtain a CMK-3 replica successfully from SBA-15, using sucrose as a carbon precursor. Wide angle XRD pattern of the sample modified with FeCl3.6H2O implies the formation of the magnetite phase in the silica channels. The nanomaterial area is significantly smaller with the incorporation of the metal, SBA-15 and CMK-3`s characteristic structure is maintained after the metal is within the host, in agreement with the XRD studies. The catalytic activity was improved when the nanoporous materials were modified with Fe. The nanoporous carbon modified with FeCl3.6H2O was the most active catalyst for ODS of DBT, using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxidant and acetonitrile as solvent. 100% of DBT elimination was attained at a short time in mild conditions.
