    HDN of indole over Ir-modified Ti-SBA-15.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2015) Ledesma , Brenda Cecilia; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    The hydrodenitrogenation of indole has been studied over a series of Ti-modified SBA-15 supports and their respective Ir-catalysts. Ti-SBA-15 was synthesized using sol-gel method and Ti was added during the synthesis using Tetraethyl Orthotitanate. Iridium was added by wetness impregnation. The acidity of Ti-SBA-15 was modified adding F or Al in order to improve the catalytic activity. The catalysts pre pared were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption isotherms, UV–vis-DRS, Raman spectroscopy, 27 Al-MAS-NMR spectroscopy, XPS, TEM-EDS, Py-FTIR, H2-Chemisorption and TPR. UV–vis-DRS and Raman spectroscopy confirmed that Ti was incorporated in tetrahedral coordination in the framework of the SBA-15. The analysis showed that the mesoporous structure was maintained after F or Al incorporation. 27 Al-MAS-NMR spectroscopy indicated that aluminum was incorporated mainly in Td positions. The results showed that Ti incorporation helps to reduce significantly the size of iridium crystallites and improves its dispersion considerably. Ir/Ti-SBA-15 modified with Al, with Bronsted acid ity, was the most active catalyst for indole HDN, in mild conditions in a Batch reactor. The experimental data for indole hydrodenitrogenation was quantitatively represented by a Langmuir–Hinshelwood type rate equation

    Novel preparation of titania-modified CMK-3 nanostructured material as support for Ir catalyst applied in hydrodenitrogenation of indole.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2017) Ledesma , Brenda Cecilia; Juárez , Juliana María; Vallés , Verónica Alejandra; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    Abstract Iridium catalyst was prepared using a novel tita nium oxide-CMK-3 support synthesized as a replica of Ti SBA-15. The catalyst was applied in the hydrodenitrogena tion of indole. The activity was compared with an iridium catalyst supported over a grafted titanium-CMK-3. Struc tural and textural characterization of the catalysts was per formed by means of N2 adsorption, XRD, UV–Vis–DRS, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM and H2 Chemisorption. Ir Ti-CMK-3 was the most active catalyst for the hydro denitrogenation reaction at mild conditions. Titanium oxide contained in carbon ordered mesoporous CMK-3 promotes a very good anchorage of iridium metallic clusters in the carbon framework reaching high active site distribution and more stable nanoclusters.

    The hydrodenitrogenation of Indole has been studied over a series of Ti-modified SBA-15 supports and their respective Ir-catalysts. Ti-SBA-15 was synthesized using sol-gel method and Ti was added during the synthesis using TEOT as Ti source. Ti was incorporated into the framework replacing the Si atoms in the mesoporous structure. Ir/Ti-SBA-15 with and without F and/or Al were prepared to improve the catalytic activity. F and Al have been incorporated by wetness impregnation method. The effect of the incorporation of F and Al in the mesoporous structure was tested in the hydrodenitrogenation reaction of indole. The catalysts were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption isotherms, TEM, FTIR and UV-vis-DRS and Raman spectroscopy. The low angle X-ray analysis showed for all the materials intensive reflection, characteristic of SBA-15 structure. The mesoporous structure was maintained after F and Al incorporation. The results showed that Ti incorporation reduces significantly the cluster size and improves considerably the Ir cluster dispersion. The catalytic activity of Ir/Ti-SBA-15 modified with F and Al, with higher acidity, avoided the irreversible adsorption of indole. The catalytic activity was studied in a 4563 Parr reactor, at 250°C, 15 atm of pressure of hydrogen and 360 rpm. The catalysts synthesized had good activity measured in hydrodenitrogenation of indole at mild conditions. The preliminary results show these materials as promising catalysts for HDN reactions

    Ir-Pt/SBA-15 applied in the optimization of tetralin hydrogenation.

    Bimetallic catalysts have received considerable attention for hydrotreating (HDT) because they show high activity. The features of the catalysts here studied are going to be correlated with their catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of tetralin at mild conditions. The final goal is to find the optimal proportion of each metal in order to be more active and the best reaction conditions (temperature and amount of catalyst). The statistical experiments design is the process of planning an experiment to obtain appropriate data that can be analyzed by statistical methods, to produce concrete and valid conclusions. One of the main advantages in the response curve is to visualize the response for all levels of the experimental factors Experiment design response surface methodology (RSM) is used in this work to model and to optimize the process. Platinum and Iridium nanoparticles were incorporated into SBA-15 support by the wet co-impregnation method. Ir content was set as 1wt. % and Pt was varied from 0 to 1wt. %. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, XPS, TEM, ICP and TPR. XRD profiles are characteristic of the two-dimensional p6mm hexagonal mesostructure with d100 spacing of 10.16 nm; where the d100 spacing upon Ir and Pt incorporation were quite similar to pristine SBA-15. The TEM images and XPS demonstrate that the metal particles were mainly present inside the porous and XPS and TPR corroborated the reduced state of the metals. The catalytic activity was measured in a 4563Parr reactor at 15 atm of hydrogen and 360 rpm. Feed consisted in 50 mL of tetralin in Dodecane, the amount of tetralin is set according to the ratio of catalyst mass/mass reagent corresponding to each reaction. The application of this methodology allows a better understanding of the influence of the different factors: content of metal on catalyst (A), relationship: mass of catalyst/reagent mass (B) and reaction temperature (C), on two responses: conversion at 3 h and at 5 h of reaction time. These factors were carefully selected taking account the influence of the parameters in the reaction. The design was analyzed by Statgraphics and Statistica Soft. We found that, the variable Catalyst has the best influence over the Conversion at the 95.0% confidence level, according to the Pareto.

    ODS of dibenzothiopene with titanium-modified SBA-16.

    Over the past, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has drawn considerable interest as a new alter native method for deep sulfur elimination from light oils. This can be attributed to its attrac tive properties, including lower temperature and pressure conditions and lower operating cost [1-3] than conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process. Oxidation of organosulfur com pounds results in the formation of sulfoxides/sulfones, highly polar and hence easily removed by both extraction into polar solvents or by adsorption. Due to their low reactivity, diben zothiophene derivatives (DBTs) are the most refractory species to be eliminated from oils. Hence, the ODS process through which DBTs are converted to their corresponding sulfones involves great interest at present [4-6]. We recently reported a good performance of this sup port in hydrotreating processes [7]. In this work, we describe the preparation and characteriza tion of new mesoporous catalytic materials based on Ti-containing SBA-16. We study here, the effect of the preparation method of titania-modified SBA-16 (characteristics of the active Ti and/or TiO2 species) and the effect of the different operation conditions in ODS of DBT under mild conditions in order to find the best performance. TiO2-modified mesoporous SBA 16 and titanium-substituted mesoporous SBA-16 were developed and tested in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene prevailing in liquid fuel. We assessed the impact exerted on performance of different reaction variables, including (nature and amount of the active catalytic species, phase system, molar ratio of oxidant H2O2 and DBT, reaction tempe rature, nature of the substrate and reuse of catalysts)

    he oil refining industry has a difficult challenge to meet the increasingly stringent regula tions on environmental issues. Contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, fused ring aromatic compounds or metals are the principal to remove to achieve "green" fuels. The hydrotreating (HDT) is one of the processes most used in the refinery to remove these contaminants. To optimize the gas oil hydrotreater, it is crucial to understand the aromatic hydrogenation reac tion chemistry occurring in the gas oil hydrotreater. To find alternative processes, it is neces sary to develop new and more active catalysts to replace the current ones. Bimetallic Pt–Pd catalysts have received considerable attention, because they show high actvity in a variety of catalytic applications [1,2]. From a fundamental point of view, exploring bimetallic catalysts also allows better understanding of mechanisms and variables involved in the catalytic reac tions. The features of the catalysts here studied are going to be correlated with their catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of tetralin. The final goal is to find the optimal proportion of each metal in order to be more active and the best reaction conditions. The statistical expe riments design is the process of planning an experiment to obtain appropriate data that can be analyzed by statistical methods, to produce concrete and valid conclusions [3]. One of the main advantages in the response curve is to visualize the response for all levels of the experi mental factors Experiment design response surface methodology (RSM) is used in this work to model and to optimize the process.
