Oxidación selectiva de sulfuros mediante niobatos alcalinos

Abstract

Se sintetizaron niobatos alcalinos ANbO3 (A= Li, Na, K) mediante el método del citrato. Dichos materiales fueron caracterizados para conocer sus características fisicoquímicas por las técnicas de BET y DRX, y posteriormente se evaluaron como catalizadores para la oxidación de dipropilsulfuro a sus correspondientes sulfóxido y sulfona. De acuerdo a los resultados de caracterización, se confirmó que se obtuvieron las estructuras cristalinas características para los tres niobatos con los metales alcalinos (Li, Na, K) utilizados, con áreas superficiales acordes a las reportadas en literatura para este tipo de materiales. Para la oxidación de dipropilsulfuro se evaluó el efecto del catión alcalino en los niobatos y los reusos del material que presenta mejores resultados de actividad. Se obtuvieron valores de conversión total del sulfuro de 77 % mol, con selectividad al sulfóxido mayor al 95 % mol para el caso del niobato con potasio. Este catalizador pudo reusarse al menos cuatro ciclos de reacción sin pérdida significativa de la actividad.
Alkali niobates ANbO3 (A = Li, Na, K) were synthesized by the method of citrate. These materials were characterized to determinate their physicochemical characteristics by BET and DRX techniques, and were evaluated as catalysts for the dipropylsulfide oxidation to their corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone. According to the obtained results by the employed characterization techniques, it was confirmed the characteristic crystalline structures for the three alkali metals with surface areas similar to those reported in literature for this type of materials. For the oxidation of dipropylsulfide the effect of the alkaline cation in the niobates and the reuses were evaluated for the material that present better activity. Total conversion values of 77% mole of sulfide with selectivity to sulfoxide of 95% mole were obtained when potassium niobate was employed. This catalyst could be reused at least during four reaction cycles without significant loss of activity.
