Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction The solid state ion exchange (SSIE) of CuCl with solid acid supports to produce Cu I supported catalysts is an important reaction. CuCl has a low melting point and is easily dispersed over the support surface when heated, with the spontaneous formation of either a mono or multilayer [1 5]. He et al. [2] modified mesoporous silica (SBA 15) by incorporating alumina and found that the resulting material could be used to support CuCl. The same study determined that isolated cuprous species generated by SSIE between CuCl and Brönsted acid sites formed on the silica host were effective at promoting the dispersion of CuCl. The ion exchange of the Cu I in solid CuCl with the H + in HY zeolite has been shown to occur at temperatures in excess of 3 C, with the maximum ion exchange rate achieved at 3 C. During this process, HCl gas is produced and any excess CuCl sublimates from the solid catalyst surface [6,7]. King [8,9] reported that a Cu I /Y catalyst prepared by the SSIE of CuCl and HY zeolite was more active and more stable than catalysts prepared by the solution ion exchange of Cu(NO3)2 with HY zeolite during the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Anderson et al. [1,11] prepared Cu I /X and Cu I /ZSM 5 catalysts by the SSIE of CuCl and HX or HZSM 5 zeolites and found that the reduced adsorption of CO on Cu I /X as compared with Cu I /ZSM 5 favored the synthesis of DMC. The Cu O species formed on these materials * Corresponding author.

Ruiyu Wang et al. / Chinese Journal of Catalysis 35 (14) 134 139 135 were proposed as the active species during the catalytic reaction [12 14]. DMC was the primary product over Cu I /Y, whereas dimethoxy methane (DMM) was the majority product generated over Cu I /ZSM 5 and Cu I /MOR. The higher activity and selectivity of the Cu I /Y catalyst were attributed to the weaker adsorption of CO onto the Cu I cations in this material. Huang et al. [15] prepared a series of Cu I /FAU catalysts with varying SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratios and found that the locations of the Cu active sites were related to the distribution of Brönsted acid sites, which also influenced the performance of the catalyst during oxidative carbonylation. In addition to the H type zeolite, other Brönsted acids have also been used to prepare heterogeneous Cu Ι catalysts by SSIE with CuCl; studies have investigated the use of SiO2 Al2O3, SiO2 TiO2, SO4 2 /ZnO, and S2O8 2 /ZnO solid acids to prepare Cu I /SiO2 Al2O3 [16], Cu I /SiO2 TiO2 [17,18], Cu I /SO4 2 /ZnO, and Cu I /S2O8 2 /ZnO [19] catalysts, respectively. The obtained catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity during the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC. Notwithstanding the substantial utility of CuCl, it is well known that this material readily oxidizes in air to form Cu(II), and thus it is difficult to be produce commercially. CuCl2, however, is more stable in air and thus easier to obtain and less expensive than CuCl. In addition, CuCl2 quickly decomposes to CuCl and Cl2 gas when heated to high temperatures. We have therefore previously attempted to prepare a Cu I catalyst by the SSIE method using CuCl2 as the Cu source instead of CuCl []. In this prior work, the catalyst formation process as well as the microstructure and active site locations of the catalyst were not completely elucidated, and consequently a series of systematic experiments were performed in the present study to obtain further information with regard to these aspects of the catalyst. 2. Experimental 2.1. Solid materials made by heating a mixture of CuCl2 and HY NaY zeolite (Si/Al = 8.1, Qilu Branch Research Institute, Sinopec, China) was twice subjected to ion exchange with a NH4NO3 solution (.5 mol/l) for a 4 h time span and then calcined at 5 C in air to produce the HY zeolite. CuCl2 2H2O was subsequently thoroughly mixed with either the HY or NaY zeolite (at a 1:1 mass ratio), and the mixture was heated in a tube furnace (Φ mm mm) at a rate of 5 C/min to 65 C and held at that temperature for 4 h under N2. After cooling to ambient temperature, the solid materials, designated as either the Cu I /Y or Cu I /NaY catalyst, were obtained. The same procedure was also applied to mixtures of CuCl2 2H2O or CuCl with HY zeolite (again at a 1:1 mass ratio), which were heated at various temperatures under N2 to obtain either Cu/Y(CuCl2) or Cu/Y(CuCl) catalyst. 2.2. Solid material characterization Thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) analysis was carried out using a Netzsch STA9C instrument (Selb, Germany), applying a heating rate of 1 C/min under N2 (5 ml/min). X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed with an ESCALAB 25 spectrometer at a chamber pressure of 7. 1 8 Torr with an X ray beam generated by bombarding an Al target with electrons at 1486.6 ev. Samples were fixed onto double sided adhesive tape and then placed into a specimen holder. A C 1s binding energy of 284.6 ev was adopted as the internal reference. Elemental analysis (EA) of Cu in the solid materials was carried out by the iodometric method using an SP 723P spectrophotometer while the mercury thiocyanate spectrophotometric method provided in the DZG 93 1 standard was applied for analysis of the Cl content of the catalysts. 2.3. Vapor phase oxidative carbonylation of methanol The synthesis of DMC via the vapor phase oxidative carbonylation of methanol was investigated at atmospheric pressure in a fixed bed reactor (Φ 6 mm 45 mm). In a typical process,.45 g catalyst sample (approximately 1. ml) was packed into the reactor tube and placed in the center of the reactor furnace. A thermocouple was inserted into the middle of the furnace to ensure accurate control of the reaction temperature. The reactor was heated from room temperature to 1 C over min and then held at that temperature for the reaction. The furnace temperature was controlled with a precision of.5 C by a time programmed temperature controller (SK II, Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Liquid methanol was pumped at a rate of.2 ml/min using a constant flux micro pump (2PBOOC, Beijing Weixing Co., China) and vaporized in a pre heater at 13 C. The resulting constant flux of methanol vapor was thoroughly mixed with CO (28 ml/min) and O2 (2.8 ml/min, standard atmosphere), each of which was controlled individually by mass gas flow controllers (MFC, Seven Star Huachuang Co., China). The hot gas mixture subsequently flowed into the catalyst bed where the catalytic oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC took place. The effluent gas was routed to an Agilent 689 gas chromatograph (GC) for online analysis of the products. The GC was equipped with an HP INNOWAX capillary column connected to a flame ionization detector (FID) as well as a series consisting of a PORAPAK Q packed column and HP PLOT/Q carbon sieve and HP PLOT Molesieve/5A capillary columns connected to a thermal conductivity detector (TCD). Methanol, DMC, methylformate (MF), DMM, and traces of dimethyl ether (DME) in the products were detected by the FID, whereas CO, O2, and CO2 were detected by TCD. The gaseous products were sampled and analyzed automatically every min throughout the reaction. The catalytic activity was reported as methanol conversion as well as the space time yield (STY) of DMC, while product selectivity (S) was measured as the sum of the quantities of DMC, DMM, and MF produced. 3. Results and discussion 3.1. Interaction between CuCl2 and the HY zeolite The TG/DTG plots obtained for the mixtures of HY or NaY zeolite with CuCl2 2H2O under N2 are shown in Fig. 1. To avoid

TG/DTG plots of 5 wt% mixtures of CuCl2 2H2O with HY (1, 3) or NaY (2, 4). the effects of moisture contained in the zeolites, samples were dehydrated by heating at 3 C for 1 h prior to analysis. The anhydrous samples were then heated from 3 to C at a rate of 1 C/min. In the case of both materials, there are two obvious mass loss peaks in the DTG profile, occurring at approximately 438 and 7 C. With regard to the NaY mixture, the first peak can be attributed to the release of Cl2 during the decomposition of CuCl2 to CuCl, while the second peak results from the sublimation of CuCl. In contrast, the HY mixture exhibits a more pronounced mass loss between 3 and 55 C and a lower mass loss between 55 and C. This is due to the SSIE reaction of CuCl formed from the decomposition reaction of CuCl2 2H2O with the HY zeolite [14]. The release of HCl results in the additional mass loss between 3 to 55 C while the lower mass loss is caused by the subsequent sublimation of CuCl. Calculations based on these plots indicate that the extent of ion exchange that CuCl underwent with HY and the amount of Cu I loaded on the Y zeolite during the heating process were 53.3% and 6.3 g/g, respectively. The catalytic performance of the Cu I /Y and Cu I /NaY catalysts during the gas phase oxidative carbonylation of methanol to DMC were evaluated in the fixed bed reactor, and the resulting STY and SDMC values are shown in Fig. 2. Both STY and SDMC increased in the initial reaction stages and reached equilibrium levels after approximately 3 h. The Cu I /Y catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity than the Cu I /NaY catalyst; STY and SDMC were mg/(g h) and 72.56% over Cu I /Y and 7 mg/(g h) and 67.71% over Cu I /NaY. In addition to the highly dispersed CuCl present in the Y zeolite structure, the Cu I /Y catalyst had also been loaded with ion exchanged Cu I. It therefore appears that both the CuCl and the ion exchanged Cu I are active during DMC formation and that the ion exchanged Cu I improves the catalytic activity. 3.2. Effect of Cu precursor on the catalytic performance of Cu/Y catalysts The catalytic activities of the Cu/Y materials prepared from different Cu salts are compared in Fig. 3, which summarizes the (dm/dt) (%/min) STY (mg/(g h)) 1 STY over Cu /NaY STY over Cu /Y S DMC over Cu /Y S DMC over Cu /NaY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 Time (h) Fig. 2. Variations in STY and SDMC with on stream reaction time over Cu I /Y and Cu I /NaY catalysts. STY and SDMC values obtained from catalysts prepared at different temperatures. These data suggest that the activities of the two Cu/Y catalysts increased with increasing processing temperatures. At a processing temperature of 25 C, the Cu/Y(CuCl2) catalyst shows lower activity than Cu/Y(CuCl) although the former has a faster rate of increase of both STY and SDMC. At 45 C, Cu/Y(CuCl2) exhibits better catalytic activity than Cu/Y(CuCl). The STY and SDMC of the Cu/Y(CuCl2) catalyst were 38.16 mg/(g h) and.27%, respectively, both of which are higher than those of Cu/Y(CuCl). With further increases in processing temperature, Cu/Y(CuCl2) exhibits an improved STY and similar SDMC compared with the Cu/Y(CuCl) catalyst. Analysis of X ray diffraction of the catalysts (not shown) indicated that higher processing temperatures resulted in improved dispersion of CuCl2 or CuCl on the catalyst surfaces. The specific surface areas of the prepared catalyst also increased, leading to the observed improvements in the catalytic activity of the Cu/Y materials.

These results demonstrate that the Cu 2p3/2 and Cu 2pl/2 binding energies for these catalyst samples were within the ranges of 93 938 and 95 957 ev, while the divalent Cu satellite peak was at 9 945 ev. Through curve fitting of the Cu 2p3/2 spectra, two peaks attributed to Cu I (932.4 ev)and Cu II (at 934.4 ev) were identified, and the results are shown in Table 1. It indicates that with increasing processing temperatures the Cu I content on the catalyst surfaces increased while the Cu II decreased. As an example, the atom percentages of Cu II on the surfaces of the catalysts prepared at 45 and 55 C were 56.75% and 29.9%, respectively. Thus Cu I rather than Cu II is the dominant species on the catalyst prepared at 65 C. The Cl content is also seen to decrease while the molar ratio of Cu to Cl increased with rising processing temperatures. The apparent presence of Cu II on the surfaces of catalysts prepared at 45 and 55 C could be due to incomplete decomposition of CuC12 because these materials exhibit surface Cu/Cl atomic ratios below 1. On the surface of the Cu/Y(CuCl2) catalyst prepared at 65 C, only Cu I was present and the Cu/Cl atomic ratio was 1.8, indicating that the Cu on the surface of this catalyst is primarily in the form of CuCl. The Cu/Y samples prepared from different Cu salts were analyzed by elemental analysis, with the results shown in Table 2. The Cu content in Cu/Y(CuCl) catalyst is higher than that of Cu/Y(CuCl2). However, both have Cu/Cl atom ratios above 1, and this ratio increases further with higher heating temperatures. Comparison of the Cu/Cl atom ratios indicates that the ratio calculated on the basis of the XPS surface elemental analysis is less than 1, while the ratio in the bulk phase of the catalyst is much higher. The dominant compounds on the catalyst surface are therefore CuCl and CuCl2, while the ion exchanged Cu I is in the internal cage structure of the zeolite. Thus Cu exists in the form of both CuCl and CuCl2 on the external surface of the Y zeolite, while the ion exchanged Cu I and small amounts of adsorbed CuCl are in the Y zeolite cage structures [21]. The catalyst prepared at 65 C has only Cu I derived from the small amount of adsorbed CuCl (.9 mol/g) and ion exchanged Cu I (.1 mol/g). 3.3. Stability of the Cu/Y(CuCl2) catalyst Figure 5 shows the dependence of the steady state catalytic activity on the Cu loading of the Cu/Y(CuCl2) catalysts. With increases in the CuCl2 2H2O content, the STY and selectivity for DMC increased, although this effect decreased at CuCl2 2H2O contents above 3 wt%. Both STY and SDMC eventually plateaued and did not increase any further with higher CuCl2 2H2O content, likely owing to the saturation of Brönsted acid sites with Cu + from dispersed CuCl in the zeolite. Figure 6 depicts the dependence of the catalytic performance on reaction time over Cu/Y(CuCl2) catalyst. It shows that the formation rate of DMC increases with the on stream time, reaching an equilibrium value after 3 h. After h of reaction time, the STY and selectivity for DMC were approximately 85 mg/(g h) and %, respectively.

Conclusions A Cu/Y catalyst was prepared by the SSIE method using a combination of CuCl2 and HY zeolite. The highly dispersed CuCl and ion exchanged Cu + in the zeolite were both active in DMC synthesis from methanol. CuCl and CuCl2 were found to co exist on the external surface of the catalyst, while ion exchanged Cu Ι or small amounts of adsorbed CuCl were contained in the internal cage structure of the Y zeolite. Compared with the Cu I /Y MF DMM SDMC/% catalyst prepared by heating a mixture of CuCl and HY, the Cu/Y catalyst synthesized by heating a mixture of CuCl2 and HY showed higher catalytic activity during the oxidative carbonylation of methanol, even though the latter material had lower Cu and Cl contents.

X 射线光电子能谱表征和元素分析结果表明, 活性金属 Cu 主要以 CuCl 形式存在于分子筛外表面, 而在分子筛笼内则以交换的 Cu + 和少量吸附的 CuCl 形式存在. 与以 CuCl 为交换铜源所制催化剂相比, 以 CuCl 2 为铜源制备的催化剂 Cu 含量低, 催化活性更高. 关键词 : 氯化铜 ; 固相离子交换 ; 催化剂 ; 氧化羰基化 ; 甲醇 ; 碳酸二甲酯 收稿日期 : 13-7-28. 接受日期 : 13-1-9. 出版日期 : 14-1-. * 通讯联系人. 电话 / 传真 : (351)18526; 电子信箱 : lizhong@tyut.edu.cn 基金来源 : 国家自然科学基金 (933); 中央高校基本科研业务费专项基金 (1QNA11); 中国矿业大学连云港徐圩新区创新创业基金 (11KDGXYJJ6 ). 本文的英文电子版由 Elsevier 出版社在 ScienceDirect 上出版 (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/187267).
