  • Publication number: 20240367996
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a composite oxide containing tungstate nanoclusters, and a preparation method and application thereof. The tungstate nanocluster-containing composite oxide comprises an alkali metal element A, a tungsten element W, an auxiliary agent element M, and an oxygen element O, wherein the alkali metal element A, the tungsten element W and the auxiliary agent element M form a composite with the oxygen element O. The composite oxide as a cocatalyst can obviously improve the selectivity and the yield of C2 in the oxidative coupling of methane reaction with co-fed methane and oxygen.

  • Patent number: 12030830
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of preparing olefins from methanol, in which methanol and phenol-like molecules are used as raw material, which is gasified and then passed into a two-stage fixed-bed catalytic reactor. The raw material reacts with a catalyst A (silica-aluminum molecular sieve) and a catalyst B (silica-aluminum or phosphorus-aluminum molecular sieve) in sequence to produce ethylene.

  • Patent number: 9505628
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a facial green method for metal cyanides preparation, including the following steps: 1) supported metal nanoparticles and Fenton's reagent are mixed with nitrile and then stirred to obtain suspension, wherein metal nanoparticles are selected from a nano metal, nano metal oxide and nano metal salt; 2) centrifuging the suspension to obtain a product and drying the product after stirring to obtain the metal cyanides. As prepared metal cyanides have broad application prospects in the fields of sensor, battery, medicine, electroplating and catalysis. This Fenton-improved cyanation (FIC) method may effectively exclude the toxicity from free cyanide anions and get rid of UV-light, being more energy-saving and more feasible for large-scale industrial production of MCs.
