A combinatorial approach is used to investigate several bimetallic catalytic systems and the promoter effect on these catalysts to develop highly active and selective catalysts for direct epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide (PO) using molecular oxygen. 2%Cu/5%Ru/c-SiO2 catalyst yielded the highest performance with high propylene conversion and PO selectivity among the bimetallic catalytic systems including silver, ruthenium, manganese and copper metals. On the other hand, the most effective catalyst and promoter in the epoxidation reaction was determined to be sodium chloride promoted Cu-Ru catalyst supported over SiO2 with 36% selectivity & 9.6% conversion (3.46% yield) at 300 degrees C and 0.5 feed gas ratio (propylene/oxygen).

NaCl-Promoted CuO-RuO2/SiO2 Catalysts for Propylene Epoxidation with O-2 at Atmospheric Pressures: A Combinatorial Micro-reactor Study Kalyoncu, Sule; Duzenli, Derya; Önal, Işık; Seubsai, Anusorn; Noon, Daniel; Senkan, Selim; Say, Zafer; Vovk, Evgeny I.; ÖZENSOY, EMRAH (2015-02-01) A combinatorial approach is used to investigate several alkali metals promoted Cu-Ru binary oxide catalysts with improved catalytic performance in the propylene partial oxidation. 2 %Cu/5 %Ru/c-SiO2 catalyst had the best yield with high propylene conversion and propylene oxide (PO) selectivity. Among the promoters screening in the study, NaCl promotion significantly increased the PO selectivity accompanied by some attenuation in the total propylene conversion. It was proposed that binary oxide catalysts rev...
Epoxidation of Propene by High-Throughput Screening Method Over Combinatorially Prepared Cu Catalysts Supported on High and Low Surface Area Silica Duzenli, Derya; ŞEKER, EROL; Senkan, Selim; Önal, Işık (2012-10-01) Gas phase epoxidation of propene using molecular oxygen was studied by use of a high-throughput testing technique. A large number of catalysts including promoted and un-promoted Cu were synthesized in a much faster combinatorial fashion using a sol-gel method. Metal catalysts supported on high and low surface area silica were tested and ranked in a high-throughput activity and selectivity testing apparatus at different experimental conditions such as reaction temperature and reactant gas ratio. The amount o...
Selective oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using combinatorial methodologies Miyazaki, T; Ozturk, S; Onal, I; Senkan, S (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-30) Direct oxidation of propylene by oxygen to propylene oxide (PO) has been studied through the application of the techniques of combinatorial catalysis. Catalytic materials containing single and binary metal components were prepared by impregnating standard gamma-Al2O3 pellets. In the first stage, 34 single component catalytic materials at three different metal loading levels were prepared and screened for PO activity and selectivity using array channel microreactors and mass spectrometry. Experiments were co...
Epoxidation of Propylene on a [Ag14O9] Cluster Representing Ag2O (001) Surface: A Density Functional Theory Study Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2012-01-01) Density functional theory calculations were employed to study partial oxidation of propylene on a [Ag14O9] cluster representing Ag2O (001) surface for which positive effect for ethylene oxide formation has been reported in our earlier work at the same level of theory (Fellah et al., Catal Lett 141: 762, 2011). Propylene oxide (PO), propanal, acetone and G-allyl radical formation reaction mechanisms were investigated. P-allyl formation path and two propylene adsorption paths resulting in PO formation are com...
Catalytic reaction of propylene to propylene oxide on various catalysts Kalyoncu, Şule; Önal, Işık; Şeker, Erol; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) Throughout this thesis work, various catalysts were investigated with combinational approach to develop highly active and selective novel catalysts for direct epoxidation of propylene to PO using molecular oxygen. The promoted and un-promoted silver (Ag), copper (Cu), ruthenium (Ru), manganese (Mn) mono and multimetallic catalytic systems over different silica supports were prepared via sol-gel method and incipient wetness method. In addition to support effect, the effects of different promoters on the cata...
