Study on Methanethiol Synthesis from H2S-Rich Syngas Over K2MoO4 Catalyst Supported on Electrolessly Ni-Plated SiO2

Abstract

Small amount of Nickel deposited on SiO2 support by electroless plating was verified to have a significant promoting effect on the catalytic performance of the K2MoO4/SiO2 catalyst for methanethiol synthesis from H2S-rich synthesis gas. The addition of Nickel was found to be in favor of the suppression of the CO2 formation. The results of BET, TPR and Raman characterizations for the Ni-modified SiO2 and the catalyst K2MoO4/Ni-SiO2 showed that the surface properties of Ni-modified SiO2 were similar to those of unmodified SiO2 and that no Raman characteristic band specific to NiO from the catalyst K2MoO4/Ni-SiO2 was detected. For oxidic K2MoO4/Ni-SiO2 catalyst lower reduction temperature was measured. For sulfided catalysts, reduced molybdenum oxides and oxysulfides were detected, which was inferred to be closely related to high catalytic activity of the catalyst.GmbH (Germany

Inhibitor, Co-Catalyst, or Co-Reactant? Probing the Different Roles of H2S during CO2 Hydrogenation on the MoS2 Catalyst

“…Promoted , and unpromoted MoS 2 are the active and stable catalysts for the WGS reaction in the presence of H 2 S. Moreover, K-MoS 2 has been utilized to synthesize CH 3 SH from CO + H 2 + H 2 S mixture − and for the production of alcohols from syngas . CO is a vital platform chemical for the production of methanol or long-chain hydrocarbon via Fischer–Tropsch synthesis.…”

Catalytic methyl mercaptan coupling to ethylene in chabazite: DFT study of the first C C bond formation

“…Baltrusaitis et al [26] proposed conversion of a CH 4 + H 2 S mixture into CH 3 SH and H 2 using light of a low wavelength (205 nm), potentially overcoming the large barrier for H 3 C H bond breaking via conical intersection related relaxation. Syngas in the presence of H 2 S has been converted to CH 3 SH [34][35][36], and the same has been achieved using CO + H 2 S mixtures [37,38]. Finally, Barrault et al [39] showed selective transformations of both CO and CO 2 in the presence of H 2 S and H 2 to CH 3 SH over K promoted WO 3 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst.…”

Catalytic synthesis of methanethiol from methanol and carbon disulfide over KW/Al2O3 catalysts

“…In the past 20 years, the reaction routes for the formation of methanethiol mainly include CH 3 OH-H 2 S reaction method [1][2][3][4], H 2 S-containing synthesis gas conversion method [5][6][7][8], CH 3 SCH 3 -H 2 S conversion method [9][10][11], and COS-H 2 S-H 2 conversion method [12,13] and so on.…”
