The department was established in October 2000 and included researchers of the departments of heterogeneous catalysis, ecological catalysis and catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons. Today, the department employs doctors of sciences and candidates of sciences who are pupils of the famous Ukrainian school of catalysis, created by Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine V.A. Roiter and his followers (Corresponding Member of NASU V.M. Vlasenko, Prof. G.P. Korniychuk, Prof. V.Y. Volfson, Prof. V.M. Belousov).

Among the department’s achievements is the creation of a new generation of structured catalysts for environmental catalysis and hydrogen energy processes, in particular, for two-stage exhaust gas purification technology for internal combustion engines (soot filters with catalytic coating) and effective catalysts for three-component transformations (СО/СnHm/NOx), for combined natural gas reforming (methane and its С2-С4 homologues), nickel-alumina catalysts modified by oxides of rare earth elements for the tri-reforming of methane.

As a result of application of the developed approaches concerning bifunctionality of catalysts, for multistage processes the highly productive oxide and zeolite catalysts of the 1,3-butadiene production from ethanol are developed. The principle possibility of heterogeneous-catalytic sequential Guerbet condensation at atmospheric pressure in a flow reactor like ethanol→1-butanol→2-ethyl-1-hexanol is shown, which will allow one to obtain 2-ethylhexanol (an important substrate in the processes of obtaining plasticizers, surfactants and additives to lubricants and oils) from ethanol.

The main results of the research are summarized in separate chapters of collective monographs and review articles.

The main areas of research

• Development of scientific bases for the creation of the newest redox processes of environmental catalysis, hydrogen energy and processes for obtaining of valuable products from renewable raw materials;
• Structural and functional design of catalysts for neutralization of technogenic gas emissions from mobile and stationary sources (СО, NOx, CnHm, О3), catalytic combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, conversion of greenhouse gases (СО2, СН4, N2O), catalysts for tandem processes of obtaining industrially important dienes from С2, С4-bioalcohols;
• Kinetics and mechanism of redox reactions involving carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, hydrocarbons, oxygenates.

The most important results in recent years

•  Scientific approaches to the development of bifunctional catalysts for multistage ethanol conversion processes to obtain butadiene have been developed. As a result of elucidation of the influence of the components of oxide MxOy-SiO2 (M = Mg, Zn, Zr, La) and zeolite Ta/SiBEA systems on acid-base properties of the surface, selective high-performance catalysts for the production of 1,3-butadiene from ethanol were developed. The catalyst with a composition of 2%ZnO/6%La/1%ZrO2-SiO2 for selective (up to 70%) conversion of ethanol and ethanol-aqueous mixtures into 1,3-butadiene with high productivity is a superior to other known analogues in terms of performance and stability.

The principal possibility of heterogeneous catalytic conversion ethanol → 1-butanol → 2-ethyl-1-hexanol via Guerbet reaction at atmospheric pressure in a flow reactor is shown. It will allow one to obtain 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, an important substrate for plasticizers, surfactants, additives to lubricants and oils, from ethanol. The highest yield of С4, С8 alcohols is achieved in the presence of Mg-Al(-Ce) oxide catalysts (Mg/Al = 2/1), due to the optimal ratio of acid and basic sites on their surface. Regulation of acid-base surface characteristics by partial substitution of calcium with magnesium in the hydroxyapatite catalyst Mg-HAP (confirmed by XRD, SEM, XPS, IRS) provides an increase in selectivity of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol formation in the Guerbet condensation of С2,4-alcohols to 62% (at 300⁰C).

It have been developed the effective structured catalysts for the reduction of nitrogen oxides in oxygen-containing gas emissions by reducing agents of different chemical nature: selective reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (I), (II) with С1-С4-hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide over CoхOу/(НZSM5–Al2O3)/cordierite, CoO/ZrO2/kaolinoaerosil, Pd/Со3О4-CeO2/cordierite and selective reduction of nitrogen oxides with С2,С4-alcohols over Ag/Al2O3/cordierite, which are better than foreign analogues.

The nanocomposite oxide catalysts Mn, (La, Sr, Ba)/ Al2O3, (ZrO2), spinel structures МеFe2O4 (Me Mn, Co, Ni) formed on the surface of structured carriers of cordierite and kaolin-aerosil for flameless catalytic combustion (deep oxidation) of hydrocarbon fuels are developed. The catalysts provide 80-100% conversion of methane to СО2 and can be used in catalytic heat generators, as well as the systems for catalytic purification of exhaust gases from methane impurities and С2-С4 homologues.

Structured nickel-alumina catalysts modified with oxides of rare earth elements (La, Ce) – Ni/(CeO2,La2O3)/Al2O3/cordierite have been developed. The combined reforming (oxy-vapour conversion) of natural gas (methane and its С2-С4 homologues) and the process of tri-reforming of methane (TRM) as a synergistic combination of steam and carbon dioxide reforming with partial oxidation of methane is performed. This process provides a stable TRM with high conversions of СН4 and СО2, adjustable ratio H2/CO (1.4–2.5) in synthesis gas and thermal regime of the process, including the ability to carry out the process in autothermal (thermoneutral) mode.

The developed approaches to the structurally sensitive reaction of deep oxidation of methane were used in the study of oxidative reforming processes on prototypes of anode materials of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) in direct conversion of hydrocarbon fuels. The influence of transition metal oxides (Cu, Co, Ni, Ce) and platinum group metals (Pt, Pd, Rh) in the composition of composites based on yttrium-(scandium)-stabilized zirconium dioxide on their catalytic properties (sulphur resistance) and resource characteristics (heat resistance, tendency to carbonization, stability) in methane oxidation reactions was clarified. The high activity of composites (75–99% methane conversion in the temperature range of 600–800 °С) correlates with the amount and mobility of surface oxygen in them. The promoting effect of platinum group metals in the composite PMG-CuО-NiО/(YSZ+CeO2) depends on the reaction medium (stoichiometry of partial or deep methane oxidation, the presence of sulphur dioxide). 

Ni-containing composites based on 10Sc1CeSZ, as prototypes of anodic materials of fuel cells, showed high activity and stability in the processes of oxidative reforming of С1, С4 alkanes (tri-reforming of methane and steam reforming of butane), which simulate electrochemical oxidation of hydrocarbon. Modification of Ni-10Sc1CeSZ composite Cu and CeO2 increases its resistance to carbonization. Modification with additives Pt and Pd (0.1% wt.) increases resistance to the deactivating effect of H2S. The activity and resource characteristics of the developed block catalysts of honeycomb structure Ni-(CeO2, La2O3)-Al2O3/cordierite do not concede to other known industrial catalysts (HT R 67 and ICI 57-7). The catalysts can be applied in the processes of oxidative reforming of hydrocarbon reformer-heat exchanger to increase the efficiency of ceramic fuel cells.

Structured metal oxide catalysts Cu-ZnO-MxOy/Al2O3/cordierite (M: Ce, La, Ni, Mg) have been developed for methanol reforming processes with hydrogen production (decomposition, oxygen and steam conversion, combined reforming), which provide hydrogen yield >90%→100%. The influence of modifying additives of cerium, lanthanum and nickel oxides in the decomposition reaction of CH3OH, influence of magnesium oxide and the ratio of СН3ОН/Н2О reagents in the processes of steam and oxy-steam conversion of methanol is substantiated. Recommendations for improving methanol reforming catalysts are given.

A method for methyl acetate producing by combining vapor-phase reactions of methanol decomposition (CO generation) and subsequent carbonylation over CuO-NiO-ZnO/Al2O3/cordierite and NiCl2-CuCl2/AC (or cordierite) catalysts is proposed. The implementation of the tandem process lays in a combination of vapor-phase reactions decomposition and carbonylation of methanol in the presence of two catalysts placed in series-connected reactors or a reactor with two temperature zones. It provides the production of methyl acetate in the absence of carbon monoxide in the initial reaction mixture. The yield and productivity of methyl acetate in the tandem process are 13–16.5% and 4.2–11.5 gMeOAc⋅kg-1cath-1.
