| 研究実績の概要 |
Non-oxidative dehydrogenation of C2H6 is an attractive chemical process to obtain C2H4 as an essential raw material for the chemical industry accompanied with H2 production. Our group found that the In-exchanged CHA zeolite (In-CHA) catalyzed the dehydrogenation of C2H6 in high selective manner without co-feeding gas. In-CHA maintained its activity and selectivity for at least 90 h. The active In species and the reaction mechanism were also investigated based on spectroscopic and theoretical studies. DFT calculations were performed by the Vienna ab-initio simulation package (VASP) with the periodic boundary condition.The FT-IR spectrum after C2H6 treatment exhibited the band with maxima at 1720 cm-1 derived from of In－H vibrations. The frequency calculation of several In-hydride models revealed that In－H vibrations of [InH2]+ ions are in good agreement with the results of FT-IR measurements. The TS calculation of C2H6 dehydrogenation via concerted mechanism on [InH2]+ ions shows that the activation barrier (Ea) for C－H cleavage of C2H6 is estimated to be 237.5 kJ/mol. This value is similar to Ea based on kinetic studies (244 kJ/mol) and is much lower than that in the TS calculation of dehydrogenation on In+ cations (430.8 kJ/mol). From the result of FT-IR measurement and TS calculations, [InH2]+ ions are likely to be catalytically active sites rather than In+ cations for the C2H6 dehydrogenation using In-CHA.
