Liquid phase catalysis

Immobilization of catalysts is an important process design feature (see Chapter 9.9). A recent example of catalyst immobilization is the biphasic approach which seems superior to immobilization on solids, as successfully proven in the Ruhrchemie/Rhone Poulenc process for the hydro-formylation of olefins.286 Supported liquid phase catalysis was devised as a method for the immobilization of homogeneous catalysts on solids. When the liquid phase is water, a water-soluble catalyst may be physically bound to the solid.

Before the 1990s there was little in the literature on multiphasic L-L-S and L-L-L-S systems used for chemical reactions. There is, however, a relatively large volume of work done on other types of multiphasic systems related to the present topic supported liquid-phase catalysis (SL-PC), and gas liquid phase transfer Catalysis (GL-PTC). The common denominator in both cases is the presence of an interfacial liquid layer of a hydrophilic compound between the catalyst and the bulk of the reaction.

Selective oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde was carried out over carbon-supported Pd and Pt membrane catalysts.1322 The concept of supported liquid-phase catalysis was also successfully applied in the Wacker oxidation.1323 The Wacker reaction can be performed in alcohol-supercritical C02.1324 C02 as cosolvent accelerates reaction rates and remarkably affects the selectivity towards methyl ketone in the presence of an alcohol.

For chemical processes requiring heterogeneous catalysts a high density of surface exposed active sites in a given reactor volume is desirable. This can be achieved by using porous materials, either as catalysts or as supports for small clusters of a catalytic material. For catalytic processes with large molecules, the pore dimensions are of interest in particular, for liquid phase catalysis multidimensional pore with diameters exceeding 2.0nm may be required. 

Vapors containing alkali metal species have diverse implications to high temperature processes (1 ). Potential new applications of alkalies in combustion systems include—their vapor phase catalytic action in smoke reduction (2, 3), their liquid phase catalysis of coal gasification (4), and their role as electron sources for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) combustion systems (3). In most combustion systems, however, their presence is undesirable. This is particularly true in fossil energy systems.
