Abstract:
Addressing contemporary environmental and health concerns requires reducing pollutant emissions and converting them into less harmful or valuable compounds within the framework of the circular economy. Guefoam materials offer a promising solution by enabling the capture and pre-concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while facilitating the structuring of active phases for heterogeneous catalytic conversions. This study demonstrates the benefits of merging two newly designed electromagnetic induction-assisted ceramic matrix Guefoams into a portable integrated unit, synergizing the pre-concentration and chemical transformation of n-hexane, a VOC with special challenges. One Guefoam serves as an adsorbent, whereas the other plays a catalytic role. These Guefoams host guest phases, which consist of composite materials combining a steel core with magneto-inductive properties encased in a highly porous carbonaceous layer. This carbonaceous material undertakes a dual mission: adsorbing n-hexane from a nitrogen stream within the adsorptive Guefoam and, upon phosphorus doping in the catalytic Guefoam, orchestrating the metal-free selective dehydroaromatization of n-hexane into benzene. The design and integration of these novel Guefoam materials into a unified functional entity prove highly effective in pre-concentrating (enrichment factors up to 275) and catalyzing n-hexane with up to 84 % conversion and 94 % benzene selectivity while remaining energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable.

解决当代环境和健康问题需要减少污染物排放,并在循环经济框架内将其转化为危害较小或价值较小的化合物。Guefoam材料通过实现挥发性有机化合物(VOC)的捕获和预浓缩,提供了一个有前途的解决方案,同时促进多相催化转化的活性相的结构化。这项研究证明了将两个新设计的电磁感应辅助陶瓷基质Guefoam合并为便携式集成单元的好处,协同正己烷的预浓缩和化学转化,有特殊挑战的VOC。一个Guefoam作为吸附剂,而另一个起催化作用。这些Guesfopps主持客人阶段,它由复合材料组成,该复合材料将具有磁感应特性的钢芯包裹在高度多孔的碳质层中。这种含碳材料承担着双重任务:从吸附Guefoam的氮气流中吸附正己烷,在催化Guefoam中掺杂磷,将正己烷的无金属选择性脱氢芳构化为苯。这些新型Guefoam材料的设计和集成到统一的功能实体中证明在预浓缩(富集系数高达275)和催化正己烷方面非常有效,转化率高达84%,苯选择性为94%,同时保持节能和环境可持续性。
