3 INTRODUCTION The heteropoly compounds-HPCs offer good opportunities for catalysts design as result of: - the control of acidic and redox properties in a large scale of values by choosing the constituent elements of anion and countercations, - the pseudo-liquid behaviour, - the structure defined at molecular level and unique complex formation with various organic and organometallic compounds. Among HPCs, heteropoly acids (HPA) with Keggin anion structures have received considerable attention due to their simple preparation and strong acidity (Misono 1987; Kozhevnikov 1995). Specifically, 12- tungstophosphoric acid (H 3 PW 12 O 40 ), denoted as H 3 PW hereinafter, is among the most extensively studied (Misono and Nojiri 1990; Corma 1995; Okuhara et al. 1996) since it possesses the highest Brönsted acidity (Misono et al. 1982). This type of HPCs are effective catalysts in important catalytic reactions that use the renewable raw material as the bioethanol. The microstructure for acidic salts of the H 3 PW, especially with Cs, are controversial in the literature: - some authors propose a model of catalysts particles with a core of Cs 3 PW 12 O 40 coated of the H 3 PW layers; - the others sustain a homogeneous structure of the acid salts. The goal of this study was to unravel the Cs x H 3-x PW microstructure by corroboration of structure, texture and surface catalysts composition data with catalytic properties for ethanol conversion and selectivity to products reactions taking into account the type of reactions, in bulk or surface The PROJECT “CATBIOETAMETCON”, HURO 901/090/2.2.2, SEMINAR, 24-25 March,, 2011, SZEGED

4 EXPERIMENTAL ● The tungstophosphoric acid H 3 [PW 12 O 40 ]  xH 2 O (H 3 PW) was synthesized according to the methods described of J. C. Bailar(Inorg. Synth., 1, 1939, 132- 133) and M. Misono et. al. (Bul. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 55, 1982, 400-406). Na 2 HPO 4 H 2 O and Na 2 WO 4 2H 2 O were dissolved in hot distilled water, under stirring and the solution was kept at 80 o C, 2 hours. After, HCl 37% was added by dropwise. When the solution has cooled, ether was added until, after shaking, three layers remain. The lower layer was separated and it was washed with water a several times. After separation from water, the ether was evaporated by air bubbling and a precipitate was formed. When precipitate no longer smell of ether, it was dissolved in a small quantity of water. After slow water evaporation the H 3 PW crystals are obtained. 12WO 4 2- + HPO 4 2- + 23H + [PW 12 O 40 ] 3- + 12H 2 O ● The salts of H 3 PW were prepared by precipitation from an aqueous solution of the parent acid adding the required stoichiometric quantity of counter-ion salts as cesium nitrate under stirring. The pH was under 1.5 during the all syntheses. The precipitates were dried at 50 o C under stirring until a paste was obtained. After, the Cs x H 3-x PW samples were heated at 250 o C in air for nitrate anion total decomposition. The water content of all prepared heteropoly compounds was determined after their keeping in air at room temperature until constant weight was observed.

5 EXPERIMENTAL ● The thermal analyses were carried out on thermoanalyzer system Mettler TGA/SDTA 851/LF/1100. The measurements were conducted in dynamic atmosphere of synthetic air (50ml/min), using the alumina plates crucibles of 150 μl. Heating rates were 2.5-10  C min-1 and the mass samples were about 30 mg. ● The IR absorption spectra were recorded with a Jasco 430 spectrometer (spectral range 4000-400 cm -1 range, 256 scans, and resolution 2 cm -1 ) using KBr pellets. ●Powder X-ray diffraction data were obtained with a XR Fischer diffractometer using the Cu Kα radiation in the range 2θ = 5÷60 . ● Specific surface and porosity measurement by BET method were calculated from the nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, date using a Nova 1200 Quantachrome equipment. The sample was previously degassed to 10 -5 Pa at 250 0 C for 2 h. ● The Bronsted acidity of catalysts were measured by temperature programmed desorption-TPD of n-butylamine (adsorption at 373 K and desorption by increasing the temperature from 373 K to 873 K). ● The surface morphology for synthesized compounds was observed by SEM method with a Jeol JSM 6460 LV instrument equipped with an EDS analyser. The samples were heated at 523 K, 1h and then were covered with a film of Au before the measurements..

6 EXPERIMENTAL Catalytic activity for conversion of ethanol was studied by pulse reactant technique-PRT. Two micro reactors, with fixed bed of about 100 mg catalyst, connected directly to a GC with thermal conductivity detector-TCD for CO and CO 2 detection, Ar carrier gas flow of 30 cm 3 ·min -1, respectively, a GC with flame ionisation detector-FID, N 2 carrier gas flow of 30 cm 3 ·min -1, for detection of ethanol, ethylene, diethyl ether and other hydrocarbon fractions (C3-C6) were used. The reaction products were separated on the Porapak QS 80- 100 mesh packed columns, 3 m length, at 453 K for TCD-GC and with a temperature programme from 323 K to 473 K for FID-GC. The standard experimental protocol consisted of “in situ” catalysts drying, at 523 K for 1 h under flow of carrier gas, followed of six successive pulses of 3 μl liquid ethanol at 523, 573 and 623 K in the catalyst bed. For each temperature a fresh sample of catalysts was used. Catalyst characterization and catalytic activity Fig. 1. The instalation scheme for catalytic activity measurement by PRT: 1.

7 EXPERIMENTAL The powder samples were pressed into tablets with about 1 cm diameter and a few tenth of mm thickness and placed into the load lock of the spectrometer. Sample treatments were carried out in a high pressure cell (catalysis chamber) directly attached to the main chamber and isolated from that with a gate valve. The samples were transferred from the analysis chamber into the high pressure cell in high vacuum, without the reach of air. The samples were pre-treated in the same way as described above. After the pre- treatment the samples were cooled to room temperature. Afterwards the high pressure cell was evacuated and the sample was taken back to the analysis chamber. XP spectra were taken with a SPECS instrument equipped with aPHOIBOS 150 MCD 9 hemispherical electron energy analyzer operated in the FAT mode. The excitation source was the K alfa radiation of a magnesium anode (h = 1253.6 eV). The X-ray gun was operated at 180 W power (12 kV, 15 mA). The pass energy was set to 20 eV, the step size was 25 meV. To compensate for possible charging effects the binding energies were normalized with respect to the position of C (1s), this value being assumed constant at 285.1 eV. Typically five scans were added to get a single spectrum. For data acquisition and evaluation both manufacturers' (SpecsLab2) and commercial (CasaXPS) software were used.

22 Correlation of catalytic activity with Bronsted acidity The dehydration of ethanol in the presence of strong Brönsted acid sites could involve a complex series of reactions, including oligomerization, aromatization, cracking and hydrogenation. The reaction products detected by the pulse reactant technique on Cs x H 3-x PW catalysts were: methane, C2 fraction (ethylene, ethane), C3 (propene, propane), C4 (butane, butene), C5 (pentane, pentene), C6 (hexane, hexene) and diethyl ether. The aromatic compounds, as benzene, toluene and xylene, could be also present but in undetectable quantities. In plus, very small quantities of H 2 and CO were detected with GC-TCD. For the hydrocarbons formation, the selectivity to C4 fraction has the higher values and its variation function of the number of pulses show the same trends for the all hydrocarbons fractions, so, from the point of view of the our research goal the conversion of ethanol and selectivity to ethylene as main reaction product, respectively the selectivity to C4 hydrocarbon fraction will be analyzed. All the results were an average of the pulses 4-6, as the quantity of reaction products for the pulses 1-3 varies significantly and for the next pulses only the small changes were observed from one to the other. The average of values for three pulses has reduced the error of liquid sample introduction also. Typical examples of conversion and selectivities variation function of pulse number can be seen in Figure 10a,b,c.

32 CONCLUSIONS ►The higher ethanol conversion, over 95%, was observed on the Cs x H 3-x PW catalysts where x = 0; 2.0; 2.25 and 2.5. The selectivity to ethylene decreases with increasing of the selectivity to C4 hydrocarbons fraction on the catalysts with Cs content of 2-2.5, especially on the Cs 2.5 H 0.5 PW catalyst ► A model of catalysts particles as cubes or spheres consist of Cs 3 PW coated of the H 3 PW layers is proposed on the basis of: - catalytic activity; -Bronsted acidity; -specific surfaces and pores volume values; - the size of microcrystallites calculated with the Scherrer relation of X-ray diffraction spectra and SEM data of literature. ► The model explains the abrupt increase of specific surface area for content of Cs>2 and the highest catalytic selectivity at ethanol conversion for C3 and C4 hydrocarbons fractions on Cs 2.25 H 0.75 PW, respectively on Cs 2.5 H 0.5 PW. ►The XPS measurements of Cs, W, P and O concentration in the surface layers for the H 3 PW, Cs 2 H 1 PW, Cs 2.5 H 0.5 PW and Cs 3 PW has confirmed the model, the Cs concentration for acid salts Cs 1 H 2 PW, Cs 2 H 1 PW being lower than theoretical, for surface layers. The higher concentrations of W and P as the theoretical ones could be explain as a result of the lower concentration of O in the surface layers The PROJECT “CATBIOETAMETCON”, HURO 901/090/2.2.2, SEMINAR, 24-25 March 2011, SZEGED
