Research themes

Selective oxidation of alkanes:
  • Optimization of catalytic performances (conversion, selectivity) by redox decoupling: catalytic dense membrane reactor, periodic feed reactor (chemical looping)
  • Catalytic wall reactor and structured reactors development

 

Current research

My research activity is in the "heterogeneous catalysis" department and more specifically in the VAALBIO team (VAlorization of ALkanes and Biomass). It is based on an approach integrating the development of catalytic materials and that of their implementation in original reactors for the upgrading of hydrocarbons through selective oxidation.

The principle of redox decoupling in selective oxidation catalysis has been implemented in catalytic dense membrane reactors and periodic feed reactors.


The development of catalytic dense membrane reactors has been the subject of a "transversal project" within the UCCS. It involved the study of the catalytic properties of dense membranes based on BiMeVOx or other oxide (O2-) oxide conductive materials for the selective oxidation of alkanes (CH4, C2H6, C3H8) or olefins (C2H4, C3H6). Using a reactor whose catalyst is shaped into a dense membrane (RCMD) makes it possible to decouple the two steps of the redox mechanism if the catalytic membrane is conducting by oxygen ion (O2-) and semiconductor n or p by exposing each face of the membrane to one of the reagents (hydrocarbon and oxidant). The objective was to promote the selectivity of the catalytic material by optimizing the use of the oxygen of the solid network. This work led to the defense of 2 PhD thesis (H. Bodet, 2007 and C. Kongmark, 2010) and 11 publications.

 

The use of a periodic feed reactor is an alternative for forcing the redox decoupling of a catalytic system. This mode of operation is commonly called "chemical looping". In this field, my work has mainly focused on the dry reforming of methane for the production of synthesis gas. This work is part of the development of unconventional sources of methane and in particular biogas. More recently, this operating principle has been extended to the selective oxidation of hydrogen sulphide for purification of biogas and / or natural gas. This work led to a PhD thesis (J. Guerrero, 2015) and another thesis is in progress as well as 2 publications and 2 patent applications.

Structured catalytic reactors are particularly interesting for carrying out exothermic reactions because the heat and mass transfers are better controlled than in conventional fixed bed reactors. Each catalyst / substrate / reaction system is a special case requiring a thorough study of the conditions of preparation, characterization and implementation. Among the systems studied, a V2O5 / TiO2 catalyst, whose applications in controlled oxidation of hydrocarbons (or in selective reduction of NOx) are well known, has been deposited on stainless steel surfaces or structures (metal plates / foams). This work has revealed certain disadvantages, in particular the migration of chemical species (in particular iron) from the substrate to the catalytic surface, which have necessitated the development of novel methods for producing catalytic coatings. Despite the complexity of the systems, we have been able to highlight their interest in improving the selectivity of structured reactors for propane ODH. This work led to the defense of two PhD theses (T. Giornelli, 2004 and A. Essakhi, 2012) and nine publications. 

 

In addition, numerous works have been carried out in "conventional" catalysis, mainly for the valorization of alkanes by selective oxidation and dry reforming. This work is the result of collaborations either internal to the UCCS or national and international.
