The study of the active surface for CO oxidation over supported Pd catalysts

CO oxidation was investigated on various powder oxide supported Pd catalysts by temperature-programmed reaction.The pre-reduced catalysts show significantly higher activities than the pre-oxidized ones.Model studies were performed to better understand the oxidation state,reactivities and stabilities of partially oxidized Pd surfaces under CO oxidation reaction conditions using an in situ infrared reflection absorption spectrometer(IRAS).Three O/Pd(100)model surfaces,chemisorbed oxygen covered surface,surface oxide and bulk-like surface oxide,were prepared and characterized by low-energy electron diffraction(LEED)and Auger electron spectroscopy(AES).The present work demonstrates that the oxidized palladium surface is less active for CO oxidation than the metallic surface,and is unstable under the reaction conditions with sufficient CO.     

CO oxidation on supported platinum group metal(PGM) based nanoalloys

The oxidation of carbon monoxide is widely investigated for realistic and potential uses in energy production and environmental processes.As a probe reaction to the surface properties,it gives an insight into the relationship between the structure of active phase and catalytic performance.Noble metals alloyed with certain transition metals in the form of a nanoalloy exhibit enhanced catalytic activity for various reactions,especially when simultaneous activation of oxygen and CO is involved.This article highlights some of these insights into nanoalloy catalysts in which platinum group metal(PGM)is alloyed with a second and/or third transition metal(M/M′=Co,Fe,V,Ni,Ir,etc.),for catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide in a gas phase.Recent studies have provided important insights into how the atomic-scale structures of the nanoalloy catalysts operate synergistically in activating oxygen and maneuvering surface oxygenated species.The exploration of atomic-scale chemical/structural ordering and coordination in correlation with the catalytic oxidation properties based on findings from ex-and in-situ synchrotron X-ray techniques is emphasized;for example,high-energy X-ray diffraction coupled to atomic-pair distribution function and X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopic analysis.The understanding of the detailed active sites of the nanoalloys has significant implications for the design of low-cost,active,and durable catalysts for sustainable energy production and environmental processes.     

Carbon dioxide reforming of methane on monolithic Ni/Al2O3-based catalysts

Nickel-alumina catalysts supported on cordierite monoliths of honeycomb structure surpass essentially the conventional granulated ones with respect to the output in carbon dioxide reforming of methane. Adjusting the surface acid-base properties of catalysts by introduction of alkali metal (Na, K) oxides inhibits the carbonization and as a result, improves the operational stability of these catalysts. An effect of promotion of nickel-alumina based composite doped by lanthanum oxide is found. This effect, caused by an additional route for the CO2 activation on Ni-La2O3/Al2O3/cordierite catalyst, is displayed in increase of methane conversion under conditions of an oxidant excess.     

A Review on Complete Oxidation of Methane at Low Temperatures

This paper reviews recent developments in complete oxidation of methane at low temperatures over noble metal catalysts in the past 20 years. The Pd/A1203 catalyst system is fully discussed. The review mainly focuses on the kinetic aspects of methane oxidation over this catalyst, and methane activation behavior over Pd and PdO phases (the form of PdO on the surface, transient behavior, the nature of the active sites, the influence of metal particle size and their structure sensitivities, and so on). Some Pd catalysts supported on other oxides besides the Al2O3 support are briefly discussed. Possible routes of non-noble metal catalysts as substitutes for the Pd catalyst are also proposed.     

Heterogeneous catalytic partial oxidation of lower alkanes(C_1–C_6) on mixed metal oxides

This review paper aims at analysing the state of the art for partial oxidation and oxidative dehydrogenation(ODH) reactions of lower alkanes C_1–C_6into olefins and oxygenated products(aldehydes, anhydrides,carboxylic acids) on metal oxide catalysts with cations of variable oxidation state, such as Mo and V in particular. Key parameters to be met by the catalysts, such as their redox properties, their structural aspects, active sites composed of ensembles of atoms isolated one from the others, mechanisms of reactions, are discussed. Main features of the different reactions of C_1–C_6alkanes and catalysts are analysed and their generalisation for determining more active and more selective catalysts is attempted. Prospective views for the future of the domain are proposed.     

Perovskite LaFeO3 supported bi-metal catalyst for syngas methanation

LaFeO3 perovskite supported Ni and Ni-Fe catalysts were prepared and applied to methanation reaction of syngas.Two preparation methods were employed.One was one-step citrate complexing method,and the other was a two step method using citrate complexing method to produce LaFeO3 and followed by loading nickel oxide on it with impregnation.The structure evolution of the sample as prepared was investigated by XRD,TPR and TEM techniques.For the former,the chemical composites of the calcined sample are NiO-Fe2O3/LaFe1-xNix O3.After reduction and reaction of CO methanation,its composites convert to Fe-Ni@Ni/LaFeO3-La2O2CO3,in which Fe-Ni@Ni is metal particles in nano-size composed of nickel core and Fe-Ni alloy shell.For the latter,the chemical composites of the calcined sample are NiO/LaFeO3; and after reduction and reaction of CO methanation,its chemical composites change to Ni/LaFeO3.Ni/LaFeO3 catalyst is a little more active, while Fe-Ni@Ni/LaFeO3-La2O2CO3 is much more stable and shows very good resistance to carbon deposition.In this work it is aimed to show that the structure and composites of the catalysts can be tailored using perovskite-type oxide as precursor prepared with different methods and conditions.Therefore,it is a promising route to prepare supported bi-metal catalysts in nano-size for a lot of metals with desired catalytic performances.     

Effects of preparation conditions of Au/FeOx/Al203 catalysts prepared by a modified two-step method on the stability for CO oxidation

Composite oxide FeO x /Al 2 O 3 -supported gold catalysts were prepared by a modified two-step method. The effects of preparation conditions on the initial catalytic activity and long-time stability were studied for CO oxidation. XRD, XPS and in situ FTIR were employed to investigate the state of FeO x and the species on the catalyst surface. The results showed that Au/FeO x /Al 2 O 3 catalysts prepared by this method exhibited high activity and high stability in a wide pH value range. Calcination pretreatment was proved to be beneficial to improving the activity and stability. The beneficial effects of FeO x acting as a structural promoter could be ascribed to the ability to supply active oxygen species. As the precursor of FeO x , Fe(NO 3 ) 3 is superior to FeCl 3 for obtaining higher stability.     

Effects of oxidation pretreatment temperature on Kovar used as CO_2 reforming catalyst

The effect of oxidation pretreatment temperature(500 ~ 1 000 ℃) on the catalytic activity of Kovar applied on hydrocarbon CO2reforming was examined. Catalytic performance evaluation using tetradecane at 800 ℃ with 70 μmol/s CO2revealed 700 and 1 000 ℃ as the best pre-oxidation temperature in producing CO and H2,respectively. XRD and SEM-EDX analyses showed that a separate metal oxide layer composed of iron oxide(Fe2O3and F3O4),nickel,cobalt,and possibly their respective oxides started to form when oxidation was conducted at 700 ℃ or higher.The presence of iron enhanced the stability of nickel in the structure while the compact structure of Fe3O4resulted into the formation of a thick and rigid metal oxide layer on the surface of the Kovar tube. The strong physical bond between the metal oxide layer and Kovar tube provided the catalyst good mechanical strength and consequently good catalytic activity.     

Tailoring the surface structure of iron compounds to optimize the selectivity of 3-nitrostyrene hydrogenation reaction over Pt catalyst

Selective hydrogenation of substituted nitroarenes is an important reaction to obtain amines.Supported metal catalysts are wildly used in this reaction because the surface structure of supports can tune the properties of the supported metal nanoparticles （NPs） and promote the selectivity to amines.Herein,Pt NPs were immobilized on Fe OOH,Fe₃O₄andα-Fe₂O₃nanorods to synthesize a series of iron compounds supported Pt catalysts by liquid phase reduction me...     

Studies on the Performance and Structure of Supported Catalysts for the Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas

The catalytic properties of several supported metal catalysts on different carriers were studied in the partial oxidation of methane (POM) to syngas. In our experiment, supported noble metal catalysts exhibited better performance than the other supported transition metal catalysts. The catalyst performances were significantly influenced by the d-electron configuration of the active metal components and the dispersion of active metal components on the support. A catalyst with a moderate number of unpaired electrons in the d-orbital of the active metal support without obvious acidity or redox activity (e.g. MgO) was suitable for POM performance. The Rh/SiO2 catalyst was the best in the POM reaction, among those investigated. Reaction conditions apparently also affected the POM performance of the catalyst. The conversion of methane and the selectivity for CO increased with the reaction temperature, and a high CH4/O2 ratio was not beneficial for POM performance.     

Effect of Ni Loading and Reaction Conditions on Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas

The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas is studied in this paper over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts under atmospheric pressure. The effects of Ni loading on the activity and stability of catalysts with 5 mm α-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3 pellets as supports were measured in a continuous fixed bed reactor. It is found that the optimum Ni loading is 10%. And the effect of reaction conditions on partial oxidation of methane is also studied. The methane conversion and CO selectivity increase with the increase of the reaction temperature and the space velocity on 10%Ni/α-Al2O3 catalysts. The best CH4/O2 mole ratio is 2 for CO selectivity, and the optimum space velocity is 5.4x105 h-1.     

铂基催化剂用于柴油烃氧化

The catalytic performance of Pt-based catalysts for the total oxidation of hydrocarbons was investigated.The activity of supported Pt catalysts(Pt/Al2O3,Pt/ZrO2,Pt/TiO2,and Pt/H-ZSM-5)depends on the metal oxide support.Pt/Al2O3 showed the highest catalytic activity when the catalysts were aged at 750°C for 50 h in air.The activity of Pt/Al2O3 was dependent on the valence state of the Pt surface.Pt/Al2O3 with the Pt surface in the metallic state was more active than with the surface in the cationic state.The surface density of acid and basic sites on the Al2O3 support controlled the valence state of the Pt surface and stability of the Pt particles in the highly dispersed state,respectively.     

Autothermal Reforming of Methane over Ni Catalysts Supported on CuO-ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3

Ni catalysts supported on various mixed oxides of Al2O3 with rare earth oxide and transitional metal oxides were synthesized. The studies focused on the measurement of the autothermal reforming of methane to hydrogen over Ni catalysts supported on the mixed oxide ZrxCe30-xAl70Oδ (x=5, 10, 15). The catalytic performance of Ni/Zr10Ce20Al70Oδ was better than that of other catalysts. XRD results showed that the addition of Zr to Ni/Ce30Al70Oδ prevented the formation of NiAl2O4 and facilitated the dispersion of NiO. Effects of CuO addition to Zr10Ce20Al70Oδ were also investigated. The activity of Ni catalyst supported on CuO-ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 was somewhat affected and the Ni/Cu5Zr10Ce20Al65Oδ showed the best catalytic performance with the highest CH4 conversion, yield of H2, selectivity for H2 and H2/CO production ratio in operation temperatures ranging from 650 to 750℃.     

Meso-macroporous Al2O3 supported Ru catalysts for CO preferential oxidation in hydrogen-rich gases

Series of meso-macroporous Al2O3 supported Ru catalysts with different loadings were prepared by incipient wetness method and applied to preferential oxidation of CO in hydrogen-rich gases. N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, XRD, TEM, CO chemisorption and H2 -TPR techniques were employed to characterize the catalysts. The results indicate that Ru/Al2O3 catalysts have meso-macroporous structure, high surface area and high metal dispersion. The characterization results of XRD and CO chemisorption indicate the entry of Ru ions into Al2O3 lattice. The results of catalytic performance tests indicate that the meso-macroporous Al2O3 supported Ru catalysts for CO preferential oxidation showed good activity under high space velocity. It is proposed that the macropores in the Ru/Al2O3 catalyst favor mass transfer and mesopores help to improve the dispersion of metal, resulting in the excellent catalytic performance.

Screening of MgO- and CeO_2-Based Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Oxidative Coupling of Methane to C_(2+) Hydrocarbons

The catalyst screening tests for carbon dioxide oxidative coupling of methane (CO2-OCM) have been investigated over ternary and binary metal oxide catalysts. The catalysts are prepared by doping MgO- and CeO2-based solids with oxides from alkali (Li2O), alkaline earth (CaO), and transition metal groups (WO3 or MnO). The presence of the peroxide (O2-2) active sites on the Li2O2, revealed by Raman spectroscopy, may be the key factor in the enhanced performance of some of the Li2O/MgO catalysts. The high reducibility of the CeO2 catalyst, an important factor in the CO2-OCM catalyst activity, may     

Screening of MgO——and Ce02-Based Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Oxidative Coupling of Methane to C2＋ Hydrocarbons

The catalyst screening tests for carbon dioxide oxidative coupling of methane (CO2-OCM)have been investigated over ternary and binary metal oxide catalysts.The catalysts are prepared by doping MgO-and CeO2-based solids with oxides from alkali(Li2O),alkaline earth (CaO),and transition metal groups (WO3 or MnO).The presence of the peroxide (O2^2-)active sites on the Li2O2,revealed by Raman spectroscopy,may be the key factor in the enhanced performance of some of the Li2O/MgO catalysts.The high reducibility of the CeO2 catalyst,an important factor in the CO2-OCM catalyst activity,may be enhanced by the presence of manganese oxide species. The manganese oxide species increases oxygen mobitity and oxygen vacancies in the CeO2 catalyst.raman and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR)spectroscopies revealed the presence of lattice vibrations of metal-oxygen bondings and active sites in which the peaks carresponding to the buld crystalline structures of Li2O,CaO,WO2 and MnO are detected.The performance of 5%MnO/15?O/CeO2 catalyst is the most potential among the CeO2-based catalysts,although lower than the 2%Li2O/MgO catalyst.The 2%Li2O/MgO catalyst showed the most promising C2 hydrocarbons selectivity and yield at 98.0%and 5.7%,respectively.     

Study on Chemisorption, Catalytic Behavior, and Stability of Supported Au Catalyst for the Propylene Epoxidation Reaction

The supported Au/TiO2 and Au/TiO2-SiO2 catalysts were prepared by deposition precipitation method. The TPD study reveals that propylene oxide competes with propylene to be adsorbed on the same adsorptive center-Tin site on the surface of the catalyst and that the adsorbing capacity of the catalyst for propylene oxide is larger than that for propylene. Catalytic behavior for propylene epoxidation with H2 and O2 was tested in a micro-reactor. Under typical conditions, the selectivity for propylene oxide is over 87%. The TG curves show that PO successive oxidation cause carbon deposition on the active center and deactivation of the Au catalysts. Because the amounts of Tin site decrease significantly, and consequently the separation between Tin sites increases, the Au/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst is more stable than Au/TiO2.     

Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas Using LatticeOxygen of La_(1-x)Sr_xFeO_3 Perovskite OxideCatalysts Instead of Molecular Oxygen

Catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas using the lattice oxygen of La1-xSrxFeO3 perovskite oxide catalysts in place of molecular oxygen was studied. La1-xSrxFeO3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5) perovskite oxides were prepared by the "auto-combustion method". XRD analysis showed that all La1-xSrxFeO3 samples have a single-phase perovskite-type oxide. The redox properties of the catalysts were investigated by temperature programmed reduction with hydrogen (H2-TPR). Reducibility of the catalysts increase with the increasing of the Sr2+ content. The oxygen species of the catalysts and their reaction with CH4 were studied by the temperature programmed surface reaction (CH4-TPSR). In the absence of gas phase oxygen, there exist two kinds of oxygen species on the catalysts. One kind of the oxygen species with strong oxidative ability is produced first, which can oxidize CH4 completely to CO2 and H2O. Then, the second oxygen species with weak oxidative ability is formed, which can oxidize CH4 partially to CO and     

Complete oxidation of ethanol over vanadium based catalysts

V2O5/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalysts were prepared by the mixing sol-gel and co-impregnation method. The performance of the catalysts for complete oxidation of ethanol was performed in a conventional fixed-bed quartz reactor. And the effects of support, preparation methods and vanadium content have been investigated. The results showed that 5% V2O5 catalyst supported on γ-Al2O3-TiO2 possessed the best ethanol conversion under the considered temperature. This may be ascribed to the highly dispersible active component, mutual function between the active component and the carriers. The nature of the best performance for 5%V/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalyst may be related to the high V4+ amounts on the surface. And the surface V4+ species may play an important role in the formation of active site for the total ethanol oxidation.
