Mechanistic study of Ce-modified MnO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalysts with high NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>-SCR performance and SO<Subscript>2</Subscript> resistance at low temperatures

A series of Ce–MnO _x /TiO₂ catalysts were prepared using a novel sol–gel template method and investigated for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH₃ at temperatures ranging from 353 to 473 K. The 0.07Ce–MnO _x /TiO₂ catalyst showed the highest activity and best resistance to SO₂ poisoning. The structure and properties of the catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermogravimetry (TG)–differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)–mass spectroscopy (MS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurements, H₂-temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and NH₃-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). The superior catalytic activity of the 0.07Ce–MnO _x /TiO₂ catalyst was probably due to a change in the active components, an increase in surface active oxygen and surface acid sites, and lower crystallinity and larger surface area with Ce doping. Furthermore, the reduction ability also became stronger. The SO₂ poisoning resistance of the 0.07Ce–MnO _x /TiO₂ catalyst improved because doping with Ce can effectively decrease the formation of ammonium salt on the catalyst surface and the sulfation of MnO _x . In situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier-transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy experiments indicated that addition of Ce could promote adsorption of NH₃ and inhibit generation of some nitryl species. The SCR reactions over the catalysts mainly followed the Eley–Rideal mechanism accompanied with a partial Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism.     

Study of Fe-doped V<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript>/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalyst for an enhanced NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>-SCR in diesel exhaust aftertreatment

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with ammonia has been considered as the most promising technology, as its effect deals with the NO_X. Novel Fe-doped V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by sol–gel and impregnation methods. The effects of iron content and reaction temperature on the catalyst SCR reaction activity were explored by a test device, the results of which revealed that catalysts could exhibit the best catalytic activity when the iron mass ratio was 0.05%. It further proved that the VTiFe (0.05%) catalyst performed the best in denitration and its NO_X conversion reached 99.5% at 270 °C. The outcome of experimental procedures: Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction and adsorption (H₂-TPR, NH₃-TPD) techniques showed that the iron existed in the form of Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ and the superior catalytic performance was attributed to the highly dispersed active species, lots of surface acid sites and absorbed oxygen. The modified Fe-doped catalysts do not only have terrific SCR activities, but also a rather broad range of active temperature which also enhances the resistance to SO₂ and H₂O.     

Promoted porous Co<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> catalysts for ammonia decomposition

Transition metal catalysts have been considerably used for NH₃ decomposition because of the potential application in CO_x-free H₂ generation for fuel cells. However, most transition metal catalysts prepared via traditional synthetic approaches performed the inferior stability due to the agglomeration of active components. Here, we adopted an efficient method, aerosol-assisted self-assembly approach (AASA), to prepare the optimized cobalt-alumina (Co₃O₄-Al₂O₃) catalysts. The Co₃O₄-Al₂O₃ catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the NH3 decomposition reaction, which can reach 100% conversion at 600 °C and maintain stable for 72 h at a gaseous hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 18000 cm³ g_cat^?1 h^?1. The catalysts were characterized by various techniques including transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen sorption, temperature-programmed reduction by hydrogen (H₂-TPR), ex-situ/in-situ Raman and ex-situ/in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) to obtain the information about the structure and property of the catalysts. H₂-TPR and in-situ XRD results show that there is strong interaction between the cobalt and alumina species, which influences the redox properties of the catalysts. It is found that even a low content of alumina (10 at%) is able to stabilize the catalysts due to the adequate dispersion and rational interaction between different components, which ensures the high activity and superior stability of the cobalt-alumina catalysts.     

Ho改性的Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂低温脱硝性能的评价和表征

作为引起酸雨、光化学烟雾、雾霾等大气污染问题的主要根源,氮氧化物(NOx)的防治已成为亟待解决的问题.选择性催化还原技术作为最成熟有效的脱硝技术,目前已经被广泛应用于各燃煤电厂.低温脱硝催化剂具有优秀的低温活性,使得脱硝装置可以安放在脱硫装置和除尘装置下游,受到了学者广泛的研究.目前低温脱硝催化剂的研究主要是对催化剂进行改性以提高催化剂的性能,已有许多研究报道了Sn、Ni、Co、Zr、Cr、Ni等对催化剂的改性影响.Ho作为一种改性元素被应用于光催化领域,能提高TiO2的光催化能力.但Ho应用于脱硝领域的研究鲜有报道,其氧化物具有酸性位点有助于脱硝反应,因此研究Ho对低温SCR催化剂的改性作用具有重要意义.本文采用浸渍法制备Ho掺杂的Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂,研究了Ho的掺杂对于Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂低温脱硝性能的影响,同时还研究了烟气中的SO2和H2O对催化剂活性的影响,并利用XPS、XRD、H2-TPR、NH3-TPD等表征方法从物理性质和化学性质两方面对Ho改性的影响机理进行了研究.研究发现,Ho的掺杂能提高Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂的脱硝能力,有助于催化剂N2选择性的提高.分析表明,Ho的掺杂有助于催化剂比表面积的提升,且能提高催化剂的酸性,有利于催化剂对NH3的吸附,从而提高催化剂的性能.XPS表征结果表明Ho掺杂后的催化剂具有更高的化学吸附氧浓度和较高的Mn4+/Mn3+比例, 使得脱硝反应更容易进行.改性后催化剂的抗水抗硫实验结果表明,Ho的掺杂能够提高催化剂的抗水抗硫性能.XRD结果表明,抗水抗硫实验后催化剂表面形成了硫酸铵盐,硫酸铵盐的形成会堵塞催化剂表面的活性位,限制脱硝反应的进行,从而影响催化剂的脱硝活性.同时,400°C下进行再生实验后的催化剂活性有所恢复,但是未能达到抗水抗硫实验前的活性,表明在抗水抗硫实验中催化剂表面形成了除硫酸铵盐以外的其他硫酸盐类.结合XPS和XRD表征结果,推断生成的盐类物质为硫酸锰和硫酸铈,从而导致再生后的催化剂的脱硝活性无法恢复到最初的活性水平.由此可以看出,硫酸盐的形成是催化剂在含硫气氛中失活的主要原因.     

Promotional effect of cobalt addition on catalytic performance of Ce<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Zr<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> mixed oxide for diesel soot combustion

A series of Co-modified Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ catalysts with different concentrations of Co (mass %: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) was investigated for diesel soot combustion. Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ was prepared using the coprecipitation method and Co was loaded onto the oxide using the incipient wetness impregnation method. The activities of the catalysts were evaluated by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) experiments. The results showed the soot combustion activities of the catalysts to be effectively improved by the addition of Co, 6 % Co/Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ and that the 8 % Co/Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ catalysts exhibited the best catalytic performance in terms of lower soot ignition temperature (T_i at 349°C) and maximal soot oxidation rate temperature (T_m at 358°C). The reasons for the improved activity were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These results revealed that the presence of Co could lower the reduction temperature due to the synergistic effect between Co and Ce, thereby improving the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. The 6 % Co catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the greater amounts of Co³⁺ and surface oxygen species on the catalyst.     

Performance and characterisation of CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-WO<Subscript>3</Subscript> catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>

Ce-Ti-W-O _x catalysts were prepared and applied to the NH₃-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction. The experimental results showed that the Ce-Ti-W-O _x catalyst prepared by the hydrothermal method exhibited higher NO conversion than those synthesised via the sol-gel and impregnating methods, while the optimal content of WO₃ and molar ratio of Ce/Ti were 20 mass % and 4: 6, respectively. Under these conditions, the catalyst exhibited the highest level of catalytic activity (the NO conversion reached values higher than 90 %) across a wide temperature range of 225–450°C, with a range of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 40000–140000 h^?1. The catalyst also exhibited good resistance to H₂O and SO₂. The influences of morphology, phase structure, and surface properties on the catalytic performance were investigated by N₂ adsorption-desorption measurement, XRD, XPS, H₂-TPR, and SEM. It was found that the high efficiency of NO removal was due to the large BET surface area, the amorphous surface species, the change to element valence states, and the strong interaction between Ce, Ti, and W.     

Synthesis characterization and catalytic evaluation of Ni/ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> aerogels catalysts

The Ni/ZrO₂/SiO₂ aerogels catalysts were synthesized via three different routes: (i) impregnation ZrO₂–SiO₂ composite aerogels with a aqueous solution of Ni(NO₃)₂, (ii) impregnation SiO₂ aerogels with a mixed aqueous solution of Ni(NO₃)₂ and ZrO(NO₃)₂ · 2H₂O, (iii) one-pot sol–gel procedure from precursors Ni(NO₃)₂/ZrO(NO₃)₂ · 2H₂O/Si(OC₂H₅)₄. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The Liquid-phase hydrogenation of maleic anhydride (MA) was performed over these catalysts. The results revealed that the different preparation routes result in a difference between the obtained samples, concerning the crystal structure and composition, surface acidity, mixed level of each component, texture, and catalytic selectivity.     

Synthesis of an Ni<Subscript>2</Subscript>P catalyst supported on Na-MCM-41 with highly activity for dibenzothiophene HDS under mild conditions

A novel and simple method to synthesize supported Ni₂P/Na(x)-MCM-41 catalysts (where x is the mass fraction of Na-to-MCM-41 in terms of percentage) at a lower reduction temperature by incorporation of Na was described. The catalysts were characterized by H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption–desorption, CO uptake, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of Na on the structure of catalysts and catalytic properties for the dibenzothiophene (DBT) hydrodesulfurization (HDS) was investigated, which confirmed that a suitable amount of Na can promote highly dispersed Ni₂P particles. The Na preferentially interacts with phosphate to generate the sodium phosphate and therefore suppresses the formation of stronger P–O–P bonds, which enables the phosphide catalyst to be easily formed at a lower reduction temperature. Compared with conventional phosphate (973–1273 K), the reduction temperature of Ni₂P/Na(x)-MCM-41 catalyst was relatively low (773 K). The Ni₂P/Na(x)-MCM-41 catalyst with x?=?1.0 showed the maximum DBT conversion of 91.6%, which is higher than that of Ni₂P/M41 without Na (80.3%).     

Mn负载量对nMnO_x/TiO_2催化剂NH_3-SCR催化性能的影响

MnO_x/TiO_2催化剂由于具有优异的低温脱硝性能,已成为SCR催化剂的研究热点之一.我们通过浸渍法制备了一系列不同Mn负载量的nMnO_x/TiO_2(n=2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%)(质量分数)催化剂,考察Mn负载量对催化剂脱硝性能的影响.利用N_2物理吸附, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM),Temperature Programmed Reduction with H_2(H_2-TPR),Temperature Programmed Desorption with NH_3(NH_3-TPD)和X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)对其结构进行表征.结果表明,催化剂的脱硝性能随着Mn负载量(2.5%～15%)(质量分数)的变化呈现"火山型"曲线,当Mn负载量为10%(质量分数)时,催化剂的脱硝性能最佳. H_2-TPR和XPS结果表明nMnO_x/TiO_2催化剂上表面氧比例和表面Mn~(4+)浓度均随着Mn负载量的增大,先增大后减小,具体顺序为10MnO_x/TiO_(2 ) 15MnO_x/TiO_(2 )5MnO_x/TiO_(2 ) 2.5MnO_x/TiO_2,与脱硝性能顺序完全一致.进一步关联表面氧的比例与T_(50)发现,催化剂的表面氧的比例与T_(50)呈线性关系,即表面氧比例越高, T_(50)越小,脱硝活性越高. NH_3-TPD结果表明,弱酸酸量的增加有助于低温脱硝活性的提高.这些结果揭示了Mn负载量影响脱硝性能的作用规律,为今后开发高效的锰基低温脱硝催化剂提供了技术支撑.     

Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO by NH<Subscript>3</Subscript> over MoO<Subscript>3</Subscript> Promoted Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> Catalyst

A series of MoO₃ doped Fe₂O₃ catalysts prepared by the co-precipitation method were investigated in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH₃ (NH₃-SCR). The catalysts displayed excellent catalytic activity from 225 to 400°C and high tolerance to SO₂/H₂O poisoning at 300°C. To characterize the catalysts the N₂-BET, XRD, Raman, NO-TPD, NH₃-TPD and in situ DRIFTS were carried out. It was found that the main reason explaining a high NH₃-SCR performance might be the synergistic effect between Fe and Mo species in the catalyst that could enhance the dispersion of Fe₂O₃ and increase NH₃ adsorption on the catalyst surface.     

铈铬比例对CeO2-CrOx复合氧化物催化剂上1,2-二氯乙烷催化氧化性能的影响

采用共沉淀法制备了不同铈铬比例的CeO₂-CrO_x复合氧化物(Ce/Cr 摩尔比分别为9/1、4/1、2/1、1/1、1/2、1/4、1/8)以及单纯的CeO₂和Cr₂O₃, 并研究了各催化剂对1,2-二氯乙烷(DCE)的催化氧化性能. 结果表明,相较于单纯的CeO₂, 不同铈铬比例的复合氧化物催化剂对DCE的催化氧化活性有明显提高, 其中Ce/Cr 摩尔比为2/1的CeO₂-CrO_x复合氧化物上DCE的氧化活性最好, 且只有极微量的含氯等副产物产生; 随着Ce/Cr 摩尔比减小, 对HCl的选择性有下降的趋势. 通过X射线衍射(XRD)、N₂吸附/脱附(BET)、紫外拉曼(UV-Raman)光谱、H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、NH₃程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD)等实验技术, 研究了铈铬比例对铈铬复合氧化物的物理化学性质的影响. 结果表明, 适当比例Ce-Cr的复合, 形成了结构较稳定的Ce-Cr-O固溶体, 提高了催化剂活性氧物种的流动性, 催化剂表面酸量及强弱酸比例, 从而有利于DCE的吸附活化, 进一步脱氯降解以及深度氧化.     

Studies on the synthesis of higher alcohol over modified Cu/ZnO/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> catalyst

Higher alcohol has been considered as a potential fuel additive. Higher alcohol, including C₂–C₄ alcohol was synthesized by catalytic conversion of syngas (with a ratio of CO/H₂?=?1) derived from natural gas over modified Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Modified Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ catalysts promoted by alkali metal (Li) for higher alcohol synthesis (HAS) were prepared at different pH (6, 6.5, 7, 8, and 9) by co-precipitation to control Cu surface area and characterized by N₂ physisorption, XRD, SEM, H₂-TPR and TPD. The HAS reaction was carried out under a pressure of 45 bar, GHSV of 4000 h^?1, ratio of H₂/CO?=?1, and temperature ranges of 240 and 280 °C. It was found that the malachite phase of copper causes the size of copper to be small, which is suitable for methanol synthesis. Methanol and HAS share a common catalytic active site and intermediate. It was also found that the productivity to higher alcohol was correlated with Cu surface area.     

Thermal properties,phase transitions,vibrational and reorientational dynamics of [Mn(NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>6</Subscript>](NO<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>2</Subscript>

[Mn(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₂ crystallizes in the cubic, fluorite (C1) type crystal lattice structure (Fm \( \overline{3} \) m) with a = 11.0056 Å and Z = 4. Two phase transitions of the first-order type were detected. The first registered on DSC curves as a large anomaly at T _C1 ^h  = 207.8 K and T _C1 ^c  = 207.2 K, and the second registered as a smaller anomaly at T _C2 ^h  = 184.4 K and T _C2 ^c  = 160.8 K (where the upper indexes h and c denote heating and cooling of the sample, respectively). The temperature dependence of the full width at half maximum of the band associated with the δ_s(HNH)F_1u mode suggests that the NH₃ ligands in the high temperature and intermediate phase reorientate quickly with correlation times in the order of several picoseconds and with activation energy of 9.9 kJ mol^?1. In the phase transition at T _C2 ^c probably only a some of the NH₃ ligands stop their reorientation, while the remainders continue to reorientate quickly with activation energy of 7.7 kJ mol^?1. Thermal decomposition of the investigated compound starts at 305 K and continues up to 525 K in four main stages (I–IV). In stage I, ²/₆ of all NH₃ ligands were seceded. Stages II and III are connected with an abruption of the next ²/₆ and ¹/₆ of total NH₃, respectively, and [Mn(NH₃)](NO₃)₂ is formed. The last molecule of NH₃ per formula unit is freed at stage IV together with the simultaneous thermal decomposition of the resulting Mn(NO₃)₂ leading to the formation of gaseous products (O₂, H₂O, N₂ and nitrogen oxides) and solid MnO₂.     

Selective oxidation of carbon monoxide in hydrogen-containing gas on CuO-CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> catalysts prepared by surface self-propagating thermal synthesis

The CuO-CeO₂/Al₂O₃ catalysts for the selective oxidation of CO in hydrogen-containing mixtures were prepared by surface self-propagating thermal synthesis (SSTS) with the use of cerium nitrate Ce(NO₃)₃, the ammonia complex of copper acetate [Cu(NH₃)₄](CH₃COO)₂, and citric acid C₆H₈O₇ as a fuel additive. The effect of the C₆H₈O₇/Ce(NO₃)₃ molar ratio on the catalyst activity and selectivity for oxygen was studied. The catalyst samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR-H₂), IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that an increase in the C₆H₈O₇/Ce(NO₃)₃ ratio resulted in an increase in the degree of dispersion of the resulting CeO₂ phase. The greatest amount of dispersed CuO particles, which are responsible for catalytic activity in the oxidation of CO, was formed at C₆H₈O₇/Ce(NO₃)₃ = 1.     

Ce掺杂对碳纳米管负载Mn催化剂结构及SCR反应性能的影响

采用等体积浸渍法制备多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)负载Ce-Mn的催化剂,考察了Ce掺杂对Mn/MWCNTs催化剂上NH₃选择性催化还原(SCR)NO_x反应活性的影响.并运用透射电镜扫描、N₂吸附-脱附、程序升温还原、X射线光电子能谱、X射线衍射等手段,重点考察了Ce掺杂对Mn/MWCNTs催化剂结构性质的影响.结果表明,Ce掺杂能显著提高催化剂的SCR活性,其活性增量随着Ce含量的增加先增大后减小;当Ce/Mn为0.6时,催化剂活性最佳.表征结果显示,Mn/MWCNTs中添加Ce后,金属氧化物在MWCNTs上的分散程度提高;催化剂的比表面积和孔体积增大,平均孔径减小;氧化能力提高;表面氧含量增加,Mn化合价升高;结晶度降低,Mn主要以无定形或微晶形式存在,Ce主要以CeO₂物相存在.     

Preparation and characterization of H<Subscript>3</Subscript>PW<Subscript>12</Subscript>O<Subscript>40</Subscript>/ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalyst for carbonation of methanol into dimethyl carbonate

A H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/ZrO₂ catalyst for effective dimethyl carbonate (DMC) formation via methanol carbonation was prepared using the sol–gel method. X-ray photoelectron spectra showed that reactive and dominant (63%) W(VI) species, in WO₃ or H₂WO₄, enhanced the catalytic performances of the supported ZrO₂. The mesoporous structure of H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/ZrO₂ was identified by nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms. In particular, partial sintering of catalyst particles in the duration of methanol carbonation caused a decrease in the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of the catalyst from 39 to 19 m²/g. The strong acidity of H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/ZrO₂ was confirmed by the desorption peak observed at 415 °C in NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption curve. At various reaction temperatures (T?=?110, 170, and 220 °C) and CO₂/N₂ volumetric flow rate ratios (CO₂/N₂?=?1/4, 1/7, and 1/9), the calculated catalytic performances showed that the optimal methanol conversion, DMC selectivity, and DMC yield were 4.45, 89.93, and 4.00%, respectively, when T?=?170 °C and CO₂/N₂?=?1/7. Furthermore, linear regression of the pseudo-first-order model and Arrhenius equation deduced the optimal rate constant (4.24?×?10^?3 min^?1) and activation energy (E_a?=?15.54 kJ/mol) at 170 °C with CO₂/N₂?=?1/7 which were favorable for DMC formation.     

The catalytic performance of different promoted iron catalysts on combined supports Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> for carbon dioxide hydrogenation

Global warming, fossil fuel depletion and fuel price increases have motivated scientists to search for methods for the storage and reduction of the amount of greenhouse gases, especially CO₂. The hydrogenation process has been introduced as an emerging method of CO₂ capture and convertion into value-added products. In this study, new types of catalysts are introduced for CO₂ hydrogenation and are compared based on catalytic activity and product selectivity. The physical properties of the samples are specified using BET. Iron catalysts supported on γ-Al₂O₃ with different metal promoters (X = Ni, K, Mn, Cu) are prepared through the impregnation method. Moreover, Fe–Ni catalysts supported on HZSM5-Al₂O₃ and Ce–Al₂O₃ are synthesized. Samples are reduced by pure H₂ and involved in hydrogenation reaction in a fixed bed reactor (H₂/CO₂ = 3, total pressure = 10 MPa, temperature = 523 K, GHSV = 2000, 1250 nml/min). All catalysts provide high conversion in hydrogenation reactions and the results illustrate that the selectivity of light hydrocarbons is higher than that of methane and CO. It is found that Ni has a promoting effect on the conversion fluctuations throughout the reaction with 66.13% conversion. Using combined supported catalysts leads to enhancing catalytic performance. When Fe–Ni/γ–Al₂O₃—HZSM5 is utilized, CO₂ conversion is 81.66% and the stability of the Fe–Ni catalyst supported on Al₂O₃ and Ce–Al₂O₃ furthey improves.     

Highly efficient mesoporous WO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>/KIT-6 catalysts for oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene with hydrogen peroxide

Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of organic compounds containing sulfur element from a model oil was performed using tungsten oxide catalysts supported on mesoporous silica with cubic Ia3d mesostructure, well-defined mesopores (7.2 nm), high surface area (719 m²/g), and three-dimensional pore network (WO _x /KIT-6). The prepared WO _x /KIT-6 catalysts (5–20 wt% WO _x ) were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, N₂ sorption measurements, electron microscopy, H₂-temperature programmed reduction, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Among the mesoporous catalysts, 10 wt% WO _x /KIT-6 exhibited the best catalytic performance. Sulfur-containing organic compounds, such as dibenzothiophene, 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, and benzothiophene, were completely (100 %) removed from the model oil over 10 wt% WO _x /KIT-6 catalyst in 2 h. In addition, the catalyst could be reused several times with only slight decrease in catalytic activity.     

Catalytic removal of soot particles over MnCo<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> catalysts prepared by the auto-combustion method

Soot removal for exhaust gas from diesel engine has been addressed due to the more stringent legislation and environmental concerns. MnCo₂O₄ catalysts were systematically prepared using glucose as a fuel via the auto-combustion method and applied for soot removal. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), O₂-temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) reaction and H₂-temperature-programmed reduction reaction (H₂-TPR). The catalytic activities for soot combustion were evaluated by micro activity test (MAT) with a tight contact mode between soot and catalysts. Compared with catalysts prepared by the solid state method without glucose, auto-combustion method in the presence of glucose can decrease the synthetic temperature, avoiding high temperature treatment and sintering. The catalysts prepared with glucose could catalyze soot oxidation effectively and the derived values of T₁₀, T₅₀, and T₉₀ were 326, 408, and 468 °C in a tight contact mode, respectively, showing a significant drop of T₁₀, T₅₀, and T₉₀ by 156, 177, and 178 °C for non-catalytic reaction.     

硬模板法制备铈基复合氧化物及其对甲苯燃烧的催化性能

采用硬模板法制得CeM-HT(M=Cu、Mn、Fe和Co)复合氧化物催化剂,借助XRD、BET、O₂-TPD和H₂-TPR研究了催化剂的物理化学性质,通过甲苯催化燃烧探针反应评价了催化剂的催化性能。结果表明,CuO、MnO_x、FeO_x和Co₃O₄能溶入CeO₂晶格形成Ce-O-Cu、Ce-O-Mn、Ce-O-Fe和Ce-O-Co固溶体,Cu和Mn离子的溶入导致CeO₂晶格发生了较大程度的晶格畸变,Fe和Co离子对CeO₂晶格的影响较小,且在CeCo-HT氧化物催化剂中还存在微量晶相Co₃O₄。所制得的CeM-HT氧化物催化剂表现出了优越的甲苯催化燃烧性能,在反应温度为300、270、260和230 ℃时,CeFe-HT、CeCo-HT、CeMn-HT和CeCu-HT氧化物催化剂上甲苯的催化燃烧转化率分别达93.7%、95.0%、96.5%和95.0%以上。Ce基复合氧化物催化剂的甲苯催化燃烧活性顺序与其氧脱附性能、储氧性能和可还原性能具有正相关性,遵从顺序为CeCu-HT > CeMn-HT > CeCo-HT > CeFe-HT。
