TiO2-Al2O3载体的制备方法对其负载的磷化镍催化剂加氢脱氮反应性能的影响

采用共沉淀法和原位溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,其负载的磷化镍催化剂采用等体积浸渍法和H₂原位还原法制备. 通过N₂吸附（BET）、X射线衍射（XRD）、透射电镜（TEM）、程序升温还原（TPR）,X射线光电子能谱（XPS）和等离子体发射光谱（ICP-AES）表征技术对催化剂进行了表征,并通过喹啉的加氢脱氮反应评价了催化剂的加氢脱氮性能. 结果表明,原位溶胶-凝胶法制成的复合载体基本保留了原有的γ-Al₂O₃的孔特征,具有较大的比表面积和较宽的孔分布,TiO₂主要以表面富集的形式分散在管状的γ-Al₂O₃表面,其负载的磷化镍催化剂还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P和Ni₁₂P₅;而共沉淀法制成的复合载体比表面积较小,孔径分布更加集中,TiO₂趋于在块状的Al₂O₃表面均匀分散,其负载的磷化镍催化剂具有更好的可还原性,还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P. 不同的载体制备方法和不同的钛铝比对催化剂加氢脱氮性能影响较大,当n（Ti）/n（Al）=1/8时,共沉淀法载体负载的催化剂表现出最佳的加氢脱氮性能,在340 ℃,3 MPa,氢油体积比500,液时空速3 h^-1的反应条件下,喹啉的脱氮率可以达到91.3%.     

Surface and interface analysis of PVD Al-O-N and γ-Al2O3 diffusion barriers

The suitability of PVD films of γ-Al₂O₃ and of ternary Al-O-N as diffusion barriers between a nickel based superalloy CMSX-4 and NiCoCrAlY for a possible application in gas turbines was investigated. Therefore, an Al₂O₃ film and, alternatively, an Al-O-N film were deposited on CMSX-4 at 100 °C substrate temperature by means of reactive magnetron sputtering ion plating (MSIP). After characterization of composition and structure of the films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (XRD), a NiCoCrAlY coating was deposited onto the diffusion barriers and, for comparison, directly onto CMSX-4 by MSIP as well. The composites were annealed for 4 h at 1100 °C under inert atmosphere. Wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX) element mappings and line-scans of the cross-sectional cut served to evaluate the suitability of the films as diffusion barriers. After detachment of the coatings from the substrate, the phase stabilities of the two metastable phases γ-Al₂O₃ and Al-O-N were determined by means of grazing incidence XRD. Without a diffusion barrier, enhanced interdiffusion was observed. Analyses of the composite with the γ-Al₂O₃ interlayer revealed diffusion of Ti and Ta from the substrate into the NiCoCrAlY coating. No interdiffusion of Ni, Ti, Ta, and Cr could be detected in case of the ternary Al-O-N film. Whereas the ternary Al-O-N film remained in the as-deposited X-ray amorphous structure after annealing, a phase change from the γ to the α modification could be observed in case of the Al₂O₃ film, presumably responsible for its lower efficiency as a diffusion barrier.

Improvement of the oxidation behavior of Ti1-xAlxN hard coatings by optimization of the Ti/Al ratio

The oxidation behavior of cubic Ti_1-xAl_xN films was improved by decreasing the Ti/Al ratio from 50/50 in the direction of the phase transition between cubic and hexagonal structure. Metastable, polycrystalline, single-phase Ti_1-xAl_xN films were deposited on high speed steel (HSS) substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering ion plating (MSIP). The composition of the bulk was determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), the crystallographic structure by thin film X-ray diffraction (XRD). A Ti_1-xAl_xN film with a Ti/Al atomic ratio of 38/62 was deposited in cubic NaCl structure, whereas a further decrease of the Ti/Al ratio down to 27/73 led to a two-phase film with both cubic and hexagonal constituents. The Ti_0.38Al_0.62N film was oxidized in synthetic air for 1 h at 800?°C. The oxidic overlayer was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) sputter depth profiling, EPMA crater edge linescan analysis, and secondary neutrals mass spectroscopy (SNMS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs of the cross sectional fracture were taken for morphological examination. With higher Ti content, the Ti_1-xAl_xN formed a TiO_2-x rich sublayer beneath an Al₂O₃ rich toplayer, whereas the oxide layer on the Ti_0.38Al_0.62N film consisted of pure Al₂O₃. The thickness of the oxide layer was determined to 60–80 nm, about a quarter of the oxide layer thickness detected on Ti_0.5Al_0.5N films. The absence of a TiO_2-x sublayer was also confirmed by XRD. The results show a distinct improvement of the oxidation resistance of cubic Ti_1-xAl_xN films by increasing the Al content from x = 0.5 to 0.62, whereas a further increase leads to the hexagonal structure, which is less suitable for tribological applications due to its tendency to form cracks during oxidation.     

Differential thermal analysis of ignition temperatures in a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reaction

Differential thermal analysis was carried out on the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reaction 3TiO₂+4Al+3C→3TiC+2Al₂O₃. The results allow the ignition temperature of the reaction to be estimated and the reaction mechanism to be identified. The ignition temperature was 900°C and the results suggest that the reaction proceeds by an initial reaction between titania and aluminium (3TiO₂+4Al→3Ti+2Al₂O₃) and the titanium formed reacts with the carbon (Ti+C→TiC).     

Sol–gel Al2O3/ZrO2 duplex films for protection of a γ-TiAl based alloy against high temperature oxidation

Al₂O₃/ZrO₂ duplex films were deposited on a γ-TiAl based alloy by sol–gel processing starting from aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OC₃H₇)₃) and zirconium (IV) oxychloride octahydrate (ZrOCl₂ · 8H₂O) as raw materials. Isothermal oxidation at 900 and 1,000 °C in 0.1 MPa O₂ and cyclic oxidation at 1,000 °C in air of the coated and uncoated specimens were performed to investigate the effect of the duplex films on the oxidation behavior of the γ-TiAl alloy. The results of the isothermal oxidation tests indicated that the parabolic rate constants of the alloy were decreased due to the applied thin film. Additionally, the present film exhibited a beneficial effect on the cyclic oxidation resistance of the alloy in air. The duplex film could restrain the growth of TiO₂, causing an increase of the Al₂O₃ content in the oxide mixture and thus decreased the oxidation rate.     

Infrared absorption spectra of Er3+-doped Al2O3 nanopowders by the sol-gel method

The Er³⁺-doped Al₂O₃ nanopowders have been prepared by the sol-gel method, using the aluminium isopropoxide [Al(OC₃H₇)₃]-derived γ-AlOOH sols with addition of the erbium nitrate [Er(NO₃)₃·5H₂O]. The five phases of γ-(Al,Er)₂O₃, θ-(Al,Er)₂O₃, α-(Al,Er)₂O₃, ErAlO₃, and Al₁₀Er₆O₂₄ were detected with the 0–20 mol% Er³⁺-doped Al₂O₃ nanopowders at the different sintering temperature of 600–1200°C. The average grain size was increased from about 5 to 62 nm for phase transformation of undoped γ-Al₂O₃→α-Al₂O₃ at the sintering temperature from 600 to 1200°C. At the same sintering temperature, average grain size was decreased with increase of the Er³⁺ doping concentration. Infrared absorption spectra of γ-Al₂O₃ and θ-Al₂O₃ nanopowders showed the two broad bands of 830–870 and 550–600 cm⁻¹, the three broad bands of 830–870, 750–760, and 550–600 cm⁻¹, respectively. The infrared absorption spectra for the α-Al₂O₃ nanopowder showed three characteristic bands, 640, 602, and 453 cm⁻¹. The two characteristic bands of 669 and 418 cm⁻¹ for Er₂O₃ clusters were observed for the Er³⁺-doped Al₂O₃ nanopowders when Er³⁺ doping concentration was increased up to 2 mol%. The 796, 788, 725, 692, 688, 669, 586, 509, 459, and 418 cm⁻¹ are the characteristic bands of Al₁₀Er₆O₂₄ phase.     

催化剂Pd/TiO2-Al2O3低温下催化甲烷燃烧活性及18O同位素交换性能

Pd supported on TiO2-Al2O3 binary oxides prepared by coprecipitation method has been investigated for the total oxidation of methane. All Pd/TiO2-Al2O3 catalysts show higher activity than Pd/Al2O3 and Pd/TiO2. Among them, Pd/2Ti-3Al with a Ti/Al ratio of 2 to 3 has a T90% of 395 ℃ at a gas hourly mass velocity of 33000 mL/（h＊g）, which is at least 50 ℃ lower than that of Pd supported on single metal oxide Al2O3 or TiO2. The results of TPR and ^180-isotope exchange experiments demonstrated that the excellent activity of Pd/2Ti-3Al was due to its high oxygen mobility and moderate reducibility, which is in accordance with our previous work, XPS results indicated that the dispersion of Pd was not the key factor to influence the catalytic activity.     

Composition and Structure of Anodic Oxide Films on Titanium–Aluminum Alloys by Fast Electron Reflection Diffraction, Rutherford Backscattering, and Secondary Neutral Particle Mass Spectrometry

Anodic oxide films on some Ti–Al alloys are studied using fast-electron reflection diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, and secondary neutral-particle mass spectrometry. The films are amorphous, with a small amount of crystalline phases, and comprise a mixture of TiO₂ and Al₂O₃. The Ti/Al ratio in an anodic film corresponds to that in the alloy matrix. Constants of anodic oxidation of the alloys are determined.     

C 1s and Au 4f7/2 referenced XPS binding energy data obtained with different aluminium oxides, -hydroxides and -fluorides

A number of partially catalytically active aluminium compounds characterised by powder XRD have been investigated by XPS and XAES using a new method for static charge referencing [1, 2]. In detail, α-Al₂O₃, γ-Al₂O₃, boehmite γ-AlO(OH), bayerite α-Al(OH)₃, hydrargillite γ-Al(OH)₃, α-AlF₃, β-AlF₃, and AlF_2.3(OH)_0.7· H₂O and a hexa-fluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) modified γ-Al₂O₃ are examined. Well defined and chemically inert 20 nm gold particles are deposited as a nearly statistical distribution on the sample surface avoiding large coagulation effects. This procedure allows a determination of gold referenced XPS and XAES data sets. Binding energies (BE) of Al 2p, Al 2s, O 1s and F 1s photoelectron peaks as well as kinetic energies (KE) of Al KLL and F KLL Auger electron emission peaks are presented in relation to the Au 4f_7/2 BE reference. XPS and XAES data found in literature are, in most cases, C 1s referenced and scatter in a broad range. BE differences Δ between the C 1s charge reference BE and Au 4f_7/2 charge reference BE obtained with our samples are monitored by using the Al 2p orbital. These BE differences Δ clearly suggest that the chemical state of carbon observed in this study is not as uniform as required for reliable static charge referencing.

Preparation and characterization of CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> aerogels supported ruthenium for catalytic wet air oxidation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid

Catalytic wet air oxidation of an aqueous solution of p-hydroxybenzoic acid was conducted over ruthenium catalysts (1 wt%) supported on CeO₂–Al₂O₃ aerogels mixed oxides at 140 °C and 50 bars of air. We study the effect of the amount of CeO₂ in the catalyst. We found that the optimal cerium content in the Al₂O₃ support was 20 wt%. The activity of the Ru/Al₂O₃ and Ru/CeO₂ was also tested for comparison. It was found that the addition of CeO₂ on the alumina support improves the activity of Ru catalysts. The activity of the samples decreases in the following order: Ru/Ce–Al (20) > Ru/Ce–Al (10) > Ru/Ce–Al (5) ≈ Ru/Al₂O₃ > Ru/CeO₂. Samples characterization was performed by means of N₂ adsorption–desorption, XRD, UV–Vis, TPR, SEM and TEM.     

Preparation of Al2TiO5-ZrO2 mixed powders via sol-gel process

Sol-gel routes in the ternary system Al₂O₃-TiO₅-ZrO₂ were investigated to prepare Al₂TiO₅-ZrO₂ mixed powders. The preparation of ZrTiO₄ and Al₂TiO₅ was studied before going on with the ternary system. Zirconium titanate precursor gels were prepared from Ti(OPrⁱ)₄ and Zr(OPrⁿ)₄ mixtures. The crystallization of ZrTiO₄ develops at T<700°C. Al₂TiO₅ was prepared by different ways, using mixtures of Al(OBu^s)₂(C₆H₉O₃) with Ti(OPr ⁱ )₄ (i), or with acetic acid addition (ii). Route (i) leads to a separate crystallization of TiO₂ and -Al₂O₃, with subsequent formation of -Al₂TiO₅ at T1360°C. Although the pseudobrookite -Al₂TiO₅ is thermodynamically unstable below 1280°C, route (ii) leads to the crystallization of metastable -Al₂TiO₅ at T800°C. At increasing temperature, -Al₂TiO₅ decomposes into TiO₂ and -Al₂O₃, then the two compounds react to form stable -Al₂TiO₅. For the ternary system, all the preparation routes which were studied lead to ZrTiO₄ and -Al₂O₃ with subsequent reaction (at T1500°C) to give -Al₂TiO₅ and ZrO₂.     

Sol–gel synthesis,characterization and photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/γ-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3 </Subscript>granules

Mesoporous TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ composite granules were prepared by combining sol–gel/oil-drop method, using various titania solution. The product granules can be used as a photocatalyst or adsorbent in moving, fluidized bed reactors. The phase composition and pore structure of the granules can be controlled by calcination temperature and using different titania solution. In the photocatalysis of NH₃ decomposition, TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ granules using Degussa P25 powder treated thermally at 450 °C showed the highest catalytic ability. However, TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ granules using titania made by hydrothermal method had comparable performance in NH₃ decomposition.     

Preparation of compact Al2O3 film on metal for oxidation resistance by polyvinylpyrrolidone

Oxidation resistance of metal at high temperature can be improved by an environmentally friendly solution deposition approach. Stable precursor solution with high oxide concentration, favorable viscosity and low surface tension was prepared using aluminum sec-butoxide (ASB) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as starting raw materials. Alumina sol-gel films were deposited onto metal by spin-coating followed by heat treatment. When PVP was added according to an amount of 50 mg/mL into a sol with an ASB/H₂O molar ratio of 1:35, the as-obtained sol exhibited favorable gelation time and viscosity. The surface tension of the alumina sol with PVP was examined to be lower by 32% than the sol (ASB:H₂O = 1:100) without PVP. TG-DTA analyses show the densification of the alumina gel film with PVP was progressed within a wide temperature range from 200 to 650 °C. Crack-free Al₂O₃ film with a thickness up to 1.5 μm was successfully produced on metallic substrate by three spin-coating cycles. SEM and XRD analyses revealed the gel film transformed into compact α-Al₂O₃ material after calcined at 1,000 °C for 0.5 h. The weight gained by the samples during firing at 1,000 °C indicated that the Al₂O₃ coating film could reduce the rate of oxidation by ∼81%. The hardness of the Al₂O₃ film coated metal was higher by 260% than the uncoated metal that was calcined at 1,000 °C for 0.5 h. It was confirmed by adhesion test that both the alumina/PVP hybrid film and the as-produced α-Al₂O₃ coating film had strong adhesion.     

Growth mechanism of Nb-doped TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> sol–gel multilayer films characterized by SEM and focus/defocus TEM

TiO₂ and Nb-doped TiO₂ films were prepared by sol–gel processing, their microstructure was adjusted by varying the number of subsequent coating-firing cycles that resulted in final total film thickness of ~100 nm. When only few subsequent coatings are stacked (large single layer thickness) granular polycrystalline microstructures are observed. Doping with Nb reduces the crystallite size compared to the respective pure anatase films. When the single layer thickness is reduced, the film growth is successively dominated by the nucleation of subsequent films on the underlying crystalline material resulting in a columnar dense film structure. The multilayer architecture of such films can be demonstrated by defocus TEM imaging even if crystalline columns exceed single film boundaries. Results indicate that Nb is homogeneously incorporated into the anatase lattice by substitution of Ti, nevertheless the electric conductivity after H₂ post annealing is significantly lower than reported for analogous films prepared by magneton sputtering or pulsed laser deposition.     

Determination of the cubic to hexagonal structure transition in the metastable system TiN-AlN

Structural transitions of metastable Ti_1–xAl_xN coatings on technically relevant substrates were determined as a function of the Ti/Al ratio. Ti_1–xAl_xN films with different Ti/Al ratios were deposited on high speed steel (HSS) substrates at substrate temperatures of 300?° and 500?°C by means of reactive magnetron sputtering ion plating (MSIP). A Ti/Al compound target was used as well as a cluster arrangement of one Ti and one Al target for comparison. The composition of the films was determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), the crystallographic structure by thin film X-ray diffraction (XRD). The analyses revealed that films deposited with Ti/Al ratios of 44/56 and 36/64 had grown in cubic NaCl structure, a film with a Ti/Al ratio of 32/68 was two-phase, and a Ti/Al ratio of 25/75 led to a hexagonal film in wurtzite structure. Only small differences of the lattice parameters could be observed in dependence of temperature: At 300?°C the lattice parameters of the cubic structure corresponded exactly to Vegard‘s law, whereas they slightly decreased in the films deposited at 500?°C. The application of a cluster arrangement instead of a compound target resulted in nearly the same lattice parameters and peak shapes.     

Calorimetric Characterization of Surface Reactivity of Supported Ga2O3 Catalysts

The surface properties of supported gallium oxide catalysts prepared by impregnation of various supports (γ-Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, ZrO₂) were investigated by adsorption microcalorimetry, using ammonia and water as probe molecules. In the case of acidic supports (γ-Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, TiO₂), the acidic character of supported gallium catalysts always decreased in comparison with gallium-free supports; on very weakly acidic SiO₂, new acidic centers were created when depositing Ga₂O₃. The addition of gallium oxide decreased the hydrophilic properties of alumina, titania and zirconia, but increased the amount of water adsorbed on silica. The catalytic performances in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by C₂H₄ in excess oxygenwere in the order Ga/Al₂O₃>Ga/TiO₂>Ga/ZrO₂>>Ga/SiO₂. This order is more related to the quality of the dispersion of Ga₂O₃ on the support than to the global acidity of the solids. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effect of kcl on cucl2/γ-al2o3 catalyst for oxychlorination of ethane

Summary Effect of KCl on the structure and the catalytic properties of CuCl₂/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst for ethane oxychlorination has been studied by means of solubility test, UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, TPR, TEM and catalytic reaction. Addition of KCl decreases the interaction between active species CuCl₂ and γ-Al₂O₃ and increases the catalytic properties by accelerating the Cu(II) → Cu(I) reduction step.     

Preparation of Cr2O3-Al2O3 Solid Solutions by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering

 (Al,Cr)₂O₃ layers were deposited on cemented carbide insert tips at a substrate temperature of 500 °C by means of reactive magnetron sputtering. An Al target was sputtered in RF mode and a Cr target in DC mode simultaneously in an oxygen/argon plasma. The influence of the Al and Cr sputter power and of the oxygen partial pressure on composition and structure of the (Al,Cr)₂O₃ layers as well as on the binding states of their components were investigated. Special attention was paid to the interpretation of the O ls and O-KLL fine structure and peak shifts. For the binary phases γ-Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃, a good agreement with literature values was observed in each case. In case of the ternary phases a continuous shift of the energetic position of the O1s peak, the O-KL₂₃L₂₃ transition and the modified Auger parameter α ′ of oxygen between the two binary phases γ-Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ could be detected, indicating a wide range of solid solubility between Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃. As revealed by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, the crystallinity of the ternary phases is less pronounced as compared to the binaries and increases with increasing oxygen flow rate.     

First principles calculation of the stacking fault in (111) low-temperature metastable alumina

Stacking faults along the (111) direction in low-temperature metastable aluminum oxide (η-Al₂O₃ and χ-Al₂O₃) are studied using density functional theory (DFT). The surface energy of Al₂O₃ (111) is calculated; the intermediate layer between crystalline domains is considered; the ²⁷Al nuclear quadrupole coupling constants are determined.     

Structural models for intergrowth structures in the phase system Al2O3-TiO2

The phase system Al₂O₃-TiO₂ was investigated in the compositional range from 48:52 to 62:38 mol% Al₂O₃:TiO₂. The samples were prepared by melting the binary oxides in an arc-imaging furnace and the obtained samples were examined by powder X-ray diffraction. The recorded powder patterns could be interpreted in terms of intergrowth structures consisting of two basic building blocks, which were deduced from the known crystal structures of β-Al₂TiO₅ and Al₆Ti₂O₁₃. The structure of a new ordered compound with the formula Al₁₆Ti₅O₃₄ is proposed. The thermal stability was estimated from DTA and tempering experiments and showed that all prepared samples decompose at temperatures around 800 °C into the binary oxides corundum and titania.
