Co助剂对稀燃NOx阱Pt/Ba-Al-O结构和性能的影响 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
采用共沉淀-浸渍法制备了Pt/Co-Ba-Al-O催化剂,用X射线衍射、X射线吸收近边结构和扩展X射线吸收精细结构等手段表征了催化剂的微观结构,并在连续流动微型反应器上测定了催化剂对NOx的储存性能.载体经过800℃焙烧后,Co物种主要以四面体配位的铝酸钴相存在.在富氧条件下,高分散的小颗粒铝酸钴相促进了NO向NO2的转化,大大改善了催化剂对NOx的储存性能.铂物种则以小的金属原子簇形式存在,分散度很高.钴助剂的添加改善了氧化铝相的分散度,抑制了金属铂原子簇与载体的相互作用,使铂在催化剂表面分散得更均匀,从而有利于NOx的储存. 相似文献

Nb2O5/TiO2催化剂表面铌氧物种的分散状态和催化性能 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
用X射线粉末衍射(XRO)、拉曼光谱(LRS)、Hammett指示剂和微反测试等方法考察了负载型Nb2O5/TiO2催化剂表面铌氧(NbOx)物种的分散状态、表面酸性和催化异丁烯(IB)与异丁醛(IBA)缩合生成2,5-二甲基.2,4.己二烯(DMHD)反应的催化性能.实验测得Nb2O5在TiO2表面的分散容量为0.94mmol/100m^2TiO2,与“嵌入模型”理论计算值相近.当负载量低于分散容量的1/3时,Nb2O5主要以孤立的NbOx物种通过Nb—O—Ti链与载体表面相连,这种孤立的NbOx物种酸性很弱,催化活性很低.随负载量的增加,孤立的NbOx物种通过Nb—O—Nb键连接聚合,表面酸性增强,IB与IBA缩合生成DMHD的转化数(TON)增加.当Nb2O5负载量超过分散容量时,表面NbOx物种主要是通过Nb—O—Nb化学键相连形成多层的Nb2O5虽然催化剂的强酸中心数量有所增加,但NbOx物种表面利用率下降,催化活性增加幅度趋缓. 相似文献

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) were used to characterize the structure of the mixture of molybdenum oxide and anatase calcined at 723 K. The resuits indicate that molybdenum oxide can disperse onto the surface of anatase (TiO2) and the dispersion threshold is 11.2 mg in per gram of MoO3 or 4.8 Mo atoms/nm^2 TiO2. When the coment of MoO3 is below the dispersion threshold, MoO3 species is in highly dispersed state interacting strongly with TiO2 support and in discrete tetrahedral coordination. [MoO4], on the surface of TiO2. When the MoO3 loading is above this value, MoO3 exists in both dispersed phase and crystalline phase. MoO3 in dispersed phase is still a discrete [MoO4] tetrahedron; MoO3 in crystal phase is in octahedral coordination. 相似文献

Dispersion state and catalytic properties of vanadia species on the surface of V_2O_5/TiO_2 catalysts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The dispersion state and catalytic properties of anatase-supported vanadia species are studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and the selective oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride. The almost identical values of the experimental dispersion capacity of V2O5 on anatase and the surface vacant sites available on the preferentially exposed (001) plane of anatase suggest that the highly dispersed vanadium cations are bonded to the vacant sites on the surface of anatase as derived by the incorporation model. When the loading amount of V2O5 is far below its dispersion capacity, the dispersed vanadia species might mainly consist of isolated VOx species bridging to the surface through V-O-Ti bonds. With the increase of V2O5 loading the isolated vanadia species interact with their nearest neighbors (either isolated or polymerized vanadia) through bridging V-O-V at the expenses of V-O-Ti bonds, resulting in the increase of the ra 相似文献

The present work tentatively investigated the effect of cobalt precursors (cobalt acetate and cobalt nitrate) on the physicochemical properties of CoO(x)/γ-Al(2)O(3) catalysts calcined in N(2). XRD, Raman, XPS, FTIR, and UV-vis DRS results suggested that CoO/γ-Al(2)O(3) was obtained from cobalt acetate precursors and CoO was dispersed on γ-Al(2)O(3) below its dispersion capacity of 1.50 mmol/(100 m(2) γ-Al(2)O(3)), whereas Co(3)O(4)/γ-Al(2)O(3) was obtained from cobalt nitrate precursors and Co(3)O(4) preferred to agglomerate above the dispersion capacity of 0.15 mmol/(100m(2) γ-Al(2)O(3)). Compared with Co(3)O(4)/γ-Al(2)O(3), CoO/γ-Al(2)O(3) catalysts were difficult to be reduced and easy to desorb oxygen species at low temperatures and presented high activities for CO oxidation as proved by H(2)-TPR, O(2)-TPD, and CO oxidation model reaction results. A surface incorporation model was proposed to explain the dispersion and reduction properties of CoO/γ-Al(2)O(3) catalysts. 相似文献

Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with high surface area were synthesized over nanoporous Co-Mo/MgO by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The SWNTs were used as catalyst support for selective hydrogenation of syngas to hydrocarbons. Here an extensive study of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on CNT-supported cobalt catalysts with different amounts of cobalt loading up to 40 wt% is reported. The catalysts were characterized by different methods including N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction, hydrogen chemisorption, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and temperature-programmed reduction. Enhancement of the reducibility of Co3O4 to CoO, CoO to Coo and small cobalt oxide particles, dispersion of the cobalt, and activity and selectivity of FTS were investigated and compared with a conventional support. The CNT supported catalysts achieve a high dispersion and high loading of the active metal, cobalt in particular, so that the bulk formation of cobalt metal, which tends to occur in conventional support, can be avoided. The results showed that the specific activity of CNT supported catalysts increase significantly (there is a two fold increase in CO Conversion per gram of the active metal) with respect to the conventional supported catalyst. 相似文献

The dispersion state and catalytic properties of anatase-supported vanadia species are studied by means of X-ray diffraction

values of the experimental dispersion capacity of V2O5 on anatase and the surface vacant sites available on the preferentially exposed (001) plane of anatase suggest that the highly
dispersed vanadium cations are bonded to the vacant sites on the surface of anatase as derived by the incorporation model.
When the loading amount of V2O5 is far below its dispersion capacity, the dispersed vanadia species might mainly consist of isolated VOx species bridging to the surface through V-O-Ti bonds. With the increase of V2O5 loading the isolated vanadia species interact with their nearest neighbors (either isolated or polymerized vanadia) through
bridging V-O-V at the expenses of V-O-Ti bonds, resulting in the increase of the ratio of polymerized to isolated vanadia
species and the decrease of the reactivity of the associated surface oxygen anions and, consequently, although the activity
increases with loading to reach a maximum value, the turn over number (TON) of the V2O5/TiO2 catalyst decreases linearly. When the loading amount of V2O5 is higher than its dispersion capacity, the turn over number decreases more rapidly with the increase of V2O5 loading due to the formation of V2O5 crystallites in which the oxygen anions associated with V-O-V bonds are less reactive and only partially exposed on the surface. 相似文献

A 10% Co-4% Re/(2% Zr/SiO(2)) catalyst was prepared by co-impregnation using a silica support modified by 2% Zr. The catalyst was characterized by temperature programmed reduction (TPR), in situ XRD and in situ XANES analysis where it was simultaneously exposed to H(2) using a temperature programmed ramp. The results showed the two step reduction of large crystalline Co(3)O(4) with CoO as an intermediate. TPR results showed that the reduction of highly dispersed Co(3)O(4) was facilitated by reduced rhenium by a H(2)-spillover mechanism. In situ XRD results showed the presence of both, Co-hcp and Co-fcc phases in the reduced catalyst at 400 °C. However, the Co-hcp phase was more abundant, which is thought to be the more active phase as compared to the Co-fcc phase for CO hydrogenation. CO hydrogenation at 270 °C and 5 bar pressure produces no detectable change in the phases during the time of experiment. In situ XANES results showed a decrease in the metallic cobalt in the presence of H(2)/CO, which can be attributed due to oxidation of the catalyst by reaction under these conditions. 相似文献

The effects of the addition of manganese to a series of TiO(2)-supported cobalt Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts prepared by different methods were studied by a combination of X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy at the Co and Mn K-edges. After calcination, the catalysts were generally composed of large Co(3)O(4) clusters in the range 15-35 nm and a MnO(2)-type phase, which existed either dispersed on the TiO(2) surface or covering the Co(3)O(4) particles. Manganese was also found to coexist with the Co(3)O(4) in the form of Co(3-x)Mn(x)O(4) solutions, as revealed by XRD and XAFS. Characterization of the catalysts after H(2) reduction at 350 degrees C by XAFS and TEM showed mostly the formation of very small Co(0) particles (around 2-6 nm), indicating that the cobalt phase tends to redisperse during the reduction process from Co(3)O(4) to Co(0). The presence of manganese was found to hamper the cobalt reducibility, with this effect being more severe when Co(3-x)Mn(x)O(4) solutions were initially present in the catalyst precursors. Moreover, the presence of manganese generally led to the formation of larger cobalt agglomerates ( approximately 8-15 nm) upon reduction, probably as a consequence of the decrease in cobalt reducibility. The XAFS results revealed that all reduced catalysts contained manganese entirely in a Mn(2+) state, and two well-distinguished compounds could be identified: (1) a highly dispersed Ti(2)MnO(4)-type phase located at the TiO(2) surface and (2) a less dispersed MnO phase being in the proximity of the cobalt particles. Furthermore, the MnO was also found to exist partially mixed with a CoO phase in the form of rock-salt Mn(1-x)Co(x)O-type solid solutions. The existence of the later solutions was further confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) for a Mn-rich sample. Finally, the cobalt active site composition in the catalysts after reduction at 300 and 350 degrees C was linked to the catalytic performances obtained under reaction conditions of 220 degrees C, 1 bar, and H(2)/CO = 2. The catalysts with larger Co(0) particles ( approximately >5 nm) and lower Co reduction extents displayed a higher intrinsic hydrogenation activity and a longer catalyst lifetime. Interestingly, the MnO and Mn(1-x)Co(x)O species effectively promoted these larger Co(0) particles by increasing the C(5+) selectivity and decreasing the CH(4) production, while they did not significantly influence the selectivity of the catalysts containing very small Co(0) particles. 相似文献

The structure and catalytic properties of anatase and rutile supported manganese oxide catalysts prepared by impregnation method have been studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H(2) temperature-programmed reduction (H(2)-TPR) and BET surface area measurements combined with activity testing of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH(3). It has been shown that the manganese oxide loadings on the two TiO(2) supports exert great influences on the SCR activity. For the rutile supported manganese oxide catalysts, increasing manganese oxide loading leads to the increase of reducibility of dispersed manganese oxide species and the rate constant k, which reaches a maximum around 9.6 × 10(-6) mol g(Mn)(-1) s(-1) at 0.5 mmol Mn per 100 m(2) TiO(2). When the manganese oxide loading is beyond this value, the existence of amorphous MnO(x) multiple layers will certainly reduce the ratio of manganese oxide species exposed on the surface and the reducibility of dispersed manganese oxide species, resulting in the rapid decrease of rate constant k. The LRS and XPS results have revealed that for the anatase supported manganese oxide catalysts manganese oxide species exist in Mn(+4) as a major species with Mn(+3) species and partially undecomposed Mn-nitrate as the minor species. Under the SCR reaction conditions, Mn(+3) species on anatase are oxidized to Mn(+4) species, inserting in the surface of anatase and promoting the anatase-to-rutile transformation in the surface layers of the anatase support. Since these Mn(4+) cations are actually dispersed on the support with a rutile shell-anatase core structure and its concentration is very near to that of MnO(x)/TiO(2) (R) catalyst, the relation between the rate constant k and the MnO(x) loading on the anatase support is similar to that on the rutile support, and that the rate constant k values for anatase and rutile supported manganese oxide catalysts are very close at the same MnO(x) loading. 相似文献

ZrO2-supported La, Co oxide catalysts with different La, Co loading (2, 6, 8, 12 and 16 wt.% as LaCoO3) were prepared by impregnation of tetragonal ZrO2 with equimolar amounts of La and Co citrate precursors and calcination at 1073 K. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and BET specific surface area determination. Catalytic CO oxidation was performed at 298–800 K. XRD revealed the presence of tetragonal zirconia with traces of the monoclinic phase. LaCoO3 perovskite was also detected for loading higher than 6%. XAS experiments suggested that at high loading LaCoO3 and Co3O4 were formed, while at low loading, La, Co oxide species interacting with support, and hard to be structurally defined, prevailed. The catalysis study evidenced that the catalytic activity was due to segregated and highly dispersed cobalt oxide species. 相似文献
