Co-Cr-O复合氧化物上丙烷低温完全氧化:结构效应、反应动力学和原位光谱研究（英文）

低碳烷烃是一类主要的挥发性有机污染物(VOCs),广泛生成于汽车尾气以及各种工业过程如煤处理、石油精炼以及天然气处理等.随着对环保要求的日益提高,对高效VOCs消除技术的需求愈加迫切.催化完全氧化(催化燃烧)技术具有起燃温度低、能耗低、净化效果好(无二次污染)等优点,因而极具应用潜力.对于低碳烷烃的催化燃烧,贵金属催化剂如Pt和Pd等具有很高的反应活性,但存在价格昂贵并易中毒等缺陷限制了其商业应用.另一方面,过渡金属氧化物由于其价格低廉、抗中毒性能优异及热稳定性好等特点受到广泛关注.Cu,Mn,Co,Fe等氧化物都具有良好的催化活性,其中Co氧化物由于其在丙烷催化燃烧中的高活性受到关注.而在Co氧化物中添加第二金属更能促进其反应性能.因此本文制备了一系列不同Co/Cr比例的复合氧化物用于丙烷催化燃烧,考察了催化剂结构和表面性质对其反应行为的影响,并通过反应动力学和原位光谱技术对反应机理进行了探索.实验结果表明,随着Co/Cr比例的变化,催化剂的晶相结构、颗粒尺寸、比表面积、表面酸性以及氧化还原性等特性均发生了明显变化,进而影响了其反应行为.当Co/Cr比例为1/2时(1Co2Cr),催化剂为尖晶石结构并具有最大的比表面积.该催化剂上具有最高的反应活性(250℃时反应速率为1.38μmol g^-1 s^-1),可归因于其最高的表面酸性和低温氧化还原性能的协同作用.反应动力学结果表明,1Co2Cr催化剂上丙烷和氧气的反应级数分别为0.58±0.03和0.34±0.05,低于2Co1Cr(分别为0.77±0.02和0.98±0.16)和1Co5Cr(分别为0.66±0.05和1.30±0.11),表明1122Cr催化剂相比后二者具有更高的丙烷和氧气表面覆盖度,得益于其更高的表面酸性和更好的低温氧化还原性能.此外,原位红外光谱表明,在反应过程中,1Co2Cr催化剂上的主要表面物种为多齿碳酸盐,该物种在低温时(<250℃)在表面积聚,但在高温时被分解.

Co–Cr–O mixed oxides for low–temperature total oxidation of propane: Structural effects,kinetics, and spectroscopic investigation

A series of Co–Cr–O mixed oxides with different Co/Cr molar ratios are synthesized and tested for the total oxidation of propane.The reaction behaviors are closely related to the structural features of the mixed oxides.The catalyst with a Co/Cr molar ratio of 1:2(1 Co2 Cr)and a spinel structure has the best activity(with a reaction rate of 1.38μmol g^–1 s^–1 at 250℃),which is attributed to the synergistic roles of its high surface acidity and good low-temperature reducibility,as evidenced by the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,reduction of hydrogen,and surface reaction of propane.Kinetic study shows that the reaction orders of propane and oxygen on the 1 Co2 Cr catalyst(0.58±0.03 and 0.34±0.05,respectively)are lower than those on the 2 Co1 Cr catalyst(0.77±0.02 and 0.98±0.16,respectively)and 1 Co5 Cr(0.66±0.05 and 1.30±0.11,respectively),indicating that the coverages of propane and oxygen on 1 Co2 Cr are higher than those on the other catalysts due to its higher surface acidity and higher reducibility.In addition,in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopic investigation reveals that the main surface species on 1 Co2 Cr during the reaction are polydentate carbonate species,which accumulate on the surface at low temperatures(<250℃)but decompose at relatively high temperatures.
