Syngas production from ethanol dry reforming over Rh/CeO2 catalyst

Carbon dioxide reforming of ethanol over Rh/CeO₂ catalyst was deeply investigated at different reaction temperatures of 450–700 °C and reactant ratios (CO₂/ethanol from 1 to 3) under atmospheric pressure. The obtained results indicated that Rh/CeO₂ catalyst presented a promising activity and stability for syngas production from renewable bio-ethanol instead of conventional methane. Typically, CO₂-rich conditions (CO₂/ethanol = 3) were favorable for reaction process and dynamic coke cleaning, which led to remarkably stable performance over 65 h on stream. The strong redox capacity of CeO₂ support might also accelerate CO₂ activation and prevent the carbon accumulation over the catalyst surface. Additionally, tunable H₂/CO ratios were available by changing the CO₂/ethanol ratios. The results from characterization of samples before and after catalytic tests allowed to establish the relationship between textural properties and catalytic performance.     

Study of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO2 on supported CeO2-Fe2O3 binary oxides

Nano-sheets Al₂O₃ supported CeO₂-Fe₂O₃ binary oxides were prepared by the vacuum impregnation method. The structural and textural properties were characterized by pertinent techniques, and the materials were evaluated as catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with carbon dioxide (CO₂-ODEB). The characterization results show that all samples maintain the hierarchical structure, and CeO₂-like and Fe₂O₃-like solid solutions were formed when changing the Ce-to-Fe molar ratio. The catalytic performances indicate that CeO₂-Fe₂O₃ binary oxides were effective for CO₂-ODEB, and the activity is determined by mobile oxygen, which can facilitate the dehydrogenation process. The DFT studies further identified the reaction pathway and rate-determining step. The inter-transmission of oxygen species and the presence of CO₂ refill the oxygen vacancies and restore the redox cycle of CeO₂-Fe₂O₃ binary oxides.     

Pt/Al2O3和Pt/CeO2/Al2O3催化甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应

研究了Pt/Al₂O₃和Pt/CeO₂/Al₂O₃对甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应的催化活性,发现Pt/CeO₂/Al₂O₃显示了更高的甲烷转化率和合成气选择性.用H₂-TPR、H₂-TPD、SEM-EDX和XRD等技术对催化剂进行了表征.CeO₂和Pt相互作用促进Pt在催化剂表面的分散,抑制Pt在催化剂表面的迁移;降低了催化剂的燃烧活性,提高了催化剂的部分氧化活性和选择性,可避免因催化剂床层局部温度过高而导致催化剂活性下降或失活,提高了催化剂的稳定性.同时,CeO₂通过促进水汽变换反应使反应体系迅速达到平衡,提高了催化剂对H₂的选择性.

用共沉淀法制备了一组Mg-Fe复合氧化物催化剂,用于N2O催化分解,考察了催化剂组成、焙烧温度、负载助剂钾等参数对其催化活性的影响。采用N2物理吸附、X射线衍射、H2-程序升温还原等技术对催化剂进行了结构表征。结果表明,500℃焙烧的Mg0.6Fe0.4Fe2O4催化剂对于N2O分解反应有较高活性,而K改性的催化剂活性均有所降低,且K的负载量越高,改性催化剂的活性越低,这是由于负载的K粒子抑制了表面铁物种的还原,降低了催化剂的比表面积。在有氧无水、水氧共存条件下连续反应10h,Mg0.6Fe0.4Fe2O4的催化活性和稳定性均显著高于FeOx催化剂。

Effect of rare earth oxides (CeO2, La2O3) on properties of Pd/Al2O3 catalysts for reduction of nitrogen oxides by methane

We have established that the thermal stability of supported Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts is increased after they are modified by rare earth oxides (La₂O₃, Ce₂O₃). We have observed the effect of thermal activation of an aluminopalladium catalyst modified by lanthanum oxide. This effect is apparent in the increase of the specific catalytic activity in the reaction of high-temperature reduction of nitrogen oxides by methane after heat treatment of the catalyst at 850 °C. We have used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to show that the reason for the thermal activation effect is stabilization of palladium in the Pd¹⁺ state. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 44–48, January–February, 2006.     

Hydrogen and syngas production from two-step steam reforming of methane using CeO2 as oxygen carrier

CeO2 oxygen carrier was prepared by precipitation method and tested by two-step steam reforming of methane (SRM). Two-step SRM for hydrogen and syngas generation is investigated in a fixed-bed reactor. Methane is directly converted to syngas at a H2/CO ratio close to 2 : 1 at a high temperature (above 750 °C) by the lattice oxygen of CeO2; methane cracking is found when the reduction degree of CeO2 was above 5.0% at 850 °C in methane isothermal reaction. CeO2?δ obtained from methane isothermal reaction can split water to generate CO-free hydrogen and renew its lattice oxygen at 700 °C; simultaneously, deposited carbon is selectively oxidized to CO2 by steam following the reaction (C+2H2O→CO2+2H2). Slight deactivation in terms of amounts of desired products (syngas and hydrogen) is observed in ten repetitive two-step SRM process due to the carbon deposition on CeO2 surface as well as sintering of CeO2.

钴铈复合金属氧化物催化剂上氧化亚氮催化分解性能研究

采用共沉淀法制备了一系列钴铈复合金属氧化物催化剂CoCex(x=0～0.2,x为Ce/Co摩尔比),进行了比表面积和XRD表征,并考察了它们对氧化亚氮催化分解反应的活性.结果表明,随着铈添加量的增加,催化剂上钴尖晶石相的衍射峰逐渐宽化,同时催化剂的比表面积逐渐增大;催化剂的活性随着铈添加量的增加先升高,然后下降,CoCe0.05催化剂表现出了最佳催化活性.在对CoCe0.05催化剂制备条件的考察实验中发现,共沉淀过程中控制pH值在9左右,于400 ℃焙烧得到的催化剂的活性最好.当反应气氛中存在O2或H2O时,CoCe0.05催化剂上N2O的分解反应受到抑制,但这种影响是可逆的,可能是由于它们与N2O在相同的活性位上存在竞争吸附.

Methane Decomposition over Ni/α-Al2O3 Promoted by La2O3 and CeO2

The decomposition of methane on Ni/a-Al2O3 modified by La2O3 and CeO2 with differ-ent contents has been investigated and the ralationship between methane decomposition and removal of carbon by CO2 over these catalyst has also been studied by pulse-chromatography. The catalysts were characterized by TPR and XRD. It was shown that Ni/a-Al2O3 could be promoted by adding La2O3, and the carbon species produced over this catalyst was activated and eliminated by CO2. But CeO2 would suppress the decomposition of methane over Ni crystallite. Both La2O3 and CeO2 can inhibit aggregation of the Ni particles. Decomposition of methane over the Ni-based catalysts is structure sensitive to a certain extent.

Theoretical study of CeO2 and Ce2O3 using a screened hybrid density functional

The predicted structures and electronic properties of CeO(2) and Ce(2)O(3) have been studied using conventional and hybrid density functional theory. The lattice constant and bulk modulus for CeO(2) from local (LSDA) functionals are in good agreement with experiment, while the lattice parameter from a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) is too long. This situation is reversed for Ce(2)O(3), where the LSDA lattice constant is much too short, while the GGA result is in reasonable agreement with experiment. Significantly, the screened hybrid HSE functional gives excellent agreement with experimental lattice constants for both CeO(2) and Ce(2)O(3). All methods give insulating ground states for CeO(2) with gaps for the 4f band lying between 1.7 eV (LSDA) and 3.3 eV (HSE) and 6-8 eV for the conduction band. For Ce(2)O(3) the local and GGA functionals predict a semimetallic ground state with small (0-0.3 eV) band gap but weak ferromagnetic coupling between the Ce(+3) centers. By contrast, the HSE functional gives an insulating ground state with a band gap of 3.2 eV and antiferromagnetic coupling. Overall, the hybrid HSE functional gives a consistent picture of both the structural and electronic properties of CeO(2) and Ce(2)O(3) while treating the 4f band consistently in both oxides.
