Al2O3-TiO2 SOL-GEL MIXED OXIDES AS SUITABLE SUPPORTS FOR THE REDUCTION OF NO BY CO

Sol–Gel alumina-titania supports were prepared by the co-gelling aluminum tri-sec-butoxide and titanium isopropoxide (10 wt.% TiO₂) at pH 3 and pH 9. Supports showed specific surface areas higher than 250 m²/g, and Lewis acidity was observed by FTIR pyridine adsorption. Cu°, Cu¹⁺ and Cu²⁺species on impregnated Cu/Al₂O₃-TiO₂catalysts were identified by means of FTIR-CO adsorption. A correlation between Cu⁺/Cu²⁺ abundance and the activity for NO reduction by CO is reported.     

Effect of sol-gel derived Al2O3-ZrO2 and Al2O3-TiO2 oxides on the selectivity of NO reduction by CO under oxidizing conditions

The role of Al₂O₃-ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃-TiO₂ sol-gel prepared supports in the activity of platinum for the NO reduction by CO under oxidizing conditions has been studied. ²⁷Al MAS-NMR spectra have shown the formation of pentacoordinate Al^V in alumina-zirconia support. ZrO₂ or TiO₂ crystalline phases cannot be identified by XRD diffraction, suggesting the formation of nanosized structures supported on alumina. When the reaction was carried out in presence of oxygen, large amounts of NO₂ were observed on Pt/Al₂O₃-ZrO₂catalyst, while the formation of N₂O is more prononced on Pt/Al₂O₃-TiO₂ catalyst. The effect of water during NO reduction is discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

NO reduction and CO oxidation over Cu/Ce/Mg/Al mixed oxide catalyst in FCC operation

Simultaneous NO reduction and CO oxidation in the presence of O₂, H₂O and SO₂ over Cu/Mg/Al/O (Cu-cat), Ce/Mg/Al/O (Ce-cat) and Cu/Ce/Mg/Al/O (CuCe-cat) were studied. At low temperatures (<340 °C), the presence of O₂ or H₂O enhanced the activity of CuCe-cat for NO and CO conversions, but significantly suppressed the activity of Cu-cat and Ce-cat. At high temperature (720 °C), the presence of O₂ or H₂O had no adverse effect on the NO and CO conversions over these catalysts. The addition of SO₂ to NO+CO+O₂+H₂O system had no effect on the reaction of CO+O₂ over Cu-cat, but deactivated this catalyst for NO+CO and CO+H₂O reactions; over Ce-cat, all of these reactions of NO+CO,CO+O₂ and CO+H₂O were suppressed significantly; over CuCe-cat, NO+CO and CO+O₂ reactions were not affected while the reaction of CO+H₂O was slightly inhibited.     

Co?Cu?Al mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcite-like compound for NO reduction by CO

Various hydrotalcite based catalysts were prepared for catalytic removal of NO (NO reduction by CO). The general formula of hydrotalcite compounds (HTLc) was Co−Cu−Al-HTLc. Precalcination of these materials at 450°C for NO reduction by CO, was necessary for catalytic activity. All catalysts except Co−Al and Cu−Al have very good activity at lower temperature for NO reduction by CO. All samples were characterized by XRD and BET. The tentative reaction mechanism was also proposed.     

锰锆复合氧化物CO催化还原NO性能研究

采用柠檬酸络合法制备了锰锆复合氧化物催化剂,用XRD、H_2-TPR、XPS和SEM等技术进行了表征,研究了其CO催化还原NO性能。结果表明,MnO_x主要以Mn_3O_4物相存在,Zr占比的增加会促进Mn_3O_4物相的分散,引起Mn_3O_4平均晶粒粒径减小;Mn主要有Mn~(2+)、Mn~(3+)、Mn~(4+)离子价态形式,添加Cu和Ce后,(Mn~(3+)+Mn~(4+))含量和表面吸附氧(OA)含量增加,H_2-TPR还原峰温度向低温区偏移,有利于催化活性的提升。Mn-Zr-O复合氧化物的CO催化还原NO活性较低,加入Cu后的Mn-Cu-Zr-O复合氧化物其CO催化还原NO的活性得到改善,而添加Ce后所制备的Mn-Cu-Ce-Zr-O复合氧化物的催化活性进一步提高;在350℃下、反应空速为18000 h~(-1)时,Mn-Cu-Ce-Zr-O复合氧化物表现出较好的CO催化还原NO活性,CO转化率达到了89.17%,NO转化率达到了91.70%。     

Rh-CeO2催化剂表面CO还原NO反应中羟基介导NH3生成问题的探讨

CO催化还原NO是发生在汽车尾气净化催化剂中的一个重要化学反应.CeO2容易发生氧化还原反应CeO2?CeO2?x+(x/2)O2而具有氧储存/释放作用,可以有效地促进CO氧化,因而CeO2作为储氧材料和催化助剂被广泛应用于汽车催化剂中.在过渡金属元素中,铑对NO的解离活性最高,是目前汽车三效催化剂中最为重要的还原性活性组分.目前,有关Rh-CeO2基催化剂表面CO还原NO的文献仅关注催化反应活性和N2O选择性,对CO还原NO反应机理的理解还不够深入准确,无法为轻型汽油车NH3排放控制提供正确有用的理论基础.NH3排放至大气中会以NH4+形式与SO42?和NO3?离子结合,导致二次颗粒物污染,因此,研究CO还原NO反应中NH3生成机理对轻型汽油车NH3排放控制具有非常重要的理论意义.我们研究组强调了CO催化还原NO反应的表面羟基介导NH3生成问题,并通过原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(in-situ DRIFTS),傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR),程序升温还原/氧化(TPR/TPO)等现代分析表征技术深入研究了CO还原NO反应机理,并首次提出了催化剂表面"羟基脱氢"反应的NH3生成机理.研究发现,Rh-CeO2催化剂表面CO还原NO反应的NH3选择性最高可达9.7%,其反应表观活化能仅为36 kJ/mol,in-situ DRIFTS,FT-IR和NO-TPO测试结果表明,NH3的生成可归因于催化剂表面"羟基脱氢"反应,即CO与催化剂表面端位羟基和桥式羟基发生"水煤气转化"反应生成H2,反应产生的H2还原NO生成NH3;CeO2中非骨架铈双羟基化形成的类氢氧化铈物种则会直接与NO发生脱氢反应生成NH3,但需要更高的反应温度.值得注意的是,当反应气中额外通入5%水蒸气时,其反应表观活化能提高了21 kJ/mol(同比增加58.3%),更重要的是NH3选择性明显提高,最高可达25.3%(同比增加160.8%),FT-IR测试结果表明,这是由于水蒸气作用促使催化剂表面羟基化,表面活性氢源得以不断补充.这从动力学角度促进了端位羟基和桥式羟基的"水煤气转化"反应而提高NH3选择性.同时,对比NO/H2,CO/NO和CO/NO/H2O反应的NH3生成浓度,我们还发现,H2O分子与NO的竞争吸附会抑制未解离吸附的NH3进一步还原NO,减少反应生成NH3的消耗,促使更多生成的NH3从催化剂表面脱附至气相中,这也是水蒸气导致NH3选择性明显增加的重要原因.以上结果清晰地表明了催化剂表面"羟基脱氢"作用和水蒸气分子与NO的竞争吸附行为对CO还原NO反应中NH3生成的重要影响.     

层状复合氧化物La~4BaCu~5~-~xMn~xO~1~2的表征及在催化消除NO中活性的研究

采用柠檬酸配合法合成了结构呈层状ABO~3的La~4BaCu~5O~1~2复合氧化物, 并以它为基体合成了一系列Mn取代Cu的样品(La~4BaCu~5~-~xMn~xO~1~2, x=1-5)并利用XRD, IR进行了结构表征, 结果表明其均为5层的ABO~3结构。利用H~2-TPR考查了掺杂Mn以后样品的氧化还原性能的变化, 发现由于Mn的掺杂使Cu明显的容易还原。还考查了样品对NO+CO反应的催化活性, 结果表明反应的活性中心是Cu离子,但加入适量的Mn离子可以使活性提高。     

Fe-Ag/Al_2O_3催化丙烯还原NO的实验研究

以蜂窝状陶瓷为载体,采用溶胶凝胶法和浸渍法制备了不同Fe/Ag负载量的Fe-Ag/Al_2O_3催化剂。以C_3H_6为还原剂,在模拟烟气条件下和200-700℃范围内,程序控温的陶瓷管流动反应器上进行了催化还原NO的性能评估。结果表明,7.2Fe/1.9Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM在500和550℃时催化C_3H_6还原NO的脱硝效率分别超过90%和达到100%。铁离子能有效地提高Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM催化剂抵抗烟气中的SO_2和H_2O的能力。结果表明,当烟气中含有体积分数为0.02%的SO2和8%的H_2O时,在500℃时7.2Fe/1.9Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM催化C_3H_6还原NO的脱硝效率不受影响,在6 h的连续实验中保持90%的脱硝效率而没有下降。而未经铁离子修饰的2Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM的催化活性则受烟气中的SO2和H_2O影响很大,0.02%的SO2和8%的H_2O分别使2Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM在500℃时催化C_3H_6还原NO的脱硝效率迅速从70%分别下降至46%和25%。XRD和SEM表征结果表明,经铁离子修饰后的7.2Fe/1.9Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM催化剂中,形成了AgFeO_2以及Fe~(3+),催化剂表面变得疏松多孔,形成以Fe_3O_4为主的针状和片状晶体。H_2-TPR结果表明,7.2Fe/1.9Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM比Ag/20Al_2O_3/CM在更宽的温度范围内具有更好的还原特性。吡啶吸附红外光谱(Py-FTIR)实验结果显示,Fe增加了催化剂表面的Lewis酸性位。     

Effects of pretreatment and reduction on the Co/Al2O3 catalyst for CO hydrogenation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preadsorbed CO at different temperatures, calcination temperatures, the combined influence of reduction temperature and time, and pretreatment using hydrogen or syngas as reduction agents on the F-T synthesis （FTS） activity and selectivity of Co/Al2O3 catalyst. The reactivity of the carbon species at higher preadsorption temperature with H2 in TPSR decreased, whereas the carbon-containing species showed higher reactivity over Co/Al2O3 catalyst with low calcination temperature. This agreed well with the order of catalytic activity for F-T synthesis on this catalyst. The catalytic activity of the catalyst varied with reduction temperature and time remarkably. CODEX optimization gave an optimum reduction temperature of 756 K and reduction time of 6.2 h and estimated C5＋ yield perfectly. The pretreatment of Co/Al2O3 catalyst with different reduction agents （hydrogen or syngas） showed important influences on the catalytic performance. A high CO conversion and C5＋ yield were obtained on the catalyst reduced by hydrogen, whereas methane selectivity on the catalyst reduced by syngas was much higher than that on the catalyst reduced by hydrogen.     

Cu/La2O3-ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂的制备及其对NO选择性还原的催化性能

采用将Al（NO3）3、La（NO3）3和ZrOCl2的混合液滴入沉淀剂（NH4）2CO3中的共沉淀法制备La2O3-ZrO2-Al2O3复合载体,然后负载上Cu2＋,制成Cu/La2O3-ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂。考察了该催化剂在富氧条件下对C3H6选择还原NO的催化性能,并借助扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线衍射（XRD）、比表面积测定（BET）、吡啶吸附红外光谱（Py-IR）、程序升温还原（TPR）和热重分析（TG）等方法研究催化剂制备方法与结构、性能的关系。实验结果表明,采用将Al（NO3）3滴入（NH4）2CO3制得的γ-Al2O3能有效地增大催化剂的比表面积,加入La2O3能提高催化剂的热稳定性,加入ZrO2能大幅度增加催化剂表面L酸和B酸的酸量。因此,采用共沉淀法制备的La2O3-ZrO2-Al2O3复合载体能够使Cu/La2O3-ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂具有良好的催化性能,最佳催化活性温度为300℃,NO最大转化率高达88.9%,在有10%水蒸气存在的情况下,仍可达81.9%。     

Influence of NO on the Reduction of NO2 with CO over Pt/SiO2 in the Presence of O2

Reduction of NO2 with CO in the presence of NO and excess oxygen, a model mixture for flue gas, over a 0.1% Pt/SiO2 catalyst was studied. The related reaction mechanisms, such as oxidation of CO and NO, were discussed. It was found that there was a narrow temperature window （180-190 ℃） for the reduction of NO2 by CO. When the temperature was lower than the lower limit of the window, the reduction hardly occurred, while when the temperature was higher than the upper limit of the window, the direct oxidation of CO by O2 occurred and thereby NO2 could not be effectively reduced by CO. The presence of NO shifted the window to higher temperatures owing to the inhibition effect of NO on the activation of O2 on Pt, which made it possible to reduce NO2 by CO in flue gas.     

氧化还原预处理对一氧化碳低温氧化Pd/CeO2-TiO2催化剂性能的影响

研究了氧化还原预处理对溶胶-凝胶法制备的CeO2-TiO2复合氧化物负载Pd催化剂上CO低温氧化性能的影响，并对催化剂的稳定性进行了考察。H2-TPR结果表明，83 ℃的耗氢峰是PdO和载体中CeO2共同还原的结果，高温还原后Pd与载体之间相互作用加强。经高温氧化(500 ℃)低温还原(150 ℃)预处理的催化剂CO低温氧化活性最好，在反应气组成为0.5% CO＋1.6% O2＋6.0%N2＋Ar，空速为30 000 mL·g－1·h－1，程序升温反应显示CO完全转化温度为48 ℃，这种预处理方式能够形成适宜的载体与金属间相互作用。稳定性实验在室温下进行，反应气组成为0.6% CO＋14.7% O2+55.3％N2＋Ar，Pd/CeO2-TiO2催化剂具有较好的低温反应稳定性，100%CO转化率可持续12 h。     

Mg/Al物质的量比对Ce-La/MgAl2O4-x催化剂催化CO还原NO性能的影响

采用初始浸渍法制备了不同Mg/Al物质的量比的Ce-La/MgAl₂O₄-x催化剂,并通过低温N₂-吸附脱附、XRD、H₂-TPR和CO-TPR等手段对其进行了表征。结果表明,在Mg/Al物质的量比为0.5时,催化剂催化CO还原NO的性能最好。这主要是因为适量Mg的添加促进了CeO₂的分散和Ce-O-La固溶体的形成,从而使得表面Ce³⁺和氧空穴增加。两者的协同作用使得Ce-La/MgAl₂O₄-0.5表现出最佳的催化性能。另外,适量Mg的引入可以抑制Ce（SO₄）₂和Ce₂（SO₄）₃的形成,从而提高了Ce-La/MgAl₂O₄-0.5催化剂抗硫中毒能力。     

DTA,TG studies of catalytic oxidation of carbon particles over M2 III O3 (MIII=Al,Cr, Fe,Ni)

Carbonizate as a model soot has been submitted to oxidation using Al₂O₃, Cr₂O₃, Ni₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ as catalysts in the temperature range from RT up to 1000°C. The results obtained indicate that Fe₂O₃ is the most active catalyst in soot oxidation. However, all the catalysts examined are active in transformation of carbonizate components. It has been shown that DTA and TG methods can be used as fast methods testing the carbonizate oxidation.

Synergistic Effect of Simultaneous Doping of Ceria Nanorods with Cu and Cr on CO Oxidation and NO Reduction

Ceria particles play a key role in catalytic applications such as automotive three-way catalytic systems in which toxic CO and NO are oxidized and reduced to safe CO₂ and N₂, respectively. In this work, we explore the incorporation of Cu and Cr metals as dopants in the crystal structure of ceria nanorods prepared by a single-step hydrothermal synthesis. XRD, Raman and XPS confirm the incorporation of Cu and Cr in the ceria crystal lattices, offering ceria nanorods with a higher concentration of oxygen vacancies. XPS also confirms the presence of Cr and Cu surface species. H₂-TPR and XPS analysis show that the simultaneous Cu and Cr co-doping results in a catalyst with a higher surface Cu concentration and a much-enhanced surface reducibility, in comparison with either undoped or singly doped (Cu or Cr) ceria nanorods. While single Cu doping enhances catalytic CO oxidation and Cr doping improves catalytic NO reduction, co-doping with both Cu and Cr enhances the benefits of both dopants in a synergistic manner employing roughly a quarter of dopant weight.     

V2O5-Sb2O3-TiO2催化剂 低温NH3还原NO及其抗H2O和SO2毒化性能

浸渍法制备了催化剂V₂O₅-Sb₂O₃-TiO₂,考察了V₂O₅、Sb₂O₃负载量、pH值和焙烧温度对催化剂V₂O₅- Sb₂O₃-TiO₂低温氨选择性催化还原(SCR)NO活性的影响;同时,考察了催化剂V₂O₅-Sb₂O₃-TiO₂抗H₂O和SO₂毒化性能。结果表明,V₂O₅和Sb₂O₃负载量分别为5%和2%、焙烧温度为400℃、pH值为4时,催化剂SCR活性最好,反应温度220℃时,可达97%。Sb₂O₃的加入不仅能增强V₂O₅/TiO₂的催化活性,而且能明显提高催化剂的抗H₂O和SO₂毒化性能。SO₂、NO吸附暂态反应和TG-DTG测试表明,Sb₂O₃的促进机制主要是促进了催化剂在SO₂存在条件下对NO的吸附,同时,减弱了硫酸铵盐与催化剂之间的相互作用,硫酸铵盐更容易分解。     

铁铈复合氧化物催化剂SCR脱硝反应动力学研究

利用共沉淀法制备了铁铈复合氧化物催化剂,在积分实验系统上考察了NO初始浓度、NH₃/NO比及O₂浓度对其SCR脱硝活性的影响;并借助微分系统探讨了其SCR脱硝的催化反应动力学,构建了铁铈复合氧化物催化剂的催化脱硝反应动力学模型.实验结果表明,NO初始浓度越高,每克催化剂的NO转化率越高;随着NH₃/NO比的增加,NO转化率先迅速增加后趋势减缓,最终趋于稳定;O₂在NH₃-SCR反应中起着重要的作用;在175~225 ℃下,Fe_0.95Ce_0.05O_z催化剂的NO和NH₃反应级数分别为1级和0级,O₂的反应级数接近0.5级,该反应的表观活化能为42.6 kJ/mol.     

钛铝载体的合成及负载CuO对NO催化性能研究

TPR 结果显示12%CuO/15%TiO2/[alpha]-Al2O3在整个TPR 过程中出现四个还原峰, 琢和酌还原峰分别是钛铝载体表面裸露的TiO2上高度分散的CuO 和晶相CuO 的还原；茁和啄还原峰为钛铝载体上高度分散的CuO 和晶相CuO 的还原. FT-IR实验表明NO和CO 在经H2气氛预处理的催化剂表面上吸附较强, 且生成了N2O 和NO2等物种；NO+CO混合气在经空气和H2预处理的催化剂表面吸附时, 出现了N2O吸收峰, 峰温分别为200C[deg]和150C[deg].     

Selective Oxidation of CO in Excess H2 over Ru/Al2O3 Catalysts Modified with Metal Oxide

The Ru/Al_2O_3 catalysts modified with metal oxide(K_2O and La_2O_3)were prepared via incipient wetness impregnation method from RuCl_3·nH_2O mixed with nitrate loading on Al_2O3 support. The activity of catalysts was evaluated under simulative conditions for the preferential oxidation of CO (CO-PROX)from the hydrogen-rich gas streams produced by reforming gas,and the performances of catalysts were investigated by XRD and TPR.The results showed that the activity temperature of the modified catalysts Ru-K_2O/Al_2O3 and Ru-La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 were lowered approximately 30℃compared with pure Ru/Al_2O_3,and the activity temperature range was widened.The conversion of CO on Ru-K_2O/Al_2O_3 and Ru-La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 was above 99% at 140-160℃,suitable to remove CO in a hydrogen-rich gas and the selectivity of Ru-La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 was higher than that of Ru-K_2O/Al_2O_3 in the active temperature range. Slight methanation reaction was detected at 220℃and above.     

Effects of Carrier on CuO／TiO2 and CuO／Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 Catalysts in the NO＋CO Reaction

Using TiO2 and Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 as carriers, the CuO/TiO2 and CuO/Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method with Cu(NO3)2 as active component. The catalytic activities in NO CO reaction were investigated using a microreactor-GC system, and structure and reducibility of catalysts were characterized by means of physical adsorption, TPR, XRD, NO-TPD technologies. It was found that the activity of CuO/Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 catalyst was higher than that of CuO/TiO2, probably due to the large specific surface area of Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 that played an important role in NO CO reaction.
