Influence of oxides of the rare earth elements (La2O3, CeO2) on the thermal stability of highly dispersed aluminum oxide

It has been established that addition of oxides of the rare earth elements (La₂O₃, CeO₂, and their mixtures) increases the thermal stability of the porous structure of highly dispersed aluminum oxide-a secondary carrier of structured catalysts. The greatest stabilizing effect was noted with La₂O₃. The reason for this effect is the formation of a solid solution of La₂O₃ in Al₂O₃ which prevents the diffusion of aluminum ions and slows the transition of low temperature modifications of Al₂O₃ into high temperature α-Al₂O₃. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 318–323, September–October, 2006.

These properties have been correlated with the catalytic activity of these oxides towards esterification of acetic acid usingn-butanol.     

Effect of rare earth oxides on the thermal decomposition of barium oxalate

Catalytic activity of rare earth oxides (REO); La₂O₃, Sm₂O₃, Gd₂O₃ and Ce₂O₃ on the isothermal decomposition of barium oxalate has been studied at 723 K. The α?t plots for pure salt as well as mixtures indicate that the process follows: initial gas evolution, a short acceleratory and a long decay stages. The results of the kinetic analysis show that Prout-Tompkins relationship and two-dimensional phase boundary reaction give best fit of the data for both pure salt as well as mixtures. The rate constants of acceleratory and decay periods are enhanced remarkably by adding REO admixtures and their catalytical activity is in the order La₂O₃>Sm₂O₃>Gd₂O₃ >Ce₂O₃. The plausible mechanism of decomposition and the role of admixture there on has been discussed in the light of electron transfer process.     

镧系元素对Pd/Al2O3的修饰及其与丙烯腈气相加氢的关联

用浸渍法制备了镧系元素(Ce,La,Sm)修饰的低负载Pd(0.05 w.t%)/A l2O3催化剂,并应用于丙烯腈选择性加氢反应,实验结果表明:这种方法制备的催化剂对丙烯腈具有很好的选择性,镧系元素的添加大大促进了催化剂的活性和稳定性。XRD的测试结果表明稀土元素铈的添加减弱了Pd和载体A l2O3之间的相互作用,从而导致了Pd从载体表面游离出来。从TEM照片上可以看出催化剂颗粒尺寸的变化。XPS的测试结果表明用镧系元素修饰的Pd的结合能向较高能级发生了转移,从而使得钯被还原为零价。     

甲烷在金属铁及氧化铁表面还原NO的研究

在程序控温电加热水平陶瓷管反应器、N₂气氛和模拟烟气气氛及300~1 100℃时,对甲烷在金属铁及其氧化铁表面还原NO的特性进行了实验研究。为使甲烷在脱硝反应后完全燃尽以及脱硝反应过程生成的CO等中间产物完全燃尽,在第一段加热炉后串联了第二段加热炉,补充氧气,实现燃尽。结果表明,甲烷在金属铁及氧化铁表面能够高效地还原NO。在N₂气氛中,在900℃以上温度范围内甲烷在金属铁表面的脱硝效率超过95%,与甲烷在氧化铁表面的脱硝效率差别很小。在模拟烟气条件下,当过量空气系数小于1.0时,在900℃以上时,甲烷在金属铁和氧化铁表面的脱硝效率都能超过90%,且未燃尽和燃尽两种条件下NO的还原率相差不大。NO同时通过金属铁的直接还原和甲烷的再燃还原两种反应机理脱除。而甲烷则通过还原氧化铁为金属铁,从而使金属铁直接还原NO可持续进行。同时,甲烷再燃反应的中间产物HCN/NH₃等被氧化铁还原,从而使燃尽后的脱硝效率不下降。研究结果表明,甲烷和金属铁或氧化铁在富燃料条件下可有效地还原NO。     

Influence of CeO2 and La2O3 on properties of palladium catalysts used for emission control of natural gas vehicles

Pd/YZ-Al2O3 (Y and Zr modified Al2O3, and hereafter, labelled as Al) catalysts with 4 wt% additive CeO2 and/or La2O3 were prepared and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NO-temperature programmed desorption (NO-TPD), N2-adsorption/desorption (Brunauer-Emmet-Teller BET method), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and CO-chemisorption. Catalytic activities for CH4, CO and NO conversion were tested in a gas mixture simulated the emissions from natural gas vehicles (NGVs) operated under stoichiometric conditions. The results indicated that all catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performances for CH4 and CO oxidation and the promoting effect of CeO2 or La2O3 was significant for NO conversion. XPS results showed that the electron density around Pd was increased by CeO2 and/or La2O3, the binding energy of Pd 3d decreased as the order: Pd/Al>Pd/Ce/Al>Pd/La/Al>Pd/CeLa/Al. The electron-rich Pd showed Rh-like catalytic properties which exhibited good activity for the reduction of NO. NO-TPD results showed that the addition of CeO2 and/or La2O3 increased NO adsorption on surface, and promoted the conversion of NO.     

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。     

MO?ZrO2 catalysts for nitrogen oxides reduction by hydrocarbons in oxygen excess. Preparation and properties

The physico-chemical and catalytic properties of MO–ZrO₂ systems (where M is Ca, Sr, Ba) have been studied as a function of the synthesis parameters. Finely powdered heterogeneous mixtures of solid solutions with cubic+monoclinic or tetragonal+monoclinic phase composition were found to be formed. These systems possess quite good high-temperature activity in the reaction of NOx selective reduction by propane under oxygen excess. For a given system, the rate constant depends linearly upon the M–O bond dissociation energy in the surface layer, the slope being positive for Ca and Sr and negative for Ba.     

硫酸化对CeO2-ZrO2催化剂上NH3选择催化还原NO反应的影响

由发电厂等固定源和柴油机等移动源排放的一氧化氮(NO)造成的环境污染问题日益严重.随着严苛的排放法规出台,NO排放控制技术受到越来越多关注.NH3选择性催化还原(SCR)技术是目前去除NO应用最为广泛的方法之一.商业催化剂V2O5-WO3/TiO2在300–400℃温度窗口内显示出优越的NO去除效率,但仍存在一些问题,如钒氧化物的毒性以及在高温时形成N2O和SO3.因此,开发出低钒或无钒的新型催化剂是解决上述问题的关键.CeO2和含铈材料是重要的催化剂载体,具有良好的还原能力和氧存储功能,因而广泛应用于催化领域.CeO2添加到商用催化剂中不仅可以降低钒用量,而且可以提高催化剂抗碱金属中毒能力.CeO2-WO3催化剂在200℃以上时比商用催化剂具有更宽的温度窗口,并展现出较高的抗SO2和碱金属中毒能力.CeO2-ZrO2催化剂通过添加过渡金属元素可以提升其SCR活性,在较宽的温度窗口内具有较高的催化活性.废气中SO2可导致催化剂失活,在实际应用中催化剂硫中毒是较为常见的催化剂失效原因.通常情况下,锰基和铁基催化剂最容易硫中毒.然而CeO2催化剂在硫酸化处理后却展现出良好的SCR活性.催化剂硫酸化主要包括气相、液相和前驱体硫化三种方法.三种方法各有异同,但在催化剂表面形成的硫物种都是SO42–.硫酸化可以增强Ce基催化剂的SCR活性,但是对于硫化引起的催化剂表面酸性、氧化还原性以及NO吸附脱附性质的详细研究报道较少.本文通过液相法对CeO2-ZrO2(CeZr)催化剂进行了硫酸化.XRD结果表明,硫酸化并未对催化剂结晶结构产生影响.TPD和TPR结果表明,硫酸化后催化剂(S-CeZr)表面酸性增强,但抑制了其氧化性.通过原位红外光谱技术系统研究了催化剂在SCR反应过程中表面物种的变化,结果发现,CeZr和S-CeZr的催化机理相同,不同的SCR活性主要是由表面酸性和氧化性引起的.CeO2基催化剂在不同温度窗口遵循不同反应机理.CeZr催化剂具有较强的氧化还原性,使其对NO和NH3具有很强的氧化能力,所以其在低于200℃时具有较好的SCR活性.而S-CeZr催化剂具有更多的Br?nsted酸性位,导致NO不易吸附在催化剂表面,所以其在低温时SCR活性较差,但在高温时(>200℃)具有优良的SCR活性.通过SCR活性和反应机理研究,发现在高温时(>200℃),表面酸性尤其是强酸Br?nsted酸性位在SCR反应中起到决定性作用;而在低温时(<200℃),酸性位对NH3分子较强的键合作用导致NH3难以被氧化,所以较强的酸性位对SCR活性具有抑制作用,而氧化还原性在低温时对SCR反应起到主要作用.同时,在高温时,较高的氧化性可使NH3被O2直接氧化,导致N2选择性降低.     

Sm对MoO3-Bi2O3催化剂性能的影响

在MoO3-B i2O3催化剂中加入稀土氧化物Sm2O3,在固定床反应器中考查了Sm2O3添加量、反应温度、异丁烯浓度、原料气流量等对异丁烯转化为甲基丙烯醛反应的影响。实验表明,添加Sm2O3可明显提高异丁烯的转化率和甲基丙烯醛的选择性。用XRD技术研究了催化剂的组成,Mo-B i-O催化剂的成分主要是B i2O3和MoO3的混合物,添加Sm后出现了Sm2Mo3O12的衍射峰,且衍射峰的强度随着Sm添加量的增加而增强。     

CeO2、CaO助剂对甲烷部分氧化制合成气Ni/MgOAl2O3催化剂结构和性能的影响

采用BET、H2 TPR、XRD、TEM和活性评价等表征手段，考察了CeO2、CaO助剂对Ni/MgOAl2O3催化剂物化性质和甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应性能的影响。实验结果表明，单独加入CeO2或CaO助剂可以改善Ni/ MgOAl2O3催化剂中镍物种的还原性能，以CaO尤为明显；CaO作为结构助剂可以降低还原态催化剂中的镍晶粒尺寸，使改性的催化剂具有较好的活性，而CeO2对催化剂的活性未产生显著影响。当CeO2与CaO两种助剂同时对Ni/MgOAl2O3进行改性时，虽然催化剂中镍物种的还原性能没有发生明显变化，但仍具有很好的反应性能，这与CeO2与CaO能够形成CaO-CeO2固溶体有关。CaO-CeO2固溶体不仅与镍物种间存在相互作用，提高了镍物种的分散度、减小了镍晶粒尺寸，还可以提高催化剂的储氧能力和晶格氧的流动性，从而有利于改善其甲烷部分氧化反应性能。     

BaO对蒽醌氢化制过氧化氢Pd/Al2O3催化剂性能的影响

采用湿浸渍法制备了用于蒽醌氢化生产H2O2的含BaO的Pd/δ,θ-Al2O3系列催化剂,利用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、氮气物理吸附、氢-氧滴定和电子探针等技术手段考察了不同BaO含量对Pd/δ,θ-Al2O3催化剂性能的影响.结果表明,适量BaO的添加能抑制Al2O3的高温烧结,增大载体的比表面积,提高催化剂上金属Pd的分散度,减小Pd层厚度以及提高催化剂表面的Pd浓度,从而提高了催化剂的氢化活性.在钯负载量相同时,添加3%的BaO可使催化剂的活性提高25%左右.

La2O3对Pd/Al2O3催化蒽醌氢化制H2O2性能的影响

 采用湿浸法制备了用于蒽醌氢化制H2O2的La2O3促进的Pd/Al2O3催化剂,并考察了不同La2O3含量对催化性能的影响. 采用XRD,N2物理吸附,CO2-TPD,H2-O2滴定和电子探针等技术对催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明,加入适量的La2O3能够抑制高温焙烧时Al2O3晶粒的长大,增大催化剂的比表面积,提高金属Pd的分散度,增强载体表面碱性,提高催化剂表面的Pd浓度,减小Pd层厚度,从而提高催化剂的氢化活性. 加入La2O3可使催化剂的Pd负载量由0.281%降至0.188%,而催化剂活性提高了44%.     

Hydrogen production from coke oven gas over LiNi/γ-Al2O3 catalyst modified by rare earth metal oxide in a membrane reactor

The performance of LiNi/r-Al2O3 catalysts modified by rare earth metal oxide (La2O3 or CeO2) packed on BCFNO membrane reactor was discussed for the partial oxidation of methane (POM) in coke oven gas (COG) at 875 ◦C. The NiO/r-Al2O3 catalysts with different amounts of La2O3 and CeO2 were prepared with the same preparation method and under the same condition in order to compare the reaction performance (oxygen permeation, CH4 conversion, H2 and CO selectivity) on the membrane reactor. The results show that the oxygen permeation flux increased significantly with LiNiREOx/r-Al2O3 (RE = La or Ce) catalysts by adding the element of rare earth especially the Ce during the POM in COG. Such as, the Li15wt%CeO29wt%NiO/ -Al2O3 catalyst with an oxygen permeation flux of 24.71 ml·cm−2·min−1 and a high CH4 conversion was obtained in 875 ◦C. The resulted high oxygen permeation flux may be due to the added Ce that inhibited the strong interaction between Ni and Al2O3 to form the NiAl2O4 phase. In addition, the introduction of Ce leads up to an important property of storing and releasing oxygen.     

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.

铈对低负载Pd/Al2O3催化剂加氢丙烯腈的改性效应

钯基催化剂对烯烃及烯烃类衍生物有很好的加氢活性。但钯催化剂价格昂贵,单一的钯容易中毒失活,研究表明：掺入稀土氧化物能够提高钯催化剂在载体上的分散度,增大其氧化及氢化活性,提高催化剂的寿命及稳定性。但稀土助剂对双键选择性加氢影响的研究却很少有报
