On the Role of Vanadia Species for VOx／SiO2 in the Selective Oxidation of Methane

Various VOx/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by the methods of physical mixing, conventional wetness impregnation and ultrasonication-assistant impregnation. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, UV-Vis DRS, Raman, TPR, ESR and TPSR techniques and the nature of the vanadium species were correlated to their catalytic performance in the reaction of direct conversion of methane to formaldehyde. It is concluded that highly dispersed monomeric and low oligomeric vanadia species are formed on the sample prepared with both traditional wetness impregnation method and ultrasonication-assistant impregnation, whereas in the latter case, the amount of oligomeric vanadia species is much smaller. The V2O5 microcrystallines are the dominant species on the material prepared by physical mixing method. During the selective oxidation of methane, Vv species are reduced to V^IV paramagnetic species and both microcrystalline V205 species and oligomeric vanadia species are found to further disperse and transform into tetrahedral vanadia species. Based on the results of UV Raman spectroscopy and TPSR, C02 is suggested to be formed via two different routes, in which one is from the sequence reaction of CH4→ HCHO→ CO → CO2 over monomeric vanadia species, and the other is from the direct oxidation of methane to CO2 over oligomeric vanadia species. Oligomeric vanadia species is more active than monomeric vanadia species for methane activation.     

High Activity SnO2／Al2O3 Catalyst for NO Reduction in the Presence of Oxygen

The novel sol-gel SnO2/Al2O3 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction NO by propene under lean burn condition were investigated. The results showed thatthe maximum NO conversion was 82% on the SnO2/Al2O3 (5%Sn) catalyst, and the presence of H20 and SO2 improved the catalytic activity at low temperature. The catalytic activity of NO2 reduction by propene is much higher than that of NO at the entire temperature range, and the maximum NO2 conversion reached nearly 100% around the temperature 425℃.     

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.     

Influence of Sulfation on the Catalytic Activity of Ni-ZrO2 for NO Reduction with Propane in Excess Oxygen

Selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of nitric oxide with propane in excess oxygen was investigated on Ni-ZrO2 （NZ） and sulfated Ni-ZrO2 （SNZ）, prepared by coprecipitation from a mixture of nickel nitrate-zirconium oxychloride followed by modifying with （NH4）2SO4. It was found that sulfated Ni-ZrO2 catalyst showed higher activity for the SCR of NO with propane than that of Ni-ZrO2. The structural and surface properties of catalysts were studied by XRD, BET, SEM and FT-IR of pyridine adsorption. The experimental results indicated that the modification of （NH4）2SO4 resulted in the generation of strong BrOnsted and Lewis acid sites and promoted the dispersion of the Ni species, which could lead to higher NO conversion and propane efficiency in NO reduction.     

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.     

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.     

Reaction Chemistry of W—Mn／SiO2 Catalyst for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane

Reaction chemistry of the OCM reaction on W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst has been reviewed in this account.Initial activity and selectivity,stability in a long-term reaction,reaction at elevated pressures and a modelling test in a stainless-steel fluidized-bed reactor show that W-Mn/SiO2 has promising performance for the development of an OCM process that directly produces ethylene from natural gas.A study on surface catalytic reaction kinetics and used cataly st structure characterization revealed a possible reason why C2 and COx selectivity changed during the long-term reaction.Further improvement of the catalyst composition and preparation metbod should be a future direction of study on OCM reaction over W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst.

Effect of Support Calcination Temperature on Ag Structure and Catalytic Activity for CO Oxidation

SiO₂ with different nanostructures, namely hexagonal mesoporous silica(HMS), and three unordered commercial silica, were used as supports to fabricate silver catalysts using an incipient wetness impregnation method. It was found that Ag/HMS catalyst showed a high catalytic activity. Next, the HMS support was calcined at different temperatures before impregnation of AgNO₃.

The support and catalysts were characterized by N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, Thermogravimetric-differential thermal analyzer, X-ray diffraction, H₂-temperature program reduction and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that calcination of HMS at an appro- priate temperature(750℃) before catalyst preparation would benefit the formation of highly dispersive small sized Ag particles on the HMS support and markedly enhance the catalytic activity of Ag/HMS catalyst toward CO oxidation.
