Improved CO oxidation activity in the presence and absence of hydrogen over cluster-derived PtFe/SiO2 catalysts

The catalytic performance of cluster-derived PtFe/SiO(2) bimetallic catalysts for the oxidation of CO has been examined in the absence and presence of H(2) (PROX) and compared to that of Pt/SiO(2). PtFe(2)/SiO(2) and Pt(5)Fe(2)/SiO(2) samples were prepared from PtFe(2)(COD)(CO)(8) and Pt(5)Fe(2)(COD)(2)(CO)(12) organometallic cluster precursors, respectively. FTIR data indicate that both clusters can be deposited intact on the SiO(2) support. The clusters remained weakly bonded to the SiO(2) surface and could be extracted with CH(2)Cl(2) without any significant changes in their structure. Subsequent heating in H(2) led to complete decarbonylation of the supported clusters at approximately 350 degrees C and the formation of Pt-Fe nanoparticles with sizes in the 1-2 nm range, as indicated by HRTEM imaging. A few larger nanoparticles enriched in Pt were also observed, indicating that a small fraction of the deposited clusters were segregated to the individual components following the hydrogen treatment. A higher degree of metal dispersion and more homogeneous mixing of the two metals were observed during HRTEM/XEDS analysis with the cluster-derived samples, as compared to a PtFe/SiO(2) catalyst prepared through a conventional impregnation route. Furthermore, the cluster-derived PtFe(2)/SiO(2) and Pt(5)Fe(2)/SiO(2) samples were more active than Pt/SiO(2) and the conventionally prepared PtFe/SiO(2) sample for the oxidation of CO in air. However, substantial deactivation was also observed, indicating that the properties of the Pt-Fe bimetallic sites in the cluster-derived samples were altered by exposure to the reactants. The Pt(5)Fe(2)/SiO(2) sample was also more active than Pt/SiO(2) for PROX with a selectivity of approximately 92% at 50 degrees C. In this case, the deactivation with time on stream was substantially slower, indicating that the highly reducing environment under the PROX conditions helps maintain the properties of the active Pt-Fe bimetallic sites.     

Fast pyrolysis of coals under N2 and CO2 atmospheres

Oxyfuel combustion represents one way for cleaner energy production using coal as combustible. The comparison between the oxycombustion and the conventional air combustion process starts with the investigation of the pyrolysis step. The aim of this contribution is to evaluate the impact of N₂ (for conventional air combustion) and CO₂ (for oxy-fuel combustion) atmospheres during pyrolysis of three different coals. The experiments are conducted in a drop tube furnace over a wide temperature range 800–1400 °C and for residence time ranging between 0.2 and 1.2 s. Coal devolatilized in N₂ and CO₂ atmospheres at low temperatures (?1200 °C) and longer residence times (>?0.5 s), the char-CO₂ reaction is clearly observed, whose intensity depends on the nature of the coal. Furthermore, the volatile yields are simulated using Kobayashi’s scheme and kinetic parameters are predicted for each coal. The char gasification under CO₂ is also accounted for by the model.

     

Restructuring-induced activity of SiO(2)-supported large au nanoparticles in low-temperature CO oxidation

Large Au nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 10 nm supported on inert SiO(2) become active in low-temperature CO oxidation after the addition of NaNO(3). The catalyst structures have been characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The NaNO(3) additive in Au/SiO(2) catalysts does not lead to the formation of fine Au nanoparticles, which are generally considered to be inevitable in low-temperature CO oxidation catalyzed by gold, nor does it alter the electronic structure of Au. The NaNO(3)-induced restructuring of large Au nanoparticles was proposed to create low-coordinated Au sites on the surface capable of catalyzing low-temperature CO oxidation. These results experimentally prove that the activity of supported Au nanoparticles in low-temperature CO oxidation could solely arise from their geometric structure, which greatly deepens the fundamental understandings of Au nanocatalysis.

Pt-CeO2/SiO2催化剂用于室温湿空气中CO氧化反应

开发室温CO氧化催化剂的主要挑战是CO自中毒和慢的表面动力学,同时湿气的存在也可导致催化剂失活.本文开发了高活性CeO2促进的Pt基催化剂4%Pt-12%CeO2/SiO2,用于室温湿气(湿度10%?90%,25°C)中CO氧化反应,在低CO浓度(<500 ppm)和高CO浓度(>2500 ppm)时,CO转化率高于99%.优化了催化剂制备变量,如Pt和CeO2负载量、CeO2沉积方法、CeO2和Pt前驱体的干燥和焙烧条件.采用CO/H2化学吸附、O2-H2滴定、X射线衍射和BET比表面积测定表征了催化剂的表面特性,并将其与催化剂活性相关联.结果表明,CeO2沉积方法对催化剂活性影响显著,当用浸渍法沉积CeO2时,所得催化剂的反应速率(5.77μmol/g/s)比用沉积沉淀法(1.96μmol g?1 s?1)或CeO2嫁接法(1.31μmol g?1 s?1)制得催化剂的高3倍.O2-H2滴定结果表明,当用浸渍法沉积CeO2时,CeO2和Pt的紧密结合导致了催化剂的高活性.催化剂载体的选择也非常重要,硅胶负载的催化剂活性(5.77μmol g?1 s?1)是氧化铝负载的(1.05μmol g?1 s?1)5倍.当反应受内扩散控制时,催化剂载体的粒径和孔结构影响非常大.另外,CeO2和Pt前驱体的干燥和焙烧条件对催化剂活性的影响至关重要.当Pt和CeO2含量分别大于2.5和15 wt%时,所得催化剂在室温条件下活性高(TOF>0.02 s?1),稳定性好(反应15 h,CO转化率≥99%).     

Gold nanoparticles deposited on SiO2/Si100: correlation between size,electron structure,and activity in CO oxidation

Nanosize gold particles were prepared by Ar(+) ion implantation of 10-nm thick gold film deposited onto a SiO(2)/Si(100) wafer possessing no catalytic activity in the CO oxidation. Along with size reduction the valence band of the gold particles and the actual size were determined by ultraviolet- and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS, XPS) and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The catalytic activity was determined in the CO oxidation. Energy distribution of the photoelectrons excited from 5d valence band of gold was strongly affected by Ar(+) implantation. This variation was interpreted by the redistribution of the valence band density of states (DOS). The intrinsic catalytic activity of the gold particles increased with decreasing size. When an Au/FeO(x) interface was created by FeO(x) deposition on large gold nanoparticles, a significant increase in the rate of the CO oxidation was observed. These data can be regarded as an experimental verification of the correlation between the catalytic activity and valence band density of states of gold.

二氧化碳在Pd/SiO2和La-Pd/SiO2上的催化氢化反应

对CO₂在附载型Pd催化剂上的氢化反应的研究迄今报道不多^[1,2],且都在加压条件下进行,对常压下助催剂如何改善Pd的催化行为未见报道。本文探讨了Pd/SiO₂催化剂,未加与掺加助催剂La(NO₃)₃后,其Pd粒大小、CO₂的吸附性能及CO₂/H₂催化活性等方面都有显著差异。     

ZrO2助剂对Ni/SiO2催化剂CO甲烷化催化活性及其吸附性能的影响

采用连续流动微反装置和原位漫反射红外光谱法考察了Ni/SiO₂及添加ZrO₂助剂的Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂CO甲烷化催化活性和吸附性能。结果表明,在CO体积分数 1%、空速 5000h^-1、常压的反应条件下,200℃时Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂可将CO完全转化。而相同反应条件下Ni/SiO₂催化剂上CO的转化率仅为35%,直至270℃时方可将CO完全转化。由此可见,ZrO₂助剂的添加明显提高了Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂的CO甲烷化催化活性。同时,ZrO₂助剂的添加显著提高了Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂对CO的吸附能力,H₂存在时可通过在较低温度时形成较多的桥式羰基氢化物来提高Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂的CO甲烷化催化活性;CO甲烷化反应条件下,Ni/SiO₂和Ni/ZrO₂-SiO₂催化剂上C-O键的削弱和断裂是经由羰基氢化物 多氢羰基氢化物的途径,而不是经由C-O键的直接断裂途径。     

Low-temperature CO oxidation over CuO-CeO2/SiO2 catalysts：Effect of CeO2 content and carrier porosity

The effects of CeO2 contents and silica carder porosity with their pore diameters ranging from 5.2 nm to 12.5 nm of CuO-CeO2/SiO2 catalysts in CO oxidation were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption at low temperature, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction by H2 (H2-TPR), oxygen temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results suggested that, the ceria content and the porosity of SiO2 carder possessed great impacts on the structures and catalytic performances of CuO-CeO2/SiO2 catalysts. When appropriate content of CeO2(Ce content ≤8 wt%) was added, the catalytic activity was greatly enhanced. In the catalyst supported on silica carrier with larger pore diameter, higher dispersion of CuO was observed, better agglomeration-resistant capacity was displayed and more lattice oxygen could be found, thus the CuO-CeO2 supported on Si-1 showed higher catalytic activity for low-temperature CO oxidation.     

Combustion of aluminum particles in a high-temperature furnace under various O2/CO2/H2O atmospheres

The study focusing on the combustion of flowing aluminum particles and the properties of condensed phase products has important guiding significance for the practical application of aluminum-based propellants. Based upon an in-house built dynamic combustion experimental system, the dynamic combustion process of aluminum particles and the properties of condensed phase products under different atmospheres were studied in detail. The microstructure, size distribution and active aluminum content of samples were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, laser particle analyzer and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. By monitoring the temperature distribution at different points in the furnace, the heat release of the samples at different positions is approximated, and the combustion efficiency is calculated. In the atmosphere containing CO₂, the maximum combustion efficiency can reach the value of 94.41%, followed by that in H₂O atmosphere, which had the value of 81.19%. Finally, under the N₂ containing atmosphere, the combustion is the weakest, and has the value of only 53.91%, confirming that the combustion followed the following descending order: CO₂?>?H₂O?>?N₂. The condensed phase products were mainly composed of agglomerates formed by the aggregation of particles and alumina smoke. It is well known that the reaction of the sample in the furnace not only follows the melt-dispersion mechanism, but also the diffusion mechanism. The high-speed camera captured four typical combustion forms of aluminum particles during flow, which are stable combustion, release of alumina smoke, crushing and extinction. The average burning time of four stages were studied. The two reaction mechanisms occurring under the same reaction conditions are determined by the nature of aluminum particles themselves.

Study of MO2N catalyst activity and stability in CO oxidation

Unsupported molybdenum nitride powder with S_g of 115 m²g⁻¹ (passivated) has been prepared by the temperature-programmed reaction of MoO₃ in H₂/N₂ mixture. It exhibited high catalytic activity in CO oxidation. DTA experiments in the air flow and O₂ temperature-programmed pulse reaction (TPPR) showed that the optimal oxidation temperature for the Mo₂N catalyst was under 450°C because of its instability at high temperature in the presence of O₂.     

Adsorption and kinetics of the oxidation of ethylene on PdCl2/SiO2

A new variant of the kinetic distributive method was used to study the kinetics of the oxidation of ethylene by PdCl₂ complexes supported on silica gel taking account of the equilibrium distribution of ethylene between the gas phase, silica gel, and metal complex reaction sites. Mono-, bi-, and polynuclear palladium(II) species are found to participate in the reaction. The Pd^II activity increases with increasing amount of nuclei in the species. L. M.

Studies on TiO2/SiO2 and Pd/TiO2/SiO2 Catalysts in Photoreduction of CO2 with H2O to Methanol

The development of industry induced a massive increase in the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A large amount of CO₂ and its general availability causes that it could be a cheap reactant in a reaction that runs in a way similar to photosynthesis in plants. Pure TiO₂ and metal doped TiO₂ are the most studied semiconductor catalysts for photoreduction of CO₂. The TiO₂/SiO₂ and Pd/TiO₂/SiO₂ catalysts were prepared and studied by temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray diffraction analysis, SEM-EDS, temperature-programmed reduction and then used for the methanol synthesis. The photoactivity of Pd/TiO₂/SiO₂ catalysts in the reduction of CO₂ with H₂O was tested at room temperature using photoreactor equipped with 16 lamps. The wavelength was characteristic of near ultraviolet. Post-reaction products were identified with gas chromatograph equipped with the flame ionization detector. Pd doping made the catalysts photoactive and the photoactivity of catalysts was changing as follows: 1%Pd/5%TiO₂/SiO₂ > 1% Pd/10% TiO₂/SiO₂ > 1% Pd/15% TiO₂/SiO₂. Optimum ultraviolet radiation time in the photoreduction of CO₂ to methanol was 7 h. An addition of Pd does not change the surface of the carrier.
