Influence of pH values in the preparation of CuO-CeO2 on its catalytic performance for the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen

CuO-CeO2 catalyst prepared with co-precipitation showed high catalytic performance for the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen (PROX). Influence of pH values in the preparation of CuO-CeO2 on its catalytic performance was investigated in this work. The CuO-CeO2 catalyst prepared at pH = 13.03 had the smallest particle size (5.4 nm), the largest surface areas (138 m2/g) and the highest activity with CO conversion of 99.6% at 130 ℃. The CuO-CeO2 catalyst was characterized using BET, XRD and TPR techniques. The results showed that when the pH value of the mixed solution containing Cu and Ce species was properly adjusted, both the adsorption layers and diffusion layers of the formed colloidal particles in hydroxide precursor of CuO-CeO2 were modified, resulting in the better catalytic performance for PROX on the final CuO-CeO2 catalyst.     

Influence of preparation methods on CuO-CeO2 catalysts in the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen

Influence of three different preparation methods, i.e. impregnation, coprecipitation, and inverse coprecipitation, on the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen （PROX） over CuO-CeO2 catalysts has been investigated and CuO-CeO2 catalysts are characterized using BET, XPS, XRD, UV Raman, and TPR techniques. The results show that the catalysts prepared by coprecipitation have smaller particle sizes, well-dispersed CuOx species, more oxygen vacancies, and are more active in the PROX than those prepared by the other methods. However. the inverse coprecipitation depresses the catalytic performance of CuO-CeO2 catalysts and causes the growth of CuO-CeO2 because of different pH value in the precipitation process.     

Influence of reduction energy match among CuO species in CuO-CeO2 catalysts on the catalytic performance for CO preferential oxidation in excess hydrogen

In the present study, we have investigated the reducibility of CuO species on CuO-CeO2 catalysts and the influence of CuO species on the catalytic performance for CO preferential oxidation (CO PROX) in excess hydrogen. It is revealed that the smaller the difference of reduction temperature (denoted as ?T) for two adjacent CuO species is, the higher the catalytic activity of CuO-CeO2 for the PROX in excess hydrogen may be obtained. It means that if the reduction energy of Cu0-Cu2+ pairs matched better, the reduction-oxidation recycle of Cu0-Cu2+ pairs would go on more easily, then the transferring energy of Cu0-Cu2+ pairs would be lesser. Therefore, the CuO-CeO2 catalysts will be largely improved in their catalytic performance if the different CuO species on the catalysts have matched the reduction energy, which would allows them to cooperate effectively.     

超临界水热合成过渡金属改性铈基催化剂应用于CO-SCR脱硝研究

氮氧化物(NOx)作为煤炭燃烧过程主要污染物之一, 可直接或间接引起如光化学烟雾、酸沉降、平流层臭氧损耗和全球气候变化等大气环境污染问题. NOx的选择性催化还原技术(SCR)被认为是目前处理固定源NOx的最有效方法之一. 由于燃煤工业锅炉烟气中还有1%~3%的CO, 远高于NOx的0.02%~0.04%, 因此, 以CO为还原剂进行CO-SCR脱硝具有现实意义, 它可在反应过程中同时消除CO和NO两种有害气体, 但对催化剂的活性及抗毒性提出更高要求. CeO2作为一种常用的稀土材料, 因具有良好的储放氧能力而广泛应用于SCR反应中. 过渡金属改性可进一步改善CeO2的物化性能, 从而可能达到CO-SCR的应用要求.本文利用超临界水热技术合成了MOx-CeO2(M = Co, Fe, Cu)固溶体催化剂, 并利用X射线衍射(XRD), 氢气程序升温还原(H2-TPR), 傅里叶变换原位红外(DRFTIR)等探究了催化剂在CO-SCR反应中的催化活性与作用机制. CO-SCR反应活性测试表明, CuO-CeO2催化剂活性明显优于FeOx-CeO2和CoOx-CeO2催化剂, 在126 ℃ NO去除率即可达到90%; 其N2选择性也可在179 ℃时达到90%. 为了进一步探究MOx-CeO2(M = Co, Fe, Cu)催化剂的CO-SCR反应途径,本文随后进行了系列原位DRFTIR实验, 发现NO在三种催化剂表面均能被高效吸附, 其吸附态中间产物主要为双齿硝酸根, 桥式硝酸根, 桥式硝基和亚硝酰基等. 另外, 在CuO-CeO2催化剂表面还存有螯合硝基和单齿硝酸根. CO在催化剂表面主要以COx, 碳酸根和羧酸根等形式存在. 值得注意的是, 在CuO-CeO2表面, CO因吸附于Cu+而形成Cu+-CO, 在2100 cm-1左右形成明显的特征峰. 当催化剂表面吸附CO至饱和后再通入NO发现, CO的吸附特征峰逐渐被NO的特征吸附峰取代; 而当NO被吸附至饱和后再通入CO, NO的特征峰则不出现明显变化. 这表明NO和CO在催化剂表面存在竞争吸附, NO可能优先于CO吸附在催化剂表面. 当NO和CO同时通入红外反应仓时发现, 在CoOx-CeO2和FeOx-CeO2催化剂表面只观察到NO的吸附峰, 而在CuO-CeO2催化剂表面观察到Cu+-CO的特征峰, 说明在CO-SCR反应过程中, CO可以在Cu+表面被有效吸附,其与吸附于CeO2表面的NO物种反应生成N2和CO2, 遵循Langmuir-Hinshelwood反应机理. 而在CoOx-CeO2和FeOx-CeO2催化剂表面, 因NO的竞争吸附, 使得二者主要遵循Eley-Rideal反应机理.     

MnOx/Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45M0.10Oy （M = Mn, Y, La） catalysts used for ethanol catalytic combustion

MnOx/Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45M0.10Oy (M = Mn,Y,La) catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and characterized by BET,TPR and XRD analyses.The catalytic activities toward ethanol combustion were investigated in a microreactor.The results demonstrated that the catalytic activity of MnOx/Al2O3/Ce0.50Zr0.50O2 monolithic catalyst could be improved by doping Mn,Y and La into Ce0.50Zr0.50O2.When doping Y into Ce0.50Zr0.50O2,the catalyst MnOx/Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.10O1.95 showed the highest activity.The 100% conversion temperature of ethanol was 230 ℃.Furthermore,once the conversion of ethanol started,the complete conversion was quickly achieved.The doping of Mn,Y and La led to better activity for ethanol combustion and lower temperature reduction peaks in TPR profiles.The doping of Mn resulted in enhanced oxygen storage capacity (OSC),larger area of the reduction peaks,and excellent reactivity,and the doping of Y resulted in the lowest reduction temperature and the best activity.     

Doping of Ceria-Zirconia Solid Solution with Rare-earth Elements

The increasingly restrictive regulations on car exhaust emissions will necessitate the development of a new generation of three way catalysts (TWC) with better performance1. Ceria (CeO2) is the main component of the current TWC: its key role is to compensate the fluctuations in the exhaust stream composition, therefore, allowing to expand the air/fuel(A/F) operating window of catalytic converters2. This property is related to its oxygen storage capacity (OSC), associated to the redox couple Ce4+/Ce3+. However, CeO2 alone is easy to sinter to lost OSC at high temperature3.Ceria-zirconia (CexZr1-xO2) solid solutions by incorporation of Zr4+ in the CeO2 lattice have enhanced OSC and greater thermal stability, which are becoming the key materials for the new generation of TWC4. OSC of ceria-zirconia solid solutions can be further improved by the addition of M3+ dopants5. Besides Ce, other rare-earth elements such as Pr and Tb can vary their oxidation state. Pr and Tb are particularly suitable for making solid solutions with cerium because the known structure of PrO2 and TbO2 is of the cubic fluorite type, and the ionic radii of Pr4+ and Tb4+ are close to that of Ce4+6.In this paper, Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2 (M=Y, La, Pr, Tb) were prepared by co-precipitation technique and characterized by a series of methods. Meanwhile, palladium-only TWCs were prepared by slurry coating and their catalytic activity was evaluated under the condition of simulated exhaust in the lab.XRD and FT-Raman spectra results show Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2 have cubic fluorite structure which keep unchanging at high temperature. The different dopant ion radii brought different effect on the cell parameter of Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that the binding energy of Ce3d, Zr3d and O1s for Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2 rose compared with that for Ce0.6Zr0.4O2, indicating dopant elements changed chemistry environment of solid solutions which was available to improve redox performance From TPR results, doping La can not change redox performance of solid solution, but doping Y decreased reduction temperature. Doping Pr and Tb notably improved redox performance of solid solutions due to appearance of low-temperature reduction peak in TPR profile which come from mobility of bulk oxygen.Compared with Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2, doping Y and La unchanged A/F characteristic of TWCs, but doping Pr and Tb widen A/ F operating window and make HC, CO and NO have higher conversion.The light-off temperature of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3La0.1O2 was corresponded to that of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2.However, the light-off temperatures of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2 (M=Y, Pr, Tb) were lower than that of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2, which kept much lower after high temperature treatments. Among Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2 (M=Y, La, Pr, Tb), Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3Tb0.1O2 showed wider A/F operating window,higher conversion, lower light-off temperature and better high-temperature resistance     

Preferential Oxidation of CO in Excess Hydrogen over CuO-CeO2 Catalyst Prepared by Chelating Method

The CuO-CeO2 catalyst prepared by chelating method has a superior catalytic performance for the preferential oxidation of CO in rich hydrogen, compared with the CuO-CeO2 catalyst prepared by coprecipitation method. The CO conversions over these catalysts, at 120℃and 120000 ml/(g-h) in the absence of CO2 and H2O, are 99.6% and 88.6%, respectively, and the selectivity of O2 over these catalysts is very close (i.e. 51.3% and 55.8%, respectively). The influence of certain factors such as hydrogen concentration, carbon monoxide concentration, H2O, O2/CO ratios, and space velocity on the catalytic performance of CuO-CeO2 catalyst prepared by chelating method is also studied. The results show that the addition of hydrogen and H2O has a negative effect on the catalytic performance of CuO-CeO2 catalyst, however, the variation of space velocity and the O2/CO ratio causes a comparatively slight influence.     

助剂M(M=Cr、 Zn、Y、La)对甲醇水蒸气重整制氢CuO/CeO_2催化剂的影响

采用顺序浸渍法制备了掺杂助剂M(M=Cr、Zn、Y、La)的CuO/CeO_2催化剂,并利用XRF、XRD、BET、H_2-TPR和XPS等手段对催化剂进行了表征,考察了不同助剂对CuO/CeO_2催化剂结构、性质和性能的影响。结果表明,助剂的掺杂主要影响CuO/CeO_2催化剂的CuO分散、催化剂的还原性质、CuO与CeO_2间的相互作用和催化剂表面氧空穴含量。掺杂助剂Cr和Zn后,提高了CuO在催化剂表面的分散度,使CuO和CeO_2间的相互作用加强,表面氧空穴增加,进而使得催化活性提高。而掺杂助剂Y和La后,降低了CuO在催化剂表面的分散度,使CuO和CeO_2间的相互作用减弱,表面氧空穴减少,进而使得催化活性降低。其中,掺杂Cr助剂的催化剂催化性能较优,当反应条件为260℃,n(CH_3OH)∶n(H_2O)=1∶1.2,甲醇水蒸气气体空速为1760 h~(-1)时,最终转化率可达100%,重整尾气中CO含量为0.15%,与CuO/CeO_2催化剂相比,转化率提高了10%,重整尾气中CO含量降低了0.34%。     

CeO2-Y2O3涂层和负载型Pd催化剂催化燃烧VOCs

制备了一种粘附在堇青石蜂窝陶瓷载体上的CeO_2-Y_2O_3(CeY)复合氧化物新涂层.以二氧化铈和柠檬酸钇为前驱体,制备过程中无有害物质产生,对环境友好.CeY涂层和Pd/CeY催化剂通过SEM、EDX、XRF和Raman光谱等表征.结果表明,此涂层的粘结强度高,对活性组分的吸附性能好,适合用来负载钯催化剂.Y_2O_3大部分进入了峰窝陶瓷的孔道内,CeO_2和Pd物种则富集在载体的表面.以CO、甲苯和乙酸乙酯的催化燃烧来评价Pd/CeY催化剂的性能,此催化剂具有较好的催化活性和热稳定性.500℃焙烧的催化剂,CO、甲苯和乙酸乙酯的T_(99)(转化率99%以上所需的最低反应温度)分别为150、220和310℃;1050℃焙烧的催化剂,它们的T_(99)分别为180、250和330℃.高温焙烧的催化剂,活性物种PdO的晶粒增大,这可能导致催化剂的活性下降.     

草酸盐热分解法制备CeO_2负载CuO催化剂用于CO优先氧化反应

采用草酸盐热分解-浸渍法制备了一系列不同CuO负载量的CuO/CeO_2催化剂,并将其用于CO优先氧化(PROX)研究.当CuO负载量为10%时催化剂活性最高,具有温区最宽且温度最低的CO完全转化窗口(96~160℃),并且当反应温度低于131℃时,产物中CO2选择性始终保持100%.研究结果表明,当负载少量CuO时,Cu~(2+)离子会进入CeO_2晶格形成固溶体;进一步提高CuO负载量会导致CuO在CeO_2表面聚集.对于CuO/CeO_2催化剂,形成Cu-Ce固溶体会在催化剂表面生成大量的表面氧空位和Ce3+;Ce3+则与Cu~(2+)作用产生更多的表面Cu~+,而Cu~+是CO PROX的活性中心,因此表面Ce3+含量的提高和Cu-Ce之间相互作用的增强是活性提高的主要原因.与普通沉淀-浸渍法制备的CuO/CeO_2催化剂相比,草酸盐热分解-浸渍法制备的催化剂更有利于Cu-Ce固溶体的形成,从而具有更多的表面Ce3+和更强的表面Cu-Ce相互作用,因此具有更高的CO优先氧化活性.

Influence of Schiff base and lanthanide metals on the synthesis, stability, and reactivity of monoamido lanthanide complexes bearing two Schiff bases

The monoamido lanthanide complexes stabilized by Schiff base ligand L(2)LnN(TMS)(2) (L = 3,5-Bu(t)(2)-2-(O)-C(6)H(2)CH═N-8-C(9)H(6)N, Ln = Yb (1), Y (2), Eu (3), Nd (4), and La (5)) were synthesized in good yields by the reactions of Ln[N(TMS)(2)](3) with 1.8 equiv of HL in hexane at room temperature. It was found that the stability of 1-5 depends greatly on the size of the lanthanide metals with the increasing trend of Yb ≈ Y < Nd < La. The amine elimination of Ln[N(TMS)(2)](3) with the bulky bidentate Schiff base HL' (L' = 3,5-Bu(t)(2)-2-(O)-C(6)H(2)CH═N-2,6-Pr(i)(2)-C(6)H(3)) afforded the monoamido lanthanide complexes L'(2)LnN(TMS)(2) (Ln = Yb (9), Y (10), Nd (11), and La (12)). While the amine elimination with the less bulky Schiff base HL' (L' = 3,5-Bu(t)(2)-2-(O)-C(6)H(2)CH═N-2,6-Me(2)-C(6)H(3)) yielded the desired monoamido complexes with the small metals of Y and Yb, L'(2)LnN(TMS)(2) (Ln = Yb (13) and Y (14)), and the more stable tris-Schiff base complexes with the large metals of La and Nd, yielded L'(3)Ln as the only product. Complexes 1-14 were fully characterized including X-ray crystal structural analysis. Complexes 1-5, 10, and 14 can serve as the efficient catalysts for addition of amines to carbodiimides, and the catalytic activity is greatly affected by the lanthanide metals with the active sequence of Yb < Y < Eu ≈ Nd ≈ La.

Low-temperature CO oxidation over CuO-CeO_2/SiO_2 catalysts:Effect of CeO_2 content and carrier porosity

The effects of CeO2 contents and silica carrier porosity with their pore diameters ranging from 5.2 nm to 12.5 nm of CuO-CeO2/SiO2 cata-lysts 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 carrier 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.

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).
