Surface characterization of WO(3)/ZrO(2) catalysts

A series of WO(3)/ZrO(2) catalysts with tungsten (W) loadings ranging from 0.5 to 11.4 wt% was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation on a preformed ZrO(2) support. The oxidic catalysts were characterized using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, ISS, and IR spectroscopy. XRD and Raman results showed that the ZrO(2) support was predominantly present in the monoclinic form. XPS and Raman measurements indicated the formation of increasing amounts of W interaction species for catalysts with W loadings up to 8.8 wt% WO(3). In addition to the W interaction species, bulk WO(3) was also observed for catalysts with W loadings > or = 3.0 wt% WO(3). Comparison of the XPS results with coverage measurements by ISS and CO adsorption suggests that the W surface phase is in the form of two-dimensional polymeric patches for catalysts with W loadings 3.0 < or = wt% WO(3) < or = 4.5. For catalysts with W loadings >4.5 wt% WO(3), the results indicated an additional build-up of a bilayer (or multilayer) polymeric W species. Analysis of the hydroxyl region of ZrO(2) by IR spectroscopy showed that initial additions of W occur on the high frequency hydroxyl group. A schematic for the structure of the catalysts has been proposed based on the above observations.     

A comparative study of the surface structure, acidity, and catalytic performance of tungstated zirconia prepared from crystalline zirconia or amorphous zirconium oxyhydroxide

Tungstated zirconias prepared from W deposition on zirconium oxyhydroxide are reportedly active for alkane isomerization, whereas solids synthesized by impregnation of zirconia are inactive. The origin of the differences between the two preparations is not fully understood. The present paper examines the influence of W surface density and the nature of the support on the surface structure, development of the acidity, and catalytic performance of WO(x)()/ ZrO(2) catalysts. Two series of catalysts containing W surface densities up to 5.2 at. W/nm(2) were prepared by pore volume impregnation of two different supports: zirconium oxyhydroxide and predominantly tetragonal zirconia (65% tetragonal, 35% monoclinic). The texture and structure of the catalysts were investigated by BET measurements, X-ray diffraction, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The catalytic activity was tested for 2-propanol dehydration and n-hexane isomerization. For catalysts obtained by impregnation of Zr oxyhydroxide, Raman results showed that W was present as a surface phase. Infrared spectra indicated an increase in the degree of polymerization of W species with increasing W surface density. The development of the acidity was monitored by lutidine adsorption and desorption at 523 K, followed by infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated the presence of a threshold of W surface density at 1.3 at. W/ nm(2) for the detection of these acid sites, followed by a progressive increase in their abundance with increasing W surface density. The development of Br?nsted acidity correlated with the evolution of the infrared bands attributed to "extensively" polymerized W species. A direct relationship was observed between the abundance of Br?nsted acid sites and the catalytic activity for 2-propanol dehydration. For n-hexane isomerization, compared to 2-propanol dehydration, a higher threshold of W surface densities (3.4 at. W/ nm(2)) for the development of activity was observed. The difference was attributed to stronger Br?nsted acid sites required for n-hexane isomerization. The catalysts prepared by impregnation of zirconia exhibited comparable behavior. For a given W surface density, the crystalline composition of the support (tetragonal/monoclinic zirconia), the W surface structure, abundance of Br?nsted acid sites, and catalytic performance were similar. Thus, in an apparent variance with some of the results reported in the literature with respect to the influence of preparation methods, no significant effect of the initial form of the support (Zr oxyhydroxide versus predominantly tetragonal zirconia) was evidenced.     

Pd/WO3-ZrO2催化剂的结构对乙烯直接氧化制乙酸的影响

利用浸渍法制备了一系列具有不同W/Zr比和不同WO3-ZrO2焙烧温度的1%pd/WO3-ZrO2催化剂.通过X射线衍射、N2吸附、氨程序升温吸附、吡啶吸附红外光谱和程序升温还原方法表征了催化剂的晶体结构、表面状态以及酸性.结果表明,制备条件对W和Pd的表面状态具有很人的影响.随着W/Zr比的增加和焙烧温度的提高,催化剂表而的WOx经历了从聚钨酸物种到聚钨酸/WO3晶体共存再到WO3品体颗粒的转化.W/Zr比为0.2且焙烧湍度为1073K的催化剂具有最多的聚钨酸物种,而该催化剂具有最好的活性.因此,聚钨酸物种的最决定了催化剂的活性.Pd的分散状态只依赖于WO3-ZrO2的焙烧温度.Pd物种分散性好,则乙酸选择性高,而分散性差的人颗粒Pd会导致乙烯的燃烧反应.     

Influence of synthesis methods on tungsten dispersion, structural deformation, and surface acidity in binary WO3-ZrO2 system

WO3-ZrO2 catalysts were synthesized by precipitating the aqueous solutions of zirconium oxynitrate and ammonium metatungstate with ammonium hydroxide. The white slurry precipitate was treated under three different conditions. In the as-made materials, the amorphous phase was formed in the aged and refluxed samples, while well-crystallized tetragonal and monoclinic phases were obtained in the hydrothermally treated sample. The real amount of tungsten loaded in the samples was similar for the three samples, independently of the treatments; however, the tungsten surface atomic density in the annealed WO3-ZrO2 samples varied between 6 and 9 W atoms/nm2. Two different contrast types of aggregates were determined by scanning electron microscopy, the white particles which are rich in W, and the gray ones which are rich in zirconium; both of them were formed in the calcined solids prepared under aging or reflux condition. A very high dispersion of tungsten species on the zirconia surface was achieved in the hydrothermally treated sample. The degree of the interaction between WO(x) and ZrO2 surface strongly modified the Zr-O bond lengths and bond angles in the structure of tetragonal zirconia as proved by X-ray diffraction analysis and the Rietveld refinement. The catalyst obtained under hydrothermal condition exhibited the highest dispersion of tungsten species in the zirconia, which in turn causes strong structural deformation of the tetragonal ZrO2 phase responsible of the strongest surface acidity and, consequently, the optimum catalytic activity for n-hexane isomerization.     

Mu-eta1:eta1-peroxo-bridged dinuclear peroxotungstate catalytically active for epoxidation of olefins

The reaction of the dinuclear peroxotungstate, [(n-C4H9)4N]2[{WO(O2)2}2(mu-O)] (II), with H2O2 gives the novel mu-eta1:eta1-peroxo-bridging dinuclear tungsten species, [(n-C4H9)4N]2[{WO(O2)2}2(mu-O2)] (I), which has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, elemental analysis, IR, Raman, UV-vis, and 183W NMR. Only I is active for the epoxidation of cyclic, internal, and terminal olefins, whereas II is inactive for each. The low XSO (XSO=(nucleophilic oxidation)/(total oxidation)) value of I (0.18+/-0.02) in comparison with that of II (0.39+/-0.01) for the stoichiometric oxidation of thianthrene 5-oxide, which is a mechanistic probe for determining the electronic character of an oxidant, reveals that I is more electrophilic than II. On the basis of the kinetic and spectroscopic results, the catalytic epoxidation proceeds by the reaction of I with an olefin to form II and the corresponding epoxide followed by the regeneration of I by the reaction of II with H2O2.

Relations between structure, acidity, and activity of WOx/TiO2: influence of the initial state of the support, titanium oxyhydroxide, or titanium oxide

Two series of WO(x)/TiO(2) catalysts, containing W surface densities up to 4.4 W atoms/nm(2), were prepared by pore volume impregnation of two different supports, titanium oxyhydroxide (amorphous) or titanium oxide (crystallized, 100% anatase). The influence of W surface density and the nature of the support on the surface structure, development of the acidity, and catalytic performances were examined. The texture and structure of the catalysts were investigated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The catalytic activity was tested for 2-propanol dehydration and n-hexane isomerization. For catalysts obtained by impregnation of titanium oxide, XRD and Raman results showed that W was present as a surface phase. Infrared spectra indicated an increase in the degree of polymerization of W species with increasing W surface density. CO and lutidine adsorption, followed by infrared spectroscopy, showed an increase in the strength and abundance of Br?nsted acid sites (measured after lutidine desorption at 573 K) with the W surface density above a threshold of 1.3 W atoms/nm(2). The development of Br?nsted acidity correlated with the evolution of the infrared bands attributed to polymerized W species. A direct relationship was observed between the concentration of Br?nsted acid sites and the catalytic activity for 2-propanol dehydration. Catalytic activity, for n-hexane isomerization, appears to be associated with the presence of highly condensed W species. The catalysts synthesized by impregnation of titanium oxyhydroxide exhibited a comparable behavior. Hence, for a given W surface density, the W surface structure, concentration of Br?nsted acid sites, and catalytic performances were similar. Thus, no significant effect of the initial form of the support (titanium oxyhydroxide versus titanium oxide; 100% anatase) was evidenced.     

Effect of CO_2 on the structural variation of Na_2WO_4/Mn/SiO_2 catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene

In this work,the influence of CO2 on the structural variation and catalytic performance of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation method and characterized by XRD,Raman and XPS techniques. Appropriate amount of CO2 in the reactant gases enhanced the formation of surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and promoted the migration of O in MOx,Na,W from the catalyst bulk to surface,which were favorable for oxidative coupling of methane. When the molar ratio of CH4/O2/CO2 was 3/1/2,enriched surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and high surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W were detected,and then high CH4 conversion of 33.1% and high C2H4 selectivity of 56.2% were obtained. With further increase of CO2 in the reagent gases,the content of active surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W decreased,while that of inactive species(Mn WO4 and Mn2O3) increased dramatically,leading to low CH4 conversion and low C2H4 selectivity. It could be speculated that Na2WO4 crystal was transformed into Mn WO4 crystal with excessive CO2 added under the reaction conditions. Pretreatment of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 catalyst by moderate amount of CO2 before OCM also promoted the formation of Na2WO4 species.     

Effect of dispersion and distribution of tungsten on W/HZSM-5 for selective catalytic reduction of NO by acetylene

Catalytic performance of W/HZSM-5 in selective catalytic reduction of NO by acetylene was investigated in a reaction system with 1600 ppm of NO, 800 ppm of C2H2, and 9.95% of O2 in He. It was found that promotional effect of tungsten on the reaction is strongly affected by catalyst preparation conditions and Si/Al ratio of the parent zeolite. A better dispersion of tungsten on HZSM-5 and relatively more monomeric tungsten species were found on 8%W/HZSM-5 prepared by impregnation of the zeolite with lower SiO2/A1203 ratio （25） in ammonic ammonium tungstate solution and calcination of the resulting material at higher temperature （550 ℃）. The highest NO conversion to N2 of 86.3% in the reaction system was obtained at 350 ℃ over the catalyst thus prepared. The mechanism of monomeric tungsten species improving the C2H2-SCR can be attributed to accelerating the formation of active nitrate species.     

Oxygen-17 NMR study of aqueous peroxotungstates

Aqueous peroxotungstates have been studied from pH 0.5 to 9.0, over a range of peroxide concentrations. Although equilibria are not always established, many anions can be identified by 17O NMR because the ratio of deltaO(W anion)/deltaO(known Mo anion) is consistently 79 +/- 3%. They are [WO3(HO2)]-; [WO(OH)(O2)2]-; [WO(OH2)(O2)2]0; [W2O3(O2)4]2-; [W2O3(OH)(O2)4]3-; [W4O12(O2)2]4-; [W7O23(O2)]6- and [W7O22(O2)2]6-. Their pKa values, where measurable, are about 2 units lower than the corresponding peroxomolybdates, e.g. 0.0 for [WO(OH2)(O2)2]0 and 8.0 for [W2O3(O2)4]2-. Other peroxotungstate species are also present but can only be broadly identified. These include Keggin structures with relatively low peroxo content, and a very unsymmetrical anion appearing at pH ca. 7 that bears no obvious structural relationship to any species previously reported. The main product from the reaction of powdered W metal with 30% aqueous peroxide is provisionally identified as the symmetrical anion [W6O13(OH)2(OH2)2(O2)5]2-, although other minor species are also formed, probably having fewer peroxo substituents.     

In situ UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance and Raman spectroscopy and catalytic activity studies of propane oxidative dehydrogenation over supported CrO3/ZrO2 catalysts

The molecular structures, oxidation states, and reactivity of 3 and 6% CrO3/ZrO2 catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation were examined under different conditions. The in situ Raman spectroscopic studies under dehydrated conditions reveal that the 3 and 6% CrO3/ZrO2 catalysts possess equal amounts of monochromate and polychromate species. Consequently, monolayer coverage on this ZrO2 support is about 3% CrO3. The 6% CrO3/ZrO2 possesses an additional Raman band due to Cr2O3 crystals corresponding to the remaining 3% CrO3. Furthermore, during reaction conditions the polychromate species is preferentially reduced, the monochromate species are slightly affected, and the Cr2O3 crystals are not affected. The in situ UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy results reveal that under steady-state reaction conditions the extent of reduction and edge energy position of surface Cr6+ cations increase with an increase in reduction environment for the 3 and 6% CrO3/ZrO2 samples. Propane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) studies reveal that the catalytic activity expressed in moles of propane converted per gram catalyst per second is similar for the two catalysts, which is consistent with equal amounts of molecularly dispersed chromia present. The turnover frequency for the 6% CrO3/ZrO2 catalyst is, however, smaller than that for the 3% CrO3/ZrO2 sample due to the presence of Cr2O3 crystals, which are relatively inactive for propane ODH. For this catalytic system and for the experimental conditions used, propene, CO, and CO2 are primary products. Furthermore, the 33-39% propene selectivity is not affected by the C3H8/O2 ratio for both catalysts. Structure-reactivity studies suggest that the molecularly dispersed species are present in equal amounts in the 3 and 6% CrO3/ZrO2 samples as Cr6+ monochromate and polychromate species are the most effective catalytic active sites taking part in the propane ODH reaction.     

Dispersion and reduction of copper oxide supported on WO3-modified Ce(0.5)Zr(0.5)O2 solid solution

XRD (X-ray diffraction), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), LRS (laser Raman spectra), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) are used to investigate the surface properties of CuO/WO3/Ce(0.5)Zr(0.5)O2 samples. The results indicate that (1) tungsten oxide can be highly dispersed on Ce(0.5)Zr(0.5)O2 (denoted as CZ hereafter) solid solution, with a dispersion capacity of about 0.8 mmol WO(3)/(100 m2 CZ), and comparatively, the supported tungsten oxide species are preferentially interacted with ceria component on the surface of CZ; (2) for CuO/WO3/CZ samples with a half-monolayer WO3 loading, i.e., xCu-0.4W-CZ series, the surface of CZ is only partially covered by the preloaded WO3) and the supported copper oxide species are dispersed on the remaining surface vacant sites on CZ as well as on top of the preloaded tungsten oxide, while for the samples preloaded with a full-monolayer WO3, i.e., xCu-0.8W-CZ series, only dispersed on the top of the preloaded tungsten oxide monolayer; (3) the effect of the loading amount of WO3 on the reduction property of Cu2+ ions in a series of CuO/WO3/CZ samples has been observed and tentatively attributed to the formation of WO3 monolayer on CZ and the different coordination environments of the dispersed Cu2+ ions are discussed on the basis of the consideration of the incorporation model proposed previously (Chen, Y.; Zhang, L. Catal. Lett. 1992, 12, 51).     

WO3改性方法对MnOx/TiO2催化剂低温催化NH3还原NO特性的影响（英文）

采用3种不同的浸渍过程制备了系列WO3改性MnOx/TiO2催化剂,并采用BET比表面积测试、X射线衍射、拉曼光谱、H2程序升温还原、高分辨扫描电镜和原位红外光谱等技术进行表征.结果显示,一步浸渍法和先钨后锰的分布浸渍法制备的催化剂中,Mn和W的协同作用提高了活性组分的分散状态,并阻止了钛载体的转晶;在所有的Mn基催化剂中,Mn物种主要以Mn2O3形式存在,但在15%MnOx-5%WO3/TiO2中出现了少量的MnO2;WO3的加入大大增强了催化剂的还原能力,提高了其表面酸位尤其是B酸的数量与强度,并促进了活性中间物(NH2)的生成.表面Lewis酸在低温SCR反应起主要作用,并且发现NH2也是活性很高的物种.在NH3低温催化还原NO的反应中,一步浸渍法制备的催化剂活性最高.     

负载钨催化剂的载体效应及其表面酸性

运用BET、XRD、FT-Raman以及微量吸附量热等手段对由浸渍三种晶型氧化锆及其前体氢氧化锆制备的负载钨催化剂的结构及其表面酸性进行了研究。结果表明起始原料和制备条件对氧化锆的结构有显著影响。浸渍在氢氧化锆上的钨物种会使氢氧化锆转变为四方晶型氧化锆。但浸渍于氧化锆上的钨物种使氧化锆发生晶型转变相对较难。负载钨催化剂表面强酸位的形成与载体晶型、表面钨物种WO_x以及WO_x与载体氧化锆之间的相互作用有关。催化剂上的强酸位可因残留的Na⁺离子所毒化或阻抑。少量Y³⁺离子对表面酸性则无明显影响。

Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Properties of S2O2-8/ZrO2 Supported by Tungsten Carbide

A WC-supported S2O2-8/ZrO2(PSZ) catalyst was prepared and characterized by means of XRD, BET, FTIR and XPS. The isomerization of n-pentane over the catalyst was investigated as well. The results show that the skeletal isomerization and the crack of n-pentane proceed simultaneously on WC-supported S2O2-8/ZrO2 catalyst. The addition of tungsten carbide showed a significant enhancement in the activity and stability of the catalyst for n-pentane isomerization. The catalyst showed evidently a better activity than S2O2-8/ZrO2 supported by Pt and WO3. The results can be interpreted by the existence of the tungsten oxycarbide compound(WCxOy) with carbidic, oxide and acidic sites.

Catalytic Combustion of Methane over MnOx／ZrO2-Al2O3 Catalysts

MnOx/Al2O3 and MnOx/ZrO2-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of Mn(CH3COO)2 on the corresponding supports, followed by the characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD). temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and BET surface area techniques. The result shows the BET surface area of ZrO2-Al2O3 is lower than that of Al2O3 due to the loading of ZrO2.However tile resulted MnOx/ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst exhibits higher activity for methane combustion than MnOx/Al2O3, because the addition of ZrO2 onto Al2O3 is beneficial for the dispersion of Mn species and the improvement of the lattice oxygen activity in MnOx. subsequently the activation of methane during combustion. The optimum loading of Zr in MnOx/ZrO2-Al2O3 is in the range of 5%-10% correlated with the calcination temperatures of catalyst supports.
