肼分解催化剂表征及失活机理研究

Ir/ γ Al 2O 3 catalyst for hydrazine decomposition has been investigated by using XPS, SEM, H 2 TPD and H 2 isothermal adsorption. The results show that the iridium species enrich on the surface of the catalyst in more than one state, and that the metallic iridium is the active sites for the reaction. The iridium species were sintered seriously during the reaction, and the amount of H 2 adsorption on used sample was only a quarter of that on fresh sample. The concentration of Cl - species on the surface decreased quickly at the initial period of the reaction process and stayed at a certain low value. Obvious breakup of the surface structure of the used sample was found. In all, the sintering of metallic iridium and the damage of alumina surface structure are the reasons for deactivation of the catalyst, while the Cl - concentration has little effect on the reaction performance.
