Influence of cobalt on performance of Cu-CeO_2 catalysts for preferential oxidation of CO

Copper and cobalt oxides supported on CeO_2 were investigated for preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide(CO-PROX) in the presence of excess hydrogen and CO_2.(Cuo)_(1-x)(Co_3 O_4)_(x/3)-(CeO_2)_(2.5)(x=0,0.25,0.50,0.75,0.85 and 1) catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method.These mixed oxide catalysts were characterized by several physicochemical techniques,such as BET surface area(S_(BET)),X-ray diffraction(XRD),high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),temperature programmed reduction(TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).XRD studies show the peaks related to CuO and Co_3 O_4 phases in copper and cobalt containing CeO_2 catalysts.The average particle size of the CeO_2 crystallites is in the range of 8-10 nm as evaluated from HRTEM studies.XPS studies demonstrate that Cu,Co and Ce in(cuO)_(1-x)(Co_3O_4)_(x/3)-(CeO_2)_(2.5) catalysts are presented in+2 and +1,+3 and +2 and +4 and +3 oxidation states,respectively.The catalyst with x=0.75 shows better activity and selectivity towards CO-PROX.Though the catalyst with only copper(CuO-CeO_2,x=0) shows good activity but reverse water gas shift(RWGS) reaction is noticed at high temperature.On the other hand,RWGS reaction is suppressed on the cobalt containing CuO-ceO_2 catalyst.Cobalt on CeO_2 with x=1 shows hardly any activity for PRoX reaction at low temperatures.No methanation activity is observed on CuO-CeO_2 or Co_3O_4-CeO_2 catalysts.In contrast,combination of copper and cobalt on CeO_2 shows methanation of CO where enhanced activity is observed with increasing in cobalt content.     

CuO／CeO2 Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide in Excess Hydrogen

CuO/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by a coprecipitation method and tested for CO removal from reformed fuels via selective oxidation. The influence of the calcination temperature on the chemical compositions and catalytic performance of CuO/CeO2 catalysts were studied. It was found that CuO/CeO2 catalysts exhibit excellent CO oxidation activity and selectivity, and the complete removal of CO is attained when the catalysts are calcined at appropriate temperatures. XRD, TPR and XPS results indicate that CuO/CeO2 catalysts exhibit higher catalytic performance in CO selective oxidation due to the strong interaction between copper oxide and cerium dioxide, which promotes the dispersion and hydrogen reduction activity of copper.     

Effect of CuO species and oxygen vacancies over CuO/CeO2 catalysts on low-temperature oxidation of ethyl acetate

The catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate(EA) was studied over CuO/CeO₂ catalysts which were prepared by ball milling with different precursors(copper oxide,cerium acetate,cerium dioxide,copper acetate and cerium hydroxide).The CuO/CeO₂ catalyst(O-A) prepared with copper oxide and cerium acetate as precursors shows very high catalytic activity that 100% EA conversion is achieved at low temperature of 220℃.It is found that specific surface area(112.8 m²/g),particle...     

Modification of Cu/ZSM-5 catalyst with CeO_2 for selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with ammonia

Cu/ZSM-5 and CeO_2-modified Cu/ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by a wetness impregnation method. The addition of CeO_2 was found to enhance the NO_x selective catalytic reduction(SCR) activity of the catalyst at low temperatures, but the high-temperature activity was weakened. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), nitrogen physisorption, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry(ICP-OES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR), H_2 temperature-programmed reduction(TPR) and NH_3 temperature-programmed desorption(TPD). The results showed that more CuO clusters instead of isolated Cu~(2+) species were obtained on the modified catalyst. These active CuO clusters, as well as the Cu-Ce synergistic effect, improved the redox property of the catalyst and low-temperatures SCR activity via promoting the oxidation of NO to NO_2 and fast SCR reaction. The loss in high-temperatures activity was attributed to the enhanced competitive oxidation of NH_3 by O_2 and decreased surface acidity of the catalyst.     

Zirconia-Supported Copper Oxide—A Catalyst for Removal of Vehicular Exhaust Gas Pollutants

Copper oxide and zirconia-supported copper oxide catalysts were tested for their catalytic activity for carbon monoxide and propylene oxidation reactions. The synthesized catalyst was supported by wet impregnation on zirconia. The higher activity of zirconia-supported catalyst compared to unsupported catalyst may be attributed to homogeneous and higher dispersion on zirconia, ionic oxygen carrying capacity of zirconia. Catalyst 10%?CuO/ZrO2 showed a best conversion efficiency of 90% at a temperature as low as 265°C for CO oxidation. T50 and T100 for propylene oxidation on zirconia-supported copper oxide were 392 and 450°C, respectively.     

Au-Pd/ZnO-CeO_2催化剂甲醇部分氧化制氢性能的研究

采用聚合物保护乙醇还原法制备了Au-Pd/ZnO-CeO_2催化剂,考察了CeO_2对Au-Pd/ZnO催化剂甲醇部分氧化制氢反应性能的影响,并运用BET、XRD、TPR、H_2-TPD和CH_3OH-TPD等手段对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,CeO_2对Au-Pd/ZnO催化剂具有较好的改性效果,CeO_2的引入能提高Au-Pd/ZnO催化剂的活性和氢气的选择性,归结于CeO_2的加入增加了催化剂的比表面积、分散度和对反应物甲醇的吸附,同时减少了对生成物H_2脱附,这些均有利于甲醇部分氧化制氢反应.     

Influence of CeO_2 loading on structure and catalytic activity for NH_3-SCR over TiO_2-supported CeO_2

A series of supported CeO_2/TiO_2 catalysts were prepared to explore the influence of CeO_2 loading on these catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NO_3 by NH_3(NH_3-SCR).The catalysts were investigated in detail by means of XRD,Raman,H_2-TPR,NH_3-TPD,XPS,in situ DRIFTS,and NH3-SCR reaction.The activity of the catalyst is closely related to the content of CeO_2.When the loading of CeO_2 is near the dispersion capacity(1.16 mmol Ce~(4+)/100 m~2 TiO_2),the catalytic activity is better.This may be because that the dispersed CeO_2 is the active species and the catalyst has appropriate redox property,along with the larger amounts of surface Ce content and surface adsorbed oxygen species.Finally,a possible reaction mechanism via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H) mechanism is tentatively proposed to further understand the NH_3-SCR reaction.     

Catalytic Wet Oxidation of Ammonia Solution: Activity of the Copper–Lanthanum–Cerium Composite Catalyst

Aqueous solutions that contained 400–1,000 mg/L of ammonia were oxidized in a trickle-bed reactor in this study of copper–lanthanum–cerium composite catalysts, which were prepared by the co-precipitation of copper nitrate, lanthanum nitrate and cerium nitrate at various molar concentrations. Results revealed that the conversion of ammonia by wet oxidation in the presence of copper–lanthanum–cerium composite catalysts was a function of the molar ratio of the copper–lanthanum–cerium catalyst. The ammonia solutions were barely removed by wet oxidation in the absence of any catalyst, while around 95% of the ammonia was reduced during the wet oxidation over the copper–lanthanum–cerium (7:2:1, molar/molar/molar) catalyst at 503 K and an oxygen partial pressure of 4.0 MPa. The kinetics of ammonia oxidation over a catalyst could be explained by a zero-order rate expression. Furthermore, the effect of the initial concentration and reaction temperature on the removal of ammonia from the effluent streams was also investigated at a liquid hourly space velocity of under 9?h?1 in wet catalytic processes.     

High activity of CeO_2-TiO_2 composites for deep oxidation of 1,2-dichloroethane

CeO_2-TiO_2 catalysts prepared by different methods were investigated for deep oxidation of 1,2-dichloroethane(DCE),as a typical representative of the chlorinated volatile organic compounds(CVOCs).Characterization analysis reveals that CeO_2-TiO_2 catalysts prepared by sol-gel and coprecipitation methods exhibit higher specific area,CeO_2 and TiO_2 particles are highly dispersed into each other and the reducibility and mobility of active oxygen species are obviously promoted due to the strong interaction between the two catalysts CeO_2 and TiO_2,resulting in higher catalytic activity for DCE oxidation to and less chlorinated byproduct.The high calcination temperature would lead to the formation of a new monoclinic phase Ce_(0.3)Ti_(0.7)O_2 and sintering,which is the main reason for the catalytic activity for DCE oxidation markedly decreases.     

Effect of Ce doping into V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2 catalysts on the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x by NH_3

In this work, the effectiveness of V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2 catalysts modified with different CeO_2 contents by impregnation and co-precipitation methods on the selective catalytic reduction of NOxby NH3 have been studied comparatively by various experimental techniques. The results showed that the NO conversion of V_2O_5-WO_3/CeO_2-TiO_2 catalysts modified by co-precipitation method obviously increased with the Ce doping contents in the studied range below 20%(All Ce contents are in mass fractions), but the NO conversion of V_2O_5-WO_3/CeO_2/TiO_2 catalysts modified by impregnation methods was lower than V_2O_5-WO_3/CeO_2-TiO_2 catalysts especially beyond 2.5% Ce doping contents. The V_2O_5-WO_3/CeO_2-TiO_2 catalysts showed better SCR activity, wider reaction window, and higher sulfur and water resistance. The characterization results elucidated that the modified catalysts by co-precipitation method exhibited higher specific surface area, much better dispersity of Ce component, more Ce~(3+)species and more Br?nsted acid sites than that by impregnation. The vacancies caused by more Ce~(3+)species were favorable for more NO oxidation to NO_2, and the interaction between Ce species and WOxspecies generated more Br?nsted acid sites. It could be supposed that dispersed Ce Oxspecies and WOxspecies offered more second active centers respectively to adsorb oxygen and activate ammonia as co-catalysis to the primary active center of V ions, thus facilitated the better SCR activity of modified V_2O_5-WO_3/CeO_2-TiO_2 catalysts by coprecipitation methods. The co-precipitation methods with Ce component were more suitable for production of modified commercial V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2 catalysts.

Preparation, Characterization of CuO／CeO2 and Cu／CeO2 Catalysts and Their Applications in Low-Temperature CO Oxidation

CeO2 was synthesized via sol-gel process and used as supporter to prepare CuO/CeO2, Cu/CeO2 catalysts by impregnation method. The catalytic properties and characterization of CeO2, CuO/CeO2 and Cu/CeO2 catalysts were examined by means of a microreactor-GC system, HRTEM, XRD, TPR and XPS techniques. The results show that CuO has not catalytic activity and the activity of CeO2 is quite low for CO oxidation. However, the catalytic activity of CuO/CeO2 and Cu/CeO2 catalysts increases significantly. Furthermore, the activity of CuO/CeO2 is higher than that of Cu/CeO2 catalysts.     

CeO2with diverse morphologies-supported IrOx nanocatalysts for efficient oxygen evolution reaction—Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Academician Guangxian Xu

IrOx-based catalysts are considered the most promising candidates for oxygen evolution reaction(OER)due to their high efficiency.However,improving their intrinsic catalytic activity is essential for practical application.In this work,CeO₂with three different morphologies(rod,cube,octahedron)and supported IrOx nanoparticles were fabricated,and they display morphology-dependent OER activity.The IrOx/CeO₂-rod shows the highest activity;the catalysts have a catalytic activity sequence of rod>cube>octahedron.A plausible mechanism was proposed:the CeO₂support with different morphologies modulates the electronic structure of IrOx by the synergistic interaction promoted by oxygen vacancies between the active component and the support,thereby altering the catalytic activity of the IrOx/CeO₂catalyst.     

Effect of praseodymium additive on CeO_2(ZrO_2)/TiO_2 for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

A series of praseodymium added CeO_2(ZrO_2)/TiO_2 catalysts separately prepared by methods of sol-gel and impregnation were tested for selective catalytic reduction of NO, and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), N_2-brumauer-emmett-teller(N_2-BET), NH_3-temperature programmed desorption(NH_3-TPD), H_2-temperature programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), PL spectra, Raman spectra, electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), respectively. Influence of preparation method on catalytic performance was studied. Results showed that the influence of Pr addition on catalytic performance of the CeO_2(ZrO_2)/TiO_2 catalysts was different between the sol-gel method and the impregnation method. The Pr addition tended to interact with TiO_2 and formed the structure of Ti-O-Pr in the sol-gel method while it was more likely to interact with CeO_2 forming the structure of Ce-O-Pr in the impregnation method. The total acid amount and redox properties of the catalysts prepared by sol-gel method decreased with the addition of Pr element, which resulted in decrease of catalytic activity. In contrast, the Pr-added catalyst prepared by impregnation method was found to possess easier reducibility, more total acid amount and higher proportion of Ce~(3+) species, which was favourable for higher catalytic activity.     

Catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde over CeO_2-Co_3O_4 catalysts

A series of CeO_2-Co_3O_4 mixed oxide catalysts with different Co/(Co+Ce) atomic ratios were synthesized by citric acid sol-gel method and used for catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde(HCHO). Many techniques such as Brumauer-Emmett-Teller(BET), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), temperature programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), temperature-programmed desorption(O_2-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were used to characterize catalysts. The results of catalytic performance tests showed that the catalyst CeO_2-Co_3O_4 with Co/(Co+Ce) ratio of 0.95 exhibited the best performance, and the temperature of complete oxidation of HCHO was 80 oC. The analytical results indicated that the addition of CeO_2 enhanced the specific surface area of Co_3O_4 and the fine dispersion of both of them. Moreover, the strong interaction between CeO_2 and Co_3O_4 resulted in the unique redox properties, which enhanced the available surface active oxygen and led to high valence state of cobalt oxide species. All those effects played crucial roles in the excellent performance of CeO_2-Co_3O_4 for the HCHO oxidation.     

Promotional effect of CeO2 and Y2O3 on CuO/ZrO2 catalysts for methane combustion

Catalytic combustion of methane was conducted by using a Cu-based catalyst prepared by the plasma-assisted impregnation method. The properties of the catalysts were surveyed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). The results showed that the activity of CuO/ZrO2 with the CeO2 and Y2O3 was obviously increased compared with the CuO/ZrO2 catalyst, which was examined in relation to the structure and surface characteristics and might be correlated with their surface oxygen species and redox properties. Among the investigated catalysts, the Ce-CuO/ZrO2 sample exhibited the highest activity for methane combustion.

CeO2-Co3O4 Catalysts for CO Oxidation

CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation were prepared by a co-precipitation method. In combination with the characterization methods of N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）, and FT-IR, the influence of the cerium content on the catalytic performance of CeO2-Co3O4 was investigated. The results indicate that the prepared CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts exhibit a better activity than that of pure CeO2 or pure Co3O4. The catalyst with the Ce/Co atomic ratio 1 ： 16 exhibits the best activity, which converts 77% of CO at room temperature and completely oxidizes CO at 45 ℃.     

Effect of Rare Earth Oxides on Catalysts Mo-Te System

Surface compositions,structures,and acidities of the Mo-Te-Fe-Ni catalysts added with La_2O_3,CeO_2,Pr_6O_(12),Nd_2O_3 and Sm_2O_3 were measured and related with the activities of the catalysts for selective oxidationof olefins.It was found that adding rare earth elements to the Mo-Te catalysts increases obviously theirselectivities to methacrolein(MAL),and the yield percentage of MAL changes periodically with the increase ofatomic numbers of rare earth elements added,and the highest yield was obtained with the catalyst containingCeO_2.The addition of CeO_2 to 9-component Mo-Te catalyst increases not only the activity of the catalyst,but also its thermostability remarkably.The mechanism of rare earth elements in the catalysts was discussed.     

Synergistic catalytic removals of NO,CO and HC over CeO2 modified Mn-Mo-W-Ox/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst

A series of Mn-Mo-W-O_x/TiO_2-SiO_2 catalysts was modified with CeO_2 using an extrusion molding method. The catalytic activities of the obtained catalysts were tested for the synergistic catalytic removals of CO, NO and C_3H_8. The ratio of catalyst composition on catalytic activities for NH_3-SCR was optimized, which reveals that the molar ratio of Ti/Si was 9:1 and the catalyst containing 1.5 wt% CeO_2 and 12 wt% Mn-Mo-W-O_x exhibits the best catalytic performances. These samples were characterized by XRD, N_2-BET, Py-IR, NH_3-TPD, SEM/element mapping, H_2-TPR and XPS, respectively. Results show that the optimal catalyst exhibits more than 99% NO conversion, 86% CO conversion and 100% C_3H_8 conversion under GHSV of 5000 h~(-1). In addition, the GHSV has little influence on removal of NO when it is less than 15,000 h~(-1). Furthermore, the addition of CeO_2 will enhance the surface acidity, increase Mn~(4+)concentration and inhibit the grain growth, which are favorable for the excellent catalytic performance.Anyway,the 1.5 wt% CeO_2-12 wt% Mn-Mo-W-O_x/TiO_2-SiO_2 possesses outstanding redox properties,abundant acid sites and high Mn~(4+) concentration, which provide a guarantee for synergistic catalytic removal of CO, NO and HC.
