TiO2 Supported Nano—Au Catalysts Prepared via Solvated Metal Atom Impregnation for Low-Temperature CO Oxidation

TiO₂ supported nano-Au catalysts were prepared by solvated metal atom impregnation (SMAI) method. The catalysts were characterized by means of AAS, TPD, H₂ reduction desorption (H₂-RD), XRD, TEM, XPS and tested for low-temperature CO oxidation. XRD and TEM results showed that the pretreatment temperature had an influence on the particle size of Au/TiO₂catalysts. The average particle size increased with the increase in pretreatment temperature. XPS indicated that gold in the catalysts was presented in the form of metallic state clusters. Catalytic studies showed these catalysts were very active and stable in low-temperature CO oxidation. The CO oxidation activity of the catalysts increased as the Au particle size decreased. The measurement results of AAS, TPD and H₂-RD revealed that there were some organic fragments on the surface of Au particles which might be responsible for the high stability of the Au/TiO₂ catalysts.

Effect of Carbon Deposits on Reactivity of Supported Pd Model Catalysts

Alumina-supported Pd model catalysts were prepared by Pd evaporation onto a thin alumina film grown on a NiAl(110) substrate. Adsorption and co-adsorption of ethene, CO and hydrogen on Pd/Al₂O₃/NiAl(110) covered by carbon species, formed by ethene dehydrogenation at 550 K, was studied by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). TPD results show that carbon deposits do not prevent adsorption but inhibit dehydrogenation of di- bonded ethene. Carbon species suppress CO adsorption in the highly coordinated sites and also suppress the formation of hydrogen ad-atoms on the surface. The ethene hydrogenation reaction performed by co-adsorption of hydrogen and ethene is inhibited by the presence of carbon deposits. The inhibition is independent of particle size studied (1-3 nm). The effects are rationalized in terms of a site-blocking behavior of carbon species occupying highly coordinated sites on the Pd surface.     

Activated Carbon Supported Metal Catalysts for Nitrate and Nitrite Reduction in Water

Ten monometallic and 13 bimetallic catalysts supported on activated carbon were assessed, the former in the reduction of nitrate or nitrite and the latter in the nitrate reduction. Under the conditions used, nitrite was shown to be reduced by monometallic catalysts. With exception of Ru, only some of the bimetallic catalysts were able to reduce nitrate. Rh–Cu shows the highest conversion, but Pd–Cu is the most promising catalyst if selectivity into nitrogen is also considered.     

Activation of Supported Pd Metal Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Hydrogen to Hydrogen Peroxide

Catalytic activity of supported Pd metal catalysts (Pd metal deposited on carbon, alumina, gallia, ceria or thoria) showing almost no activity in the liquid-phase direct oxidation of H₂ to H₂O₂ (at 295 K) in acidic medium (0.02 M H₂SO₄) can be increased drastically by oxidizing them using different oxidizing agents, such as perchloric acid, H₂O₂, N₂O and air. In the case of the Pd/carbon (or alumina) catalyst, perchloric acid was found to be the most effective oxidizing agent. The order of the H₂-to-H₂O₂ conversion activity for the perchloric-acid-oxidized Pd/carbon (or alumina) and air-oxidized other metal oxide supported Pd catalysts is as follows: Pd/alumina < Pd/carbon < Pd/CeO₂ < Pd/ThO₂ < Pd/Ga₂O₃. The H₂ oxidation involves lattice oxygen from the oxidized catalysts. The catalyst activation results mostly from the oxidation of Pd metal from the catalyst producing bulk or sub-surface PdO. It also caused a drastic reduction in the H₂O₂ decomposition activity of the catalysts. There exists a close relationship between the H₂-to-H₂O₂ conversion activity and/or H₂O₂ selectivity in the oxidation process and the H₂O₂ decomposition activity of the catalysts; the higher the H₂O₂ decomposition activity, the lower the H₂-to-H₂O₂ conversion activity and/or H₂O₂ selectivity.     

Effect of Pd on Cu-Zn Catalysts for the Hydrogenation of CO2 to Methanol: Stabilization of Cu Metal Against CO2 Oxidation

A palladium–copper–zinc catalyst (PdO:CuO:ZnO=2:28:70), prepared by sequential precipitation of the respective cations, was tested in the hydrogenation of CO₂ at high pressure (conditions: 60 bar, CO₂:H₂=1:3 (molar), W/F=0.0675 kg h/m³, 453-513 K). The methanol yield was improved on using this Pd-containing catalyst at all temperatures with respect to the reference copper–zinc catalyst (CuO:ZnO=30:70). This improvement was not due to an additional effect in which palladium was acting as an independent catalytic site but was caused by a synergetic effect of Pd on the active Cu sites. This effect was explained in terms of hydrogen spillover and an increased stability against CO₂ oxidation of the surface copper. Therefore, the present contribution not only supports previous literature findings concerning the hydrogen spillover mechanism but also resulted in a complementary view regarding the role of palladium in Pd-modified CuO-ZnO-based catalysts.     

Oxidation Reactions over Multi-Component Catalysts: Low-Temperature CO Oxidation and the Total Oxidation of CH4

A series of NM/MO _x /Al₂O₃ (NM = Pd, Ag, Pt, and Au) catalysts were prepared and tested in the oxidation of CO and CH₄. The catalysts were characterized with X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Where addition of MO _x generally does not seem to affect the catalyst activity in CH₄ oxidation, a large enhancement in CO oxidation was observed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been used to identify the role of MO _x as a promoter for low-temperature CO oxidation. The results were found to support a Mars and van Krevelen type model.     

Transition Metals Supported on Activated Carbon as Benzene Hydroxylation Catalysts

The direct conversion of benzene to phenol by hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide was carried out over catalyst containing various transition metals impregnated on activated carbon. Iron and vanadium impregnated catalysts gave better yields of phenol compared to copper impregnated catalysts. The activity of transition metals supported on activated carbon catalyst in the production of phenol was V > Fe > Cu. In addition to the role of transition metals in catalyzing the hydroxylation reaction, the hydrophobic nature of the activated carbon surface and also the surface acidity and basicity seems to have enhanced the performance of these catalysts.

Oxidation of SO2over Supported Metal Oxide Catalysts

A systematic catalytic investigation of the sulfur dioxide oxidation reactivity of several binary (M_xO_y/TiO₂) and ternary (V₂O₅/M_xO_y/TiO₂) supported metal oxide catalysts was conducted. Raman spectroscopy characterization of the supported metal oxide catalysts revealed that the metal oxide components were essentially 100% dispersed as surface metal oxide species. Isolated fourfold coordinated metal oxide surface species are present for most oxides tested at low coverages, whereas at surface coverages approaching monolayer polymerized surface metal oxide species with sixfold coordination are present for some of the oxides. The sulfur dioxide oxidation turnover frequencies (SO₂molecules converted per surface redox site per second) of the binary catalysts were all within an order of magnitude (V₂O₅/TiO₂>Fe₂O₃/TiO₂>Re₂O₇/TiO₂∼CrO₃/TiO₂∼Nb₂O₅/TiO₂>MoO₃/TiO₂∼WO₃/TiO₂). An exception was the K₂O/TiO₂catalyst system, which is inactive for sulfur dioxide oxidation under the chosen reaction conditions. With the exception of K₂O, all of the surface metal oxide species present in the ternary catalysts (i.e., oxides of V, Fe, Re, Cr, Nb, Mo, and W) can undergo redox cycles and oxidize sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide. The turnover frequency for SO₂oxidation over all of these catalysts is approximately the same at both low and high surface coverages, despite structural differences in the surface metal oxide overlayers. This indicates that the mechanism of sulfur dioxide oxidation is not sensitive to the coordination of the surface metal oxide species. A comparison of the activities of the ternary catalysts with the corresponding binary catalysts suggests that the surface vanadium oxide and the additive surface oxide redox sites act independently without synergistic interactions: the sum of the individual activities of the binary catalysts quantitatively correspond to the activity of the corresponding ternary catalyst. The V₂O₅/K₂O/TiO₂catalyst showed a dramatic reduction in catalytic activity in comparison to the unpromoted V₂O₅/TiO₂catalyst. The ability of potassium oxide to significantly retard the redox potential of the surface vanadia species is primarily responsible for the lower catalytic reactivity.     

Liquid Phase Oxidation of Glycerol Using a Single Phase (Au–Pd) Alloy Supported on Activated Carbon: Effect of Reaction Conditions

The liquid phase oxidation of glycerol has been studied over gold–palladium nanoparticles supported on activated carbon and synthesized by using a one-protocol synthesis. The effect of pressure, catalyst amount and base has been examined by using an autoclave reactor with molecular oxygen as oxidant at mild conditions. By choosing the appropriate reaction conditions control of selectivity could be possible, whereas activity is strongly dependent on catalyst amount and concentration of base.     

Preservation of the Activity of Supported Gold Catalysts for CO Oxidation

Procedures leading to the preservation of activity of supported gold catalysts for CO oxidation are reviewed. The inclusion of iron as Fe(OH)₃ in preparing catalysts using tin oxide, ceria and zirconia as supports gives better activity and much improved stability with time-on-stream. In the case of Au/Fe-SnO₂ (0.5–0.9% Au), the effect is maximal with ~4% Fe. The stability of catalysts based on ceria as support is also much better when small amounts of either iron or lanthanum during preparation of the support by thermal decomposition of nitrates. Au/SnO₂ catalysts often suffer initial deactivation followed by an increase in activity with time-on-stream; a period of refrigeration (7d) induces an excellent stability at high conversion.

Results are very promising ones because they suggests that it is possible to transform methane on these catalysts by using mild reaction conditions.     

TiO2 Supported Nano-Au Catalysts Prepared Via Solvated Metal Atom Impregnation for Low–Temperature CO Oxidation

The Ce _x Ti_1?x O₂ mixed oxides at different mole ratios (x=0.1–1.0) were prepared by co-precipitation of TiCl₄ and Ce(NO₃)₃. The structural and reductive properties of the Ce _x Ti_{1? x} O₂ were affected by calcination temperature. At x=0.1–0.3, CeTi₂O₆ phase was formed and mainly as amorphous after calcination at 650°C. At x=0.3, only CeTi₂O₆ was formed after calcination at 750°C and CeTi₂O₆ crystallized completely after calcination at 800°C. TPR analyses showed that the amount of H₂ consumption by Ce _x Ti_1?xO₂ (650°C) (except x=0.1) was greater than that by single CeO₂, and the valence of CeO₂was the lowest (+3.18) at x=0.3. CuO/Ce_0.3Ti_0.7O₂ was prepared by the impregnation method and catalytic properties were examined by means of a GC micro-reactor NO+CO reaction system, BET, TPR, XRD, XPS and NO-TPD. It was found that CuO/Ce_0.3Ti_0.7O₂ calcined at 650°C had the highest activity in NO+CO reaction with 100% NO conversion at reaction temperature of 300°C, and at 650°C Ce_0.3Ti_0.7O₂just began to crystallize. The catalytic activities were largely affected by the pre-treatment conditions. At low reduction temperature (100°C), CuO species was difficult to reduce. When high degree of reductions took place, both CuO species and Ce_0.3Ti_0.7O₂ reduced and thus a part of CuO species on the support surface would be covered. The XPS and NO-TPD analyses showed that CuO/Ce_0.3Ti_0.7O₂ had four NO absorption centers (Cu⁺, Cu²⁺(I), Cu²⁺(II) and Ce³⁺). The CuO species involving in NO+CO reaction included Cu²⁺(I) and Cu⁺, and CeO₂ species (Ce³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺).     

Long-Chain-Amine Metal Complexes as Hydrogenation Catalysts. Heterogenisation on Activated Carbon

The catalytic activity of [PdCl₂(NH₂(CH₂)₁₂CH₃)₂] (named [Pd(TDA)]) and [RhCl(NH₂(CH₂)₁₂CH₃)₃] (named [Rh(TDA)]) complexes for the hydrogenation of cyclohexene has been analysed both in homogeneous phase and heterogenised on activated carbon. The [Rh(TDA)] complex has been found to be more active than the [Pd(TDA)], both homogeneous and heterogenised. Experimental and modelled results indicate that these complexes follow a similar reaction mechanism, but with different rates. A clear positive effect of the carbon support has been found in the case of the complex [Rh(TDA)], which has been related to the anchorage of the aliphatic chains of the amine ligands on the activated carbon pores. Experiments in consecutive catalytic runs show that the heterogenised complexes can be used several times giving an acceptable conversion level.
