The structures of VOx/MOx and alkali-VOx/MOx catalysts and their catalytic performances for soot combustion

Vanadium oxides supported on γ-Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ were studied on their molecular structures and reactive performances for soot combustion. To investigate the effect of different alkali metals on the structures and reactivities of supported-vanadium oxide catalysts, they were doped into the V₄/TiO₂ catalyst which had the best intrinsic activity for soot combustion in the selected supported vanadium oxide catalysts. The experimental results demonstrated that the catalytic properties of these catalysts depended on the vanadium loading amount, support nature, and the presence or the absence of alkali metals. The spectroscopic analysis (FT-IR and UV–vis) and H₂-TPR results revealed that the higher activity of alkali-promoted vanadium oxide catalysts could be related to the ability of alkali metal promoting the redox cycle of the active vanadyl species. TG results showed that adding alkali to V_m/TiO₂ catalyst was beneficial to lowering their melting points. Low melting points could ensure the good surface atom migration ability, which would improve the contact between the catalyst and soot. Due to the alkali metal components promoting the redox ability and the mobility of the catalysts, alkali-modified vanadium oxide catalysts could remarkably improve their catalytic activities for soot combustion. The catalytic activity order for soot combustion followed Li > Na > K > Rb > Cs in the catalyst system of alkali-V₄/TiO₂, and the reason why it followed this sequence was discussed.     

Investigation of factors influencing sodium sulfide oxidation in the presence of polymeric heterogeneous catalysts of transition metal oxides

The activity of heterogeneous catalysts of transition metal oxides and their mixtures deposited on the polymeric matrix in the oxidation of sodium sulfide was investigated. It is shown that mixtures of manganese oxide and other transition metal oxides have high catalytic activity. It was evident that the positive synergistic effect occurred in the combined action of two or more catalytically active transition metal oxides, and the maximum effect was observed in the mixture of three catalytic agents of transition metal oxides. Catalytic mechanism of transition metal oxides for sulfide oxidation was studied. The kinetics of formation of products of sodium sulfide oxidation was studied in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts based on phthalocyanine cobalt and transition metal oxides. The dependence of the rate of formation of products of sodium sulfide oxidation on alkali concentration was investigated. Some factors influencing the oxidation rate such as sulfide, oxygen and alkaline concentrations, antioxidant and oxidation products were investigated.

Influence of the Alkali Promoter on the Activity and Stability of Transition Metal (Cu, Co, Fe) Based Structured Catalysts for the Simultaneous Removal of Soot and NOx

Structured catalysts prepared by means of coating cordierite monoliths with alumina-based suspensions containing transition metals such as Cu, Co and Fe and alkali/alkali-earth promoters such as K and Ba. Textural and structural features of these catalysts were analyzed by means of N₂ adsorption and SEM. Their activity in the simultaneous removal of soot and NO_x was assayed in a lab-scale installation, using a carbon black as diesel surrogate. Catalysts exhibited significant activity in deNO_x and soot oxidation. K and Ba enhanced both NO_x adsorption and soot–catalyst contact. However Ba contributed to a greater extent to the adsorption of N-species, which moreover presented higher thermal stability than on K-catalysts, and K showed higher mobility than Ba. Thus, Ba-containing catalysts showed increased activity towards NO_x reduction but shifted to higher temperatures in comparison to K-catalysts, which on the other hand resulted more active towards soot oxidation than Ba-ones. Fe-based catalyst turned out to be less active both in soot oxidation and NO_x reduction than Co and Cu-based ones. Intensive calcination of the catalysts at 800 °C for 5 h resulted in substantial loss of K and Ba. Loss of promoter depends, however, on the metal contained in the catalyst. In this sense Fe-containing catalysts showed higher stability. Calcination has a substantial effect on catalytic activity. Catalyst significantly lost their NO_x adsorption capacity and showed similar activity than a catalyst prepared in absence of promoter, pointing to a substantial change in reaction mechanism and reaction predominantly occurring on metallic sites upon the loss of alkali/alkali-earth compound.     

Simultaneous removal of nitrogen oxides and diesel soot particulates catalyzed by perovskite-type oxides

Perovskite-type oxides (ABO₃) catalyzed the simultaneous removal of NO_x and diesel soot particulates in the presence of oxygen, and were superior to transition metal simple oxides in the selectivity for NO_x reduction. Although the catalytic activity of perovskite-type oxides depended on both A-site and B-site cations, the substitution of potassium at A sites prominently promoted the oxidation of soot and the reduction of NO_x.

Highly Active La1−x K x CoO3 Perovskite-type Complex Oxide Catalysts for the Simultaneous Removal of Diesel Soot and Nitrogen Oxides Under Loose Contact Conditions

The nanometric La_1?x K _x CoO₃ (x = 0–0.30) perovskite-type oxides were prepared by a citric acid-ligated method. The catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, IR, BET, XPS and SEM. The catalytic activity for the simultaneous removal of soot and nitrogen oxides was evaluated by a technique of the temperature-programmed oxidation reaction. In the LaCoO₃ catalyst, the partial substitution of La³⁺ at A-site by alkali metal K⁺ enhanced the catalytic activity for the oxidation of soot particle and reduction of NO _x . The La_0.70K_0.30CoO₃ oxides are good candidate catalysts for the simultaneous removal of soot particle and NO _x . The combustion temperatures for soot particles over the La_0.70K_0.30CoO₃ catalyst are in the range from 289 to 461 °C, the selectivity of CO₂ is 98.4% and the conversion of NO to N₂ is 34.6% under loose contact conditions. The possible reasons that can lead to the activity enhancement for the K-substitution samples compared to the unsubstituted sample (LaCoO₃) were given. The particle size has a large effect on its catalytic performance for the simultaneous removal of diesel soot and nitrogen oxides.     

Catalytic combustion of soot on metal oxides and their supported metal chlorides

Gravimetric temperature programmed oxidation was used to study the combustion of a soot mixed with various metal oxides and their supported metal chloride catalysts. It is found that the catalytic effect of metal oxide on soot combustion varies depending on property of oxides. CuO and Cr₂O₃ are better catalysts. Addition of some chloride salts (FeCl₃, NaCl and KCl) increases the catalytic activity and KCl exhibits the highest promoting effect by reducing the T_max for about 200 °C. Metal chlorides can also show a synergistic effect on soot combustion. FeCl₃–KCl/CuO can reduce the T_max of carbon oxidation from 780 to 500 °C. Investigation also demonstrates that FeCl₃–KCl/CuO is effective for NO reduction at low temperatures.     

K- and Cs-FeV/Al2O3soot combustion catalysts for diesel exhaust treatment

Alkali-doped FeV oxide catalysts supported on -alumina were prepared and their catalytic activity in the combustion of diesel soot is reported. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, TPR and SEM–EDX analysis. The influence of the nature of the alkali metal (K and Cs), the temperature of treatment of the catalysts and the stability to sulfur poisoning have been investigated.

Catalysts doped with Cs were the most active and stable also after several combustion cycles and in the presence of sulfur in the stream. The activity measurements and microstructural results suggest that the combustion of soot is favored on catalysts where amorphous phases and/or mixed Fe---V---O phases, ensuring an intimate contact between iron and vanadium, are present. A reaction mechanism involving the participation of the redox couple Fe(II)–Fe(III) in the activation of the vanadium combustion sites, is proposed.     

Effect of promoters on catalytic performance of Cr/SiO2 catalysts in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with carbon dioxide

Several acidic and basic oxide promoted Cr/SiO₂ catalysts were prepared and investigated in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane in the presence of carbon dioxide. The effects of SO₄ ^2–, WO₃ and alkali metal oxides (Li₂O, Na₂O, and K₂O) on the catalytic activity were studied. It is found that sulfation of silica produces a positive effect on ethane conversion and ethylene yield while tungstation and addition of strong basic promoters (alkali metal oxides) suppress the catalytic activity. Characterization indicates that the varying activity of the promoted catalysts can be attributed to the difference in acid/base property and redox potential.     

Catalytic combustion of diesel soot particles on copper catalysts supported on TiO2. Effect of potassium promoter on the activity

We have prepared a TiO₂ supported copper catalyst and studied the effect of potassium on its activity in the oxidation of soot particles. The catalysts, with a K/Cu atomic ratio varying between 0 and 2, were calcined at 1073 K. They were characterized by BET surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction and temperature-programmed reduction under hydrogen. The catalytic activity was measured in a microbalance by means of temperature-programmed oxidation in air or argon. The catalytic activity of copper was enhanced by the presence of potassium. This effect was attributed to the formation of mixed K---Ti oxides which inhibit the sintering of the TiO₂ support and thus increases the surface area of the catalyst. Although a redox mechanism can explain the catalytic combustion, no correlation could be established between the reducibility of the different solids and their activity in soot combustion.

Catalytic oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons on multicomponent Au/Al2O3 catalysts: Effect of various promoters

The performance of unpromoted and MO_x-(M: alkali (earth), transition metal and cerium) promoted Au/Al₂O₃ catalysts have been studied for combustion of the saturated hydrocarbons methane and propane. As expected, higher temperatures are required to oxidize CH₄ (above 400 °C), compared with C₃H₈ (above 250 °C). The addition of various MO_x to Au/Al₂O₃ improves the catalytic activity in both methane and propane oxidation. For methane oxidation, the most efficient promoters to enhance the catalytic performance of Au/Al₂O₃ are FeO_x and MnO_x. For C₃H₈ oxidation a direct relationship is found between the catalytic performance and the average size of the gold particles in the presence of alkali (earth) metal oxides. The effect of the gold particle size becomes less important for additives of the type of transition metal oxides and ceria. The results suggest that the role of the alkali (earth) metal oxides is related to the stabilization of the gold nanoparticles, whereas transition metal oxide and ceria additives may be involved in oxygen activation.

Nanometric La1−x K x MnO3 Perovskite-type oxides – highly active catalysts for the combustion of diesel soot particle under loose contact conditions

The La_1−xK_xMnO₃ perovskite-type oxides whose sizes were in nanometric range were prepared by the citric acid-ligated method. The structures of these perovskite-type oxides were examined by XRD and FT-IR. The catalytic activity for the combustion of soot particulate was evaluated by a technique of the temperature-programmed reaction. In the LaMnO₃ catalyst, the partial substitution of K for La at A-site enhanced the catalytic activity for the combustion of soot particle. In the La_1−xK_xMnO₃ catalysts, the combustion temperature of soot particle decreases with increasing x values. The La_1−xK_xMnO₃ oxides with the substitution quantity between x=0.20 and x=0.25 are good candidate catalysts for the soot particle removal reaction, and the combustion temperature of soot particle is between 285 and 430 °C when the contact of catalysts and soot is loose, and their catalytic activities for the combustion of soot particle are as good as supported Pt catalysts, which is the best catalyst system so far reported for soot combustion under loose contact conditions.
