Catalysts were prepared by impregnation of Fe2(MoO4)3 with different quantities of antimony butoxide. BET surface area measurement, XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, CTEM-AEM, XPS and ISS were used to characterize phase and surface architectures and their changes after calcination and catalytic reaction. Before calcination, antimony was present as pure oxide or hydroxide, partly as particles and partly as an incomplete monolayer on the surface of Fe2(MoO4)3. After calcination at 400°C, antimony got detached from the Fe2(MoO4)3 surface and aggregated very intensively, partly as Sb2O4 and partly, through reaction with the iron molybdate, as a mixture of distorted FeSbO4 and MoO3. After reaction or calcination at 500°C, more distorted FeSbO4 and MoO3 are formed, separated from Fe2(MoO4)3. Selective oxidation of isobutene to methacrolein was carried out on the calcined material. Impregnated catalysts show considerably improved catalytic performances compared to the pure Fe2(MoO4)3 phase or mechanical mixtures of it with α-Sb2O4. The catalytic performances are explained by several catalytic cooperations via spillover oxygen. These cooperative effects involve all the oxide phases present in the material having worked as catalyst: Fe2(MoO4)3 (pure or possibly contaminated by small amounts of antimony oxide), FeSbO4, MoO3 and SbyOx.
Removal of Sb(V) from copper electrolyte by different sorbents such as activated carbon, bentonite, kaolin, resin, zeolite and white sand was investigated. Adsorption capacity of Sb(V) removal from copper electrolyte was as follows: white sand < anionic resin < zeolite < kaolin < activated carbon < bentonite. Bentonite was characterized using FTIR, XRF, XRD, SEM and BET methods. The results show specific surface area of 95 m2/g and particles size of 175 nm for bentonite. The optimum conditions for the maximum removal of Sb are contact time 10 min, 4 g bentonite and temperature of 40 °C. The adsorption of Sb(V) on bentonite is followed by pseudo-second-order kinetic (R2=0.996 and k=9×10?5 g/(mg·min)). Thermodynamic results reveal that the adsorption of Sb(V) onto bentonite from copper electrolyte is endothermic and spontaneous process (ΔGΘ=–4806 kJ/(mol·K). The adsorption data fit both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. Bentonite has the maximum adsorption capacity of 10000 mg/g for adsorption of Sb(V) in copper electrolyte. The adsorption of Zn, Co, Cu and Bi that present in the copper electrolyte is very low and insignificant. 相似文献
The phase change, densification, and microstructure development of ZnO doped with both Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 are studied to better understand the sintering behavior of ZnO varistors. The densification behavior is related to the formation of pyrochlore and liquid phases; the densification is retarded by the former and promoted by the latter. The pyrochlore phase, whose composition is Bi3/2ZnSb3/2O7, appears below 700°C. The formation temperature of the liquid phase depends on the Sb/Bi ratio: about 750°C for Sb/Bi < 1 by the eutectic melting in the system ZnO—Bi2O3, and about 1000°C for Sb/Bi > 1 by the reaction of the pyrochlore phase with ZnO. Hence, the densification rate is determined virtually by the Sb/Bi ratio and not by the total amount of additives. The microstructure depends on the sintering temperature. Sintering at 1000°C forms intragrain pyrochlore particles in ZnO grains as well as intergranular layers, but the intragrain particles disappear at 1200°C by the increased amount of liquid phase, which enhances the mobility of the solid second phase. 相似文献
The current paper reports the changes in the structural and optical properties of antimony-doped tin sulfide ternary (SbxSn1-xS) (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) thin films synthesized by the thermal evaporation technique on a glass substrate. Structural characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy of the prepared sample revealed that the thin films are crystalline in nature. The nanoflake-like structure was found from the surface morphological analysis performed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The concentration of the compositional elements was confirmed from the energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The linear and nonlinear optical parameters were calculated by using the transmission data obtained from UV–vis spectroscopy in the range of 800–1100 nm. The optical measurements showed an increase in transmittance and shifting of the absorption edge. The optical bandgap increased (1.239–1.378 eV) and the refractive index decreased with the increase of Sb concentration, satisfying the Moss rule. The nonlinear susceptibility and the nonlinear refractive index (n2) decreased with Sb content. The changes in both linear and nonlinear parameters by varying the antimony doping concentration could be helpful for controlling the optical properties of SbxSn1-xS thin films and could be a suitable candidate for many photonics and optoelectronic applications. 相似文献
This paper describes the role of Sb and Nb, components of Sn/V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides catalysts for the gas-phase ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile. In samples without Nb and with atomic ratios Sn/V/Sb 1/0.2/x (x = 0 to 3), Sb in the form of amorphous oxide is necessary in order to obtain an active and selective catalyst. However, during reaction the dispersed Sb oxide segregates to α-Sb2O4, and the yield to acrylonitrile decreases considerably. The addition of Nb gives rise to the formation of Nb-containing SbOx and non-stoichiometric rutile-type V/Nb/Sb mixed oxides. The presence of these compounds enhances the catalytic activity and the selectivity to acrylonitrile. Moreover, the catalyst shows a stable catalytic performance, with no segregation of α-Sb2O4. 相似文献
