Abstract: | The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of ceria on the physicochemical and catalytic properties of V2O5/TiO2–ZrO2 for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene utilizing CO2 as a soft oxidant. Monolayer equivalents of ceria, vanadia and ceria–vanadia combination over TiO2–ZrO2 (TZ) support were impregnated by a coprecipitation and wet impregnation methods. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction, transmission electron microscopy and BET surface area methods. The XRD profiles of 550 °C calcined samples revealed amorphous nature of the materials. Upon increasing calcination temperature to 750 °C, in addition to ZrTiO4 peaks, few other lines due to ZrV2O7 and CeVO4 were observed. The XPS V 2p results revealed the existence of V4+ and V5+ species at 550 and 750 °C calcinations temperatures, respectively. TEM analysis suggested the presence of nanosized (<7 nm) particles with narrow range distribution. Raman measurements confirmed the formation ZrTiO4 under high temperature treatments. TPR measurements suggested a facile reduction of CeO2–V2O5/TZ sample. Among various samples evaluated, the CeO2–V2O5/TZ sample exhibited highest conversion and nearly 100% product selectivity. In particular, the addition of ceria to V2O5/TZ suppressed the coke deposition and allowed a stable and high catalytic activity. |
