Abstract: | The effect of increasing the reaction temperature to 300 °C on the activity, stability and deactivation behavior of a 4.5 wt.% Au/CeO2 catalyst in the water gas shift (WGS) reaction in idealized reformate was studied by kinetic and spectroscopic measurements at 300 °C and comparison with previously reported data for reaction at 180 °C under similar reaction conditions [A. Karpenko, Y. Denkwitz, V. Plzak, J. Cai, R. Leppelt, B. Schumacher, R.J. Behm, Catal. Lett. 116 (2007) 105]. Different procedures for catalyst pretreatment were used, including annealing at 400 °C in oxidative, reductive or inert atmospheres as well as redox processing. The formation/removal of stable adsorbed reaction intermediates and side products (surface carbonates, formates, OHad, COad) was followed by in situ IR spectroscopy (DRIFTS), the presence of differently oxidized surface species (Au0, Au0′, Au3+, Ce3+) was evaluated by XPS. The reaction characteristics at 300 °C generally resemble those at 180 °C, including (i) significantly higher reaction rates, (ii) comparable apparent activation energies (44 ± 1/50 ± 1 kJ mol−1 vs. 40 ± 1 kJ mol−1 at 180 °C), (iii) a correlation between deactivation of the catalyst and the build-up of stable surface carbonates, and (iv) a decrease of the initially significant differences in activity after different pretreatment procedures with reaction time. Different than expected, the tendency for deactivation did not decrease with higher temperature, due to enhanced carbonate decomposition, but increases. |
