The preparation and properties of coprecipitated Cu–Zr–Y and Cu–Zr–La catalysts used for the steam reforming of methanol

Several samples of exhaust diesel soot are investigated by inverse gas chromatography and linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) modelling according to their soluble organic fraction content and their time of exposure in oxidative conditions. The results demonstrate the evolution of the adsorptive properties of the studied materials towards volatile compounds during the oxidation under NO₂.     

A novel laboratory bench for practical evaluation of catalysts useful for simultaneous conversion of NOx and soot in diesel exhaust

This study deals with the development of a laboratory bench for the practical evaluation of catalysts that are useful for the direct conversion of NO_x and soot in the exhaust of diesel engines. The employed model exhaust is generated by using a diffusion burner with additionally dosing some gaseous components to the burner gas to obtain a realistic feed composition. The produced soot is extensively characterized by employing thermogravimetry, transmission electron microscopy, N₂ physisorption and temperature programmed techniques. The results of the different characterization methods show that the present soot is suitable for the intended catalytic investigations. The simultaneous conversion of NO_x and soot is examined like in practice, i.e. the soot is separated from the tail gas by a diesel particulate filter (DPF) that is coated with the catalyst. The deposited soot is then catalytically converted by NO_x and O₂ to form N₂ and CO₂. The conversions of NO_x and soot are measured by exclusively applying gas analysers, whereby a special experimental procedure is developed to determine the soot removal. Hence, additional soot related analytics are not required. To show the suitability of the constructed bench a Pt/Fe₂O₃/β-zeolite sample is taken as test catalyst that is reported to be very active in NO_x/soot reaction. The measurements performed with and without catalyst clearly show the effect of the used sample in simultaneous NO_x/soot conversion. We therefore consider the constructed laboratory bench to be a useful tool for testing and ranking catalytic materials.     

In-situ generation of platinum nanoparticles on LaCoO3 matrix for soot oxidation

The LaCo_0.94Pt_0.06O₃ catalyst is reduced under 5% H₂/Ar at different temperatures to get Pt/LaCoO₃ with high catalytic activity for soot oxidation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H₂-temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), O₂-temperature programmed desorption (O₂-TPD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to study the physicochemical properties of the catalyst. SEM and TEM results indicate that Pt nanoparticles (<10 nm) are grown homogeneously on the surface of the LaCoO₃ matrix after in-situ reduction. XRD shows that the reduced catalyst has a high symmetrical structure. TGA results indicate that all reduced catalysts exhibit an excellent activity, especially the catalyst reduced at 350 °C (T₁₀ = 338 °C, T₅₀ = 393 °C, T₉₀ = 427 °C). And perovskite is the primary active component. According to XPS study, the high symmetrical structure benefits the mobility of oxygen vacancy, and Pt nanoparticles induce the oxygen vacancy to move to its adjacent situation, resulting in more adsorbed oxygen on the surface of the reduced catalyst and increasing the activity. The possible reaction principle is also proposed.     

Preparation of M/Ce1–xTixO2 (M=Pt,Rh, Ru) from sol-gel method and their catalytic oxidation activity for diesel soot

A series of Ce_1–xTi_xO₂ mixed oxide catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method and then loading of noble metal (M = Pt, Rh, Ru) was used for soot oxidation. Ti-doped Ce_1–xTi_xO₂ catalysts (x is the molar ratio of Ti/(Ti + Ce) and ranges from 0.1 to 0.5) exhibit much better oxidation performance than CeO₂ catalyst, and the Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂ catalyst calcined at 500 °C has the best catalysis activity. Each noble metal (1 wt%) was supported on Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂ (M/C9T1) and the properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, and H₂-temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR) results. Results show that the introduction of Ti into CeO₂ forming Ti-O-Ce structure enhances the catalytic activity and increases the number of oxygen vacancies at the catalyst surface. The noble metal is highly dispersed over Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂, and M/C9T1 catalysts present enhanced activity in comparison to Ce_0.9Ti_0.1O₂. It is found that noble metals can greatly increase the activity of the catalyst and the corresponding oxidation rate of soot can enhance the electron transfer capacity and oxygen adsorption capacity of the catalyst. A small amount of Ti doping in CeO₂ can significantly improve the activity of the catalyst, while a large amount of Ti reduces the performance of the catalyst because a large amount of Ti is enriched on the surface of the catalyst, which hinders the contact and reaction between the catalyst and the soot.     

Noble-free potassium-bimetallic catalysts supported on beta-zeolite for the simultaneous removal of NOx and soot from simulated diesel exhaust

This paper deals with the activity of the KCu and KCo catalysts supported on beta-zeolite for the simultaneous NO_x/soot removal from a simulated diesel exhaust, containing C₃H₆ as model hydrocarbon. In order to reveal the effect of potassium, the corresponding monometallic catalysts (Co/beta and Cu/beta) were analyzed and different potassium loadings were used. In addition, for comparative purpose, the performance of a platinum based catalyst (Pt/beta) was studied. All noble-free catalysts show, at 450 °C, a high activity for the simultaneous NO_x/soot removal. Among them, K1Cu/beta presents the best global performance at 350 and 450 °C achieving a high soot consumption rate (comparable to platinum catalysts) and the highest NO_x reduction. In contrast to platinum catalysts, K1Cu/beta has the advantage that the main reaction products are N₂ and CO_2.

Potassium–copper and potassium–cobalt catalysts supported on alumina for simultaneous NOx and soot removal from simulated diesel engine exhaust

This paper deals with the activity of bimetallic potassium–copper and potassium–cobalt catalysts supported on alumina for the reduction of NO_x with soot from simulated diesel engine exhaust. The effect of the reaction temperature, the soot/catalyst mass ratio and the presence of C₃H₆ has been studied. In addition, the behavior of two monometallic catalysts supported on zeolite beta (Co/beta and Cu/beta), previously used for NO_x reduction with C₃H₆, as well as a highly active HC-SCR catalyst (Pt/beta) has been tested for comparison. The preliminary results obtained in the absence of C₃H₆ indicate that, at temperatures between 250 and 400 °C, the use of bimetallic potassium catalysts notably increases the rate of NO_x reduction with soot evolving N₂ and CO₂ as main reaction products. At higher temperatures, the catalysts mainly favor the direct soot combustion with oxygen. In the presence of C₃H₆, an increase in the activity for NO_x reduction has been observed for the catalyst with the highest metal content. At 450 °C, the copper-based catalysts (Cu/beta and KCu2/Al₂O₃) show the highest activity for both NO_x reduction (to N₂ and CO₂) and soot consumption. The Pt/beta catalyst does not combine, at any temperature, a high NO_x reduction with a high soot consumption rate.     

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.

Soot oxidation kinetics under pressurized conditions

The oxidation kinetics, under different pressures, of soot samples obtained from different liquid fuels and two standards (a commercial black carbon sample and a reference diesel soot) was studied. Soot samples were generated in a flat-flame, premixed burner under heavily-sooting conditions and captured on a water-cooled stabilization plate located above the burner surface. The collected soot was oxidized using a high-pressure thermogravimetric analyzer (HTGA). TGA operation was optimized to reduce mass transfer effects by adjusting the oxidizer flow rate and initial sample mass. Further corrections for mass transfer were accomplished by computing the effectiveness factors for intraparticle, interparticle, and external mass transfer. Two pressures were evaluated (1 and 10 atm) and O₂ concentration was varied between 10 and 21%.
