Removal of Cooking Fume by Catalytic Combustion on Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Ce0.5 Zr0.5O2 Catalyst

Four monolithic catalysts with low concentration of noble metal were prepared by the immersion method [ Pt/La- Al2O3, Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Pt/OSM （2 ： 1 ）, Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Pt/OSM （ 1 ： 1 ） Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Pt/OSM （ 1 ： 2） ], and measurements of their activity were carded out in a conventional fixed-bed flow reactor. The results show that the oxygen storage material （OSM） that is added can promote the activity of the prepared catalysts and can decrease the complete conversion temperature of cooking fume. When the ratio between La-Al2O3 and OSM is 1 ： 1, the catalyst has the highest activity, and the complete conversion temperature of cooking fume is 270℃ ; the catalyst thus prepared can be applied in a wide range of gas hourly space velocity （GHSV） [from 10000 to 60000 h^-1]. The catalyst obtained shows great potential for practical application.     

Catalytic Combustion of Diesel Soot over K2NiF4-type Oxides La2-xKxCuO4

The K2NiF4 type oxides, La2-x KxCuO4 complex oxides with nanometric size were prepared by sol-gel method. The characters of these samples were analyzed by H2-TPR, XRD, FT-IR and SEM. The catalytic activity for soot combustion was evaluated by temperature-programmed reaction （TPO） technique. The results demonstrate that the substitution of K^＋ for La^3＋ at A-site will increase the catalytic activities of La2-xKxCuO4 to soot combustion greatly, and the substitution quantity affects the structure and catalytic activity obviously. The La1.8 K0.2 CuO4 complex oxides with tetrahedral structure has the best catalytic activity for soot removal reaction, the ignition temperature of soot combustion is decreased from 490 to 320℃.     

La-Hexaaluminate Catalyst Preparation and Its Performance for Methane Catalytic Combustion

The La-hexaaluminate catalysts with high performance ration method with the buffer solution of NH4HCO3 and NH4OH were synthesized by the modified controllable co-precipimixture as the precipitation agent. The physicochemical properties of catalysts were characterized by the means of BET, XRD, and TPR techniques. With methane catalytic combustion as the probe reaction, the catalytic performances were also tested on a fixed bed, continual flow system. The resuits show that it is a good method to obtain chemical homogeneous hexaaluminate materials by the buffer solution as the precipitation agent. The La-hexaaluminate can be formed at low temperatures ranging from 1050 to 1200 ℃. The cerium introduction plays a great role in the methane catalytic combustion on La-Mn hexaaluminate because of its high oxygen storage capacity property and the well synergic effect between Ce and Mn. However, the CeO2 appears in hexaaluminate through the XRD pattern, which reveals that Ce can not enter the crystal lattice position. Mn introduction improves the methane catalytic activity to a large extent due to its high redox property. When Mn atomic substitution amount for A1 is 2, the hexaaluminate shows the highest activity, and the catalyst possesses good H2 consumption and redox performance. Mn can easily occupy the hexaaluminate crystal position, which reveals that the Mn substitute La-hexaaluminate is a promising high temperature methane combustion catalyst with high activity and good stability.     

Effect of Novel Supporter on Catalytic Combustion of Methane

A new catalyst support, Ce-Mg-O, was prepared in a novel way macromolecule surfactant modified method and was used as a catalyst support for low-temperature methane combustion. The results indicate that the new type of FeOx/Ce- Mg-O catalyst exhibits high activity in low-temperature methane combustion, such that the T90 at which 90% conversion of methane occurs can be obtained at 560 ℃. The structure of the catalyst and the effect of the supporter on catalytic activity were characterized by transmission electronic microscopy （TEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）. The results indicate that the high catalytic activity of FeOx/Ce-Mg-O over methane combustion is strongly dependent on the particle size, typical crystal phase of the Ce-Mg-O, and the interaction of FeOx and Ce-Mg-O.     

Structure and Catalytic Behavior of CuO-ZrO-CeO2 Mixed Oxides

The effect of doping CuO on the structure and properties of zirconia-ceria mixed oxide was studied. The results show that addition of CuO decreases the reduction temperature of ceria, and stabilizes the cubic structure of mixed oxides, and enhances catalytic activity of CuO-ZrO-CeO2 mixed oxides for CO oxidation. Increasing ceria content in the mixed oxides can enhance the catalytic activity, but some impurities such as sulfate make catalytic activity falling. There is little effect of calcination temperature on catalytic activities, implying that these catalysts are effective with good thermal stability.     

CuO／CeO2 Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide in Excess Hydrogen

CuO/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by a coprecipitation method and tested for CO removal from reformed fuels via selective oxidation. The influence of the calcination temperature on the chemical compositions and catalytic performance of CuO/CeO2 catalysts were studied. It was found that CuO/CeO2 catalysts exhibit excellent CO oxidation activity and selectivity, and the complete removal of CO is attained when the catalysts are calcined at appropriate temperatures. XRD, TPR and XPS results indicate that CuO/CeO2 catalysts exhibit higher catalytic performance in CO selective oxidation due to the strong interaction between copper oxide and cerium dioxide, which promotes the dispersion and hydrogen reduction activity of copper.     

Development of Auto Exhaust Catalysts and Associated Application of Rare Earths in China

There are at least three obvious trends in the developments of automotive market in China : the evolution of emission standards from Euro Ⅱ to Euro Ⅲ, the demand of lean-burn gasoline engine and the time of diesel vehicles. The latest application and advances of exhaust catalysts by Chinese researchers, using some high effcient,economical and durable methods to meet these changes in emission regulations laws and engine technologies, were described. Rare earth oxides, such as lanthana, ceria-based solid solutions and perovskite-type oxides, are widely used as excellent promoters for thermal stability,oxygen storage capacity and oxidation/reduction activity in these catalysts. Four phases in the development of the auto exhaust catalyst industry in China since the mid 1970s were reviewed. It is argued that China will become the center of global auto exhaust catalysts industry in the next decades with its economic, technical and environmental incentives,which greatly depends on the research and development of rare earth.     

Influence of Additives Ceria and Lanthana on Performance of Pd／Al／Monolith Honeycomb Catalysts

The effects of ceria and lanthana additives on activity and thermal stabilization of the catalysts for CO oxidation were studied. The results show that the addition of CeO2 clearly improves the catalytic activity, which may derive from the synergic effect between CeO2 and PdO. The catalysts were characterized by means of temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. The XPS results of a slight increase in metal oxidation state reflect that the charge transfers from metal to ceria and ceria is slightly reduced, which leads to a decrease of the Ce-O bond strength. Pd-Ce synergism affects the reduction behavior of the catalysts. The TPR results show that the CeO2 ad-dition lowers the reduction temperature of PdO, while palladium facilitates the reduction of the ceria. For PdO/La2O3/Al2O3/monolith honeycomb catalysts, the aging test measurements at 1050 ℃ and the XRD results show that the formation of LaAlO3 which neutralizes the surface alumina defects inhibits the sintering of alumina.

Effect of Metal Oxide Doping into Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 on Catalytic Activity of MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45M0.1Ox(M=Y, La, Mn) Honeycomb Catalysts

This article showed that the catalytic activity of MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 monolithic catalyst toward the catalytic combustion of ethanol in a fixed bed reactor could be greatly improved by doping three metal oxides into Ce0.5Zr0.5O2. The catalytic activity of MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45M0.1Ox (M=Y, La, Mn) is better than that of MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.5Zr0.5O2. The order of activity of the catalysts is as follows: MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.1Ox＞MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45La0.1Ox＞MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45Mn0.1Ox＞MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.5Zr0.5O2. The influence of the loading amount of manganese oxide in enhancing the catalytic activity of MnOx/γ-Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.1Ox was investigated. The results showed that when MnO2 loading amount was 10%(mass fraction), the MnOx/Al2O3/Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.1Ox catalyst recorded the highest activity.

Application of Rare Earth Oxides in Diesel Exhaust Purification Catalysts

Diesel oxide catalysts and soot combustion catalysts were reported in this paper.The former was manufactured in mass last year, and enhanced performance is under development now.The later is screened out and further research is under way.The best soot combustion catalyst could ignite soot combustion even at 350 ℃, which is within the range of temperatures reached in diesel exhaust, and shows the catalytic combustion velocity nearly one time faster compared with non-catalytic combustion of soot, which is of benefit to rapid regeneration of diesel particulate filter, thus it might be an excellent practicable catalyst.     

Catalytic combustion of diesel soot over K2NiF4-type oxides La2-xKxCuO4

Nanostructure K2NiF4 type oxides La2-xKxCuO4 complex oxides were prepared using the Sol-Gel method, characterized by X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, Fourier Transform Infrared （FT-IR）, and Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM）. The catalytic activity for soot combustion was evaluated by the Temperature-Programmed Reaction （TPO） technique. The results demonstrated that the substitution quality of K^＋ for La^3＋ at the A-site would increase the catalytic activities of La2-xKxCuO4 for soot combustion greatly; the substitution quality affected the structure and catalytic activity obviously. The La1.8K0.2CuO4 complex oxides with tetrahedral structures had the best catalytic activity for soot combustion, and the ignition temperature of soot combustion was lowered from 490 to 320 ℃.     

Catalytic combustion study of soot on Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 solid solution

The Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 solid solution and CeO2 were prepared using the sol-gel method. The phase structure, crystallite sizes and the reducibility of the catalysts were characterized by XRD and H2-TPR techniques. XRD results indicated that Zr^4＋ had replaced part of Ce^4＋ to form a fluorite-like solid solution, which was favorable to obtain ultrafine nanoparticles. The ratio of main HE consumption for Ce0.7Zr0.3O2：CeO2 was 4.4：1.0, implying that the solid solution could improve the reducibility compared to the single CeO2. The Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 solid solution catalyst showed a sharp combustion peak at 397 ℃, which was 200 ℃ lower than that of the single soot. The good catalytic activity of the Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 was attributed to the formation of nano-CeO2-based solid solution, which enhanced the reducibility and then improved the combustion activity. As Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 could be easily reduced to Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-x meanwhile, after oxygenation, the Ce0.7Zr0.3O2.x was recovered to Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 completely. A catalytic combustion reaction mechanism was proposed： the Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 was reduced to Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-x by the reaction with carbon and then it was recovered to Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-x by the interaction with O2.
