The catalysts prepared by hydrothermal method showed higher activity. Among the hydrothermal Nd-Co 3O 4 catalysts, the catalyst with Nd/Co molar ratio of 0.01 had higher activity. 0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 catalyst was then impregnated by K 2CO 3 solution to prepare K-modified catalyst. The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electrons microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H 2-TPR), and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O 2-TPD). The results show that Nd-Co 3O 4 and K-modified catalysts exhibit spinel structure. In contrast to bare Nd-Co 3O 4, the K-modified catalyst with higher activity is due to its weaker strength of Co-O bond and easier desorption of surface oxygen species. In addition, over 90% conversion of N 2O can be reached over 0.02K/0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 at 350 ℃ for 40 h under the co-presence of oxygen and steam in feed gases.展开更多

The reaction is predicted to occur on O_3c and O_(4c) atoms, but not onO_(5c) atoms, with an activation barrier of 25-27 kcal/mol, in agreement with the experimental valueof 35 kcal/mol. Natural bond orbital analysis shows that the reaction leaves O ad-atoms on thosesurface O anions to form a peroxide-like 'O^2_(2-)' species.

The experimental results revealed the catalytic activity of Co-Ni-Al is slightly higher than that of Co-Zn-Al and much higher than that of Co-Cu-Al for direct decomposition of N2O. Moreover, addition of small amounts of Ce02 improved the catalytic activity signif- icantly and made the decomposition temperatures at which the N2O conversion was 50% and 90% （T50 and Tgo） both decreased 80 ℃ than those of Co-M-Al catalysts without CeO2 added. Further, potassium-load also promoted the catalytic activity, and the decomposi- tion temperatures of T50 and T90 both decreased approximately 50 ℃. It is significant for decomposing N2O from industries and reducing carbon emission from atmosphere.展开更多

It is found that there is a metal semiconductor interaction (MScI) in the Ni Ce catalyst, and the effect of MScI on the carbon deposition of CH 4 decomposition is opposite to that of C 2H 4. A novel model of carbon deposition of CH 4 or C 2H 4 decomposition was proposed.展开更多

Their differences in the structures, specific areas and particle sizes were characterized by XRD, BET and TEM, respectively. Furthermore, their catalytic activities for the hydrogen iodide （HI） decomposition were evaluated in a fixed bed reactor. The results show that the catalyst 5%Pt/Al2O3 prepared by the electroless plating has the optimum catalytic properties for HI decomposition owing to the high dispersion of the platinum nano-particles （〈5 nm） on the alumina supports.展开更多

Consequently, several experiments were carried out by using MnO2 as a catalyst for the decomposition of H2O2 in a concentration series under certain concentrations of silicates. The silicates were analyzed by using a molybdenum blue colorimetric method. The results showed that the determination of silicates was inhibited by H2O2, whose inhibitory effect was greatly increased by increasing its concentration, but not limited by pH. SEM-EDX （scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry） results showed that the adsorption of silicates onto the surface of MnO2 was not purely via a structural rearrangement, with increasing Mn atoms protruding on the outer surface by covering oxygen and silicon atoms. XRD （X-ray diffraction） and FTIR （Fourier transform infrared） spectra results further revealed no significant total crystal structural changes in MnO2 after the adsorption of silicates, but only a small shift of 0.21° at 2e from 56.36° to 56.15° , and a FTIR vibration showed at around 1 050 cm-1. The results, therefore, showed that silicate adsorption onto MnO2 took place via both surface adsorption and structural rearrangement by interfacial reaction.展开更多
