文摘A series of Co–Cr–O mixed oxides with different Co/Cr molar ratios are synthesized and tested for the total oxidation of propane.The reaction behaviors are closely related to the structural features of the mixed oxides.The catalyst with a Co/Cr molar ratio of 1:2(1 Co2 Cr)and a spinel structure has the best activity(with a reaction rate of 1.38μmol g^–1 s^–1 at 250℃),which is attributed to the synergistic roles of its high surface acidity and good low-temperature reducibility,as evidenced by the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,reduction of hydrogen,and surface reaction of propane.Kinetic study shows that the reaction orders of propane and oxygen on the 1 Co2 Cr catalyst(0.58±0.03 and 0.34±0.05,respectively)are lower than those on the 2 Co1 Cr catalyst(0.77±0.02 and 0.98±0.16,respectively)and 1 Co5 Cr(0.66±0.05 and 1.30±0.11,respectively),indicating that the coverages of propane and oxygen on 1 Co2 Cr are higher than those on the other catalysts due to its higher surface acidity and higher reducibility.In addition,in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopic investigation reveals that the main surface species on 1 Co2 Cr during the reaction are polydentate carbonate species,which accumulate on the surface at low temperatures(<250℃)but decompose at relatively high temperatures.
