Ce x Ti 1- x O 2 mixed oxides of different mole ratios ( x =0, 0.1, 0.2~0.9, 1.0) were prepared by co precipitation of TiCl 4 with Ce(NO 3) 3 and then loaded with different amounts of CuO.

The effects of CuO on NO+CO reaction were investigated, and the structure and reductive properties of various CuO/Ce x Ti 1- x O 2 were characterized by the methodologies of BET, TPR and XRD. The results show that different Ce/Ti mole ratios and calcination temperatures induce changes of structure and reductive properties of the Ce x Ti 1- x O 2 mixed oxides. When x =0.1~0.5, amorphous CeTi 2O 6 phase mainly forms at 650 ℃ compared to the formation of CeTi 2O 6 which crystallizes at 800 ℃. When x >0.6, some TiO 2 enters the CeO 2 lattice and a CeO 2 TiO 2 solid solution is formed. The activity of 6%CuO/Ce x Ti 1- x O 2 calcined at 650 ℃ is largely affected by the x values, which is the highest when x =0.3, 0.4 and 0.9. The NO conversion reaches 70% at a reaction temperature of 150 ℃. By comparison, the x values have little effect on the activity of 6%CuO/Ce x Ti 1- x O 2 calcined at 800 ℃ . There are strong interactions between CuO and CeTi 2O 6, i.e., formation of the CeTi 2O 6 phase shifts the CuO reduction peak temperature from 380 to 200 ℃, and CuO, in turn, shifts the CeTi 2O 6 reduction peak temperature from 600 to 300 ℃.展开更多

The effect of synthesis conditions, such as synthesis temperature and the molar ratio of PEG-4000/([ Ce] + [ Zr] ), on specific surface area were investigated. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, respectively. The results showed that synthesis temperature and the molar ratio of PEG-4000/([ Ce] + [ Zr] ) had great influence on specific surface area. Under the optimum synthesis conditions, the prepared Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 mixed oxide presented cubic fluorite-type structure and possessed high surface area of 148.6 m2·g^-1 with wormlike pores.展开更多

When x=0.9, only a cubic phase CeO2 is observed. When x=0.5, the compound was combined by Pr6O11 and CeO2 mixed oxides. For CexPr1-xO2-δ (x=0.5, 0.9)samples 465 cm-1 Raman peak is attributed to the Raman active F2g mode of CeO2. The broad peak at about 570 cm-1 can be linked to lattice defects resulting in oxygen vacancies. The crystallite size of the samples increased as increasing the calcined temperature. But the increased value of Ce0.9Pr0.1O2-δ and Ce0.5Pr0.5O2-δ is smaller than single CeO2 and Pr6O11 obviously. It reveals that the insertion of Pr atom into the ceria lattice could enhance the sintering resistance and thermal stability of the mixed oxides. Calcination temperatures had great effect on the peak intensity for CeO2 but less effect on Ce0.8Pr0.2O2-δ in Raman spectra, and it may be caused by the colors transformation of the mixed oxides. The result of O2-TPD experiment indicates that the formation of solid solution has elevation the stabilization and thermal stability of the mixed oxides.展开更多

It is found that the characteristics of the rate of CO_2 formation r versus substrate temperature T are dependent on the ratio P=P_(CO)/P_(O2) in the mixed beam. These characteristics are related to the complicated interactions of co-adsorbed CO and O particles on Pd surface.展开更多

The textural properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, UV-Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The surface acidity and the redox properties were characterized by ammonia temperature-programmed desorption and H2 temperature-programmed reduction, respectively. The results show that the addition of a proper amount of(Ce,Cr)xO2 over Nb2O5 significantly improves the intrinsic catalytic activity towards the deep oxidation of DCE, and only a very small amount of C2H3Cl is detected as the byproduct of the oxidation process. Further study reveals the existence of an obvious synergistic effect between Nb2O5, with abundant strong acid sites, and(Ce,Cr)xO2, with strong oxidation sites, as the strong acid sites of Nb2O5 promote the adsorption and dehydrochlorination of DCE, while the strong oxidation sites of(Ce,Cr)xO2 contribute to the deep oxidation of the reactant, intermediates, and byproducts.展开更多

The results show that (Ce-Zr-La-Pr)O can enhance the catalysts light-off characteristics, widen A/F windows and increase catalytic conversions at a certain extent through optimizing physical structural and chemical property of the mixed coating. However, (Ce-Zr-La-Pr)O contents influence greatly on the catalysts activities and durability, and the catalysts with contents ranging from 10% to 30% exhibited better integrative properties in all samples, and 10% was the optical content to make the catalyst performance highest in this thesis. It is indicated that an suitable content of (Ce-Zr-La-Pr)O plays an important role in assisting catalysis, enhancing durability and increasing oxygen storage capability.展开更多

Properties such as bulk density, porosity, modulus of rupture, crushing strength and hot modulus of rupture as a function of aluminium addition were investigated in the present work. The microstructure and thermodynamics for the heat treated specimens were also analyzed. The results show that as aluminium addition increasing, the bulk density of the specimen treated at 220℃ tends to decrease and the apparent porosity increases, the strength of the specimens treated at 1100℃ and 1450℃ increases markedly, the bulk density tends to increase, apparent porosity and linear shrinkage decrease. The HMOR at 1400℃ is enhanced from 1.0 MPa to 3.5 MPa with 3% aluminium. Aluminium is served as sintering agent and anti-oxidant and it will react with CO and CO2 forming Al2O3 , which is helpful to enhance the strength, densify the structure and improve the overall properties.展开更多

Potential of the catalysts in the soot oxidation was evaluated in a temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) apparatus. The results showed that all the Fe3+ and Zr4+ were incor- porated into ceria lattice to form a pure Ce-Fe-Zr-O solid solution for the co-precipitation sample, but two kinds of Fe phases ex- isted in the Ce-Fe-Zr-O catalysts prepared by other methods: Fe3+ incorporated into CeO2 lattice and dispersed Fe2O3 clusters. The free Fe2O3 clusters could improve the activity of catalysts for soot oxidation comparing with the pure Ce-Fe-Zr-O solid solution owing to the synergetic effect between free Fe2O3 and surface oxygen vacancies. In addition, the activity of catalysts strongly relied on the surface reducibility of free Fe2O3 particles. Holding both abundant free Fe2O3 particles and high oxygen vacancy concentration, the hydrothermal Ce0.5Fe0.3Zr0.202 catalyst presented the lowest Ti (251℃, ignition temperature of soot oxidation) and Tm (310 ℃, maximum oxidation rate temperature) for soot combustion (with tight-contact between soot and catalysts) among the five samples. Even after aging at 800 ℃ for 10 h, the Ti and Tm were still relatively low, at 273 and 361 ℃, respectively, indicating high catalytic stability.展开更多

There are strong interactions between CuO and CeTi 2O 6, i.e., formation of the CeTi 2O 6 phase shifts the CuO reduction peak temperature from 380 to 200 ℃, and CuO, in turn, shifts the CeTi 2O 6 reduction peak temperature from 600 to 300 ℃.
