In this work, the catalyst, whose activity increases with the reaction temperature and pressure, was studied at calcined, reduced, and reacted conditions. TEM and EDX images for the calcined and reduced catalysts showed that copper was distributed uniformly at both conditions. TPR profile revealed two reduction peaks at 165 and 195 °C for copper species in the calcined catalyst. QXAFS results demonstrated that the calcined form consisted mainly of a mixed Cu O and Zn O, and it was progressively transformed into Cu metal particles and dispersed Zn O species as the reduction treatment. It was demonstrated that activation of the catalyst precursor occurred via a Cu^+intermediate, and the active catalyst predominantly consisted of metallic Cu and Zn O evenunder higher pressures. Structure of the active catalyst did not change with the temperature or pressure, indicating that the role of the Zn was mainly to improve Cu dispersion.This indicates the potential of QXAFS method in studying the structure evolutions of catalysts in methanol synthesis.展开更多

The catalytic properties and characterization of CeO2, CuO/CeO2 and Cu/CeO2 catalysts were examined by means of a microreactor-GC system, HRTEM, XRD, TPR and XPS techniques. The results show that CuO has not catalytic activity and the activity of CeO2 is quite low for CO oxidation. However, the catalytic activity of CuO/CeO2 and Cu/ CeO2 catalysts increases significantly. Furthermore, the activity of CuO/CeO2 is higher than that of Cu/CeO2 catalysts.展开更多

The samples were characterized by means of TG-DTA, XRD, H2-TPR and XPS. The catalytic activity of the CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalysts was markedly depended on the loading of CuO, and the optimum CuO loading was 8 wt.% （Tloo = 80 ℃）. The CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity than the CuO/TiO2 and CuO/SnO2 catalysts. H2-TPR result indicated that a large amount of CuO formed the active site for CO oxidation in 8 wt.% CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalyst.展开更多
The CuO/γ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst, after being sulfated by sulfur dioxide (SO2) at 673 K, exhibits high activities for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxide (NO) with ammonia (NH3) at 573-723 K.

The intrinsic kinetics of SCR of NO with NH3 over CuO/γ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst has been measured in a fixed-bed reactor in the absence of internal and external diffusions. The experimental results show that the reaction rate can be quantified by a first-order expression with activation energy Eá of 94.01 kJ·mol-1 and the corresponding p re-exponential factor A′ of 3.39×108 cm3·g-1·s-1 when NH3 is excessive. However, when NH3 is not enough, an E ley-Rideal kinetic model based on experimental data is derived with Ea of 105.79 kJ·mol-1, the corresponding A of 2 .94×109 cm3·g-1·s-1, heat of adsorption-Hads of 87.90 kJ·mol-1 and the corresponding Aads of 9.24 cm3·mol-1. The intrinsic kinetic model obtained was incorporated in a 3D mathematical model of monolithic reactor, and the agreement of the prediction with experimental data indicates that the present kinetic model is adequate for the reac-tor design and engineering scale-up.展开更多

In comparison with the samples prepared with CuO as initial support, the samples with Cu（OH）2 as initial support have higher reducibilities and smaller relative TPR peak areas, and also larger specific surface areas at calcina- tion temperatures of 400 ℃--600 ℃. As a result, Cu（OH）2 is better than CuO as initial support for preferential oxidation of CO in excess H2 （CO-PROX）. The best catalytic performance was achieved on the sample calcined at 600 ℃ and with an atomic ratio of Ce/Cu at 40%. XPS analyses indicate that more interface linkages Ce-O-Cu could be formed when it was calcined at 600 ℃. And the atomic ratio of Ce/Cu at 40% led to a proper reducibility for the sample as illustrated by the TPR measurements.展开更多

The results show that either CuO or CeO 2 ac tivity is quite low for CO oxidation. However, when CuO and CeO 2 are mixed, the oxidative activity of the catalyst increases significantly, probably owing to the valency status of copper species (Cu 2+ and Cu+) on the CeO 2 surfa ce, the dispersion and reducibility. XPS surface analysis shows that CuO loading is very important in forming of either Cu 2+ or Cu+. Rietveld analysis s hows that some CuO, which has smaller ion radius than Ce 4+, enters the Ce O 2 lattice after CuO and CeO 2 are mixed. When the CuO loading reaches 5.0%, the size of CuO crystals is a minimum (6.1 nm) and the micro-strain value i s a maximum (2.86×10 -3), resulting in high surface energy and the best ac tivity for CO oxidation.展开更多

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

Furthermore, the prepared CeO2 was used as the support to prepare CuO/CeO2 catalysts via the wet impregnation method. The samples were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, and temperatureprogrammed reduction by H2 （H2-TPR）. The catalytic properties of the CuO/CeO2 catalysts for lowtemperature CO oxidation were studied using a microreactor-GC system. The crystal size of CeO2-A was much smaller than that of CeO2-B, and the corresponding copper oxide catalysts exhibited higher catalytic activity than that of the CeO2-B-supported catalysts under the same reaction conditions. The alcohothermal mechanism indicated that KOH plays a key role in determining the physicochemical and catalytic properties of ceria-based materials.展开更多

A single-step co-precipitation method was used for preparation of a series of yttrium doped CuO/CeO2 catalysts with yttrium content in the range of 0-5wt.%. Properties of the obtained samples were characterized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy, H2-TPR, cyclic voltammetry （CV） and the BET method. The results revealed that catalytic activity was increased with the yttrium content at first, but then decreased with the further increase of yttrium content. Herein, CuO/CeO2 catalyst doped with 2wt.% of yttrium showed the highest catalytic activity （CO conversion reaches 93.4% at 250 ℃） and thermal stability for WGS reaction. The catalytic activity was correlated with the surface area, the area of peak γ of H2-TPR profile （i.e., the reduction of surface copper oxide （crystalline forms） interacted with surface oxygen vacancies on ceria）, and the area of peak C2 and A1 （Cu^0→←Cu^2＋ in cyclic voltammetry process）, respectively. Besides, Raman spectra provided evidences for a synergistic Cu-Ovacancy interaction, and it was indicated that doping yttrium may facilitate the formation of oxygen vacancies on ceria.展开更多

The result shows that the right amount of Sm 2O 3 can promote the adsorption of the surface oxygen and recovery of CuO γ Al 2O 3 catalyst. Sm 2O 3 plays an important role in change of γ Al 2O 3 phase into θ Al 2O 3 phase. In addition, the right amount of Sm 2O 3(5%) can improve the oxidation activity of the CuO γ Al 2O 3 catalyst. Whereas an excess of Sm 2O 3(10%) makes the CuO crystal in CuO γ Al 2O 3 catalyst become bigger and restrain the oxidation activity of the CuO γ Al 2O 3 catalyst.展开更多

Using a simple ball-milling method and CeO_(2) support, we prepared a high-performance CuO-ZnO-P-Sn/CeO_(2) catalyst by integrating highly dispersed multicomponent promoters of ZnO, Sn, and P with the active component CuO. This catalyst shows a significantly enhanced dimethyldichlorosilane selectivity because these promoters can substantially increase the Cu+ content and the formation of an active CuxSi phase. This work provides a new approach to efficiently designing Cu-based catalysts for the Rochow-Müller reaction.展开更多

文摘The size of the nanoparticles and the number of oxygen vacancies have a significant effect on the catalytic activity of copper-based catalysts used for the synthesis of methanol from syngas.In this study,the authors prepared a series of catalysts CuO/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3)/CeO_(2)(CZAC)with CuO particles of different sizes and varying number of oxygen vacancies on the surface by changing the added volume of CeO2 by using the co-precipitation method.The properties of the catalysts were characterized and their activity was evaluated by using high-pressure fixed-bed reaction equipment.The results showed that the addition of CeO_(2)to CuO/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3)not only influenced the size of the CuO particles and metal-metal interactions,but also had an effect on the concentrations of oxygen vacancies and strongly basic sites.The presence of CuO particles of small sizes and a large numbers of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the catalyst were beneficial to its activity for the synthesis of methanol.The catalyst CZAC,when modified by 5%of CeO_(2),recorded CuO particles of the smallest size(8.9 nm),strong intermetallic interactions,and the highest concentrations of oxygen vacancies and strongly basic sites.It also exhibited the highest catalytic activity,with a space-time yield of methanol of 0.315 g/(h·g)that was higher than that of the enterprise RK-5 catalyst[0.215 g/(h·g)].

文摘Developing an efficiently supported Cu-based catalyst with promoters to substitute the existing non-supported Cu-based catalysts is highly desirable to the Rochow-Müller reaction. Using a simple ball-milling method and CeO_(2) support, we prepared a high-performance CuO-ZnO-P-Sn/CeO_(2) catalyst by integrating highly dispersed multicomponent promoters of ZnO, Sn, and P with the active component CuO. This catalyst shows a significantly enhanced dimethyldichlorosilane selectivity because these promoters can substantially increase the Cu+ content and the formation of an active CuxSi phase. This work provides a new approach to efficiently designing Cu-based catalysts for the Rochow-Müller reaction.
