Copper promoted cobalt and nickel catalysts supported on ceria−alumina mixed oxide / Benjaram M. Reddy in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 18 (Septembre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N° 18 (Septembre 2009) . - pp. 8478–8486 Titre : Copper promoted cobalt and nickel catalysts supported on ceria−alumina mixed oxide : structural characterization and CO oxidation activity Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Benjaram M. Reddy, Auteur ; Komateedi N. Rao, Auteur ; Pankaj Bharali, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 8478–8486 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : CoO,  NiO,  CuO−CoO  CuO−NiO  nanocrystalline  Catalytic  activity Résumé : Catalytic activity of CoO, NiO, CuO−CoO, and CuO−NiO nanocrystalline mono- and bimetallic catalysts over a thermally stable and high surface area ceria−alumina mixed oxide support was evaluated for oxidation of carbon monoxide at normal atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures. The content of Co or Ni in the respective monometallic catalysts was 10 wt % and the Cu-promoted samples contained 5 wt % each. These catalysts were prepared by a wet impregnation procedure and the CeO2−Al2O3 support was obtained by a deposition precipitation method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by BET surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. XRD patterns of 773 K calcined samples revealed the presence of metal oxide phases, namely, CeO2, CuO, NiO, and Co3O4 in the respective catalysts. However, after calcination at 1073 K, the XRD lines corresponding to CuO and NiO were absent. EDX results confirmed the actual amount of metal loadings in the respective catalysts. The H2-TPR results suggested that Cu-doping accelerates and decreases the onset reduction temperature of monometallic samples. Raman results of 773 K calcined samples showed a prominent broad peak at 461 cm−1 corresponding to the F2g Raman active mode of CeO2. The TEM studies confirmed the presence of nanosized composite oxides with narrow size distribution of metal oxide particles. The XPS results disclosed the presence of Cu1+ species along with Cu2+ and the promotional effect of Cu in Co-containing samples to suppress the formation of the CoAl2O4 phase. Among different catalysts, the copper promoted CuO−NiO/CeO2−Al2O3 sample exhibited better activity for CO oxidation at lower temperatures. The better activity of the catalyst is attributed to the formation of well-dispersed and highly reducible metal oxide species over the mixed oxide support.

Structural characterization and catalytic evaluation of supported copper – ceria catalysts for soot oxidation / Komateedi N. Rao in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 50 N° 21 (Novembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 50 N° 21 (Novembre 2011) . - pp. 11960–11969 Titre : Structural characterization and catalytic evaluation of supported copper – ceria catalysts for soot oxidation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Komateedi N. Rao, Auteur ; P. Venkataswamy, Auteur ; Benjaram M. Reddy, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 11960–11969 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Soot  oxidation  catalyst Résumé : The present investigation was undertaken with the aim of designing a noble-metal-free diesel soot oxidation catalyst that can work at relatively low temperatures. Accordingly, a series CeO2–Al2O3, CeO2–ZrO2, and CeO2–SiO2 mixed-oxide-supported copper catalysts were prepared by a modified deposition–precipitation method from ultradilute aqueous solutions and evaluated for soot oxidation at normal atmospheric pressure. The structural and electronic properties were investigated by various physicochemical techniques, namely, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-programmed reduction–oxidation (TPR–TPO), temperature-programmed mass spectroscopy (TP-MS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Formation of a Ce1–xCuxO2 solid solution was inferred from XRD, TPR, and Raman spectroscopy studies. The TEM results revealed the presence of copper–ceria nano-oxides of 5–7-nm size in highly dispersed form. The TPR–TPO results suggested a profound influence of mixed-oxide supports on the reduction behavior of copper oxide. In particular, the TP-MS results provided direct evidence for labile oxygen generation. Among the investigated catalysts, the CuO/CeO2–ZrO2 combination exhibited excellent catalytic activity for soot oxidation, with T1/2 = 611 K. Incorporation of Cu2+ into the ceria–zirconia solid solution favored the creation of more structural defects, which accelerate the oxygen diffusion and induce more of the surface-active oxygen species that are responsible for the enhanced soot oxidation activity at lower temperatures.
