Catalysts based on zirconia- and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (15 wt % W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 wt % Pt) were selected to study the influence of the reduction temperature and the nature of the support on the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane. The reduction temperature has a major influence on metal dispersion, which impacts the catalytic activity. In addition, alumina and zirconia supports show different catalytic properties (mainly acid site strength and surface area), which play an important role in the conversion. The NH3-TPD profiles indicate that the acidity in alumina-based catalysts is clearly higher than that in their zirconia counterparts; this acidity can be attributed to a stronger interaction of the WOx species with alumina. The PtW/Al catalyst was found to exhibit the best catalytic performance for the hydroisomerization of n-dodecane based on its higher acidity, which was ascribed to its larger surface area relative to that of its zirconia counterparts. The selectivity for different hydrocarbons (C7–10, C11 and i-C12) was very similar for all the catalysts studied, with branched C12 hydrocarbons being the main products obtained (~80%). The temperature of 350 °C was clearly the best reduction temperature for all the catalysts studied in a trickled-bed-mode reactor.

The improvement of methane combustion activity was observed in cyclic temperature-programed and isothermal reactions over Pd/ZrO2 catalysts by simple reduction/reoxidation treatment. The catalytic activity increased during the initial stages of isothermal reaction, and the light-off temperature was lowered as the number of cycles increased in the cyclic temperature-programed reaction. To reveal the origin of activation, variations in the reduction properties after the activation period were carefully investigated through CH4 temperature-programed reduction (TPR) measurements. From the CH4-TPR results, it was confirmed that the reduction temperature decreased significantly after activation. The observation of the CH4-TPR peak at relatively low temperatures is directly proportional to the catalytic activity of CH4 combustion. It was therefore concluded that repeated reduction/reoxidation occurred in the reactant stream, and this phenomenon allowed the combustion reaction to proceed more easily at lower temperatures.

Various Ni catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 were prepared by a wet impregnation (WI) method and deposition-precipitation (DP) method with different precipitants and applied to CO and CO2 methanation. The prepared catalysts were characterized by various techniques including nitrogen physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction with H2 (H2-TPR), H2 chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Irrespective of kinds of precipitant, the Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts prepared with a DP method showed a remarkable enhanced catalytic performance in CO and CO2 methanation compared with the Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared with a WI method owing to the higher catalytic active surface area (CASA). In the case of Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts prepared with a DP method, the high calcination temperatures are not favorable for the high catalytic activity due to the decreased reduction degree of Ni oxide species and CASA. The reduction degree of Ni oxide species can be increased with reduction temperature. However, the higher reduction temperature above 500 °C is not desirable to achieve the high catalytic activity because of the decreased CASA. The selective CO methanation was also accomplished at lower temperatures over the Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared with a DP method than over the Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared with a WI method.

Using SBA-15 molecular sieve as the support, Cu/SBA-15 and Cu-ZnO/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared by grinding and impregnation. They were characterized by XRD, TEM, TPR and nitrogen adsorption/desorption methods. Their catalytic activities of the dehydrogenation of methanol to methyl formate (MF) were studied and compared.The results indicated that the Cu and ZnO in the catalysts prepared by grinding had a worse dispersity than that prepared by impregnation. However, the reduction temperature of the CuO in the catalysts prepared by grinding was obviously lower than that prepared by impregnation and the selectivity to MF can be improved with the adding of ZnO. The experiments showed that the methanol conversion rate and selectivity to MF were 15.23% and 79.81% at 270°C for Cu-ZnO/SBA-15-G prepared by grinding, respectively. For Cu-ZnO/SBA-15-I prepared by impregnation, the methanol conversion rate and selectivity to MF were 13.41 % and 81.31% respectively.

In this study, mixed oxides of Mn-Cu and Fe-Cu on OMS-2 support having an octahedral structure were synthesized by the refluxing and impregnation methods. The characteristics of the materials were analyzed by XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDX, and H2-TPR. In the CO oxidation test, CuFeOx/OMS-2 had slightly higher catalytic activity but is significantly more stable than CuMnOx/OMS-2 and CuO/OMS-2. Due to its lower reduction temperature in H2-TPR analysis, the Mars-Van-Krevelen mechanism for CuFeOx/OMS-2 (Cu2+–O–Fe3+ ↔ Cu+–□–Fe2+) could take place more energetically than CuO/OMS-2 and CuMnOx/OMS-2 (Cu2+–O2−–Mn4+ ↔ Cu+–□–Mn3+). In addition, the interaction between Fe and Cu in the catalyst could improve the durability of the surface oxides structure in comparison with that between Mn and Cu. With the high specific rate and TOF of 28.6 mmol/h.g and 0.508, respectively, CuFeOx/OMS-2 has a great potential as an effective catalyst for low-temperature oxidation application in CO and possible VOCs removal.
