Vanadium-molybdenum oxides supported on Al2O3, CeO2 and TiO2 were prepared by a ?wet? impregnation method, characterized using DRX, N2 adsorption, UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrical conductivity measurements and tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane. The catalytic performance in the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane at 400-550?C depended on the nature of support and on the content of VMoO species on the support. The catalysts supported on alumina were more active and selective than those supported on ceria and titania.

In this paper, the catalytic combustion of DMDS (dimethyl disulfide, CH3SSCH3) over bimetallic supported catalysts were investigated. It was confirmed that Cu/γ-Al2O3-CeO2 showed best catalytic performance among the five single-metal catalysts. Furthermore, six different metals were separately added into Cu/γ-Al2O3-CeO2 to investigate the promoting effect. The experiments revealed Pt as the most effective promoter and the the best catalytic performance was achieved as the adding amount of 0.3 wt%. The characterization results indicated that high activity and resistance to sulfur poisoning of Cu-Pt/γ-Al2O3-CeO2 could be attributed to the synergistic effect between Cu and Pt.

The catalytic performance of a commercial TiO2 was investigated towards the total oxidation of toluene. A variety of two titania supports was used in this work, shaped (pellets) and non-shaped (powder) materials. 0.5wt% Pd or Pt were impregnated onto both types of titania supports using the wet impregnation method. A decrease in the surface area of the obtained catalysts was noticed after the catalytic test, although it was still much higher than that of classical titania supports. The catalysts were tested in the total oxidation of toluene, and a major decrease in activity was noticed for Pt impregnated “shaped” supports.

γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a valuable chemical that can be used as a clean additive for automotive fuels. This compound can be produced from biomass-derived compounds. Levulinic acid (LA) is a compound that can be obtained easily from biomass and it can be transformed into GVL by dehydration and hydrogenation using metallic catalysts. In this work, catalysts of Ni (a non-noble metal) supported on a series of natural and low-cost clay-materials have been tested in the transformation of LA into GVL. Catalysts were prepared by a modified wet impregnation method using oxalic acid trying to facilitate a suitable metal dispersion. The supports employed are attapulgite and two sepiolites with different surface areas. Reaction tests have been undertaken using an aqueous medium at moderate reaction temperatures of 120 and 180 °C. Three types of experiments were undertaken: (i) without H2 source, (ii) using formic acid (FA) as hydrogen source and (iii) using Zn in order to transform water in hydrogen through the reaction Zn + H2O → ZnO + H2. The best results have been obtained combining Zn (which plays a double role as a reactant for hydrogen formation and as a catalyst) and Ni/attapulgite. Yields to GVL higher than 98% have been obtained at 180 °C in the best cases. The best catalytic performance has been related to the presence of tiny Ni particles as nickel crystallites larger than 4 nm were not present in the most efficient catalysts.

Titania nanoparticles, TiO2 were synthesized via microemulsion method prior to monometallic (Fe, Cu) or bimetallic (CuFe) incorporation using wet impregnation method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy and point of zero charge. The addition of metals, especially Cu enhanced the absorbance in the visible region. The lowest band gap was observed for the bimetallic Cu-Fe/TiO2 (2.77 eV) compared to bare TiO2 (3.05 eV). The performance of the photocatalysts for photodegradation of diisopropanolamine (DIPA) at pH 8 was determined using a batch glass reactor under simulated sunlight (980 W/m2). The best performance was displayed by Cu-Fe/TiO2 with the highest DIPA removal of 92%.

Highly ordered mesoporous materials are opening the door to new opportunities in catalysis due to their extraordinary intrinsic features. In this study, Nickel was supported on highly ordered mesoporous silica (KIT-6) by the wet impregnation method, and its performance in the hydrogenation of edible vegetable oil was compared with that of Ni/Activated carbon prepared using the same method as well as with unsupported Nickel. The degree of conversion for the 50 : 50 Ni/KIT-6 was 81%, as compared to the 29% obtained with 50 : 50 Ni/Activated carbons. The conversion was found to improve with an increase in mass of supported Nickel on KIT-6 thus 20 : 80 Ni/KIT-6 and 30 : 70 Ni/KIT-6 produced conversions of 71% and 74%, respectively. Key among the benefits of KIT-6 when used as a support material is the very high surface area, open framework of the 3D bicontinuous interconnected channels, and the well-ordered mesopores which bestow on it an advanced mass transfer characteristics.

Abstract La1-xSrxNiO3 (x= 0.0, 0.3 or 0.7) perovskite-type oxides were synthesized using the modified proteic gel method and using collagen as an organic precursor. Catalysts of La1-xSrxNiO3/Al2O3 were obtained using the wet impregnation method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area and temperature-programmed reduction. The catalysts were evaluated in the partial oxidation reaction of methane, and the levels of selectivity to CO, CO2, H2 and H2O were determined. Among the catalysts studied, the catalyst LaNiO3/Al2O3 had the highest methane conversion level (78%) and higher H2 selectivity (55%).

Abstract Copper loaded η-alumina catalysts with different copper contents have been prepared by impregnation/evaporation method. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, UV–vis, H2-TPR and evaluated in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3 and in the selective catalytic oxidation of NH3. The characterization techniques showed that the impregnation/evaporation method permits to obtain highly dispersed copper oxide species on the η-alumina surface when low amount of copper is used (1wt. % and 2 wt.%). The wet impregnation method made it possible to reach a well dispersion of the copper species on the surface of the alumina for the low copper contents Cu(1)-Al2O3 and Cu(2)-Al2O3. The latter justifies the similar behavior of Cu(1)-Al2O3) and Cu(2)-Al2O3 in the selective catalytic oxidation of NH3 where these catalysts exhibit a conversion of NH3 to N2 of the order of 100% at T > 500°C.

The Platinum catalysts on the carbon nanotubes(CNTs) supports of various diameters were prepared by wet impregnation method using H2PtCl6 precursor. The samples using 100nm, 15~20nm, 10~15nm and 5~10nm diameters of CNTs and carbon nanofibers(CNFs) are named Pt/t- CNFs, Pt/MWNTs20, Pt/MWNTs10 and Pt/MWNTs5, respectively. The effects of CNTs diameter on the Pt particle size and distribution were investigated by the means of powder XRD and TEM observation. In addition, the electro-catalytic characteristics for methanol electro-oxidation were estimated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The average size of Pt particles increases as follows; Pt/MWNTs10 < Pt/MWNTs5 < Pt/MWNTs20 < Pt/t-CNFs. The electro-catalytic characteristics of Pt/MWNTs10 and Pt/MWNTs20 are found to be superior in comparison with the others. For preparation of the most effective supported Pt catalyst, the optimum diameter of CNTs support in the range of 10-20nm, is needed.

Catalyst of Chromium (Cr) metal supported on sulfated zirconia (SZ) was prepared by wet impregnation method. This study aim to determine the optimal concentration of Cr metal that impregnated on SZ catalyst. Preparation of catalyst was conducted at different concentrations of Cr metal (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% (w/w)), impregnated on SZ catalyst, then followed by the calcinationand reduction process. Catalysts were charaterized by FTIR, XRD, XRF, SAA, TEM, and acidity test. The results showed the Cr/SZ 1% had the highest acidity value of 8.22 mmol/g which confirmed from FTIR spectra. All the crystal phase of these catalysts were in monoclinic. The specific surface area increased with the increasing of Cr metal concentration on SZ catalyst and the isotherm adsorption-desorption of N2 gas observed all the catalysts as mesoporous material. The impregnation process formed particles agglomeration.
