KCoMoS2 was supported on various carbon support materials to study the support effect on synthesis gas conversion. Next to two activated carbons with high micropore volume, a traditional alumina (γ-Al2O3) support and its carbon coated form (CCA) were studied for comparison. Coating alumina with carbon increases the selectivity to alcohols, but the AC-supported catalysts show even higher alcohol selectivities and yields, especially at higher temperatures where the conversions over the AC-supported catalysts increase more than those over the γ-Al2O3-based catalysts. Increasing acidity leads to decreased CO conversion yield of alcohols. The two activated-carbon-supported catalysts give the highest yield of ethanol at the highest conversion studied, which seems to be due to increased KCoMoS2 stacking and possibly to the presence of micropores and low amount of mesopores.

Reaction pathways for higher alcohol synthesis from syngas are studied over K/MoS2 domains supported on mesoporous carbon (C) and mixed MgAl oxide (MMO) via addition of methanol, ethanol, and ethylene co-feeds.

Activated carbons are generally used as support materials for precious metal catalysts. Properties of carbon that are important to catalyst preparation and application include composition, surface area, microstructure and pore shape and size distribution. Macropores (> 50 nm), mesopores (2-50 nm) and micropores (<2 nm) generally coexist in activated carbons. The accessibility of metal particles dispersed in microporous systems is of predominant importance, especially for large molecules that exhibit slow diffusion transport in narrow pores. It is desirable to have metal particles highly dispersed in readily accessible locations. As part of an on-going program of the characterization of carbonsupported catalysts we report some preliminary observations of the microstructure of carbon supports by a variety of electron microscopy techniquesCommercial carbon supports and carbon-supported Pt catalysts were used in this study. High resolution secondary electron (SE) microscopy, low voltage backscattered electron (LVBE) microscopy and high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) microscopy techniques were employed to extract surface and structural information.

We present an efficient strategy for synthesising the PdAu catalysts with a homogeneous PdAu alloy phase for environmentally important hydrodechlorination of tetrachloromethane in the gas phase. The synthesis of carbon-supported catalysts involved two major steps: (i) incorporation of palladium and gold nanoparticles into carbon support and (ii) activation of the catalysts. The critical part of this work was to find the optimal conditions for both steps. Thus, the incorporation of the nanoparticles was carried out in two ways, by impregnation and direct redox reaction method using acetone solutions of metal precursor salts. The activation was performed either by a conventional thermal reduction in hydrogen or flash irradiation in a microwave oven. The homogeneity and structure of the PdAu alloy were found to depend on the catalyst activation method critically. In all cases, we observed better homogeneity for catalysts that were subject to microwave irradiation. Moreover, the flash microwave irradiation of prepared catalysts provided catalysts of better stability and selectivity towards the desired products (hydrocarbons) in the hydrodechlorination of tetrachloromethane as compared to the catalyst obtained by conventional thermal activation in hydrogen.
