Cobalt modified TiO2nanotube was prepared by wet impregnation method from anodized nanotube. The microstructure and phase characteristic were studied by SEM, EDX and XRD analysis. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under UV illumination was studied. Enhanced degradation efficiency could be obtained after sodium borohydride reducing. For the samples using low concentration of CoCl2in wet impregnation process, the degradation efficiency increased with the increase of CoCl2concentration and for high concentration, the degradation efficiency decreased. With increasing the post-treatment temperature, the degradation efficiency decreased.

TiO2 nanotube was prepared by anodization method. CuO and WO3 were loaded by wet impregnation method. The microstructure, phase characteristic and photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen generation performance were studied. The annealed samples were soaked in a mixture solution containing tungstic acid and Cu (NO3)2 and then post-annealed to fabricate Cu-loaded TiO2 nanotube. The obtained samples were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD and the photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen generation under UV illumination was measured and compared.

The amount of loaded Co-Mo metal on the Y-Zeolite Ultra Stable (USY) was increased by the addition of activated carbon in the pre-impregnation process. USY modification was done by adding activated carbon to USY as much as 10 wt%. The process of adding activated carbon is carried out by three methods, i.e., grinding with sucrose binder (ACU1), without sucrose (ACU2), and conducting by ball milling (ACU3). Wet impregnation method was employed to disperse the Co and Mo, sequentially. Composites were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and surface area analyzer (SAA). Metal dispersions were observed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The FTIR suggests an interaction between USY and activated car-bon, while the XRD result indicated the none structural transformation of USY zeolite. The SAA analysis showed an increased total pore radius with the activated carbon addition. The XRF confirmed the increasing of total metals dispersion of 6.25% (ACU1); 5.48%(ACU2); 5.18% (ACU3); compare to USY origin with 3.28% metals loaded.

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.

Nowadays, one of the most important challenges that humanity faces is to find alternative ways of reducing pollutant emissions. CeO2/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 and Au/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 catalysts were prepared to efficiently transform carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) at low temperatures. The systems were prepared in a two-step process. First, Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 supports were synthesized through the hydrothermal procedure under microwave heating. Then, CeO2 was deposited on Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 using the wet impregnation method, while the incipient impregnation method was selected to deposit gold nanoparticles. The CeO2/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 and Au/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 catalysts were characterized using SEM microscopy and XRD. Furthermore, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy were used. Tests were carried out for the supported catalysts in CO oxidation, and high conversion values, nearing 100%, was observed in a temperature range of 100 to 250 °C. The results showed that the best system was the Au/Bi2Mo0.95Ru0.05O6 catalyst, with CO oxidation starting at 50 °C and reaching 100% conversion at 186 °C.
