Supported Co–Mo nitride catalysts have been synthesized by incipient-wetness impregnation method and temperature-programmed reaction in N2-H2 mixed gases. The effect of support types, namely carbon nanotubes(CNTs), active carbon(AC), 5A zeolite and Al2O3 on the properties of the prepared catalysts for ammonia decomposition has been investigated by XRD, H2–TPR and SEM techniques. The results showed that CNTs was the optimum support for Co–Mo nitride catalyst. At 550 , NH3 conversions over CoMoNx/AC, CoMoNx/Al2O3 and CoMoNx/5A Zeolite catalysts were only 14.7%, 65.4% and 68.7%, respectively, while NH3 conversion over CoMoNx/CNTs catalyst was up to 84.4%. XRD and H2–TPR results indicated that the active species consist of CoMoO4, MoO3, γ-Mo2N and Co3Mo3N crystallites, which can be reduced at elevated temperatures at H2 atmosphere. The SEM characterization demonstrated that Co-Mo nitrides particles disperse uniformly on the CNTs.

Among the zeolitic catalysts for the ethylene-to-propylene (ETP) reaction, the SSZ-13 zeolite shows the highest catalytic activity based on both its suitable pore architecture and tunable acidity. In this study, in order to improve the propylene selectivity further, the surface of the SSZ-13 zeolite was modified with various amounts of tungsten oxide ranging from 1 wt% to 15 wt% via a simple incipient wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalysts were characterized with several analysis techniques, specifically, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen (H2-TPR), temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and N2 sorption, and their catalytic activities were investigated in a fixed-bed reactor system. The tungsten oxide-modified SSZ-13 catalysts demonstrated significantly improved propylene selectivity and yield compared to the parent H-SSZ-13 catalyst. For the tungsten oxide loading, 10 wt% loading showed the highest propylene yield of 64.9 wt%, which was 6.5 wt% higher than the pristine H-SSZ-13 catalyst. This can be related to not only the milder and decreased strong acid sites but also the diffusion restriction of bulky byproducts, as supported by scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS) observation.

Abstract The Friedel-Crafts acylation of furan with acetic anhydride to produce 2-acyl furan is industrially important. With an aim of replacing the highly polluting process, it this study, supported but modified heteropoly acids were used. Metal exchanged dodecatungstophosphoric acid (DTP) was loaded on three different supports and its effect on acylation was evaluated. Thus, chromium exchanged DTP was supported on K-10, SiO2, and ZrO2 using the incipient wetness impregnation method. 20% w/w Cr0.66-DTP/K-10 having the best activity for the acylation of furan with acetic anhydride was chosen for full characterization and reaction kinetics. Under optimized condition, the catalyst to furan ratio was 9.6%, significantly less as per prior art, which gave 88% conversion with 100% selectivity. The prepared catalysts were characterized by sophisticated techniques, namely, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, NH3-TPD, TGA, and BET. The Eley-Rideal mechanism was found to fit the kinetic data. The activation energy was found to be 18.03 kcal/mol. The reaction is green and clean as no chlorinated chemicals, reagents, and catalysts were used.

In this study, the de-NOx performance of Cu-based zeolite catalysts supported on topological structure (SSZ-13, BEA, ZSM-5) and loaded with different doses of copper (from 2 to 6 wt.%) was investigated. The preparation of copper-based catalysts adopted the incipient wetness impregnation method. To analyze the physicochemical properties of the catalysts, advanced techniques like BET, XRD, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, and DRS UV-Vis were used. The performance tests suggested the 4Cu/SSZ-13 catalyst exhibited higher low-temperature activity and wider temperature window. Furthermore, compared with Mn-Cu/SSZ-13, the Ce-Cu/SSZ-13 catalysts exhibited better de-NOx performance.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil is a method of bio-oil upgrading. In this paper, x%CeO2–Ni–Cu/HZSM-5 (x = 5, 15, and 20) was synthesized as an HDO catalyst by the co-impregnation method. The HDO performances of x%CeO2–Ni–Cu/HZSM-5 (x = 5, 15, and 20) in the reaction process was evaluated and compared with Ni–Cu/HZSM-5 by the property and the yield of upgrading oil. The difference of the chemical composition between bio-oil and upgrading oil was evaluated by GC-MS. The results showed that the addition of CeO2 decreased the water and oxygen contents of upgrading oil, increased the high heating value, reduced acid content, and increased hydrocarbon content. When the CeO2 addition was 15%, the yield of upgrading reached the maximum, from 33.9 wt% (Ni–Cu/HZSM-5) to 47.6 wt% (15%CeO2–Ni–Cu/HZSM-5). The catalytic activities of x%CeO2–Ni–Cu/HZSM-5 (x = 5, 15, and 20) and Ni–Cu/HZSM-5 were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, NH3-Temperature-Programmed Desorption, H2-Temperature-Programmed Reaction, TEM, and XPS. The results showed that the addition of CeO2 increased the dispersion of active metal Ni, reduced the bond between the active metal and the catalyst support, increased the ratio of Bronsted acid to total acids, and decreased the reduction temperature of NiO. When the CeO2 addition was 15%, the activity of catalyst reached the best. Finally, the carbon deposition resistance of deactivated catalysts was investigated by a Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and the results showed that the addition of CeO2 could improve the carbon deposition resistance of catalysts. When the CeO2 addition was 15%, the coke deposition decreased from 41 wt% (Ni–Cu/HZSM-5) to 14 wt% (15%CeO2–Ni–Cu/HZSM-5).

In this study, a series of novel nickel catalysts supported on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Ni/rGO) with Ni loadings of 10, 15 and 20 wt% were successfully synthesized via the incipient wetness impregnation method. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts and rGO support were thoroughly characterized by thermogravimetric analyser, X-ray diffraction, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, temperature programmed reduction, temperature programmed CO2 desorption and field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The properties of the catalysts are correlated to its catalytic activity for CO2 methanation which were investigated using three-phase slurry reactor at low temperature and pressure of 240 °C and 10 bar, respectively. Among the three catalysts of different Ni loading, Ni15/rGO shows the highest activity of 51% conversion of CO2 with total selectivity towards CH4. N2-physisorption and CO2-TPD analysis suggest that high catalytic performance of Ni15/rGO is attributed to the high surface area, strong basic sites and special support effect of rGO in anchoring the active metal.

A series of cobalt-molybdenum nitride catalysts were prepared using Co-Mo oxide precursors via temperature-programmed reaction in N2-H2 mixed gases. The catalysts were characterized by N2 physical adsorption, X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed desorption of H2. Their catalytic performance was evaluated in the model reaction of ammonia decomposition. The influence of the final nitriding temperatures on the surface properties and the catalytic perfomance of CoMoNx/CNTs were described. The catalyst nitrided at 650°C shows the best catalytic performance. The results indicated that a suitable final nitriding temperature contributes directly to the formation of nitrides and favor the catalyst activity.

Barium oxide was introduced to modify Palladium catalysts supported on CeO2–ZrO2-La2O3-Al2O3 (CZLA) by impregnation and co-precipitation. methods. Various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of BaO-modified Pd-only catalyst. Catalytic activity for methanol, CO, C3H8 and NO conversions showed that BaO-modified catalyst prepared by impregnation method exhibited the best performance for methanol, C3H8 and NO removals, while the catalyst prepared by co-precipitation method was in favor of CO oxidation. Combined with the results of XRD, H2-TPR and XPS, it is concluded that the co-existence of PdO and Pd-O-Ce active species by impregnation played an important role in the methanol, C3H8 and NO removals, while the higher dispersion of palladium and improved reducibility were mostly favorable to the CO oxidation. The conversion of NO was co-effected by tow active species and the formation of Ba2AlLaO5 mixed oxide.

A series of Ni–Fe/MCM-41 bimetallic catalysts and also Ni/MCM-41 and Fe/MCM-41 catalysts were prepared by the incipient-wetness impregnation method and tested for their activity for CO methanation in a continuous-flow microreactor. The results showed that the catalytic activities of the Ni–Fe/MCM-41 bimetallic catalysts were much higher than those of the Ni/MCM-41 and Fe/MCM-41 catalysts at low temperatures (200°C–325°C). The 10%Ni–5%Fe/MCM-41 catalyst showed the best activity with a CO conversion of almost 100% and a CH4 selectivity of 98% at 350°C under a pressure of 1.5 MPa with a 3:1 molar ratio of H2 to CO and a weight hourly space velocity of 12,000 mL h−1 g−1. The catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, and H2-temperature-programmed reduction. The results showed that the addition of Fe will lead to the formation of finer Ni particles and Ni–Fe alloy, which were the main reasons for the activity increase in the Ni–Fe/MCM-41 catalysts.

The LaBO3/HZSM-5 samples were prepared by the impregnation method. The structure of catalysts was examined by XRD. The catalytic activity for the combustion of soot particulate was evaluated by a technique of the temperature-programmed reaction. In the LaBO3/HZSM-5 catalyst, the Mn as B-site ion, the catalyst was the good candidate catalyst for the soot catalytic combustion. In the LaMnO3/HZSM-5 catalyst, the catalytic activity was tunable by changing the metal components of the perovskite-type oxide at B-site, the Fe partial substitution for Mn of LaMnO3/HZSM-5 enhanced the catalytic activity, and the combustion temperature of soot particle was lower than LaMnO3/HZSM-5 sample without substitution, corresponding Tm of 401oC and the selectivity of CO2 77.0%.
