Towards Methane Combustion Mechanism on Metal Oxides Supported Catalysts: Ceria Supported Palladium Catalysts

Synthesis of Supported Palladium Catalysts

The synthesis of supported palladium (Pd) catalysts is reviewed with emphasis on the chemistry of catalyst synthesis, oxidic and carbon support properties and case studies in the period 1990-2000. For the application of Pd onto oxidic supports aqueous precursor solutions are frequently used. The charge of the Pd precursor and the iso-electric point of the support are important properties since ...

Sintering of Supported Metal Catalysts

Influence of Different Palladium Precursors on the Properties of Solution-Combustion-Synthesized Palladium/ Ceria Catalysts for Methane Combustion

A series of Pd/CeO2 catalysts was prepared by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) using different Pd precursors. The powders were characterized by complementary techniques such as BET surface area measurements, X-Ray diffraction analysis, XRay photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed oxidation, and high-resolution TEM. The results obtained evidenced t...

Ethyl Acetate Abatement on Copper Catalysts Supported on Ceria Doped with Rare Earth Oxides.

Different lanthanide (Ln)-doped cerium oxides (Ce0.5Ln0.5O1.75, where Ln: Gd, La, Pr, Nd, Sm) were loaded with Cu (20 wt. %) and used as catalysts for the oxidation of ethyl acetate (EtOAc), a common volatile organic compound (VOC). For comparison, both Cu-free (Ce-Ln) and supported Cu (Cu/Ce-Ln) samples were characterized by N₂ adsorption at -196 °C, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, ...

Role of ceria in oxidative dehydrogenation on supported vanadia catalysts.

The effect of the suppport on oxidative dehydrogenation activity for vanadia/ceria systems is examined for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde by use of well-defined VO(x)/CeO(2)(111) model catalysts. Temperature-programmed desorption at low vanadia loadings revealed reactivity at much lower temperature (370 K) as compared to pure ceria and vanadia on inert supports such as silica. Densit...
