Catalytic decomposition of CF4 over copper promoted mesoporous catalysts
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of mesoporous catalysts (MCM-41) promoted by copper oxide nanoparticles were prepared by the co-precipitation method and tested for the decomposition of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4). The addition of copper oxide nanoparticles to MCM-41 led to an improvement in the catalytic activity for CF4 decomposition. The catalyst was the most active around 5 wt% copper oxide added to MCM-41. Methods of X-Ray Powder Diffractometer, Scanning Electron Microscope Energy Dispersive Spectrometer, BET, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the MCM-41 catalysts. The analytical results indicated that the addition of over 2 wt% copper oxide nanoparticles increased the surface area of MCM-41, which was the rate-determining factor of CF4 decomposition over MCM-41 catalyst. In conclusion, the addition of copper oxide was responsible for the enhancement of catalytic activity of MCM-41.

Hydrogen production from methanol decomposition over Pt/Al2O3 and ceria promoted Pt/Al2O3 catalysts
We present the activities and selectivities of Pt/Al2O3-based catalysts in the production of hydrogen from methanol through catalytic decomposition. For the decomposition reaction, the Pt and Pd catalysts promoted by ceria exhibit similar activity reaching 100% conversion at 315 C. Promoting with ceria had a positive effect on activity and selectivity. Among all catalysts, the 9% Pt– 10% CeO2/A...

Copper-containing mesoporous carbon (Cu-MC) was prepared by a single-step surfactant-templating method. For comparison, copper-impregnated mesoporous carbon (Cu/MC) was also prepared by a surfactant-templating method and a subsequent impregnation method. Rhenium catalysts supported on copper-containing mesoporous carbon and copper-impregnated mesoporous carbon (Re/Cu-MC and Re/Cu/MC, respective...

Several mesoporous nickel-based catalysts with MgO-Al2O3 as the catalyst support were prepared using a co-precipitation method at a constant pH. The supports were prepared from the decomposition of an Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like structure which had already been prepared with Mg/Al=1. Prior to impregnating 10 wt.% nickel on the supports, the precursor was decomposed at several ...
