Oxidation of Methanol using Carburized Molybdenum Catalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molybdenum catalysts carburized in CH4/H2 exhibited activity for methanol electrooxidation (MOR) in half cell measurements. Mo carburized at 773 and 873 K showed high electrooxidation of methanol compared to carburization at other temperatures. Catalyst characterization was carried out by XRD and TPC. The active carbide species responsible to facilitate the MOR was the Mo oxycarbide and –Mo2C species.

The role of carburization temperature on the molybdenum carbide surface and their catalytic activity
The surfaces of molybdenum carbide were varied by changing the carburization temperature between 823 and 1123 K. The surfaces of the catalytic material were investigated using in-situ temperature program carburization followed by temperature program reduction and oxidation. In-situ temperature program oxidation (TPO) showed the surfaces of the catalysts contain a similar amoun...

The paper relates to a catalyst, comprising copperchromium spinel, coated on carrier γ-Al2O3. The effect of preparation conditions on the active component composition and activity behavior of the catalysts is discussed. It was found that the activity of carbon monoxide, DME, formaldehyde and methanol oxidation reaches a maximum at an active component content of 20 – 30 wt. %. Temperature calcin...
متن کاملCatalysts for the Selective Oxidation of Methanol
In industry, one of the main catalysts typically employed for the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde is a multi-component oxide containing both bulk Fe2(MoO4)3 and excess MoO3. It is thought that the excess MoO3 primarily acts to replace any molybdenum lost through sublimation at elevated temperatures, therefore preventing the formation of an unselective Fe2O3 phase. With both oxid...

Introduction Direct methanol fuel cells are very important as a clean, low cost and portable power source because of several environmental problems in traditional energy producing systems. Compared to the hydrogen fueled PEMFCs, direct methanol PEMFCs are more compact and can be used in power portable electric devices. Platinum is the most active electro-catalyst for the electro-oxidation of me...
متن کاملOn-Demand Generation of a Formaldehyde-in-Air Standard
The feasibility of using catalytic conversion of methanol to formaldehyde to produce standard amount of substance fractions of formaldehyde was examined. The conversion efficiencies of several catalysts were measured as a function of temperature, balance gas, catalyst bed length, and methanol amount of substance fraction in an effort to identify conditions which yield high and consistent conver...
