چکیده

In our former work [Catal. Today 174 (2011) 127], 12 heterogeneous catalysts were screened for CO oxidation, and Au-ZnO/Al2O3 was chosen and optimized in terms of weight loading of Au and ZnO. The present study follows on to consider the impact of process parameters (catalyst preparation and reaction conditions), in conjunction with catalyst composition (weight loading of Au and ZnO, and total weight of the catalyst), as the optimization of the process parameters simultaneously optimized the catalyst composition. The optimization target is the reactivity of this important reaction. These factors were first optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with 25 experiments, to obtain the optimum: 100 mg of 1.0%Au-4.1%ZnO/ Al2O3 catalyst with 220 oC calcination and 100 oC reduction. After optimization, main effects and interactions of these five factors were studied using statistical sensitivity analysis (SA). Certain observations from SA were verified by reaction mechanism, reactivity test and/or characterization techniques, while others need further investigation.

Development of high performance catalysts for CO oxidation using data-based modeling

This paper presents a model-aided approach to the development of catalysts for CO oxidation. This is in contrast to the traditional methodology whereby experiments are guided based on experience and intuition of chemists. The proposed approach operates in two stages. To screen a promising combination of active phase, promoter and support material, a powerful “space-filling” experimental design ...

On the potential role of hydroxyl groups in CO oxidation over Au/Al2O3

The deuterium isotope effect in the steady state CO oxidation rate over Au/ -Al2O3 in the presence of H2 or H2O and the effect of pretreatment on an uncalcined catalyst were studied. In a reaction feed containing 1% CO, 0.5% O2, and 40.5% H2 at room temperature, CO oxidation exhibited a deuterium isotope effect (kH/kD) of 1.4 ± 0.2. The rate of D2 oxidation was also slower than the oxidation of...

Support effect in high activity gold catalysts for CO oxidation.

In this work, we present a detailed study concerning the evaluation of the metal-support interaction in high activity gold catalysts for CO oxidation. Using the colloidal deposition method, model catalysts were prepared, which allow the isolation of the effect of the support on the catalytic activity. Prefabricated gold particles were thus deposited on different support materials. Since the dep...
