چکیده

The effect of surface Mo on the water-gas-shift (WGS) activity of Pd/ceria was studied. A series of 1-wt% Pd catalysts, with varying Mo content, were prepared from supports obtained by aqueous impregnation of (NH4)2MoO4 onto ceria. Rates were found to decrease linearly with Mo coverage up to 1.8 Mo/nm2 and were 10% of that on Pd/ceria after the addition of this amount of Mo. TPD studies with 2-propanol on the Mo-containing ceria demonstrate a relationship between the loss of WGS activity and ceria sites that decompose the alcohol to propene and water. FTIR measurements suggest that Mo ions exchange with surface hydroxyls on ceria and that carbonates are not formed on ceria surfaces that have 1.8 Mo/nm2. The results from CO-O2 pulse measurements suggest that the Mo-containing surface is much harder to reduce than pure ceria. Raman spectra of the Mo-containing ceria show features associated with molybdena only for Mo coverages greater than 1.8 Mo/nm2. The implications of these results for understanding WGS activity on Pd/ceria are discussed.

Deactivation Mechanisms for Pd/Ceria During the Water-Gas Shift Reaction

The mechanism responsible for the irreversible deactivation of ceria-supported precious metals for the watergas-shift reaction has been investigated through accelerated aging tests. It is shown that deactivation of Pd/ ceria occurs more rapidly at 673 K compared to 523 K when operating with an integral reactor in 25 torr each of CO and H2O. By heating a fresh catalyst in H2, H2O, CO, or CO2, it...

The Effect of Fe and Other Promoters on the Activity of Pd/Ceria for the Water-Gas Shift Reaction

The effect of adding oxide promoters, at monolayer coverages, to Pd/ceria catalysts was studied for the watergas-shift reaction in 25 torr each of H2O and CO under differential conditions. Oxides of Fe, Tb, Gd, Y, Sn, Sm, Pr, Eu, Bi, Cr, V, Pb, and Mo were added to ceria by wet impregnation of aqueous salts and calcined to 873 K prior to addition of 1 wt% Pd. While most of the oxides had a negl...

On the issue of the deactivation of Au-ceria and Pt-ceria water-gas shift catalysts in practical fuel-cell applications.

In recent years, nanostructured Au catalysts have attracted a lot of attention as potential candidates for the removal of poisonous carbon monoxide from synthesis gas streams, thus upgrading hydrogen gas to be used as fuel at the anode of lowtemperature fuel cells. The interest in Au nanoparticles has been motivated by the pioneering work of Haruta et al., who demonstrated the extremely high ac...

The Activity of Fe-Pd Alloys for the Water-Gas Shift Reaction

The role of Fe promoters has been investigated on Pd/ceria, Pt/ceria and Rh/ceria catalysts for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction in 25 Torr of CO and H2O, under differential reaction conditions. While no enhancement was observed with Pt and Rh, the activity of Pd/ceria increased by as much as an order of magnitude upon the addition of an optimal amount of Fe. Similarly, the addition of 1 wt% ...

A Mechanistic Study of Sulfur Poisoning of the Water-Gas-Shift Reaction Over Pd/Ceria

The effect of sulfur on the water-gas-shift (WGS) activity of Pd/ceria catalysts has been studied using steadystate rate measurements, pulse-reactor studies, and FTIR. After exposing Pd/ceria to SO2 at 673 K in an oxidizing environment, the WGS rates dropped to a value close to that observed on Pd/alumina. Both pulsereactor and FTIR measurements showed that cerium sulfates can be readily reduce...
