Abstract:

Cobalt oxide catalysts supported on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide were prepared by an impregnation-ultrasound method. These catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, XRD, Raman, and H2-TPR methods. The XRD and Raman results indicated that the phase of the synthesized cobalt oxide was in the Co3O4 form. The effects of cobalt oxide loading and reaction temperature were studied on the catalytic oxidation conversion of carbon monoxide. The TEM image of the best catalyst (14 wt.% metal oxide loading) revealed a good dispersion of Co3O4 over the surface of the support with an average particle size of 11-16 nm. Under the reaction conditions of T= 200-250 °C, P=1 bar, CO = 600 ppm, O2 = 5 vol.%, GHSV = 30,000 hr.−1, and Co3O4= 14 wt.%, CO conversion was 91%.

Catalytic Oxidation of 4-Methylpyridine on Modified Vanadium Oxide Catalysts

The reaction of gas-phase oxidation of 4-methylpyridine on individual V2O5, binary and ternary vanadium-oxide catalysts was studied. These catalysts were modified by additives of SnO2 and TiO2. It was found that modifying V2O5 leads to increase the activity of binary contacts. Upon transition from binary V2O5<...

Catalytically active ceria-supported cobalt-manganese oxide nanocatalysts for oxidation of carbon monoxide.

A low-concentration cobalt (∼6 at%) and manganese (∼3 at%) bimetallic oxide catalyst supported on ceria nanorods (CoMnOx/CeO2), as well as its related single metal oxide counterparts (CoOx/CeO2 and MnOx/CeO2) was synthesized via a deposition-precipitation approach. The fresh samples after air-calcination at 400 °C were tested under the reaction conditions of CO oxidation, and showed the followi...
