Ce-基催化剂上CH_4低温催化燃烧的研究

Ce-基催化剂在汽车尾气净化，工业废气处理，烃类重整，烃类选择加氢等方面均有广泛的应用。近几十年来关于如何制备高活性、高稳定性的非贵金属复合氧化物催化剂一直是催化研究的重要课题之一。Ce-基催化剂主要都是通过其它金属氧化物M掺杂到CeO_2中形成Ce_(1-x)M_xO（M为掺杂物）固溶体。本文选用CeO_2作为主要研究对象，用柠檬酸法有目的的引入化学特性、离子半径不同的另一组分，用x值表示各元素间的化学计量比，优化催化剂的组成、结构，来调节所合成固溶体氧化物的物理化学性质。分别以碱土金属Ca、稀土金属La以及过渡金属Ni和Mn为掺杂物制备出含其它不同离子的Ce-基催化剂；将具有较高活性的Ni_(0.7)Ce_(0.3)O负载在ZrO_2上，以CH_4燃烧为模型反应，考察催化剂活性和氧化还原性的关系。1．Ce-Ca-La-O体系单独Ca或La分别加入到CeO_2中后催化剂的活性比单独的CeO_2的活性要高出很多，完全转化温度要下降近100℃，而且它们的H_2-TPR实验也证实了其氧化还原能力有很大的提高。将Ca和La同时引入到CeO_2的复合氧化物Ce-La-Ca-O材料，其活性比无La的Ce-Ca-O的活性没有明显的提高，而且反而要比Ce-La-O的活性低，且其HZ一TPR实验也显示出和复合氧化物Ce-Ca-O的轮廓一样。2．Ce-Ni-Mn-O体系对NiO、MnO_x、CeO_2三种金属氧化物，在优化两种金属氧化物最佳配比（组成）后，在复合氧化物中掺杂第三种金属氧化物以考察第三种金属对其甲烷燃烧活性的影响。（l）CeO_2-MnO_x体系中，在Ce_(0.8)Mn_(0.2)O掺杂NiO后，发现当Ni的摩尔量为-10％时，活性提高幅度的很大，完全燃烧的温度下降了近50℃，可在550℃将CH_4完全氧化到CO_2。（2）CeO_2-NiO体系中，Ce_(0.3)Ni_(0.7)O可在530℃将CH_4完全氧化到CO_2。向其中掺杂Mn后，复合氧化物的活性反而下降，要在550oC才能将CH4完全氧化到C02。这可能是阴离子缺陷减少所致。（3）NIO一Mnox体系中，Nio，IMn090掺杂Ce后，催化活性有大幅度提高，特别是Nio．ICeyMno90（0．3三y生0．8）中催化剂的活性更高，可在530oC体系中，其中y＝0．5时更突出。3．Ni-Ce-O／ZrOZ体系（1）Ni1-x一Cex一O体系中，独立的CeOZ相促进了NIO的还原和表面积增加。（2）少量的CeOZ的掺杂明显改善了NIO对cH4完全氧化反应的活性。继续增加Ce的量催化活性弱有增加，然后下降。在Ce的掺杂量为30％时，即Nio7Ceo3O，催化活性最佳，此时甲烷完全转化的温度为530oC。（3）催化剂Ni07Ceo3O具有很好的稳定性，900oC下焙烧，还能在540oC将CH4完全氧化到COZ。（4）催化剂Pd／Ni07Ceo30的催化活性与Pd／A12O3的活性相当。（5）催化剂Ni07Ce03O负载在不同的载体上，发现ZrOZ作载体效果最佳，其次为5102，这可能是ZrOZ、5102对NIO、CeOZ相对惰性有关；而MgO、A1203虽表面积较大，但作为载体效果却不好，可能其易与NIO、CeOZ发生反应有关。（6）Nio7Ceo3O负载在ZrOZ上，提高了表面积同时促进了Nio7Ceo3O还原性，以负载量为50％时活性最好。结构分析发现有两个新相生成，Ni4Zro和CeZO3。（7）通过对比发现Nio7Ceo3O（50％）／ZrOZ体系高活性除了ZrOZ作为载体提高表面积外，Zr02和Ce在这里还起到助催化剂的作用。4．还探讨了Pr掺杂到CeO2，以及YSZ作为载体负载过渡金属氧化物在甲烷催化燃烧反应种的作用。

Reduction property and catalytic activity of Ce1-XNiXO2 mixed oxide catalysts for CH4 oxidation

Ce1-XNiXO2 oxides with X varying from 0.05 to 0.5 were prepared by different methods and characterized by XRD and TPR techniques. Ce(0.7)Mi(0.3)O(2) sample prepared by sol-gel method shows the highest reducibility and the highest catalytic activity for methane combustion. Three kinds of Ni phases co-exist in the Ce1-XNiXO2 catalysts prepared by sol-gel method: (i) aggregated NiO on the support CeO2, (ii) highly dispersed NiO with strong interaction with CeO2 and (iii) Ni atoms incorporated into CeO2 lattice. The distribution of different Ni species strongly depends on the preparation methods. The highly dispersed NiO shows the highest activity for methane combustion. The NiO aggregated on the support CeO2 shows lower catalytic activity for methane combustion, while the least catalytic activity is found for the Ni species incorporated into CeO2. Any oxygen vacancy formed in CeO2 lattice due to the incorporating of Ni atoms adsorbs and activates the molecular oxygen to form active oxygen species. So the highest catalytic activity for methane combustion on Ce0.7Ni0.3O2 catalyst is attributed not only to the highly dispersed Ni species but also to the more active oxygen species formed.

Structural characteristics and redox behaviors of Ce1-xCuxOy solid solutions

Nanosized Ce1-xCuxOy materials were prepared by complexation-combustion method. The structural characteristics and redox behaviors were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (H-2-TPR), UV-Vis, and Raman spectroscopies. In XRD patterns, no evidence of CuO diffraction peaks are observed for the Ce1-xCuxOy samples calcinated at 650 degreesC for 5 h, until the Cu/(Ce + Cu) ratio is higher than 0.4. The stepwise decrease of the 2theta value of CeO2 in Ce1-xCuxOy with the increasing of Cu concentration suggests that the CU2+ ions incorporate into the CeO2 lattice to form Ce1-xCuxOy solid solutions for low Cu/(Ce + Cu) ratios (x less than or equal to 0.1). The CuO phase begins to segregate from the solid solutions with the further increasing of Cu/(Ce+Cu) ratio. The Raman mode at 1176 cm(-1) ascribed to the enhanced defects appears for CeO2 and the Ce0.9Cu0.1Oy solid solution. Compared with CeO2 alone, the Raman mode of cubic CeO2 shifts from 462 to 443 cm(-1) for the Ce0.9Cu0.1Oy solid solution. The H-2 consumption of the fresh Ce0.95Cu0.05Oy is 1.65 times higher than that needed to reduce CuO to Cu, and it increases to 2.4 after a reoxidation of the partially reduced Ce0.95Cu0.05Oy at 300 degreesC, which indicates that the CeO2 phase is also extensively reduced. Compared with the high Cu/(Ce+Cu) ratio sample Ce0.7Cu0.3Oy, the Ce0.9Cu0.1Oy solid solution shows high and stable redox property even after different reoxidation temperatures. When the reoxidation temperature exceeds 200 degreesC, the a peak (similar to170 degreesC) ascribed to the reduction of surface oxygen disappears, and the P peak (similar to190 degreesC) ascribed to the reduction of Cu2+ species and the partial reduction of bulk CeO2 shifts to higher temperatures with the H-2 consumption 1.16 times higher than that for fresh sample. The result demonstrates that the redox property of the CeO2 is Significantly improved by forming the Ce1-xCuxOy solid solutions.

Thermal barrier coating of lanthanum-zirconium-cerium composite oxide made by electron beam-physical vapor deposition

Lanthanum-zirconium-cerium composite oxide (La-2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)(2)O-7, LZ7C3) as a candidate material for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was prepared by electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). The composition, crystal structure, thermophysical properties, surface and cross-sectional morphologies and cyclic oxidation behavior of the LZ7C3 coating were studied. The results indicated that LZ7C3 has a high phase stability between 298 K and 1573 K, and its linear thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) is similar to that of zirconia containing 8 wt% yttria (8YSZ). The thermal conductivity of LZ7C3 is 0.87 W m(-1) K-1 at 1273 K, which is almost 60% lower than that of 8YSZ. The deviation of coating composition from the ingot can be overcome by the addition of excess CeO2 and ZrO2 during ingot preparation or by adjusting the process parameters.

Application of rare earths in thermal barrier coating materials

Rare earths are a series of minerals with special properties that make them essential for applications including miniaturized electronics, computer hard disks, display panels, missile guidance, pollution controlling catalysts, H-2-storage and other advanced materials. The use of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) has the potential to extend the working temperature and the life of a gas turbine by providing a layer of thermal insulation between the metallic substrate and the hot gas. Yttria (Y2O3), as one of the most important rare earth oxides, has already been used in the typical TBC material YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia). In the development of the TBC materials, especially in the latest ten years, rare earths have been found to be more and more important. All the new candidates of TBC materials contain a large quantity of rare earths, such as R2Zr2O7 (R=La, Ce, Nd, Gd), CeO2-YSZ, RMeAl11O19 (R=La, Nd; Me=Mg, Ca, Sr) and LaPO4. The concept of double-ceramic-layer coatings based on the rare earth materials and YSZ is effective for the improvement of the thermal shock life of TBCs at high temperature.

Fast densification and electrical conductivity of yttria-stabilized zirconia nanoceramics

Nanocrystalline 8YSZ (8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia) bulk samples with grain sizes of 20-30 nm were synthesized by Sol-Gel method and then densified under a high pressure of 4.5 GPa at 1273 K for 10 min. The method led to the densification of 8YSZ to a relative density higher than 92% without grain growth. Fourier transmission Raman spectroscopy suggested that 8YSZ underwent a phase transition from the cubic phase to a phase mixture (tetragonal plus a trace of monoclinic) after the densification, which decreased the electrical conductivity to a certain degree as concluded from the impedance spectroscopy.

Extraction and separation of cerium(IV) from nitric acid solutions containing thorium(IV) and rare earths(III) by DEHEHP

The extraction behaviour of Ce(IV), Th(IV) and part of RE(III), viz., La, Ce, Nd and Yb, has been investigated using di(2-ethylhexyl) 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate (DEHEHP,B) in heptane as an extractant. Results show that extractability varies in the order: Ce(IV) > Th(IV) much greater than RE(III). Therefore, it is possible to find the appropriate conditions under which Ce(IV) can be effectively separated from Th(IV) and RE(III). Furthermore, stripping Ce(IV) from the loaded organic phase can be carried out by dilute H2SO4 with an aliquot of H2O2.Roasted bastnasite made in Baotou (China) by Na2CO3 and leached by HNO3, there is about 50% Ce mainly as tetravalent nitrate along with other RE(III) and Th(IV) in the leachings. Through fractional extraction, taking nitric acid leachings of roasted Bastnasite as feed and DEHEHP as an extractant, we can obtain the CeO2 products with high purity of 99.9-99.99%, with a yield of >85%, in which ThO2/CeO2 < 10(-4).
