Room Temperature Photocatalytic Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Over Pd/TiO2-SiO2 Catalysts

2013-12-01
The photocatalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide over TiO2-SiO2 and Pd/TiO2-SiO2 catalysts was studied. The catalyst samples were synthesized by using sol-gel technique coupled with hydrothermal treatment and all samples were hydrothermally treated before calcination in air. The catalyst samples were characterized by XRD, BET and DRIFTS techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was determined by using circulated batch photoreactor coupled with in line gas transmission FTIR cell charged with 2,000 ppm carbon monoxide in air initially over 0.5 g of catalyst sample under 33 W (254 nm) irradiation power. XRD and BET results confirmed the presence of anatase phase and the decrease on the crystallite size of TiO2 with SiO2 addition which yield higher surface area and better dispersion of TiO2 over mesoporous SiO2. DRIFTS results indicated the presence of surface hydroxyls coordinated to Ti4+ and Si-O-Ti sites. All samples containing 10-90 % TiO2 over SiO2 exhibited significant photo oxidation activity at room temperature. The photocatalytic oxidation rate of carbon monoxide is favored by SiO2 addition due to high surface area, better dispersion of TiO2 particles and higher surface defects. The addition of PdO improves the photocatalytic activity significantly and the synergy between the TiO2 and PdO phases.

Selective oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using combinatorial methodologies
Miyazaki, T; Ozturk, S; Onal, I; Senkan, S (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-30)
Direct oxidation of propylene by oxygen to propylene oxide (PO) has been studied through the application of the techniques of combinatorial catalysis. Catalytic materials containing single and binary metal components were prepared by impregnating standard gamma-Al2O3 pellets. In the first stage, 34 single component catalytic materials at three different metal loading levels were prepared and screened for PO activity and selectivity using array channel microreactors and mass spectrometry. Experiments were co...
Oxidative coupling of methane over NbO (p-type) and Nb2O5 (n-type) semiconductor materials
Erarslanoglu, Y; Onal, I; Doğu, Timur; Senkan, S (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1996-01-01)
Oxidative coupling of methane to higher hydrocarbons was investigated using two types of semiconductor catalysts, NbO (p-type) and Nb2O5 (n-type) at 1 atm pressure. The ratio of methane partial pressure to oxygen partial pressure was changed from 2 to 112 and the temperature was kept at 1023 K in the experiments conducted in a cofeed mode. The results indicated a strong correlation between C-2+ selectivity performance and the electronic properties of the catalyst in terms of p- vs. n-type conductivity. The ...

ARBAĞ, HÜSEYİN; YAŞYERLİ, SENA; YAŞYERLİ, NAİL; Doğu, Timur; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-12-01)
Ni based mesoporous alumina (MA) catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel (SGA) and hydrothermal (MA) methods, following impregnation and one-pot synthesis routes and catalytic performances of these materials were tested in dry reforming of methane. Results proved the importance of synthesis procedure of the MA supports on the activity and coke resistance of the synthesized materials, containing 16 % Ni. Among these catalysts, MA prepared by the sol-gel technique (Ni@SGA) showed the highest activity in dry ref...
Using spilled over hydrogen in NH3 synthesis over supported Ru catalysts
Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2016-09-01)
The role of spilled over hydrogen in ammonia synthesis reaction was monitored over Ru/SiO2, Ru/SBA15 and Ru/CNF using an in-situ DRIFTS cell reactor. Strongly bound hydrogen trapped on the metal and spilled over hydrogen trapped on the support due to a diffusion barrier remained on the surface after the overnight purge followed by hydrogen exposure over a reduced catalyst. When N-2 flow was introduced at room temperature, IR characteristic signals of NH3 were observed, indicating the formation of ammonia fr...
Thermal catalytic hydrosilylation of conjugated dienes with triethylsilane in the presence of tricarbonyl(o-xylene)metal (metal = Cr, Mo, W) complexes
Kayran, C; Rouzi, P (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2001-11-01)
The thermal catalytic hydrosilylation of 1,3-butadiene (1), trans-2-methyl-1, 3-pentadiene (2), 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (3), and isoprene (4), with triethylsilane were studied in the presence of M(CO)(3) (o-xylene) (M = Cr, Mo, W) complexes in polar and nonpolar solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, hexane and toluene. Mo(CO)(3) (o-xylene) was found to be the only active catalyst for the hydrosilylation of 3 with triethylsilane, which gave 1-triethylsilyl-2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (3a), as hydrosilylated product...
