Combustion of lean methane over Co3O4 catalysts prepared with different cobalt precursors
RSC ADVANCES(2020)
Abstract
To investigate the effect of catalyst precursors on physicochemical properties and activity of lean methane catalytic combustion, a series of Co3O4 catalysts were prepared via a precipitation method by using four different cobalt precursors: Co(C2H3O2)(2), Co(NO3)(2), CoCl2, and CoSO4. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, Raman, XPS, XRF, O-2-TPD and H-2-TPR techniques. It was found that the different types of cobalt precursor had remarkable effects on the surface area, particle size, reducibility and catalytic performance. In contrast, the Co3O4-Ac catalyst showed a relatively small surface area, but its activity and stability were the highest. XPS, Raman, O-2-TPD and H-2-TPR results demonstrated that the superior catalytic performance of Co3O4-Ac was associated with its higher Co2+ concentration, more surface active oxygen species and better reducibility. In addition, the activity of the Co3O4-S catalyst reduced significantly due to the residual impurity SO42-, which could reduce the concentration of surface adsorbed active oxygen species and inhibit oxygen migration.
