Wet Impregnation Method

A promising method to reduce global warming has been methane reforming with CO2, as it combines two greenhouse gases to obtain useful products. In this study, Ni-supported catalysts were synthesized using the wet impregnation method to obtain 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-5239), 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-6175), 5%Ni/SiO2, 5%Ni/MCM41, and 5%Ni/SBA15. The catalysts were tested in dry reforming of methane at 700 °C, 1 atm, and a space velocity of 39,000 mL/gcat h, to study the interaction of Ni with the supports, and evaluation was based on CH4 and CO2 conversions. 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-6175) and 5%Ni/SiO2 gave the highest conversion of CH4 (78 and 75%, respectively) and CO2 (84 and 82%, respectively). The catalysts were characterized by some techniques. Ni phases were identified by X-ray diffraction patterns. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis showed different surface areas of the catalysts with the least being 4 m2/g and the highest 668 m2/g belonging to 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-5239) and 5%Ni/SBA15, respectively. The reduction profiles revealed weak NiO-supports interaction for 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-5239), 5%Ni/MCM41, and 5%Ni/SBA15; while strong interaction was observed in 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-6175) and 5%Ni/SiO2. The 5%Ni/Al2O3(SA-6175) and 5%Ni/SiO2 were close with respect to performance; however, the former had a higher amount of carbon deposit, which is mostly graphitic, according to the conducted thermal analysis. Carbon deposits on 5%Ni/SiO2 were mainly atomic in nature.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) was studied in the light of Ni supported on 8%PO4 + ZrO2 catalysts. Cerium was used to modify the Ni active metal. Different percentage loadings of Ce (1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 5%) were tested. The wet incipient impregnation method was used for the preparation of all catalysts. The catalysts were activated at 700 °C for ½ h. The reactions were performed at 800 °C using a gas hourly space velocity of 28,000 mL (h·gcat)−1. X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), temperature programmed oxidation (TPO), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used for characterizing the catalysts. The TGA analysis depicted minor amounts of carbon deposition. The CO2-TPD results showed that Ce enhanced the basicity of the catalysts. The 3% Ce loading possessed the highest surface area, the largest pore volume, and the greatest pore diameter. All the promoted catalysts enhanced the conversions of CH4 and CO2. Among the promoted catalysts tested, the 10Ni + 3%Ce/8%PO4 + ZrO2 catalyst system operated at 1 bar and at 800 °C gave the highest conversions of CH4 (95%) and CO2 (96%). The stability profile of Cerium-modified catalysts (10%Ni/8%PO4 + ZrO2) depicted steady CH4 and CO2 conversions during the 7.5 h time on stream.

Abstract La1-xSrxNiO3 (x= 0.0, 0.3 or 0.7) perovskite-type oxides were synthesized using the modified proteic gel method and using collagen as an organic precursor. Catalysts of La1-xSrxNiO3/Al2O3 were obtained using the wet impregnation method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area and temperature-programmed reduction. The catalysts were evaluated in the partial oxidation reaction of methane, and the levels of selectivity to CO, CO2, H2 and H2O were determined. Among the catalysts studied, the catalyst LaNiO3/Al2O3 had the highest methane conversion level (78%) and higher H2 selectivity (55%).

H2 Yield

An environmentally-benign way of producing hydrogen is methane decomposition. This study focused on methane decomposition using Fe and Fe-Ni catalysts, which were dispersed over different supports by the wet-impregnation method. We observed the effect of modifying ZrO2 with La2O3 and WO3 in terms of H2 yield and carbon deposits. The modification led to a higher H2 yield in all cases and WO3-modified support gave the highest yield of about 90% and was stable throughout the reaction period. The reaction conditions were at 1 atm, 800 °C, and 4000 mL(hgcat)−1 space velocity. Adding Ni to Fe/x-ZrO2 gave a higher H2 yield and stability for ZrO2 and La2O3 + ZrO2-supported catalysts whose prior performances and stabilities were very poor. Catalyst samples were analyzed by characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Raman spectroscopy. The phases of iron and the supports were identified using XRD while the BET revealed a significant decrease in the specific surface areas of fresh catalysts relative to supports. A progressive change in Fe’s oxidation state from Fe3+ to Fe0 was observed from the H2-TPR results. The carbon deposits on Fe/ZrO2 and Fe/La2O3 + ZrO2 are mainly amorphous, while Fe/WO3 + ZrO2 and Fe-Ni/x-ZrO2 are characterized by graphitic carbon.

Wet Impregnation Method

Nowadays, one of the most important challenges that humanity faces is to find alternative ways of reducing pollutant emissions. CeO2/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 and Au/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 catalysts were prepared to efficiently transform carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) at low temperatures. The systems were prepared in a two-step process. First, Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 supports were synthesized through the hydrothermal procedure under microwave heating. Then, CeO2 was deposited on Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 using the wet impregnation method, while the incipient impregnation method was selected to deposit gold nanoparticles. The CeO2/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 and Au/Bi2Mo1−xRuxO6 catalysts were characterized using SEM microscopy and XRD. Furthermore, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy were used. Tests were carried out for the supported catalysts in CO oxidation, and high conversion values, nearing 100%, was observed in a temperature range of 100 to 250 °C. The results showed that the best system was the Au/Bi2Mo0.95Ru0.05O6 catalyst, with CO oxidation starting at 50 °C and reaching 100% conversion at 186 °C.

In this paper, the catalytic combustion of DMDS (dimethyl disulfide, CH3SSCH3) over bimetallic supported catalysts were investigated. It was confirmed that Cu/γ-Al2O3-CeO2 showed best catalytic performance among the five single-metal catalysts. Furthermore, six different metals were separately added into Cu/γ-Al2O3-CeO2 to investigate the promoting effect. The experiments revealed Pt as the most effective promoter and the the best catalytic performance was achieved as the adding amount of 0.3 wt%. The characterization results indicated that high activity and resistance to sulfur poisoning of Cu-Pt/γ-Al2O3-CeO2 could be attributed to the synergistic effect between Cu and Pt.

The InVO4-based photocatalysts loaded with metal oxides (Fe2O3, CuO, NiO) were synthesized by wet impregnation method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(DRS). The influence of different metal oxides loading (Fe2O3, CuO, NiO) on the photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 was discussed. It is found that Fe2O3-loaded InVO4 significantly enhance the methanol yield through promoting the effective separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs.

γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a valuable chemical that can be used as a clean additive for automotive fuels. This compound can be produced from biomass-derived compounds. Levulinic acid (LA) is a compound that can be obtained easily from biomass and it can be transformed into GVL by dehydration and hydrogenation using metallic catalysts. In this work, catalysts of Ni (a non-noble metal) supported on a series of natural and low-cost clay-materials have been tested in the transformation of LA into GVL. Catalysts were prepared by a modified wet impregnation method using oxalic acid trying to facilitate a suitable metal dispersion. The supports employed are attapulgite and two sepiolites with different surface areas. Reaction tests have been undertaken using an aqueous medium at moderate reaction temperatures of 120 and 180 °C. Three types of experiments were undertaken: (i) without H2 source, (ii) using formic acid (FA) as hydrogen source and (iii) using Zn in order to transform water in hydrogen through the reaction Zn + H2O → ZnO + H2. The best results have been obtained combining Zn (which plays a double role as a reactant for hydrogen formation and as a catalyst) and Ni/attapulgite. Yields to GVL higher than 98% have been obtained at 180 °C in the best cases. The best catalytic performance has been related to the presence of tiny Ni particles as nickel crystallites larger than 4 nm were not present in the most efficient catalysts.

Wet Impregnation Method

The wet impregnation method for catalytic microcombustor was characterized by using platinum as a catalyst. The main purpose of this study is to increase the surface porosity of the catalyst support. A high surface porosity indicates that a high amount of catalyst was deposited within the surface areas. The performance of the catalytic microcombustor improves with increasing catalytic surface area. The stainless steel catalyst support was treated with sulfuric acid solution containing polyvinyl (3.89 wt%) and propargyl alcohol (1.48 wt%). Combustion test was performed using LPG-air to test the performance of the catalyst. The surface support treated with polyvinyl (PVA) showed a higher surface porosity and combustion blow-out limit compared with propargyl alcohol. The combustion mode changes from surface to submerged combustion after the catalyst was deposited in the support surface.
