Abstract: Catalysts for methane combustion were prepared by Fe2O3supported on γ-Al 2O3, ZrO2-γ-Al2O3, YSZ(Yttria stabilize Zirconia)-γ-Al2O3, respectively. Among the three kinds of catalysts, Fe2O3/YSZ-γ-Al2O3show the highest activity and best thermal stability. XPS result demonstrates that the addition of ZrO2and Y2O3can increase and stabilize the surface concentration of Fe2O3and decrease the interaction between iron species and γ-Al2O3support. Fe2O3/YSZ-γ-Al2O3catalyst with a mass fraction of Fe2O310% has the highest catalytic activity. XRD result indicate that the catalytic activity is related to the state of Fe2O3dispersion on the support.
