Abstract: Mn-substituted hexaaluminate(Ba1-xLaxMn3Al9O19-α) catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis based on hydrolysis of urea.Effect of La3+ substituting Ba2+ on phase compositions,structure,thermal stability and methane combustion activity was investigated.When x≥0.4,La2(CO3)3 decomposed in the range of 530—580 ℃ to be converted into La2O3.La2O3 reacted with γ-Al2O3 to form LaAlO3 perovskite phase in the temperature range of 800—900 ℃.BaAl2O4 spinel phase was suppressed due to the formation(of LaAlO)3perovskite phase,and higher dispersing of Ba2+ in the solid phase was maintained,which is(more favorable) for the formation of hexaaluminate phase.When(x<0.4),the BET specific surface areas(and methane) combustion activities of the Ba1-xLaxMn3Al9O19-α catalysts decreased due to the formation of(BaAl2O)4(spinel phase).The hexaaluminate structure distorted to some extent when Ba2+ were substituted with La3+.(The larger) the distortion,the lower the thermal stability of the Ba1-xLaxMn3Al9O19-α catalysts.The methane combustion activity of the Ba1-xLaxMn3Al9O19-α catalysts varied with the change of x,and the(Ba0.2La0.8Mn3Al9O)19-α((x=0.8)) catalyst showed the highest activity for methane combustion.
