Abstract:

Pd/Al2O3 catalyst modified by Nb promoter was prepared and tested for benzene catalytic combustion. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of NH3, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, and N2 adsorption. The results showed that the addition of Nb effectively improved the activity and stability of Pd/Al2O3 catalyst by increasing the dispersion of Pd active components, changing the oxidation state of partial palladium and increasing oxygen species concentration on the surface of catalyst. In case of Pd-Nb/Al2O3 catalyst, the benzene conversion of 90%was obtained at temperature as low as 195 ℃. Moreover, the 1%Pd-5%Nb/Al2O3 catalyst was more active than the 2%Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. It is concluded that Pd and Nb have a synergistic effect in benzene catalytic combustion.
