Abstract
We show the applicability of a preparation method, previously reported for obtaining tailored bulk VCx catalysts, for alumina-supported G5TMCs. The characteristics of the G5TMCs/Al2O3 catalysts and their behaviour in the selective reduction of CO2 to CO through the RWGS reaction is reported. VCx/Al2O3 catalysts were active, stable and highly selective; meanwhile NbC/Al2O3 and TaC/Al2O3 were not active. VCx/Al2O3 catalysts exhibited selectivity to CO over 99.5 % at temperature above 773 K. The characteristics of alumina-supported vanadium carbide particles depended on the vanadium precursor and on the atmosphere used during the catalyst preparation. XPS characterization of VCx/Al2O3 catalysts revealed the presence of carbide species on surface before and after RWGS reaction. The catalytic behaviour of VCx/Al2O3 is analysed in the light of their characteristics and compared with bulk VCx counterparts. The most performant catalyst, VC(Pr)/Al2O3, was stable over 4 days at 723 K, with ∼100 % selectivity to CO and CO2 conversion of ∼11 %.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
