Abstract
Bulgarian natural zeolite Clinoptilolite was used for catalyst carrier. To improve carrier properties modification by nitric acid and ion exchange through ammonium nitrate was performed. Catalytic active phase of cobalt and manganese was applied by wet impregnation method. Synthesised Co or Mn catalysts were characterized by means of AES-ICP, XRD, low-temperature N2 adsorption, TPR, XPS, and HRTEM. The zeolite catalysts were tested in the reaction of total oxidation of n-hexane. All samples demonstrated good catalytic activity. Samples with low amount of the active phase (10 %) manifested a higher catalytic activity. This is due to uniform distribution of the active phase on the carrier surface, diminished crystallite size, and readily reducible Co oxide and Mn oxide phases.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Today focuses on the rapid publication of original invited papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. The journal only publishes special issues (Proposing a Catalysis Today Special Issue), each of which is supervised by Guest Editors who recruit individual papers and oversee the peer review process. Catalysis Today offers researchers in the field of catalysis in-depth overviews of topical issues.
Both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis are covered. Subjects such as catalysis of immobilized organometallic and biocatalytic systems are welcome. Subjects related to catalysis such as experimental techniques, adsorption, process technology, synthesis, in situ characterization, computational, theoretical modeling, imaging and others are included if there is a clear relationship to catalysis.
