Abstract
The novel TiO2-WO3 solid acid catalyst system was successfully constructed through modified sol-gel method, by using different molar ratios of Ti/W and various chelating agents. The catalytic degradation performance of these catalysts were researched for the mixture [500 ppmv chlorobenzene (CB) and 500 ppmv methylbenzene (MB)]. The results showed that the specific surface area, pore structure, crystal size, acid properties and redox properties of TiO2-WO3 solid acid catalysts were effectively improved by reasonable selection and optimization of Ti/W molar ratio and chelating agent. The TiO2-WO3 composite catalysts displayed good catalytic activity and selectivity in the catalytic degradation of both CB and MB. Among them, the catalyst with the Ti/W molar ratio of 4/1 (4Ti1W) demonstrated the optimal catalytic activity, with the T90% for CB and MB degradation being 355 °C and 320 °C, respectively. Among the types of chelating agents, the TiWO-CA catalyst with citric acid as the chelating agent was the best since it had high acidic sites and good redox ability. In addition, the stability of TiWO-CA in continuous reaction was proved by 60 h tolerance test. This study offers a theoretical basis and experimental insights for the subsequent development of highly active and green solid acid samples for VOCs treatment.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
