The catalysts investigated in this work were prepared by co-precipitation of nitrates with aqueous K2CO3/KOH solution, followed by washing the precipitates to varying degrees of potassium content and calcining the precursors at 500 °C for 4 h. Mn-Al potassium salt followed by calcination at 500 °C. Before the catalytic reaction, they were calcined at 700 °C. The catalysts and their precursors were characterized by the following measurement techniques: ICP, DTG, XRD, N2 physisorption, FTIR, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, XPS, and thermal alkali metal desorption (SR-TAD).\n\n

In this study, Co-Mn-Al mixed oxides modified by K were prepared by co-precipitation of a solution of metal nitrates with the aqueous solution of K2CO3 and KOH, washing the precipitates to different level of K concentrations and finally calcined at chosen temperature, usually 500 °C. The catalysts were characterized by AAS, nitrogen physisorption (Sbet), TPR-H2, XRD, and TPD- CO2. In case of direct NO decomposition, the catalysts pre-calcined at 700 °C were tested for direct NO decomposition in inert gas (650 °C, 0.5 g, 1000 ppm NO/N2, 49 ml min"1). Deep oxidation of ethanol was carried out under following conditions: 0.2 g, 760 ppm of ethanol in air, 4 000 ml h'1, the temperature ramp of 2 °C min'1.

This study is focused on the effect of Pluronic P123® addition during preparation of the ceria-titania supports on the properties of cobalt oxide catalysts in the deep oxidation of ethanol. The supports with CeO2/TiO2 molar ratio of 0.25 were prepared by sol-gel reaction and subsequent heating at 500 °C.

The purope of this study was to investigate the effect of silica-supported 12-phosphomolybdic acids in which molybdenum is partially substituted for vanadium on deep oxidation of ethanol and the effect of introduction of palladium to the catalysts on their activity and selectivity in total ethanol oxidation.

It can be concluded that conditions of sieves pretreatment substantially affect properties of the deposited oxides, and consequently, the catalitic activity of the prepared catalysts.

In the present study, we applied the method of impregnation using acidic solution of metal salts in combination with a support having basic properties that could limit penetration of active components into the support pellets.

Ceria containing catalysts play an essential role in heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, ceria shows poor thermal stability and low specific surface area and therefore, many studies have been done to improve its properties by combination with other oxides. Alumina-ceria is substantial component of the three ways catalysts, due to the ceria ability to function as the buffer of oxygen and to enhance the oxygen storage capacity of the catalysts. Ceria in these catalysts also functions as structural promoting component, increasing alumina stability towards thermal sintering. Promising method of oxides preparation, very interesting and simple but not sufficiently studied yet is a mechanochemical synthesis. Here we report on the synthesis of nano-sized alumina, ceria and ceria-alumina of various compositions by a wet solid phase mechanochemical reaction of hydrous aluminum, and/or cerium nitrate with ammonium bicarbonate after addition of a small amount of water. The aim of this contribution is to study processes being in progress during synthesis of the mixed oxides, interaction between components and their mutual effect on the properties of resulting products. The phase evolution during mechanical milling and the subsequent heat treatment of precursors were studied by X-ray diffraction, DTA/TG, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, CO2-TPD, N2 adsorption at -195°C, IR, and XPS spectroscopy. Alumina and mixtures of alumina with different quantities of CeO2 (1- 18 wt. %) were synthesized by mechanochemical method from aluminum nitrate, cerium nitrate and ammonia bicarbonate.
