Synthesis of α- and β-FeOOH iron oxide nanoparticles in non-ionic surfactant medium
Forced hydrolysis of Fe(III) ions in acidic media was performed under controlled synthetic conditions to produce α- and β-FeOOH iron oxides. The forced hydrolysis synthesis was carried out, separately, in an a...

Effect of alloy composition on dispersion stability and catalytic activity for NO oxidation over alumina-supported Pt–Pd catalysts
Applying a synthesis procedure that promotes alloy formation, highly-dispersed alumina-supported Pt–Pd catalysts spanning the Pt-rich half of the composition range were prepared, aged under oxygen-rich hydroth...

Reducibility of Catalyzed Cerium–Praseodymium Mixed Oxides
Cerium–praseodymium mixed oxides covering a wide range of cerium/praseodymium ratios were synthesized, loaded with 2 wt% palladium, and characterized by X-ray diffraction and temperature-programmed reduction. ...

Coarsening of Pt Particles in a Model NO x Trap
The effects of temperature and atmosphere on the coarsening of Pt particles in a model NO x trap (Pt/BaO/Al2O3) were examined by XRD, TEM, and CO chemisorption. The main finding...

Leaching of Ba2+ in NOx Traps
It has been found that crystalline BaCO3 replaces crystalline BaAl2O4 in prototypical NO x traps upon exposure to liquid water. This phenomenon can be understood in terms of aci...

Aging-Induced Metal Redistribution in Bimetallic Catalysts
Alloy particles were detected by XRD in bimetallic catalysts, made from physical mixtures of powders comprising distinct metal-support combinations (e.g., Pd on alumina and Rh on ceria-zirconia), following hig...

Characterization of model automotive exhaust catalysts: Pd on Zr‐rich ceria–zirconia supports
Model Pd automotive three‐way catalysts were prepared with high‐surface‐area Zr‐rich ceria–zirconia powders as support materials, aged for 12 h at 1050°C under redox conditions simulating automotive exhaust ga...

The Use of Clays as Sorbents and Catalysts
This paper attempts to show how the structural, physical and chemical properties of clay minerals relate to their laboratory, industrial and environmental uses as sorbents and catalysts. A brief review of the ...

Microstructure of a Pd/ceria–zirconia catalyst after high-temperature aging
A model automotive exhaust catalyst, consisting of 2.25 wt% Pd supported on initially high-surface-area (88 m2/g) cerium–zirconium mixed oxide (Ce0.5Zr0.5O2), was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravime...

Sol-Gel Precursors and the Oxygen Storage Capacity of PrOy-ZrO2 Materials
The gels derived from mixtures of Pr(OiC3H7)3 and Zr(OiC3H7)4⋅iC3H7OH, upon hydrolysis and pyrolysis, furnish single-phase PrOy-ZrO2 materials crystallized in the fluorite structure. These materials can be coated...

Encapsulation of Pd particles by ceria-zirconia mixed oxides
Redox aging above 1000°C of initially high-surface-area (of order 100 m2/g) cerium-rich ceria-zirconia mixed oxides containing a few wt% Pd results in the loss of most of the surface area and concomitant encapsul...

Incorporation of La3+ into a Pt/CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst
The effects of La3+ incorporation into a Pt/CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated by a combination of activity, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), oxygen storage capacity (OSC), noble-metal surface area, and...

Investigation of La3+-modified Al2O3supported CeO2
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate that the Ce3+ fraction in Al2O3-supported CeO2 can be decreased by the incorporation of La3+. If La3+ is incorporated into the Al2O3 before CeO2 is added, a ...

Methyl t-Butyl Ether (MTBE) Production: A Comparison of Montmorillonite-Derived Catalysts with an Ion-Exchange Resin
Montmorillonite-based catalysts were compared with an acidic ion-exchange resin of the type used industrially for the production of methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) from methanol and isobutene or t-butanol. When 1,...
