A series of metal catalysts with mesoporous zeolites as the supporters including Cu/, Co/, Fe/, Pt/SBA-15, Cu/SBA-16, and Cu/KIT-6 was prepared via impregnation method, and further characterized by N 2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, XRF, TEM, XPS, and H 2 -TPR. The metallic cations were verified to be the main species over Cu/, Co/, Fe/SBA-15. CuO was largely formed over Cu/KIT-6 and Cu/SBA-16, while metallic Pt particles constituted the major species on Pt/SBA-15. The selective catalytic combustion (SCC) of acrylonitrile (C 2 H 3 CN) revealed that Cu/SBA-15 exhibiting a nearly complete C 2 H 3 CN conversion associated with N 2 selectivity around 64% at T > 400 °C was the most promising catalyst. In comparison with the other mesoporous copper catalysts (Cu/KIT-6, Cu/SBA-16), the higher SCC activity of Cu/SBA-15 was attributed to its larger pore aperture greatly facilitating the copper dispersion. SCC mechanism for Cu/SBA-15 sample was further investigated by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), revealing an oxidation mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
