Abstract
- SBA-15 with varied pore size from 4 to 8 nm were synthesized by tuning the temperature of hydrothermal treatment, the supports were then used to load the active phase CrOxthrough a conventional impregnation method. The resulting catalysts were characterized by small/wide angle XRD, N2adsorption/desorption, FT-IR, TEM-EDX, XPS, TPR and CO2-TPD to study the feature of structure, surface chemical state, redox and basicity. It was found from these results that the metal species could be well dispersed on catalysts with larger pore size. Cr6+species could enter into the framework by substituting the Si atoms of SBA-15, and Cr3+mainly exist on extra framework. Pore size had profound effects on reducibility, surface composition and basicity. Cr6+species were necessary to activate the C-H bonds of alkanes, while the basicity played an important role in activating C-O bonds of CO2. The best performances were achieved over the sample Cr supported on SBA-15 with a pore diameter of 7 nm in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane in the presence of CO2.
