High Sulfur-Tolerant Pt/TiO2 for Catalytic Complete Oxidation of Toluene
摘要
The SnO2 doped 0.2 wt % Pt/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method for the catalytic oxidation of toluene. The research focused on the SO2 resistance and catalytic performance of Pt/SnO2–TiO2. The results showed that T90 (the temperature corresponding conversion of 90%) was 176°C at 1000 ppm toluene concentration and weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 36 000 mL h–1 g–1. Adding 10 wt % SnO2 to the Pt/TiO2 catalyst reduced the adsorption capacity of the active component Pt for SO2, enhancing the catalyst’s resistance to SO2 poisoning. Pt/SnO2–TiO2 catalysts could recover to the initial activity after 9 h poisoning with 2800 ppm thiophene. The Pt/SnO2–TiO2 also maintained good stability during the 60 h test at 240°C with a toluene conversion larger than 99%. A series of characterization tests including XRD, H2-TPR, and TEM revealed that Pt/SnO2–TiO2 possesses a mesoporous structure and a large amount of lattice oxygen, with Pt being uniformly dispersed on the carrier surface.
