Abstract:

CuO/γ-Al2O3 sorbent catalysts prepared by stepwise impregnation were studied using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2 temperatureprogrammed reduction (H2TPR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments. Results showed that the dispersion capacity of CuO loading on γ-Al2O3 was 0.042 g/100 m2. Two forms of CeO2 on γ-Al2O3 were observed: one consisted of highly dispersed entities (called 2D-Ce), and the other were relatively large three dimensional particles (3D-Ce). The controlled addition of CuO/γ-Al2O3 improved catalyst dispersion, substantially increased the absorption capacity and absorption rate and the cycling life of CuO/γ-Al2O3.
