Abstract:
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and a series of Sr-doped HAP supports (Ca
9Sr
1, Ca
8Sr
2 and Ca
7Sr
3) were synthesized by co-precipitation method, and the supported Co
3O
4 catalysts were prepared by impregnation method. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, N
2-physisorption, Raman, FT-IR, H
2-TPR, XPS, O
2-TPD and CO
2-TPD, and the N
2O decomposition performance of the catalysts were studied using a continuous flow microreactor. The experiment results show that the order of catalytic activity is Co/Ca
8Sr
2 > Co/Ca
9Sr
1 > Co/HAP > Co/Ca
7Sr
3. When the Sr/Ca ratios are 1∶9 and 2∶8, the structure of the HAP carrier is better maintained. Sr doping not only promotes the dispersion of Co
3O
4, but also increases the number of Co
2+ and surface oxygen vacancies on the catalysts. Furthermore, an appropriate amount of Sr doping can increase the surface alkali content and basic site density of the catalyst, which is more conducive to N
2O activation and O
2 desorption.
