Abstract:
Manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) were synthesized by oxidizing MnSO
4 with KMnO
4 and then doped with Ce. The structure and oxidation activity of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, N
2 adsorptiondesorption, TEM, FT-IR, Uv-vis, O
2-TPD, H
2-TPR and XPS techniques. The catalytic activity for dimethyl ether (DME) combustion was also evaluated. The results showed that the highly-dispersed amorphous CeO
2 exited when Ce-doping was low. However, the independent CeO
2 formed when Ce-doping exceed 10%. XPS results show that the doped-Ce can improve the lattice oxygen of the catalyst. O
2-TPD and H
2TPR characterization show that the Ce-OMS-2 catalysts have abundant facile lattice oxygen and can be easily reduced. Ce-OMS-2 display excellent performance in DME catalytic combustion, with a start-off temperature of 160℃ and a complete temperature of 170℃. CO
2 and H
2O are the only reaction products detected. The used catalyst keeps the same crystalline as the fresh, and there is no carbon deposition detected over the used catalyst.
