Abstract

A series of Ru supported on CeO2 and Ce0.7Zr0.3O2(CeZrO) was prepared by incipient-wet impregnation method and investigated in the catalytic wet oxidation of N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) in batch reactor. The physicochemical property of the catalysts was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetry (TG). Compared with 3%Ru/CeO2, 3%Ru/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 catalyst exhibits much higher performance for DMF degradation due to the promotion of Ru dispersion and the transfer of active oxygen, and 99% DMF conversion and 97% COD elimination are obtained at 453 K, 2.5 MPa oxygen pressure after 5 h. The reaction mechanism of DMF degradation was suggested. The carbonaceous species deposition and oxidation of Ru can be responsible for catalyst deactivation. And the catalyst activity can be recovered by air calcination and H2 reduction.
