Abstract
This paper studies the effect of the direct incorporation of ZrO2 in TiO2 and TiO2–CeO2 aerogel supports prepared by sol–gel route on the physico–chemical and catalytic properties of supported vanadia catalysts in the total oxidation of chlorobenzene. The obtained catalysts have been characterized by means of ICP-AES, N2 adsorption–desorption at 77 K, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD. The results revealed that Zr-doped V2O5 based catalyst is beneficial for the improvement of catalytic properties in chlorobenzene total oxidation. In particular, in the absence of cerium groups, this beneficial effect is correlated with the better acidic properties or/and the stabilization of the V2O5 active phase in a higher oxidation state. However, in the case of cerium rich catalyst, this positive effect is much stronger thanks to the enhanced redox properties of V2O5/TiO2–CeO2–ZrO2.
