Abstract

Supporting extremely small concentrations of noble metals on SiO 2 and Bi 2Mo 3O 12 affected the catalytic activity and product distribution in iso-butane partial oxidation. Supporting Pt, Pd, and Rh onto SiO 2 by 1 atom/μm 2 enhanced the catalytic activity. Selectivity values of partial oxidation products, iso-butene, CH 3C(CH 3)CHO, CH 3CHO and CH 3COCH 3, were increased and CO x selectivity was decreased. Rh/SiO 2 gave an EPR signal due to isolated Rh 2+ ions with g ⊥=2.07 and g ∥=1.95, suggesting that two valent Rh ions are well dispersed on the surface and play a role in the oxidation of iso-butane. Supporting Pd, Ir, Rh, and Au onto Bi 2Mo 3O 12 at a concentration of (1/9)×10 −4 atom/nm 2 increased the conversion, but supporting Pt and Ru decreased it. Selectivity values of CH 2C(CH 3)CHO and CO x were the same for every catalyst. Catalytic activity was increased by supporting them by (1/49)×10 −4 atom/nm 2; especially, supporting Rh increased the activity without changing the selectivity of CH 2C(CH 3)CHO. Supported noble metal will interact with active oxygen ions bridging Mo and Bi on the Bi 2Mo 3O 12 surface. Since a certain concentration of supported noble metals, (1/49)×10 −4 nm 2, begins to affect the catalytic activity and selectivity, this concentration may reflect the concentration of active sites in iso-butane oxidation at 350–400 °C over Bi 2Mo 3O 12.
