Abstract
A series of V2O5 supported on CeO2-intercalated clay catalysts (named V2O5/Ce-Lap catalysts) with mesoporous structure and high specific surface area were prepared. The structural characteristics and physicochemical properties were studied in detail. These catalysts were evaluated for the H2S selective oxidation. It was revealed that all V2O5/Ce-Lap catalysts showed high catalytic activities in the temperature range of 120–220 °C due to the redox reaction of highly dispersed V5+ species, and the catalytic mechanism obeyed a redox process, i.e. a stepwise mechanism. Additionally, the chemically absorbed oxygen also played an important role in H2S selective oxidation. Among them, the 5% V2O5/Ce-Lap catalyst presented the best catalytic activity and excellent regenerability at 180 °C. Finally, the catalyst deactivation mechanism was explored.
