Abstract

The novel catalysts of LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite monolith, LaCoO3/SiO2/cordierite monolith, LaCoO3/TiO2/cordierite monolith were prepared by using aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles as washcoat and monolithic cordierite as the monolithic ceramic substrate.The obtained samples were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, EDS, BET, and ultrasonic vibration test (Medi II Pselecta). The surface area of the cordierite monolith-supported LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3 is larger than those of LaCoO3/SiO2 and LaCoO3/TiO2. The coating of alumina, silica oxide and titania nanoparticles could increase the surface area of monolithic cordierite and also endue the coated layer with engineered structure. The results of thermal treatment experiment indicate that the good thermal stability of the ɤ-Al2O3 coating on the cordierite. The ultrasonic vibration test results showed that the washcoat was adhered to the substrate strongly. The weight loss for the samples LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite (the most desired preparation protocol in this study) eventually reached about 3%, which was considered as a low weight loss.The LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite monolith catalysts were successfully prepared by coating ready-made 3DOM LaCoO3 (perovskite-type oxides) catalysts onmonolithic cordierite substrate with a dip-coating method by employing aluminasol for the first time. The catalytic activities of a series of monolithic catalystsLaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite, LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite (3DOM-catalysts), LaCoO3/SiO2/cordierite, LaCoO3/TiO2/cordierite were evaluated for soot combustion. Thenano LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite catalysts gave the highest catalytic activity for soot combustion among the studied catalysts. The T10, T50, T90 over the LaCoO3/ɤ-Al2O3/cordierite catalyst were 199.4°C, 340.5°C, 405.3°C, respectively, and sco2m was 99.9%.
