Abstract
Pure CeO2and a series of (x %) K-CeO2(x=1, 2, 3, 4) catalysts were respectively prepared by the precipitation and incipient wetness impregnation methods, and characterized by means of XRD, BET and H2-TPR techniques. The catalytic activity was investigated by the gas-solid reaction with methane in the absence of gaseous oxidant in a fixed bed reactor at 800 °C. The XRD measurement showed that doping of K2CO3did not change the structure of CeO2with the addition of K2CO3 without formation of Ce-K-O solid solution in these materials. Surface area of catalysts wasSubscript textdecreased with the impregnation amount of K2CO3. Reducibility of catalysts was obviously enhanced by the addition of K2CO3as shown in H2-TPR tests. The catalysts activity tests indicated that adding K2CO3to CeO2could promote the oxygen storage capacity of catalysts. K species in CeO2could affect the CO formation in methane oxidation.
