The effect of the preparation method of asphalt waste foam ceramic loaded Pd/Ce-P-Al2O3 coatings on their properties

Abstract

Asphalt waste-based foam ceramics were prepared by organic foam impregnation, followed by ultrasound-assisted impregnation and calcination to deposit 3-5 wt.% Pd/Ce-P-Al2O3 active coatings. The results show that γ-Al2O3 as an aluminum source provides a higher specific surface area and facilitates the dispersion of the catalytic components, so that low-temperature conversion of CO can be achieved, but the coating uniformity, stability, and the ability to modify the defects on ceramic surfaces are lower than those of the aluminum nitrate calcination products. Aluminum dihydrogen phosphate as a P source could rapidly convert 60% of CO, but the performance decreased at a later stage, while phosphoric acid as a P source could achieve the complete conversion of CO at a lower temperature. The mechanical properties of the samples with the addition of aluminum dihydrogen phosphate and aluminum nitrate baked products were better, which was 0.6 MPa higher than the uncoated foam ceramics.
