Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene and CO over Nanocatalysts Derived from Hydrotalcite‐Like Compounds (X62+Al23+): Effect of the Bivalent Cation

Abstract

X6Al2HT hydrotalcites, where X represents Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn or Mg, were synthesized as precursors of catalysts for the toluene and CO total oxidation reactions. Specific area, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy analysis, XRD measurements and Thermal analysis of these dried solids were performed. After calcination at 500 °C, different mixed oxides were obtained. The structural analysis (XRD, FTIR) and specific areas of these solids were done. Concerning the total oxidation of toluene, the best activity is obtained with Mn6Al2HT catalyst with T50 at 249 °C. X6Al2 nano‐oxides synthesized using hydrotalcite‐type solids as precursors, are then very promising candidates for an utilisation as CO and VOC oxidation catalysts. The nature of bivalent cation in these compounds is essential for the efficacy of the catalyst.

X6Al2HT hydrotalcites, with X = Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn or Mg, were synthesized as precursors of catalysts for the toluene and CO total oxidation reactions. The catalytic activity can be established is following order: Mn6Al2HT500 > Co6Al2HT500 = Cu6Al2HT500 > Fe6Al2HT500 > Ni6Al2HT500 >> Zn6Al2HT500 > Mg6Al2HT500.
