Effects of Pr Doping on Structure and Catalytic Performance of Ru/CeO2 Catalyst for Ammonia Synthesis

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1088.2012.10949

Abstract

Abstract: The Pr-doped ceria supported ruthenium catalyst Ru/CeO₂-PrO₂ for ammonia synthesis was prepared by a redox co-precipitation method. The obtained catalyst samples were characterized by N₂ physisorption, X-ray diffraction, H₂temperature-programmed reduction, CO chemisorption, temperature-programmed desorption of nitrogen, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of Pr doping amount on the microstructure and catalytic properties of Ru/CeO₂-PrO₂ were investigated. The results showed that the composite oxide created form Pr-doped ceria has some influence on the Ru dispersion and surface texture. The activity test showed that the ammonia synthesis transformation frequency over the Ru/CeO₂-PrO₂catalyst with 4% Pr was 12.13 × 10^–2 s^–1 at 10 MPa, 10000 h^–1, and 425 ºC, which was 58% higher than that of Ru/CeO₂. The improvement of electrical conductivity performance is the key factor for the higher catalytic activity.

Key words: praseodymium, ceria, ruthenium, supported catalyst, ammonia synthesis
