Stability and performance of supported Fe–V-oxide catalysts in methanol oxidation
چکیده انگلیسی

As the commercial Fe–Mo-oxide catalyst that is used for oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde suffers from deactivation by Mo volatilization, alternative catalysts are of interest. Therefore, TiO2-, α-Al2O3- and SiO2-supported (Fe)–V–O catalysts were prepared with a loading of up to 30 μmol of each metal per m2 surface area of the support. The samples were tested for activity using a high inlet concentration of methanol (10 vol.%), and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES). The activity measurements show that the preparations with the highest loads of V give the best performance. With regard to the support, the activity of the supported catalysts decreases in the order TiO2 > Al2O3 > SiO2. According to XPS, the surface concentration of V decreases in the same order, confirming that vanadium is an active element. At high methanol conversion, the selectivity to formaldehyde decreases from 90% to 80% in the sequence unsupported FeVO4 > (Fe)VOx/TiO2 ≈ (Fe)VOx/Al2O3 > FeVOx/SiO2 > VOx/SiO2. Iron has only a small effect on the catalytic performance, whereas it has a stabilizing effect on vanadium decreasing its volatility. However, volatilization experiments reveal that the volatilization of V from the supported (Fe)–V-oxide is much severer than that from bulk FeVO4 due to the dispersion and the comparatively low amount of active metal. Our data demonstrate that neither supported V-oxide nor supported Fe–V-oxide is suitable as a catalyst in the industrial scale production of formaldehyde by methanol oxidation.

A considerable loss of the vanadium supported on TiO2, α-Al2O3 and SiO2 is observed after 5 days of operation in methanol oxidation with 10% methanol and 10% O2 at 300 °C and at differential conditions.Figure optionsDownload high-quality image (87 K)Download as PowerPoint slide
