system based on CeO2 – ZrO2 for the complete oxidation of hydrocarbon to treat motorcycle’s exhaust gases Figure 31 showed the X-ray pattern of sol-gel sample of Ce-Zr oxide with CeO2/ZrO2 molar ratio is 8/2 before and after reaction and initial mechanical mixture corresponding with this ratio It can be seen that, in mechanical sample there are only strongest XRD reflection of CeO2 and ZrO2 The reflection of ZrO2 in the mechanical mixture decreases than that of pure ZrO2 In XRD pattern of sol-gel sample before reaction, no peak belonged to ZrO2 could be found It can be concluded that ZrO2 enter to the structure of CeO2 in the sol-gel mixture to form a solid solution ZrO2 peaks with low intensity were detected in XRD pattern of solgel sample after reaction The reason may be the separation of solid solution at high temperature during the catalytic test Figure 32 showed the change of CeO2/ZrO2=8/2 sol-gel sample before and after reaction Before reaction sample has many pores After reaction, almost pores of sample were encapsulated The reason may be the harsh reaction condition, exothermicity of complete oxidation of C3H6 and the formation of coke Before reaction After reaction Fig 32 SEM images of CeO2/ZrO2=8/2 sol-gel sample before and after reaction III.5 Catalytic activity of CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts As results were mentioned in section III.2.3 of this chapter, Co3O4 has high reaction rate of propylene consumption but low selectivity whereas, CeO2 has quite high r,w, C3H6 cons and high CO2 selectivity Therefore, catalytic activity for complete oxidation of C3H6 of CeO2-Co3O4 mixture oxides was studied Nguyen The Tien Organic and Petrochemical Technology 87 Synthesis and catalytic properties of catalyst system based on CeO2 – ZrO2 for the complete oxidation of hydrocarbon to treat motorcycle’s exhaust gases Compared with single oxides (CeO2, Co3O4) and CeO2-ZrO2 sol-gel samples (Ce/Zr=9/1, 8/2), CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts have high activity at low temperature and high CO2 selectivity at reaction temperature (CO2 selectivity = 1) The r,w, C3H6 cons of these catalysts with the content of CeO2 more than 4% at 2000C is as high as that of at 4000C, except sample contain 20% mol CeO2, which has very high r,w, C3H6 cons at 4000C This is also the optimal Ce/Co ratio, which results in the highest activity However, the thermal resistant of this catalyst is low It was broken-up at temperature higher than 4000C Therefore, Co-Ce catalyst should be Reaction Rate of propylene consumption, mol/g.s supported on higher thermal resistant CeO2-ZrO2

activities of Co3O4/CeO2-ZrO2 As mentioned at section III.2.3, Co3O4 exhibited high reaction rate of propylene consumption and therefore, in this thesis, cobalt oxide was impregnated on Ce-Zr supports The result was showed in Figure 34 and 35 100% Ce0.9Zr0.1O 100% Co3O4 %wt Co3O 4/Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 10 %w tCo3O 4/Ce0.9Zr0.1O 20% wt Co3O 4/Ce0.9Zr0.1O -9 r, w, C3H6 cons, mol/g.s 140x10 120 100 80 60 40 20

4500C, Nguyen The Tien Organic and Petrochemical Technology 89 Synthesis and catalytic properties of catalyst system based on CeO2 – ZrO2 for the complete oxidation of hydrocarbon to treat motorcycle’s exhaust gases Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 has highest r,w, C3H6 cons whereas at temperature above 4500C, Co3O4 has highest reaction rate of propylene consumption Three impregnation samples maintained constant catalytic activity from 2500C to 5000C although their activities are lower than those of Co3O4 and Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 The reaction rate of propylene consumption of 10%wt Co3O4/Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 is higher than those of 5%wt Co3O4 and 20%wt Co3O4 samples Thus, the impregnation limit should be 10% 100 % Ce0.9Zr0.1O 100 % Ce0.8Zr0.2O 100%Co3O % wt Co3O 4/Ce0.8Zr0.2O 10%w tCo3O 4/Ce0.8Zr0.2O -9 r,

supported on Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 sample From figure 35, it can be seen that 5%wt Co3O4 and 10%wt Co3O4 /Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 sample reached to the highest reaction rate of propylene consumption from 2500C to 5000C which is similarly to three supported on Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 At temperature below 3500C, Co3O4 and 5%wt Co3O4/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 exhibited the highest activity Meanwhile at higher temperatures, Co3O4 and Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 has higher activity than those of other samples From table 23, it can be seen that CO2 selectivity of these samples is very high except for Co3O4 sample at temperatures above 4000C It reaches approximately 100% for samples supported on Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 and Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 The reason may be the interaction between Co3O4 and CeO2, which helped the catalysts obtained high conversion of propylene from low temperature (property of Co3O4) and high selectivity of CO2 (property of CeO2) Nguyen The Tien Organic and Petrochemical Technology 90 Synthesis and catalytic properties of catalyst

reaction In order to observe the dispersion of Co3O4 on Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 support, SEM images of this support and impregnated sample were introduced SEM image of 5%wt Co3O4 / Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 sample showed that Co3O4 was dispersed finely on support The particle size of Co3O4 is only few nm However, the support surface wasn’t impregnated completely Nguyen The Tien Organic and Petrochemical Technology 91 Synthesis and catalytic properties of catalyst system based on CeO2 – ZrO2 for the complete oxidation of hydrocarbon to treat motorcycle’s exhaust gases CONCLUSIONS In this thesis, main findings were investigated carefully Some conclusions have been concluded: - Main pollutants of exhaust gas were analyzed in different driving conditions such as ECE R40 and HDMC The result showed that the main composition of the exhaust gases are 0.5÷4.5 vol.% hydrocarbon, 0.5÷ vol.% CO, 4÷12 vol.% CO2, 0.05 to 0.4 vol.% NOx and 1.8÷12 vol.% O2 - The composition of hydrocarbons in exhaust gases was determined C3H6 and C7H8 are the main hydrocarbons in exhaust gas C3H6 was chosen to be studied for the complete oxidation in a lacking oxygen condition - Catalytic activity of metal oxides such as: Co3O4, CeO2, SnO2, TiO2, NiO, ZrO2, V2O5 and Al2O3 for complete oxidation of hydrocarbon (C3H6) were investigated Reaction rate of propylene consumption increases but CO2 selectivity decreases with the increase of temperature Amongst investigated oxides, Co3O4 has highest reaction rate of propylene consumption, high CO2 selectivity (approximately 100%) at low temperature but low CO2 selectivity at high temperature Meanwhile, CeO2 has not only high reaction rate of propylene but also high CO2 selectivity (above 90%) NiO has quite high activity but very low thermal resistant - Catalytic activity of mixtures of CeO2 and SnO2, CeO2 and ZrO2 were investigated CeO2-SnO2 mixtures exhibited rather high activity for the complete oxidation of propylene but CeO2-ZrO2 sample has even higher activity The catalytic activity of CeO2-ZrO2 mixture prepared by mechanical mixing is equivalent to that of CeO2-ZrO2 mixture synthesized by sol-gel method at temperature above 4500C - Some sol-gel samples such as Ce-Zr and Ce-Co sol-gel samples were researched Synergy effect was present in molar ratio Ce/Zr= 9/1, 8/2 resulting in higher activity than pure component samples (CeO2, ZrO2) due to formation of Ce-Zr solid solution by dissolve of Zr into CeO2 lattice Ce-Co sample maintain high activity at reaction temperatures but low thermal resistant Nguyen The Tien Organic and Petrochemical Technology 92 Synthesis and catalytic properties of catalyst system based on CeO2 – ZrO2 for the complete oxidation of hydrocarbon to treat motorcycle’s exhaust gases - Catalytic activity of some cobalt oxide supported on CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts was studied It can be seen that the samples has high activity at wide reaction temperature range since at low temperature due to the combination of Cobalt and Cerium active site acts The impregnation limit should be 10%wt on Ce/Zr=9/1 support and 5%wt for Ce/Zr =8/2 support - Amongst investigated catalysts, the sample with 5% wt Co3O4 impregnated on Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 exhibited highest conversion and selectivity at wide temperature range from 2500C to 5000C This catalyst was able to convert 33 % propylene in the reactant with the CO2 selectivity of 100% Nguyen The Tien Organic and Petrochemical Technology 93 Synthesis and catalytic properties of catalyst system based on CeO2 – ZrO2 for the complete oxidation of hydrocarbon to treat motorcycle’s
