Evaluación del óxido mixto Ni/MgO-La2O3 como catalizador en la reacción de combustión de metano en presencia de NOx.

Abstract

We have prepared mixed oxides of NiO/MgO-La2O3 by varying the proportions of the support through of the successive impregnation method. Different techniques were used to determine their physical-chemical properties, EDX analysis, X-ray diffraction, XRD, thermal methods, TGA-DSC, FTIR infrared spectroscopy, method BET surface area, temperature-programmed reduction, TPR-H2, temperature programmed desorption, TPD-O2 and TPD-NO. The results show that nickel oxide presents a strong interaction with the support, which mainly depends on the proportion of these components. The test showed the catalytic capacity of these solids for the combustion of methane in the presence of NOx type gases, and a good selectivity toward the CO2. It was also found that these catalysts discourage the formation of N2.
