A series of gold colloids were prepared and immobilized on commercial activated carbon. The influence of the colloid preparation and stability were studied and related to the gold particle size in the final catalyst. The ...

A copper-ceria bulk catalyst has been compared to a series of catalysts designed according to the as called “supported approach”, corresponding to the dispersion of low content mixed copper-ceria oxide on alumina matrix. ...

Iron-modified ceria supports containing different molar percentages of Fe (0%, 10%, 25%, and 50%) were synthesized by thermal decomposition of the metal propionates. The formation of a Ce-Fe oxide solid solution is evidenced ...

This work presents an evaluation of a high performance series of water gas shift (WGS) catalysts in the preferential CO oxidation reaction (PrOx) in order to examine the applicability of the same catalyst for both processes ...

Gold catalysts were synthesized by deposition-precipitation employing Fe-doped ceria systems, previously obtained by means of the water-in-oil microemulsions methodology with different iron contents (10, 25 and 50 Fe at.%). ...

A series of ceria oxides doped with 10 mol.% of Zr, Zn and Fe have been prepared by a pseudo sol-gel method throughout the thermal decomposition of the corresponding metallic propionates. With these supports, 1 wt.% gold ...

The catalytic activity of a simple Au/Al2O3 catalytic system prepared by the direct anionic exchange (DAE) method was evaluated in the selective 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation under mild conditions, using molecular ...

The WGS reaction over multicomponent Au/Ce1-xCuxO2/Al2O3 catalysts is studied in this work. The systems are carefully designed aiming to take advantage of every active phase included in the formulation: gold, ceria and ...

Herein a strategy to design highly efficient Au/CeO2/Al2O3 based WGS catalysts is proposed. The inclusion of transition metals, namely Fe, Cu and Zn as CeO2 dopant is considered. All the promoters successfully increased ...

For this present work, a series of Au-metallized TiO 2 catalysts were synthesized and characterized in order to compare their performance in two different catalytic environments: the phenol degradation that occurs during ...
