[Experimental study of catalytic reduction of SO2 on CeO2-La2O3/gamma-Al2O3 rare earth mixed compounds].
Addition of rare earth oxide CeO2 with variable valences to La2O3 formed a mixture of rare earth oxides. This mixture can be used as the catalyst for the reduction of SO2 by CO. In a fixed-bed flow reactor, experimental were investigated for studying the activation process of this catalyst and effect factors such as temperature and concentration ratio of reactant on the activation reaction under the following conditions: composition of the gas mixture SO2:CO = 1:3, balancing with N2 and feed flow rate 1000 mL/min. The phase structure changes of this catalyst were expressed with XRD and XPS. The results demonstrated that the activation temperature of CeO2-La2O3/gamma-Al2O3 is 50-100 degrees C lower than that of a single component La2O3/gamma-Al2O3 or CeO2/gamma-Al2O3, and the mixture of rare earth oxides has higher activity on catalytic reduction of SO2 by CO. It's most likely that the result reveals on the synergism between CeO2 and La2O3.
