The Al-pillared montmorillonite-supported alkaline earth metal 5M/Al-PILC(PILC = pillared clay, M = Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) and x Mg/Al-PILC( x = 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt.%) samples were prepared using an impregnation method. Physical properties of the materials were determined by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption, and their CO2 adsorption behaviors were investigated using the thermogravimetric analyzer(TG), CO2 temperatureprogrammed desorption(CO2-TPD), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared transform spectroscopy(in situ-DRIFTS) techniques. It is shown that 5 Mg/Al-PILC possessed the highest CO2 adsorption capacity(2.559 mmol/g). The characterization results indicate that Alpillaring increased the specific surface area of montmorillonite, which was beneficial for the adsorption of CO2. The CO2 adsorption process on the sample was mainly chemical adsorption, and alkalinity was the main factor influencing its adsorption capacity. The alkalinity of the sample was enhanced by loading an appropriate amount of alkaline earth metal, and the adsorbed CO2 was present in the form of bicarbonate and carbonate. In addition, the 5Mg/Al-PILC sample exhibited an excellent regeneration efficiency. We believe that the outcome of this research would provide a good option for developing highly effective CO2 adsorption materials.
The Fe-modi fied sepiolite-supported Mn–Cu mixed oxide(Cux Mny/Fe-Sep) catalysts were prepared using the co-precipitation method.These materials were characterized by means of the XRD,N_2 adsorption–desorption,XPS,H_2-TPR,and O_2-TPD techniques,and their catalytic activities for CO and ethyl acetate oxidation were evaluated.The results show that catalytic activities of the Cux Mny/Fe-Sep samples were higher than those of the Cu1/Fe-Sep and Mn2/Fe-Sep samples,and the Mn/Cu molar ratio had a distinct in fluence on catalytic activity of the sample.Among the Cux Mny/Fe-Sep and Cu1Mn2/Sep samples,Cu1Mn2/Fe-Sep performed the best for CO and ethyl acetate oxidation,showing the highest reaction rate and the lowest T50 and T90 of 4.4×10^(-6) mmol·g-1·s-1,110,and 140 °C for CO oxidation,and 1.9×10^(-6) mmol·g-1·s-1,170,and210 °C for ethyl acetate oxidation,respectively.Moreover,the Cu1Mn2/Fe-Sep sample possessed the best lowtemperature reducibility and the lowest temperature of oxygen desorption as well as the highest surface Mn^(4+)/Mn^(3+) and Cu^(2+)/CuO atomic ratios.It is concluded that factors,such as the strong interaction between the Cu or Mn and the Fe-Sep support,good low-temperature reducibility,and good mobility of chemisorbed oxygen species,might account for the excellent catalytic activity of Cu1Mn2/Fe-Sep.

Au-supported 13X-type zeolite(Au/13X)was synthesized using a common deposition-precipitation(DP)method with a solution of sodium carbonate as a precipitate agent.Further testing was conducted to test for catalytic oxidation of CO.A study was conducted on the effects of different preparation conditions(i.e.,chloroauric acid concentration,solution temperature,pH of solution,and calcinations temperature)on Au/13X for CO oxidation.In respect to the catalytic activity,the relationship between different the preparation conditions and gold particles in 13X zeolite was analyzed using X-ray diffraction,TEM and XPS.The activity of Au/13X catalysts in CO oxidation was dependent on the chloroauric acid concentration.From XRD results,a higher chloroauric acid concentration induced larger gold nanoparticles,which resulted in lower catalytic activity.Results revealed that higher temperatures induced higher Au loading,homogeneous deposit,and smaller gold clusters on the support of 13X,resulting in higher CO activity.Furthermore,a pH of 5 or 6 generated greater amounts of Au loading and smaller Au particles on 13X than at a pH of 8 or 9.This may be a result of an effective exchange between Au(OH)_(2)Cl_(2)^(-)and Au(OH)_(3)Cl^(-)on specific surface sites of zeolite under the pH’s 5 and 6.The sample calcined at 300℃showed the highest activity,which may be due to the sample’s calcined at 200℃inability to decompose completely to metallic gold while the sample calcined at 400℃had larger particles of gold deposited on the support.It can be concluded from this study that Au/13X prepared from a gold solution with an initial chloroauric acid solution concentration of 1.5×10^(-3)mol·L^(-1)gold solution pH of 6,solution temperature of around 90℃,and a calcination temperature of 300℃provides optimum catalytic activity for CO oxidation.
