Description
Summary:Mechanism of ethanol partial oxidation into syngas over catalysts based on mesoporous MgAl 2 O 4 spinel loaded with fluorite PrCeZrO or spinel MnCr 2 O 4 oxides and promoted by Ru + Ni was studied by in situ FTIRS and 18 O SSITKA. Surface species (ethoxy, adsorbed ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetate, etc.) were identified and their thermal stability and reactivity were estimated. Analysis of kinetics of the 18 O transfer into reaction products (CO, CO 2 , CH 3 CHO) allowed to estimate the rates of steps and present a scheme of the reaction mechanism including (1) fast CH 3 CHO formation on mixed metal oxide sites; (2) rate-limiting stage of surface oxygen species incorporation into acetaldehyde or ethoxy species with C–C bond rupture yielding CO and CO 2 along with H 2 and H 2 O; (3) water gas shift reaction by redox mechanism affecting CO/CO 2 ratio and their oxygen isotope fraction. Strong interaction of PrCeZrO or MnCr 2 O 4 oxides with MgAl 2 O 4 support results in decreasing constants of main reaction steps in comparison with those for catalysts based on bulk fluorite and spinel oxides, correlating with a higher surface oxygen bonding strength and its low coverage revealed by pulse microcalorimetry. DFT analysis confirmed a low energy barrier of the step of Ru–O oxygen incorporation into C–C bond of ethoxy species with its rupture explaining a higher syngas selectivity for Ru-doped catalysts.
