Abstract
The effect of either pure alcohols or alcohols + propionic acid mixtures as solvents for the preparation by flame pyrolysis of a standard LaCoO3 catalyst, to be employed for the catalytic flameless combustion of methane, has been investigated. All the catalysts proved very active for the mentioned reaction. Low-MW pure alcohols showed however less suitable than alcohols-propionic acid mixtures, leading to lower perovskite phase purity, less particle size homogeneity and lower specific surface area. The high volatility of the solvent seems to be the major cause, together with the improper behaviour of nitrates (forced by solubility reasons) as perovskite metals precursors. However, the addition of propionic acid to the alcohols allowed to use the acetates as precursors and hence to obtain high perovskitic phase purity, high SSA and Uniform particle size. Moreover, the increase of combustion enthalpy of the solvent, through the addition of higher-MW alcohols, leading to progressively higher flame temperature, strongly improved the thermal resistance of the catalyst, without lowering catalytic performance.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
