The corresponding monometallic catalysts were also prepared by loading 1% Ag or 1% Au on the same high surface area alumina for comparison. The catalysts were characterised by various physico-chemical techniques and tested for SCR activity under lean burn engine exhaust conditions. Ag-Au/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by successive impregnation method showed considerably higher NO reduction (100%) to N-2 compared to 1% Au/Al2O3 (70%) whereas the activity was comparable with that of 1% Ag/Al2O3 (96%). The effect of various pretreatments on SCR activity of Ag-Au/Al2O3 was studied and pretreatment at 250 degrees C in flow of hydrogen was found to give the best results with 100% NO conversion to N-2 at 353 degrees C. Further ageing of the catalyst under reaction feed at 500 degrees C resulted in considerable increase in low temperature activity of bimetallic catalyst with similar to 40% NO conversion at 222 degrees C. Even though the SCR activity of pretreated Ag-Au/Al2O3 and Ag/Al2O3 were comparable, after ageing the Ag-Au/Al2O3 showed significantly higher NO conversion (95%) compared to Ag/Al2O3 (83%) and Au/Al2O3 (70%). The formation of H-2 and CO due to steam reforming of higher hydrocarbon (decane) was evidenced at the temperature of highest deNO(x) activity. Detailed investigation of the textural properties of the pretreated and aged catalysts showed presence of well dispersed metallic Au and Ag-n(delta+) clusters after pretreatment in hydrogen at 250 degrees C.

The NiXMg2AlOY nanocomposites are composed of small and uniform nanoparticles (4-6 nm) of NiO, Ni-Mg-(Al)-O and/or MgO. The strong interactions existing between Ni2+ cations and Mg2+ and/or Al3+ cations either in the Ni-Mg-(Al)-O solid solution and/or at the interface of nanoparticles of NiO and/or Ni-Mg-(Al)-O make the catalyst highly active and stable. The behavior of the solids is analyzed in the presence of low and high concentrations of ethanol while maintaining a H2O/EtOH molar ratio of 3. The NiXMg2AlOY catalysts are shown to be efficient toward H-2 production between 250 and 650 degrees C. In the presence of low concentration of ethanol, on the highly loaded Ni compound (Ni12Mg2AlOY), total conversion of ethanol is obtained at 250 degrees C without formation of CO and carbon, and at 300 degrees C a H-2 yield of 3 mol moletEtOH(-1) is obtained without the formation of CO, exhibiting a remarkable stability with the time on stream even if some carbon is formed. In high concentration of ethanol, total conversion of ethanol is obtained at 450 degrees C on the highly loaded Ni compound (Ni12Mg2AlOY). In such conditions, a stable co-generation of carbon nanofibrous materials which amount increases with Ni content is also obtained. The catalytic stability is related to the type and morphology of the carbon species formed. The correlations among the catalyst properties, the catalytic performances and the characterizations are thoroughly discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
