There is actually a growing interest to minimise the emissions of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) as side-product from nitric acid plants due to a global warming potential of approximately 300 times higher than that of CO(2). Different strategies have already been implemented at industrial scale but they are still suffering from significant drawbacks essentially associated to a poor selectivity and sometimes a short lifetime in particular when the catalytic process is inserted downstream the ammonia burner. In those critical conditions, with high residual temperature of similar to 900 degrees C, significant surface and bulk reconstructions take place and then lead to drastic losses of specific surface area and related catalytic performances in the decomposition of N(2)O to N(2). Previous investigations performed in our laboratory revealed the potentiality of zirconia particularly after yttria incorporation [Appl. Catal. B 62 (2005) 236]. Novel developments of more stable ceria-zirconia based catalysts are reported in this study. Further stabilisation and enhancement in activity have been discussed on the basis of oxygen mobility related to structural properties. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The physicochemical characterization by XRD, SEM, BET surface area and CO2 and NH3-TPD techniques confirmed the hydroxyapatite formation. These HAP catalysts were used for the vapour phase dehydration of lactic acid to acrylic acid. The HAP catalyst with a Ca/P ratio of 1.3 was found to be the most efficient catalyst among the synthesised series, which gave 100% conversion of lactic acid and 60% selectivity towards acrylic acid at 375 degrees C when a 50% (w/w) aqueous solution of lactic acid was used. The higher selectivity towards acrylic acid has been correlated to the increased acidity and reduced basicity of the HAP catalyst with a Ca/P ratio of 1.3 compared to the other HAP catalysts. The catalyst was found to be very stable and no deactivation was observed even after 300 h of reaction time. In situ FTIR studies were performed for understanding the mechanistic aspects and showed the formation of calcium lactate as an intermediate species during the dehydration of lactic acid to acrylic acid.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.852
