The influence of the local structure of vanadia in these catalysts on the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with nitrous oxide was investigated. The use of N2O as a co-feed remarkably enhanced the styrene yield compared with the use of N-2. Characterization of these vanadia catalysts by XRD, FTIR, UV-vis, TPR, XPS, and V-51 NMR techniques suggests that the nature of the VOx species depends on the vanadia loading: the predominant species are monomeric vanadia at lower loadings, two-dimensional polyvanadates at intermediate loadings, and bulk-like V2O5 and AlVO4 at higher loadings. The rate of oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethylbenzene per vanadium atom increases with vanadia loading and reaches a maximum at 10 wt%, the loading at which the surface predominantly contains polyvanadate species. The observed variation in the selectivity of products with vanadium loading indicates that the monomeric V5+ species favors dehydrogenation, whereas bulk-like V2O5 preferentially participates in the dealkylation of ethylbenzene. The vanadium species remains at a higher oxidation state in the presence of N2O, leading to a higher styrene yield. than in a N-2 atmosphere. The ODH turnover rates increased with decreasing energy of the absorption edge in the UV-vis spectrum, at low VOx coverages of less than one monolayer on the Al2O3 surface. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

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.
