Abstract
The properties of surface oxygen species in the MgAl2O4 and CeO2/MgAl2O4 catalysts were investigated by the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) technique. Three different oxygen species existing on the surface of CeO2/MgAl2O4 catalysts - surface adsorbed oxygen, surface lattice oxygen which was affected by the interaction between the supported cerium and carrier, and the oxygen species corresponding to the multilayer crystalline of CeO2, were determined. The supported cerium oxide had different functions: it not only increased the amount of surface adsorbed oxygen, but also reduced the reduction temperature of surface lattice oxygen and improved the recoverability of the surface oxygen species. These roles of cerium oxide in the CeO2/MgAl2O4 catalyst significantly affected on the SO2 adsorption properties, in the both cases of gaseous oxygen absence and presence in the reaction stream, enhancing the De-SO2 activity.
