Abstract

The catalytic properties of Fe–MCM-41 and other iron-based catalyst materials for sulfur dioxide oxidation in highly concentrated gases have been characterized for the first time. Independent of whether the catalysts were synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation, solid-state impregnation, or in situ synthesis, the activity is found to be substantially higher than that observed for an industrial iron-on-silica reference catalyst. Although some activity is lost during the formation of the catalysts, Fe–MCM-41 catalysts are remarkably stable at temperatures of up to 1023 K. Fe–MCM-41 catalysts appear to be efficient for the conversion of highly concentrated gases that cannot be processed by conventional vanadium-based catalysts due to thermal breakdown.

    Several studies have been dedicated to the investigation of transition-metal-substituted MCM-41 because of their wide range of applications in catalysis [6,7]. Specifically, the substitution of iron species in the framework of MCM such as Fe-MCM-41 has a higher specific activity in the organic reactions [8–16]. In recent decades ionic liquids phases have attracted significant attention in the scientific community as an alternative reaction medium for homogeneous catalysis [17,18].

    However, only a few studies have reported on the synthesis of bimetallic TUD-1 [12]. One study found that iron-substituted mesoporous materials resulted in a better activity in alkylation and oxidation reactions [13–15], especially in the phenol hydroxylation [16], while titanium containing silicate materials provides not only a good photocatalytic ability [17,18], but also a better phenol hydroxylation[19]. Due to the same ability of iron- and titanium-substituted mesoporous silicas in the catalytic performance for phenol hydroxylation, in this study, the incorporation of both metal atoms into TUD-1silicates was synthesized via sol–gel process using homemade silatrane, which has a much better moisture stability than TEOS, as a silica source.

    For this purpose, the double contact process with a vanadium pentoxide based catalyst is commonly used today (Dunn et al., 1999; Hugo Petersen GmbH, 2013). The application of vanadium pentoxide requires an operation at reaction temperatures in the range of 380 to 620 °C with a favoured sulphur dioxide concentration of 3–12 vol.% (Wingen, 2000; Dunn et al., 1999; Reh et al., 1973; Winkler et al., 1999; Yavor et al., 1984). Additionally, poisoning of vanadium based catalysts by arsenic and fluorine has to be avoided (Yavor et al., 1984).

    Many papers are published in the literature to study the structure and interaction between different active components using chemisorptions technique [29–34]. Regarding silica-based molybdenum oxide systems, different results can be found in the literature using Raman, UV–vis and XAS analysis [35–42]. Among different supports and their combinations, TiO2 and ZrO2 have attracted attention due to the higher intrinsic hydrodesulphurization (HDS) activity demonstrated by Mo catalysts supported on these oxides in comparison with alumina-supported counterpart [3,6,9].
