Research Abstract

We have investigated the catalytic oxidative decomposition of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the presence of hydrocarbons. In our previous work, it was found out that WO_3/Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 catalyst exhibited a high activity for CFC-115. In this work, the particicality of the catalitic reaction was investigated.
The oxidative decomposition of CFC-115 in the presence of butane was carried out over various molar ratios WO_3/Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 catalysts. The CFC-115 conversion was constant in the range of Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 molar ratios from 0.5 to 4. The similar tendency was shown in the range of tungsuten oxides contents from 2.2 to 9wt%.
WO_3/Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 catalysts doped with various metal oxides were investigated for the oxidative decomposition of CFC-12 in the presence of butane at low temperatures. The Pt doped catalyst exhibitedmthe highest activity for CFC-12. Then, the oxidetive decomposition of CFC-12 was carried out over the Pt-doped catalyst. The Pt-doped catalyst was much more active than no … More n-doped catalyst. Thus, it is considered that the WO_3/Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 catalyst was depressed the fluorination of active sites by doping with Pt.
The decomposition of CFC-12 in the presence of butane were carried out under various C_4H_<10>/CFC-12 ratios over WO_3/Al_3O_3-ZrO_2 catalyst. The WO_3/Al_2O_3-ZrO_3 catalyst exhibited a high activity for CFC-12 in the range of C_4H_<10>/CFC-12 molar ratios from 0.5 to 1.
It was found that the high activity of WO_3/Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 catalyst for CFCs is caused by the solid acidity of the catalyst. In order to investigate the relationship betwteen solid acidity and activity of Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 carrier, the amount of solid aciditiy of Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 carrier various ZrO_2 content was measured by NH3-TPD method. The amount of solid acidity of Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 decreaced with an increace in ZrO_2 content. However, Al_2O_3-ZrO_2 carrier with a ZrO_2 molar fraction of 0.2 was the most active for the oxidative decomposition of CFC-12 in the absence of hydrocarbons over the carrier used as a catalyst. These results suggests that the catalytic activity participates in the acidic strength and kind of activity. Less
