Research Abstract |
The catalytic properties of H_2-reduced MoO_3 with noble metal for the conversions of pentane and propan-2-ol were studied. No appreciable difference appeared in the pentane isomerization activity and in the propan-2-ol dehydration activity among Pt, Pd, Rh, and Ir/MoO_3 catalysts after reduction at 773 K for 12 h. H_2-reduced Ru/MoO_3 exhibited the lower isomerization and dehydration activities than other catalysts. The isomerization and the dehydration activities of H2-reduced Ru/MoO_3 was improved by an increase in the amount of Ru loading, while those of H_2-reduced Pt/MoO_3 changed very little. XRD and TPR studies showed that the reduction process of Ru/MoO_3 varied with the amount of Ru. By contrast, reduction of Pt/MoO_3 involved the formation of hydrogen molybdenum bronze, H_xMoO_3, irrespective of the amount of Pt. We suggest from these results that reduction of H_xMoO_3 can yield the active phase for pentane isomerization and for propan-2-ol dehydration. In order to manifest the roles of H_xMoO_3, the effects of H_2 reduction on the physical and catalytic properties of one type of hydrogen molybdenum bronze, H_<1.55>MoO_3, were studied. H_2 reduction enlarged the surface areas of H_<1.55>MoO_3 and Pt/MoO_3, but not the surface area of MoO_3. H_<1.55>MoO_3 became an active catalyst for pentane isomerization and for propan-2-ol dehydration after H_2 reduction. The catalytic activities of H_2-reduced H_<1.55>MoO_3 were comparable to those of H_2-reduced Pt/MoO_3, and were much higher than those of H_2-reduced MoO_3. In reduction of H_<1.55>MoO_3 and Pt/MoO_3, molybdenum oxyhydride, MoO_xH_y, was formed after the decomposition of the hydrogen molybdenum bronze phase. By contrast, MoO_3 was reduced to MoO_2 without the formation of hydrogen bronze. We propose from these results that H_2 reduction of hydrogen molybdenum bronze will generate the MoO_xH_y phase that can act as the active phase for the conversions of pentane and propan-2-ol.
