Influence of Structure on Catalytic Properties of La0.7Sr0.3BO3 (B = Mn, Fe, Ni) Perovskite Catalysts in Total Oxidation Reaction of M-Xylene 

Abstract

In this study, the influence of structure on catalytic properties of La0.7Sr0.3BO3 (B = Mn, Fe, Ni) perovskite catalysts in total oxidation reaction of m-xylene was studied. Perovskite oxides of La0.7Sr0.3BO3 (B = Mn, Fe, Ni) were prepared by sol-gel citrate method. Structural properties of these materials were determined by various physico-chemical methods such as X-ray diffraction method (XRD) with Rietveld analytical method using Fullprof program, infra - red spectroscopy method (IR), temperature - programmed desorption of oxygen (TPDO) method and nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms method (BET). Obtained results show that there is a close relationship between the structural properties and catalytic activity of these materials: the catalyst that has the more of structural distortion, the larger of specific surface area, the greater of the amount of chemically adsorbed oxygen on the catalyst and the less durable of B-O link that has the higher of catalytic activity in total oxidation recation of m-xylene. Perovskite of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 has structural features the best, so it has the highest of catalytic activity in total oxidation recation of m-xylene.
