Preparation of Fe/Mo/molecular sieves by CVD
- Amoco Research Center, Naperville, IL (United States)
A series of mixed metal oxide catalysts was prepared via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique by using the silanol moiety existing on various zeolite matrices as an anchoring site for metals. The novel CVD Fe/Mo/DBH catalyst was made by depositing FeCl{sub 3} and then MoO{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} on the partially deboronated borosilicate (DBH). The catalyst precursor was activated by calcining it at 650-690{degrees}C for prolonged period. Among the zeolite matrices such as borosilicate, silicalite, ZSM-5, {beta}-zeolite and {Upsilon}-zeolite, the DBH exhibited a unique papra-selective oxidation property for the gas-phase O{sub 2} oxidation of polymethylated benzenes. Terephthaldehyde was produced in the oxidation of p-xylene. The impregnated catalyst was also prepared by the incipient wetness method. The catalyst performance and the stability of the impregnated catalyst were compared with those of the CVD counterpart. The CVD catalyst was more active and showed better stability than the impregnated catalyst. These catalysts were characterized by ammonia TPD, Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy with an objective of explaining these findings.
