TiO2 催化剂改性方法对光热催化麻疯树籽油制备 生物燃油的影响 by 杨依婕1,2, 刘莹1, 张伟1, 刘娜1, 桂超1, 蔡正达3,孙鲁闽2，陈玉保1 YANG Yijie1,2, LIU Ying1, ZHANG Wei1, LIU Na1, GUI Chao1, CAI Zhengda3, SUN Lumin2, CHEN Yubao1

“…To improve the problems of low catalytic efficiency and difficult recovery of TiO2 in the photothermal catalysis process, the Pt/TiO2-HZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by combining TiO2 with HZSM-5 molecular sieve using solid dispersion method and sol-gel method, respectively, and loaded with active metal Pt.The two catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), ultraviolet-visible light(UV-Vis), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and pyridine-infrared (Py-IR), and used in the photothermal catalytic hydrogenation of Jatropha oil for the preparation of bio-fuel to investigate the catalytic effects of the two modified catalysts.The results showed that TiO2 was successfully dispersed on the surface of the HZSM-5 molecular sieve，the specific surface area of TiO2 increased, and the pore volume and pore size of the HZSM-5 molecular sieve changed.The modified catalyst showed a significant red shift in the diffraction peak with improved absorption of visible light, and the acidic sites increased.Compared with sol-gel method,Pt/TiO2-HZSM-5 prepared by solid dispersion method had better Pt dispersion and no agglomeration phenomenon, smaller particle size and better catalytic performance. …”
