Novel porous ceramic sheet supported metal reactors for continuous-flow catalysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A novel porous ceramic sheet supported nickel particles reactor was obtained by an in-situ preparation method. This reactor was then used to investigate continuous-flow catalysis of nitroaromatic compounds and methyl orange. The details of the structure and morphology were characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS, Raman, element mapping, mercury intrusion method and Archimedes principle. The porous ceramic sheet supported Ni particles reactor exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol and methyl orange by sodium borohydride at room temperature. Both the conversion of p-nitrophenol (5 mM) and methyl orange (0.3 mM) reached nearly 100% at the injection speed of 2.67 mL·min-1. In addition, it maintained conversions of 100% after 10 recycling time since the porous ceramic sheet could reduce the aggregation for Ni particles. Furthermore, the chemisorbed oxygen, and the strong interaction between Ni and porous ceramic sheet resulted in a highly efficient, recoverable, and cost-effective multifunctional reactor. All of these advantages present new opportunities to be implemented in the field of waste water treatment and environmental toxicology. Ultimately, the porous ceramic sheet could also support other metal nanomaterial, and used in other fields of environmental catalysis.
