Solid Fe Resources Separated from Rolling Oil Sludge for CO Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: The efficient recycling of valuable resources from rolling oil sludge (ROS) to gain new uses remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we reported the recycling of solid Fe resources from ROS by a catalytic hydrogenation technique and its catalytic performance for CO oxidation. The solid Fe resources, after calcination in air (Fe₂O₃-H), exhibited comparable activity to those prepared by the calcinations of ferric nitrate (Fe₂O₃-C), suggesting that the solid resources have excellent recycling value when used as raw materials for CO oxidation catalyst preparation. Further studies to improve the catalytic performance by supporting the materials on high surface area 13X zeolite and by pretreating the materials with CO atmosphere, showed that the CO pretreatment greatly improved the CO oxidation activity and the best activity was achieved on the 20 wt.%Fe₂O₃-H/13X sample with complete CO conversion at 250 °C. CO pretreatment could produce more oxygen vacancies, facilitating O₂ activation, and thus accelerate the CO oxidation reaction rate. The excellent reducibility and sufficient O₂ adsorption amount were also favorable for its performance. The recycling of solid Fe resources from ROS is quite promising for CO oxidation applications.
