By using the Temperature Programmed Desorption Technique, the surface characteristics of Ag/α-Al_2O_3 catalyst were studied. The TPD method provided information on the adsorption; desorption process of various catalysts. This study was carried out by using the Ag/α-Al_2O_3 and oxygen gas as the catalyst and adsorbed material respectively.
According to the experimental results, Ag/α-Al_2O_3 catalyst has two different kinds of peaks, which are termed sites Ⅰ(low temperature peak, weaker sites) and sites Ⅱ(high temperature stronger sites), respectively. Oxygen of sites Ⅱ to be very stronger in adsorption on Ag/α-Al_2O_3 catalyst than that of sites I. In the oxidation of ethylene on Ag/α-Al_2O_3 catalyst, the ethylene was considered to react more easily with the oxygen of sites I than that of sites Ⅱ. And 10wt% catalyst was more reduced than 5wt% catalyst.
