It has been found that the supported metal catalyst, chromia on alumina, prepared in the presence of ultrasonics (90 kHZ) is a more active catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (8N aqueous solution) than the catalyst prepared in the absence of ultrasonics. The catalyst preparation consisted of insonation for one hour during the impregnation stage and subsequent drying and calcination. The activity measurements were carried out at 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60°C in a batch reactor. The higher activity of the insonated catalyst has been explained on the basis that chromia is better dispersed on alumina in case of the insonated catalyst. The conclusion for the better dispersion of metal in the insonated case is based on BET surface areas and pore volumes and on electron microprobe analyser measurements of chromium metal distribution.
On a trouve que le catalyseur metallique forme d'oxyde de chrome sur de l'alumine et prepare en presence d'ultrasons (90 KHZ) est plus actif, pour la decomposition du peroxyde d'hydrogene (en solution aqueuse 8n), que le meme catalyseur prepare en l'absence d'ultrasons. Dans sa preparation, on a traite le catalyscur avec des ultrasons pendant une heure lors de la phase d'impregnation, suivie du sechage et de la calcination. On a effectue les mesures de l'activite a 25, 30, 40, 50 et 60°C dans un reacteur discontinu. On a explique l'activite plus grande du catalyseur traite aux ultrasons par le fait que l'oxyde de chrome est ainsi dispersee sur l'alumine. La conclusion qu'il y a une meilleure dispersion du metal en presence d'ultrasons est basee sur l'examen de l'aire des surfaces et du volume des pores ainsi que sur des mesures faites avec un analyseur, muni d'un micro-sonde a electrons, de la distribution du chrome metallique.
