“…According to the catalysts screening compiled in Figure 3, ceria-base catalysts are among the most effective for soot combustion, and this has promoted an intense research activity during the last years on different ceria-based catalysts for Diesel soot combustion like, among others, ceria doped with Zr [25,[35][36][37][38], Fe [36,39], La [21,36,38], Pr [21,36], Sm [21,36], Tb [36], Cu [40][41][42], Mn [40,43], and Mo [44] and different compounds supported on ceria such as K/Ceria [34,45], Co/Ceria [45][46][47][48][49], Ba,K/Ceria [50,51], Cu-V/Ceria [52], Ag/Ceria [53,54] or Cu/Ceria [55].…”

This review article summarizes the contents of the keynote lecture with the same tittle presented at the 7 th edition of the International Conference on Environmental Catalysis hold in Lyon (France) in September 2012. Different aspects of the ceria-catalyzed Diesel soot combustion reactions have been critically discussed, such as the high catalytic activity of ceria for Diesel soot combustion in comparison to some other potential catalysts, the potential ceria-catalyzed Diesel soot combustion mechanisms (the so-called NO 2 -assisted mechanism and the active oxygen mechanism) and the effect of ceria doping with suitable cations like those of Pr, La or Zr. Ceria must be doped in order to enhance thermal stability, but ceria doping also changes different physicochemical and catalytic properties of ceria. Zr-doping, for instance, has a double role on ceria as soot combustion catalyst: enhances ceria oxidation capacity of the adsorbed NOx species (positive effect) but stabilizes NO 2 on surface (negative effect). The surface properties of a ceria catalyst are usually more important than those of bulk: high surface area/small crystal size usually has a positive effect on the catalyst performance and, in mixed oxides, the surface composition also plays a role. The optimal dopant loading depends on the foreign cation being, for instance, around 5-10%, 20-30% and 50 mole % for La 3+ , Zr 4+ , and Pr 3+ / 4+ , respectively.Keywords: DPF regeneration; soot; ceria; doped-ceria; Diesel engine contamination. 2This review article summarizes the contents of the keynote lecture with the same tittle presented at the 7 th edition of the International Conference on Environmental Catalysis hold in Lyon (France) in September 2012. 1.-The problem.Soot particles are formed as undesired by-products in combustion process, being one of the main pollutants emitted by Diesel engines together with NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons [1]. Typical gas exhaust composition of a Diesel car, which is summarized in Table 1, is 30-80 ppm hydrocarbons, 200-1500 ppm CO, 300-1650 ppm NO (~ 0 ppm NO 2 ), 5-18% O 2 , > 2% H 2 O and > 2% CO 2 .Soot particles consist of a carbon nucleus with some inorganic material and adsorbed hydrocarbons, SO x , and water [2]. Figure 1 shows TEM images of a real soot sample. The single particles of few nanometers present an amorphous core surrounded by a graphitic shell, and such single particles agglomerate in larger entities with size typically in the range 0.1-10 µm [3].Several adverse effects on health have been attributed to soot. A fraction of these particles (the so-called PM-10, with size smaller than 10 m) can penetrate the respiratory tract and are deposited on lungs increasing cancer risk, asthma and bronchitis. The adsorbed hydrocarbons are mutagenic substances and SO x in contact with water form strong acid compounds.Diesel particle traps with different designs can be used for soot removal from gas streams, wall-flow monoliths being the most popular [3,4]. Figure 2 shows a commercial SiC Diesel Part...

“…According to the literature, ceria-zirconia materials should be more reactive than pure ceria [4,16,[65][66][67][68]. However, the structural parameters of nanocatalysts play a key role in oxidation catalysis, and hence a proper comparison of the surface reactivity is often difficult to accomplish, due to the complexity of nanocatalysts.…”

“…The surface area of the employed catalyst is known to be of importance [21][22][23], but an improved understanding of the factors determining the intrinsic activity of a catalytic material would be beneficial. Boreskov and co-workers [24] proposed that for metal oxide catalysts the oxygen bond strength on the catalyst surface, as measured by the heat of oxygen chemisorption, is a determining factor for activity in reactions involving oxygen activation.…”

The oxygen bond strength on a catalyst, as measured by the heat of oxygen chemisorption, is observed to be a very important parameter for the activity of the catalyst in soot oxidation. With both intimate contact between soot and catalyst (tight contact) and with the solids stirred loosely together (loose contact) the rate constants for a number of catalytic materials outline a volcano curve when plotted against their heats of oxygen chemisorption. However, the optima of the volcanoes correspond to different heats of chemisorption for the two contact situations. In both cases the activation energies for soot oxidation follow linear Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi relationships with the heat of oxygen chemisorption. Among the tested metal or metal oxide catalysts Co 3 O 4 and CeO 2 were nearest to the optimal bond strength in tight contact oxidation, while Cr 2 O 3 was nearest to the optimum in loose contact oxidation. The optimum of the volcano curve in loose contact is estimated to occur between the bond strengths of α-Fe 2 O 3 and α-Cr 2 O 3 . Guided by an interpolation principle Fe a Cr b O x binary oxides were tested, and the activity of these oxides was observed to pass through an optimum for an FeCr 2 O x binary oxide catalyst, which exhibited a rate constant at 550 °C that was 2.3 times higher than the one for pure α-Cr 2 O 3 and 29 times higher than the one for pure α-Fe 2 O 3 .
