Abstract

During previous catalytic tests on the reducing power of NOx catalysts based on pozzolana and PN-black citric acid polymer, it was found that the use of the NO₂ model molecule poses a significant health and environmental risk. Thus, a project was launched to find another, much less harmful model molecule. Hydrogen peroxide H₂O₂ was chosen, a molecule naturally secreted by the body to prevent pigment synthesis, with disinfectant, antiseptic and whitening properties widely used in various activities, including cosmetics. Consequently, catalytic tests of NOx-reducing power using hydrogen peroxide H₂O₂ as a model molecule were carried out on two catalysts based on pozzolana and PN-black polymer of citric acid, PNP-Fe-water-15% and PNP-Fe-ethanol-15%, differing in the solvent used during their syntheses according to a procedure detailed in the bibliography and this manuscript. Pozzolana is a volcanic rock widespread in the volcanic mountains in the Vakinankaratra region of Madagascar. Its use as a support for catalysts based on PN-black polymer of citric acid and Iron-Fe enabled us to synthesize various catalysts, the characteristics and synthesis methods of which are detailed in this manuscript. In short, the catalytic test with hydrogen peroxide was conclusive, enabling a pragmatic comparison of the two catalysts tested, with the result that the catalyst synthesized with water PNP-Fe-water-15% is more active than the catalyst synthesized with ethanol PNP-Fe-ethanol-15%. This is due to the quality and difference in dispersion of the PN-black polymer molecules depending on the solvent used, which can have an impact on the nature of the catalyst surfaces and certain characteristics such as porosity. This dispersion is confirmed and viewed using an optical microscope to visualize the surface of a catalyst grain. Kinetic results from two proposed mechanisms for the reduction of H₂O₂ hydrogen peroxide molecules using PNP-Fe catalysts also confirmed not only the proposed mechanisms, but also the higher activity of PNP-Fe catalysts synthesized with water, whose kinetic constants are much higher than those synthesized with ethanol.
