    Abstract:
    A series of BaMnO3 solids (BM-CX) were prepared by a modified sol-gel method in which a carbon black (VULCAN XC-72R), and different calcination temperatures (600-850 °C) were used. The fresh and used catalysts were characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, XPS, FESEM, TEM, O2-TPD and H2- TPR-. The characterization results indicate that the use of low calcination temperatures in the presence of carbon black allows decreasing the sintering effects and achieving some improvements regarding BM reference catalyst: (i) smaller average crystal and particles size, (ii) a slight increase in the BET surface area, (iii) a decrease in the macropores diameter range and, (iv) a lower temperature for the reduction of manganese. The hydrogen consumption confirms Mn(III) and Mn(IV) are presented in the samples, Mn(III) being the main oxidation state. The BM-CX catalysts series shows an improved catalytic performance regarding BM reference catalyst for oxidation processes (NO to NO2 and NO2-assisted soot oxidation), promoting higher stability and higher CO2 selectivity. BM-C700 shows the best catalytic performance, i.e., the highest thermal stability and a high initial soot oxidation rate, which decreases the accumulation of soot during the soot oxidation and, consequently, minimizes the catalyst deactivation.
